Cattle Commissioner Davis Suggests
New Plan to Keep Herds Free
From Tuberculosis

State Cattle Commissioner Fred l..
Davis when asked regarding the work
of his department stated that some
testing was being done but that the
calls were fewer at this time OF year
when the cattle were in pasture than
they were when they were kept in
the barns a greater part of the time.
In conversation regarding the work
of freeing the state from bovine tu-
berculosis, Mr.. Davis made a sugges-
ton which very likely may be embOd-
led in the form of a bill to be pre-
scented during the next session of the
Legislature This plan is that when
a herd of cattle is once tested the
farmer should be under obligations
thereafter to keep his herd clean. In
other words, when he makes add
tons to his herd By purchase he shall
make sure that the<cattle he buys are
free from tuberculosis. Under exist
ing conditions, the farmer who re-
ceiVes pay from the state for cattle
condemned and killed, may go out
and purchase any cattle he pleases,
sound or unsOund, and call upon the
state almost Immediately for another
test. If he knew that having had his
herd tested once he was under ob1-
cations to keep that herd clean he
would be more careful in the quality
of stock purchased and the tendency
would be to discourage the sale of
INFESTED cattle. The plan has met
with much favor among those who
have given it consideration.
