Important Meeting.

There will be a meeting of all dairymen next Saturday after noon at ? D. m. for the purpose of a discussion of the tubercu- lin test. The meeting will be under the direction of Dr. Adams, of the State Experiment Station and Dean of the College of Agriculture of the University of Arkansas Dr. Linton, State Vetenarian. and Dr. Robert B. Grimes, of the Bureau of Animal Industry of Washington. It is absolutely essential that every patron of the creameries be in attendance.
 The Memphis Board of Health has made a ruling that milk from cows that have not undergone a test for tuberculosis could not be sold in Memphis, and conse- quently refused to accept milk from this section and all of Eas- tern Arkansas. As a result, Messrs. A. M. Thornton, J. W. Puryear and W. N. Crow ap- pealed to the State Agricultural Experiment Station for aid of some kind. The station has the authority to act in such matters, but being short of funds at this time the director of the station, pr. c. F. Adams, in turn ap- pealed to the Government, and was informed that aid would be forthcoming. There will now follow a thorough inspection of all the dairy COWS in this section, and all COWS found to be infected with the disease will be con- demned. In view of this the Memphis Board of Health has been induced to postpone cutting off Carlisle milk until September II.
 Tuberculosis is defined as a constitutional disease character ized by the production of tuber- cules in the internal organs, and especially in the lungs, where it constitutes the most common va riety of pulmonary consumption. It is killing thousands upon thou. sands of persons every year, and s e t and organizations throughout the country are talk ing measures to prevent it's spread. The Memphis Board of Health is thoroughly justified in the step it has taken.
 If the dairymen of this section are to retain Memphis as a mar ket for their products they must cooperate in this movement. We, therefore, again urge that every milkman attend this meet ing.
