RESOLUTION ADOPTED
AT STOCKMEN'S MEET

Bismarck. N. D.. March 1s.-Dr. T.
F. Crew, state veterinarian. Is home
from Helena, Mont, where he at
tended an important meeting. of the
Northwestern Live Stock Sanitary as
sociation. Minnesota, Wyoming,
Montana, South Dakota and other
northwestern states were represented
by state veterinarians and other OFF,
cials.
The indemnifcation Of owners Of
pure bred stock slaughtered because
Of tuberculin was one of the subjects
discussed. "In our state" reported
DR.. Crew. 'if these animals are found
tuberculous within six months after
their arrival in North Dakota. the
owner is not indemnified. and he
therefore stands a total loss. This is
unfair to our breeders, and the only
solution is to compel pure bred ami
mails to be bought subject to sixty
day retest. Legitimate breeders who
have clean herds have nothing to fear
from a retest as the contract between
the buyer and seller will provide that
animals shipped in under a retest
agreement must be isolated and kept
