I07Ua Leads Cattle Tests.

IOWA dairy farmers make no bones about q
when they want to show where they stand.
Take the question of the tuberculin test for
cattle. Considerable opposition to the test has
been fomented in some sections of the State of
late, but the answer of the dairy farmers to the
agitation was record that stands alone in the
campaign of eradication of bovine tuberculosis.
OF the 1274913 tests carried by the United
States in February Iowa conducted 223 no, or
nearly one-fifth.
Not satisfied with this showing, the dairy
farmers listed 100000 more cattle for tests, and
only the limitation of the testing personnel has
kept this huge number from being passed on
by the animal health experts.
Minnesota, Illinois and Wisconsin also made
excellent showings In the II years that the
campaign has been pushed LAS counties in
the United States have reduced their bovine
tuberculosis to less than half of 1 per cent OF
the dairy population of the counties.
