Thirty-One Veterinarians And
Assistants Will Begin End
Complete Area Test.

The second complete area tubercu-
lar test of all cattle in Redwood
County will begin Monday morning,
March II. All cattle owners are re-
quested to cooperate with the veter-
inarians and assistants by having
their cattle ready for testing at the
time when they notify the cattle own
ers they will be there. This will help
speed of the work and reduce the ex-
pense to the county to the lowest min
imum possible. If one farmer fails
to cooperate in this request the vet
erinariar nd his assistant will be
late at other points on the days
trip which will cause inconvenience to
other cattle owners.
The County organization set up will
include 81 veterinarians and! 81 as
sistants who will be farmers in the
immediate vicinity where the test is
to be applied and two supervising
veterinarians and their assistants,
and a county supervisor who will be
located in the Court House at Red
