Grange Meeting in Rockingham
Sixty Have Supper

At the meeting Of Saxtons River
Pomona Grange with Pleasant Valley
Grange in Rockingham a substantial
supper was served to about go, and at
s o'clock Mrs Fred Morrison, the
Grange lecturer. gave a very thorough

misses under the direction OF Mrs. \.
L. Divoll.
County Agent Harvey said that the
principal lecturer of the evening would
be preceded by showing the films pre-
pared by L. G.. Lowell and W. r. Pierce,
who are opposed to the present method
of handling eradication of bovine tuber-
culosis.
DIR. Gibson. a federal veterinary, was
next introduced. He sketched the origin
of the movement to stamp out bovine
tuberculosis and said it came from the

The dairy industry in Vermont is
very important. There are S26 dairy
COWS to each 900 of the population,
and so per cent of the business comes
from the dairy. The time is surely
coming. however, when Vermont will
not be able to dispose of its dairy prod
ucts unless all cattle are subjected to
the tuberculosis test. 1t is now i'm
POSSIBLE to ship INFESTED cattle out of
the state. The Federal Bureau of An
imal Industry never has, does not now
and never viii demand that any man
have his cattle tested Vermont can
keep its INFESTED cattle in the state as
long as it desires but the south and
vast are coming to New England for
their breeding stock and if Vermont is
to get its share of the trade its cattle
must be tested. A tested COW is worth
500 more than an INFESTED. Vermont
can sell 10000 dairy cows annually, so
testing would add to the sum total of
tho annuol sale 50 100000.
Last year over Sl43,0 of federal
money came into Vermont to fight
tuberculosis. The people of AZ state
ran knock ont this appropriation II

speaker it would set the state back
