tined, and can not be retested with
in less than so days from the date
Of the original test.
Once an area is put into this
modified-accredited classification no
cattle can be brought in unless from
an accredited herd or after having
passed satisfactory tuberculin
'test, except than under certain con
ditions cattle may be brought in
for slaughter or for feeding and
grazing.
When an area is designated by
the cooperating state and federal
authorities as a modified daccredited
area it will remain so classified for
three years, providing there is no
indication, through animals slaught-
cred or in other ways, that the per
centage, of tuberculosis does not ex-
ceed one-half of one per cent, at
any time.
Retesting Provided
If it is found that one per cent
or more Of the cattle in an area
are found to react, then all cattle
must be retested; if the infection
is between ne-half of one per cent,
then only the infected herds must
be retested, and when their per
centage of reactors is reduced be
low one-half of one per cent the
area may be classed as a modified
accredited area.
The first list of counties to be
announced by the Chief of the
Bureau of Animal Industry as being
modified-accredited areas is as
follows: Indiana: Dearborn; Michi-
gan; HilIsdale, Charlevois, Antrim,
Emmet; North Carolina: Scotland,
Rowan, Pender, New Hanover,
Davis, Davidson, Cumberland, Ca
barrus, Buncombe, Forsythe; Ten
nessee: Bradley, Marshall. Tests
have shown all these counties to
have less than one-half of one per
cent of tuberculosis.
