NO REACTORS DISCOVERED
DURING CATTLE RE-TEST
344 Herds in Garrett County are
now on Accredited List

No additional reactors were discov-
cred IN the 16 herds of cattle given
the tuberculin re-test last week by
DR.. G. E. Poe, government vetcrinar-
ian. The purpose of the re-teet, ac-
cording to J. L. McGlone, county
agent, was to see if any cattle which
had been eXpo-ed to the reactors on
the original test, had contracted the
disease.
The outcome cf the re-tast shows
that at the present time there are 344
herds of cattle in this county which
have been accredited and marked o.
X. Last spring total of 3,246 dairy
cows were given the tuberculin test
and only q were found to be afflicted
with the disease.
Since that time County Agent Nc
Clone has received 1874 new re3rests
from all parts of the county for the
test next spring. "Plans are being
made to have Garrett courty an ac-
credited county by next year." Mr..
McGlone said, "and as more requests
come in each day, by the time we are
ready to begin work there should be
enough new herds listed to keep US
busy for some time ard have all the
county accredited"
The reactors in the test last spling
were slaughtered and the barns hous-
ing them disinfected, and the re-test
last week was a precautionary meas
ure against a possible spread of the
disease.
