MANY APPLICATIONS
FOR CATTLE TESTING

Montpelier, March THE commission
er of agriculture is still receiving a large
number of applications for testing Of
cattle. The number has far exceeded
the expectation when the Legislature was
in session. The total sum has been so
depleted that L. S. Brigham in reply to
each applicant states that he has placed
their application on file but there will
not be funds available until 1921, there
being so many applications ahead of
those being received now which will take
the rest of the appropriation. But he
urges the applicants to leave their ap-
plcation SO that after another session Of

lose their position in the number of ap-
plications.
