NOW IS THE LOGICAL TINE 10
\ TEST

The long expected drive on cattle
testing In Hartford County has begun.
In addition to the nine men belonging
to the force engaged in this work in
Maryland, We have additional Inspec-
tors from Virginia, West Virginia,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Della
ware, making total of 10 engaged in
this work at the present time in Har-
ford County.
Hartford farmers and cattle owners
should feel gratifed in being able to
secure this assistance, and in being
enabled II they so wish to make their
county the first one free Of tuberculo-
sis in the State of Maryland. How
ever. in order that this may be accom-
plished we need the fullest kind Of CO.
operation, and cooperation in effect
as well as In mind. In our work We
find quite number Of people who are
in sympathy with the movement and
who believe that their cattle should be
tested, but for some reason or another
later date. For the benefit Of those,
we wish to say that 1t Is the plan Of
the Bureau in conducting these CAM
paigns to test for all owners who are
ready at this time to have the work
done. Those who are not ready must
wait at least year In order to secure
the test, as at the conclusion Of this
drive of only few weeks all inspectors
with the exception Of one, will be with
drawn from the territory and II will
require that one mans time continual
ly to take care Of retests and miscel-
laneous work,
Now, whenever you figure this out
that if your cows are not tested in this
present drive and practically all others
are, your animals will possess very
little If any value. You win DO faced
with the probability Of having your
milk refused In shipment The State
funds are bound to become exhausted
some time and when the test becomes
necessary II Is likely you will have 10
hire veterinarian and that you will
not receive indemnity for any cows
that will go down on test. Now let US
get together and reason this thing out
logically, appreciate the help which has
been extended TO us and all work to
make Hartford the first absolutely
i00q6 free Of tuberculosis county In the
Eastern part of the country.
The Inspectors are working across
the northern half Of the county this
week and are meeting with remarkable
cooperation. 1t Is planned to get down
into the southern end Of the county,
working westward Of Havre de Grace
to the Baltimore County line, next
week, Farmers In that section are adj
vised to try to be ready next week In
order to assist In whatever way they
can 10 speed up the work.

An interesting meeting of dairymen
was held at Highland on Tuesday night
the principal speaker being Mr.. Chas;
Il. North, who discussed Manner and
Methods Of Producing Grade A MIX.
The subject was intensely interesting
to dairymen Of that section as they
are lust about TO launch into the pro-
ducion of Grade A milk for the new
creamery at Pylesville.
Officers Of Western Maryland Dairy
were present and told how they ex-
pect TO operate their Pylesville plant
after II opens July LIST. While q reg
ular creamery charge viii be made the
premium paid for low bacteria count
will more than offset this. When the

ton Il Is easy 10 believe the Pylesyille
plant will soon have n waiting list Of
