FARMERS In MARYLAND HIT
Losing Heavily Of Their Dairy Herds
by Reason Of tuberculosis Tests

Losing Heavily OF lhelT bdilg
by Reason Of tuberculosis Tests
Farmers throughout Kent county,
MARYLAND, are losing thousands Of dol
lars as a result of the tuberculin test
Of dairy cattle being made by state
experts who are condemning hundreds
Of the finest dairy cows in the county
because of their reaction to the test,
and also because Of the consequent
loss Of their large milk supply. In
many instance every COW in the herd
il being taken for slaughter, which
means that for COW which has ben
appraised at SIS the owner receives
only $50 besides the loss Of the milk
supply which has been practically
wiped out on many Of the farms. The
difficulty now is to purchase accredlt-
ed herds to take the place Of those
being taken for slaughter, and until
the farmers can restock their losses
will be heavy, and all phases Of busl-
ness will miss the usual months milk
checks which have been the farmer
main dependence for his profits on the
farm. County Agent Derrick figures
that at the rate at which the test IS
now being made it will require two
wears to make Kent county an ac-
credited county because of the fact
that there are about 10000 head OF
dairy cattle that must be tested.

ting average Of 1000. Vance got
three singles and a double in four
times at bat. Each Of the four Gin

and the Reds were able to score
three runs in spite of their failure
to hit often. 1t made little differ

Ign won, 6 to 3.
Rallies which gave Philadelphia
three runs in both the eighth and
ninth innings couldn't overcome the
Detroit Tigers lead and the latter
won, 8 to Z.
