5PER CENT OF
COWS SHOWED
TUBERCULOSIS
Tests All Over State and in Tacoma
Found 1902 TubercuIar Bovines
Out Of Many Thousands

A record of 16,O69 COWS tested for
tuberculosis during the last sixteen
months AN average in excess of 1000
per month, has been attained by the
state department of agriculture. Ia.
coma city authorities during the same
period made 1926 tests, checked by
the state authorities, so that during
this time the tuberculin test has been
applied to considerably more than one
tenth of the 175,OOO dairy cows in
the state.
The state and Tacoma tests com
bined showed 1902 tubercular cows.
Pierce county was found to contain
the most disease, approximately II
per cent of the cows tested showing
tuberculosis. In the rest of the state
5 per cent of the cows tested were
diseased.
OF the tests listed 6,555 were made
under the new compensation law, ef-
fective June 10.
AS an indication OF how this law
is working out, Agricultural Commits
sioner H. +. Graves has tabulated
statistics dealing with the first 2O9
COWS found diseased and slaughtered.
These cows were appraised at a total
Of $3.50, or an average Of $2S.66.
After being slaughtered the car
casses were sold for meat or tankage
depending upon the progress of the
disease, and brought for the owners
$2,606.S7, an average of $12.4S per car
cass. The state made up the bal
ance of the appraised value, paying a
total of s3,3S2.13, or an average of
$1618 per condemned animal.
Commissioner Graves believes that
at the present rate the $25,0O0 ap-
preparation for compensation purposes
will allow the testing of a total of
10000 animals.

There was moments confusion, end

City Engineer L. D. Kelseys first
report on work on the Wishkah water
project showed that, in accordance
with instructions from the council, he
had sent out two parties on October
3 and 6 to make surveys from Wish
kah Falls to the city. Kelsey stat
ed that the city may get it's winter
water supply from Parker creek, above
the falls, its summer supply from the
Wishkah river, in this way not con-
flicting with the operations of logging

fered with the work, Kelsey thought
that fair progress was being made.

More Crabs From
Harbor When Bar
Is Given Widening

The crab industry of Grays Harbor
will attain far bigger proportions. To-
cal fishermen figure, when the i'm
provement of the harbor bar is COM
pleted. At present the daily shipping
from here amounts to about 100 doz-
en- crabs daily. At Willapa Harbor
some $50 dozen are being shipped
daily; this being due to the fact that
the Willapa Harbor bar is wider and
easier for the fishing boat to cross.
