State Department of Agriculture at
Olympia, and is signed by E. F. Ben

"The expense funds in the state

veterinarians doing tuberculin test
work are now practically exhausted

ing men in the field since the war
started and since the last legislative
appropriation.
There are funds to pay amply in
demnity on all tubercular animals
that may be slaughtered. Owners of
live stock may yet avail themselves
OF the indemnity provisions of the
statutue, if they will have their ami
mails tested at their own expense
the work to be done by veterinarians
approved by the commissioner of
agriculture and who are bonded to
the state of Washington.
"In some cases arrangements may
be made for regular salaried veterin-
arians of this department to apply the
