Washington Is Free OF
Tuberculin Cattle Herds

Washington has been designated
modified accredited area by the United
States department of agriculture In
recognition of its success in eradicat-
ing tuberculosis from its cattle, ac-
cording to word received by the agri-
cultural extension service at the state
college, This signifies that the state
has reduced the infection to less than
half per cent Of all It's cattle as
indicated by official tuberculin testing.
The designation became effective May
/, 1884. Washington is the fourteenth
state to win this recognition and now
Joins North Carolina, Maine, Michi-
gan, Indiana, Ohio, Idaho, North Da-
kota, Nevada, New Hampshire, Utah,
Kentucky and West Virginia in this
standing.
Cooperative tuberculosis eradication
work in Washington began in 1918
under the accredited-herd plan, which
deals with the testing of individual
herds. The so-called area plan, in
which county is the customary unit,
was taken up in the state few years
| later ana mOSC OF CIle TeCeHJ Woih lbs
been under this system
The first county to become mod1-
fed accredited area was Wahkiakum
so declared on November l. 1927. The
remaining 38 counties were accredited
at various intervals since that time
The last counties to complete the
testing were King and Yakima. In
general, the degree Of infection OF bo-
vine tuberculosis was slight but ir
some counties the disease was more
prevalent Approximately 100000 tu-
berculin tests have been applied tt
cattle in the state since work was be-
gun.
Throughout the campaign there wa
excellent cooperation among the stocl
: owners, various branches of the live
stock industry, and officials. Arrange
ments have been made to conduct tn
necessary retesting of herds in tn
, state in order that any remaining IN
. lection may be eliminated and a.
counties maintained on the modifie
accredited status.

Last Chance To Pay
Taxes Without Interest

Taxpayers who wish to save interest
on their delinquent taxes must pay
up before May 81, according to word
from the county treasurer's office.
On that date the state law, passeo
in 1893, remitting all interest on de-
linquent taxes, will pass into the dis
card. The law was passed by the state
legislature in order to give relief to
those who were unable to pay their
taxes promptly, and to avoid pling up
too much interest on the delinquent
taxes.
Under the terms of this law, no IN
terest need be paid on delinquent taxes
prior to the 1882 taxes, when paid on
or before May 81, 1884. After that date
interest will accrue at the rate of ter
per cent per year.

Cash Income
OF Farmers
Makes Cain
s4.0O0.OOO IN WHEAT BENEFITS
PAID TO WASHINGTON
GROWERS

Cash income of Washington agricul-
ture, together with that of the nation
in general, increased more than 80 per
cent during the year ending May 1,
1884, according to general summary
of the first twelve months operations
of the agricultural adjustment admin
istration, reports r. M. Turner, extern
sion economist at the state college.
Commodities showing a marked I'M
provement during this period in Wash
ington include wheat, lambs, WOOL
potatoes and apples. Wheat benenC
payments of over $4OO0000 were made
in the state.
Estimated national farm income, ex-
elusive of the value of products used
on the farm, for the period ending
May l, 1888, was $3,979, 100000. In the
year ending May l, 1884, the cash in
come is estimated at more than So
53OOOO,OOO, an increase of more than
$1,5OO,OOO,OOO OF this increase in agrl-
cultural income, rental and benefit
payments to farmers who cooperated
with the administration in adjustment
programs accounted for more IMAM IL
per cent of the increase.
AS the first year under the ADJUST
ment act closed, farmers have signed
more than 100000 contracts to re-
strict acreages under production con-
troll plans which provide benefit pay
ments. In addition, approximately 8OO,-
600 farmers are benefting from mar
keting agreements which have been
put into effect during the year. lnl-
tial steps are being taken towards adj
ditional adjustment programs. as vel
as expansion of beneficial marketing
agreements and codes of fair compe.
tition.
Although much remains to be done
a real beginning of adjustment ma:
been accomplished, the economist says
and already farm income is showing
important improvement due in part a
least to better balance Of supply WIFI
demand. Definite progress has beer
made toward parity" for farm prices
which is the object Of the adjustment
act. A year ago the ratio OF price
the farmer receives to the price he pay
was So. 1t has now advanced to 62.
