Mr.. c. P. Norgord, Commissioner
OF Agriculture, introduced his subject
by an explanation of the work of his
department and also an outline of the
Program for the State Fair. Speaking
to the theme, Accredited Tuberculin
Tested Herds,'' he said in part:
Not only are the Hoof and Mouth
Disease and Anthrax serious problems
1or our department, but Bovine Tu-
oeTculosis requires our most diligent
attention. A previous law on the stat
utes invaluable to US has been re-
pealed and there is danger that the
cattle Breeders will sleep. Not only
me financial waste, the diminution of
'he milk flow, but the personal danger
resulting from bovine tuberculosis
urges precaution and prevention.
Speaking on the much quoted position
winch was credited TO Prof. Hoch, he
SAID II has been publicly repudiated,
ana instead direct illustrations have
oeen worked out showing that un-
qnestionably human tuberculosis re-
SUITS directly and indirectly from bO-
Vhe tuberculosis Statistics from
Germany revealed the facts that Is
per cent of the cases occurring in
children under 10 years came this way.
III England % per cent of cases of like
ages developed from this source.
"o groups of studies were made in
.he United States Department of
agriculture and revealed in Group A:
1hat pigs infected with bovine tuber
euiosls developed 81 per cent in three
weeks and Group B: One hundred
tuberculosis LESSONS resulting in intes-
'nial tracts developed. Reasoning by
Siiaiogy it cannot be doubted that
children so effected by milk from cows
80 BADLY infected cannot fail to re-
spohd to this terrible disease. When
becomes known that 80 per cent
u the herds given the Tuberculin
leS' responded (and tuberculosis can
ol'y De so detected in the bovine)
nus revealing that one out of every
.I[ee herds so tested revealed Tuber-
euioSls it shows the alarming danger
