COLQUITT FARMERS
GOT GOOD RESULTS
FROM USING SERUM

Moultrie, Jan. 1.-THE whole ques-
tion of hog cholera eradication work
in Colquitt county was gone into at
public meeting held here Tuesday
The meeting, which was called fol.
lowing the lfiing of charges with the
board of county commissioners that
inferior serum was being used by
state veterinarians, and that as re.
suit many hogs that were supposed
to have been immunized had did
from cholera, was ATTENDED by ~
Peter F. Bahnsen, state veternil' "A
and large crowd of bog raisers Il ID
interested business men. Declaring
that he had no cards to hide and fear.
ing nothing from an investigation, Dr.
Bahson asked for q public hearing,
saying that both sides would be given
an opportunity to be heard
The investigation showed that the
work done here, by the veterinarian
who has been in charge of the cam
paign has been remarkably success
full. Owners of 1O4 herds of hogs, re.
presenting total of S,218, stated that
their combined losses from cholera
in hogs given the double treatment
with serum was SO, or just 2.9 per
cent. Actual figures showed this re.
suit. Many farmers got up at the
meeting and declared that they had
their herds inocculated and hadn't
lost single one, while their neigh.
bors who failed to have their herds
given the double treatment in many
caseP lost nearly every hog they had
from cholera. n
The owners of five herds, however,
testified to bad results after having
their hogs treated. One farmer de.
clared that out of fifty hogs, treated
20 died from cholera. Another farm
er testified that he lost twelve out
of thirteen, but he admitted that nine
of them were sick when treated. The
other three cases of bad results were
not as conspicuous as the foregoing.
DR.. Bahsen declared that he didn't
make claims that the double treat
ment was 100 percent efficient, but in,
stead that it was the best known pre-
ventative Of cholera. He also point
ed out that some Of the hogs which
are supposed to have died from cho-
lera, might have died from other
causes. In none of the cases cited
was diagnosis made by a veterinarian
DR.. Bahsen declared, but assuming all
of the SO which did die suffered from
cholera, it only puts the losses at
2.9 per cent.
Following the conclusion of the
hearing, the county commissioners
said that they not only didn't want
the work stopped but promised their
cooperation in carrying it on even
on larger scale.
