RANKS
HIGH IN TESTS
OF CATTLE

LEESBURC. va. Nov. 1s. All
cattle in Loudcun county have
been tested for tuberculosis. this
county now being listed as q
modified accredited area. &C
cording to statement from DR.,
r. =. Brookbank. state veteri-
marian.
Included In the tests were 1880
herds. comprising 1922 cattle
out Of which number 40 reacted,
indicating the presence OF tuber-
culosiS. The percentage on the
test Just completed is considered
very low. Few, If any, tubercu.
slous cattle, states DR.. Brook
bank, could now be found in
Loudoun county.
The county board Of super.
visors has fully co-operated in the
work which has increased live
stock values here thousands Of
dollars. Farmers Of this section
have been afforded material re
lief when it is considered that
from ] to rs per cent has been
added to the value of each COW.
The demand for Loudoun county
cattle has become far greater
than the supply at much better
prices than could have been OBJ
tanned otherwise: Consumers also
have the. assurance that they are
not using products from tuber
cu1ous cattle. and this is com
fort and protection that could
be brought about only through
the tuberculin test.
The modified accredited area
regulations prohibit the importa
ton Of cattle r.or dairy or breed
/. ing purposes int the county
unless they have first been tuber
culin tested and passed.
