FUND TO Be RAISED
FOR FLU SUFFERERS
WHO ARE IN NEED

Notwithstanding that the influenza
epidemic is subsiding, and that it has
been milder here than in almost any
other part of the country there are
still large number of cases, and in
some families all the members are
sick, with none able to wait on the
other. On this account there is need
for volunteer nurses, for suitable
food, for bed linen, and other neces.
sites.
To meet this situation 1t has been
suggested that a fund be raised to
purchase these necessities for the sick
who are unable to provide for them
selves, and it is asked that all persons
who desire to do some real charity
make donation to this fund. 1t viii!
be placed in the hands of persons Of
Judgment, who will spend ii 10 the
hest advantage, seeing that relief Is
given where it Is most needed.
Many persons are working strenu-
ously to assist in nursing and ether
wise relieving the distress that ex-
lists, and there is much individual
charity. If all the latter, however,
were handed through one channel, a
great deal more good could be accom-
plished.
Mr.. II. C. Stevens, representing
the local Red Cross organization, will
receive donations for this purpose;

A few dollars raised in this way
will do untold good at this time.

want our share Of this brsinea5 we muet
prepare to furnish a clean bill Of health
for our herds.
Since July I we have az. er..,-
ing with the federal bureau of animal in
dustry to the extent that the bureau
has detailed veterinary inspector for
tuberculosis testing in Vermont and the
state has employed veterinarian on
salary to do work Of the same kind. Herds
tested by either of these men and found
free from tuberculosis will, when they
have passed another test, be eligible for
the accredited list. When this years work
s over / feel sure that we shall have at
least 100 eligible herds. II our present CO.
operative arrangements with the federal
bureau continue. believe our present ap-
preparation and the law under which we
are working, will enable us to complete
the second testing Of these herds, so that
| they may be accredited and will also en-
| able us to get several more herds in line.
| This will give us an opportunity to try
out the plan to see IL II meets the approval
| OF our breeders. II 1t does meet with
their approval and seems to be
practicable method Of gaining and holding
ground in controlling tuberculosis by form
ing lasting bond between the individual
farm and the State and federal authorities
who have control of this work, l shall ask
the cooperation of the breeders at the
next session Of the Legislature to so
revamp our livestock laws that our funds
may be largely devoted to helping those
herd owners who sincerely desire, not only
to produce but also to maintain. healthy
herds by following those regulations which
will place them upon the accredited list.
It will also be we'll to consider If 1t will
not be good business policy for the State
to appropriate enough money SO that
every herd owner who Is willing to agree
to follow these regulations may be taken
care of. In this way we shall sooner get
control Of the disease and stop the ex-
Ipense. BY paying less than we do now to
insure owners. we may assist more of
those who sincerely desire to maintain
clean herds, without greatly increased ex-
pense to the State.
The present status of our appropriation
for the fiscal year is such that we are war
ranted in receiving applications for test
ing about 1000 head of cattle more than
we now have applications for on file. If
there be any herd men who are interested In
the accredited herds plan and who believe
in its advantage so that they wish to have
their herds eligible for the accredited list
as soon as possible, we shall be glad tc
receive their applications. Let us not make
our neghbors from the Nutmeg State &c
away out to Wisconsin to buy dairy cows
, from accredited herds, We need the money
there.
