Many Flocks Diseased, Tubercul n
Tests Show-Poultry fiocks in various
localities of the state, are under VIC
ious attack by tuberculosis. Recent
tests conducted by Dr.. w. A. Billings,
veterinarian with the agricultural ex-
tension service of the university, indiz
cate that many poultry growers must
take losses.
Working in cooperation with the
county agent and local veterinarians,
DIR. Billings recently put on a practi-
cal demonstration in Pipestone county
of the tuberculin test in chickens. Four
representative fiocks were selected
for the demonstration. The results
indicated says DR.. Billings, that the
f1ocks of the county are seriously
menaced by tuberculosis.
The tuberculin test as applied to
chickens is very similar to the intra-
dermal test for tuberculosis in cattle.
The Pipestone county demonstration
was given to show the efficiency of the
test and its practical value as factor
in eradicating the disease from flock.
1t should be made by qualified veter-
marian. When properly applied, the
tuberculin test is an important adjunct
to the general program of sanitation,
says DR.. Billings.
Demonstrations like the one in
Popestone county are calculated to
open the eyes of poultrymen to the
danger confronting their flocks. SINH
lar work will be- conducted in other
counties where tuberculosis is causing
losses.

tion,s and story of "How | Made My
Crop of Cor" all figure in the fin
al footings of the corn club contest.
About 400 Minnesota boys and half a
dozen girls took part in corn work this
year, according to T. A. Erickson, of
