COUNTY AREA
TEST IN COURT
Continued from Page -


In Chisago county where the area
test has been completed the total cost
was S14,O44.4S. approximately $4,000
cattle were tested there, two complete
tests being made. If two tests should
be made in Pine, county, the cost, ac-
cording to those figures, would be
2 about $4,000 here. 1t may, however,
missioners to make levy for the en-
tire amount in one year.
e.. The attorney general has ruled that
petitioners may withdraw their names
from the petition.
Chas. E. Cotton of st. Paul, secre-
tary and executive officer of the State
Livestock Sanitary Board, who was
directed by that board to request the
attorney general to institute the ap-
propriate action in compliance with
the law, writes in a letter dated Oct.
LIST, to the editor of the Askov Amer
ican, as follows:
Loss Small to Cattle Owners.
"The testing that has been done
in the state since the first of March
has disclosed that the average price
received by the farmers for the tuber-
culous cattle in the form of indem-
nifty and the amount of salvage they
receive for the carcasseS has aver
aged more than sixty dollars. You
will thus understand that from a
practical application it would not
work a hardship on the county at this
time as the owners will receive suf-
ficient money to go into the market
and buy healthy cattle for practically
what they are receiving at the pres
ent time for tuberculous cattle.
81 am personally of the opinion that
one complete test of all the cattle
in Pine county will disclose a per-
centage of less than one per cent, and
under these circumstances the county
will be accredited without any large
appropriation on the part of the
county board.
"Aitkin county have made the ap-
preparation at their July meeting for
the testing of the cattle, and as you
know forty-three per cent Of the
taxes are delinquent in Aitkin county.
They made this appropriation with
out making an increased levy by cut
ting their levy for roads and bridges
as they were of the opinion that now
is the time for them to accredit the
county because of the low price Of
butterfat and they realize the i'm
portance to their county of getting rid
of tuberculosis in order that there
will be no question as to the future
marketing of their dairy products.
81 might also advise that Pine
county is now surrounded by accred-
tied counties in Minnesota and also
in Wisconsin, and 1 trust you under
to comply with the law and to use
its best efforts to eliminate tubercu-
losis from the cattle of the state"
The petition for the tuberculin test
of cattle under the area plan as pre-
scented to the county commissioners of
Pine county in July of this year with
the names of the petitioners, reads
as follows:
