FIRST COUNTY OF

CHOLERA CONTROL
MAURY TAKES. STEPS FOR ERAp.
IcATIoN OF DISEASE IN
SWINE.
FARMERS HERE PROGRESSIVE
Organization viii Have 1000 Members
Which viii Give it Working CAPT.
tai of $4,000 to Cover the Cost Of
Operations.
BY DR.. JNo. P. o'CoNNoR,

The farmers of Maury county have
certainly taken the most progressive
step in the history of the county. The
action taken by Capt. J. N. Meroney's
committee in forming a Hog Cholera
Control organization at the mass meet.
ing held in the circuit court room last
Saturday places the stamp Of progress
on the farmers Of the Dimple.
The further action taken by the
members of the association in decid.
ing to employ veterinarian for the
purpose of controlling hog cholera in
the herds Of the members, has placed
the Dimple in a position which Is
unique, this being the first Of Tonnes
sees ninety-six counties to organize
fer the control of hog cholera and the
Maury County Hog Cholera Control
association the first association of its
kind south Of the Ohio river to take
such advanced steps, as to employ a
veterinarian.
1t was decided to make the mem
bership of the organization number
One Thousand, with annual dues of
three dollars per member, this would
furnish working capital of $4,000. 90,
which would pay the salary and ex-
penses Of the veterinarian and pur-
chase a supply Of serum to start the
work with. The serum will be fur
nished to members at actual cost and
the annual dues paid by the member
covers the cost Of application by an
experienced and competent veter-
marian.
While there is much to be said on
the subject, lack of space compels
brevity, but with the indulgence of
the management of this paper, we will
endeavor to place the entire matter
before the people in the near future,
SO all may become acquainted with
the association and its methods.

Attendance at the meeting Saturday
