STATE HOUSE
Meeting of Council Tuesday ~ at NJ

work 75,415 cattle were tested OF
which number S33 were found to be
tuberculous, or a percentage of lilo
of infection. During the previous
year 64,366 cattle were tested for
tuberculosis and 500 were found to be
tubercular or 1.27 percent.
A comparison shows that bovine
tuberculosis was reduced sixteenth
hundredths of one percent during
the past year, when more cattle were
tested and less disease found.
Maine has larger percent OF Its
cattle tested than any other state in
the union and has less tuberculosis
in it's live s.. ok than any other state
in the eastern section Of the coun-
try. This is due to the consistent
work continued without interruption
since it started in 1917.

COUNTY AG'T j. Il. SHRIVER
TO LEAVE HERE NOV.

County Agriculture Agent j. l..
Shriver has accepted a similar posi-
tion for Clark county, and will move
to Springfield about Nov. /. For
same time the county board there
has been after Mr.. Shriver to accept
the position there, which has been
vacant for couple of months. Mr..
Shriver's change is decided pro-
motion. Had it not been, he would
not think of making the change,
since he expresses himself as being
well pleased with the manner in
which his work has been received in
Morgan county, and with the treat
ment accorded him in general. He
considers the people here with whom
he has worked, as above that of the
average of counties. Mr.. Shriver
came here about three years ago,
coming from Fairfield county, where
he had been assistant county agent.
His resignation comes as sur
prise here. Outside of his official
duties, he and his wife have entered
into the social and church activities,
and have made many friends who
will be sorry to have them leave. AS
yet there is no one in sight to take
his place, however the farm bureau
office will continue, but il will mean
effort on the part of farmers and
farm organizations to keep the work
going here. All the present projects
under way in the county will con-
tinue until completed, even though
successor to Mr.. Shriver is not Sc
lected soon.
