Interesting Facts in Regard to Tu-
berculosis Eradication.

Mr.. c. w. Dack,
County. Agr'l Agent,

Dear Sir-During the month of
December, 1921, Congress appropri-
ated 100000 as an emergency fund,
for tuberculosis eradication work.

State Veterinarian has recently adj

State Treasury available for tuber-

should have an allotment of 100000
Of Federal funds TO meet the State
funds in this cooperative work.

over 5000 herds on the waiting list,
and they must continue to wait
unless the counties in which they are
located make arrangements with the
Iowa Commission of Animal Health
for area work. The Commission
will be unable to grant this privilege
for the reason that the funds APP
propriated by the State and Federal
Government are not sufficiently large
to allow these counties to take the
