To Test Cattle
In Piscataquis Co.
For Classification
As Accredited Area

In order that Piscataquis county
may be classified as the first ac-
| credited area in Maine, free from
cattle diseases, H. M. Tucker, chief
| for the division of animal industry
of the State department of agricul-
ture, and DR.. J. B. Reidy, in charge
of the bovine testing work in the
State, have completed arrangements
for the complete examination and
the testing of cattle in that county
during he period of the cattle quar-
anime which will begin September 1,
in accordance with the order recent
ly issued by Commissioner Frank P.
Washburn of the Maine department
of Agriculture.
The testing work will be carried
on by four cooperative veterinarians.
two representing the Federal Gov
ernment, and two representing the
State: DR.. F. L. Libby of Richmond,
DR.. d. X. Eastman of Bangor; DR.. G.
r. Caldwell of Portland, and Dr. F.
L. Ryan Of Dexter. 1t is expected
that the work will take about two
months.
Any county to be classified as "ac-
credited" must have been protected
by quarantine and must show not
more than one-half of one per cent
of bovine infection. Piscataquis has
been selected as the first county in
Maine in which an endeavor will be
made for classification as "accred-
tied" because there was only one
per cent of bovine infection found
there last year. Piscataquis, Han
cock and Kennebec showing the
smallest per centage of bovine tuber-
culosis in the State. 1t is anticipated
thatJwith the rigid quarantine, Pisca-
taquis may be brought under the
"one-half of one per cent" provision.
Piscataquis is one of the largest cat
tie areas in Maine with a total of
$500 head not including the calves.
During the period of the quaran-
tine, according to the law passed by
the last Legislature. no cattle of any
kind except beef animals and veals
for immediate slaughter, may be
brought into the county unless they
have passed a tuberculin test ap-
proved by the division of animal in
dustry of the State department of
agriculture within one year, or are
held in strict quarantine until such
test is made at the expense of the
owner.
Cattle owners are axious to get
Into an accredited area and secure
the advantages obtained. When a
county becomes accredited the fact
