| DAIRY council.
JesSup is a recognized authority
on dairying and has one of the
most successful dairy businesses in
the country. He knows the prob
lens dairymen must meet and will
describe how he conquered many
of the perplexing problems which
complicate the dairy business.
Green has visited dairy areas all
over the state and has observed the
methods used in successful dairies.
He was scheduled to tell dairymen
how to cash in on the present de-
mand for dairy products and put
their dairieS on permanent paying
basis.
An innovation in the l941 dairy
day celebration will be the displays
of prize dairy stock Of the young
men and women in the All clubs
and the Future Farmers of Amer
lea.
Another innovation this year will
be the commercial displays of dairy
machinery and equipment arranged
by the business establishments Of
the whole valley. Statesmen will be
on hand to demonstrate the advan-
tageS of the newest and most ap-
proved equipment yet devised for
dairying. These displays were ex-
pected to provide a field of great
interest and help to dairymen in
terested in improving their plants
Free dairy lunches will be served
at noon to adults and to children
accompanying their parents. The
luncheon will, of course, feature
dairy products.
Dairy day celebrations, held once
year with the site of the celebra-
ton alternating among the various
communities, were planned 25 years
ago because of the Importance of
dalrying in Imperial Valley. With
TWO great metropolitan areas with
thousands of consumers of dairy
products within easy distance. I'M
perial Valley is ideally situated
to become the greatest dairy CEN
ter IN the state. With Los Angeles
200 miles away and San Diego little
over 100 miles away, hackers of the
dairy celebration say, it is small
wonder so much attention is paid
to development and improvement
OF The dairy industry.

F|y-Prevention on
Diaries Advocated

Emphasis upon fly-preverition was
urged this week by Imperial county
health authorities, with particularly
regard to eliminating fly breeding
places on dairy ranches.
The fly menace is worse this year
because of unseaSonai rains dur
ing the winter months Dairymen
were urged to eliminate all such
breeding places as manure piles and
to, of course, spray around milk
tanks and keep a fan over them.
Spraying COWS before tney are wash
ed also keeps back flies.

|. v. Finishes Fourth Year
As an Area Free Of r.

On July 10, 1884 Imperial county dairymen decided tC
rid their herds of tuberculosis and since that date have
sacrificed II 437 infected in their cleanup campaign
As result of this strenuous campaign carried with
the help of federal state and county officials Imperial
county became modified accredited March 1897
and has been re-accredited since Sept l. 1889
This award represents the most coveted one a dairy
attain and that all dairy cattle the area

Imperial Valley press., 1941-05-22

March 81 and April 5 this year
Seven herds were tested 296 cattle
were tested. There was one infected
herd and 10 reactors The last re-
test was made between May IL and
IT, Eight herds were tested. A total
Of 804 cattle were tested with one
herd infected and one reactor found.
Since Imperial county became a
tuberculosis free area" DR.. John C.
Pace, county veterinarian said, the
dairymen have been fortunate be-
cause their herds are subject to
few diseases. The reward earned
by the slaughter of infected COWS
means Imperial county is tops as
a dairy section.
Because of the sunshine and alb
sence of concentrated feeding
(crowding large numbers of cattle
in small areas we have no mastitis
in this county. We have some trou-
BILE with bangs disease and consider
able trouble with anaplasmosis.
"Anaplasmosis is parasite in the
blood stream. 1t is transmitted by
the bites of fleas and ear ticks anc
because dairymen fail to sterilize
surgical instruments after working
on each animal The tick and
fleas should be eliminated as a
kindness to Sthe suffering animals
and as a means of stamping out
this disease"
He said that farmers were paid
by the government for the cattle
slaughtered in the tuberculosis Grad
ication campaign.

Re-test after re-test had been
made by the bureau of animal in
dustry of the state and federal de-
partments of agriculture. This un-
ceasing vigilance assures users of
Imperial Valley milk that the fluid
came from COWS that do not have
tuberculosis.
In 1884 a total of 1,245 herds were
tested, representing 39,462 cattle. A
total of 773 herds were infected
and the testers found 9,l54 animals
which reacted to tuberculosis tests.
In 1885 the testers had OPS herds
or 32,8l8 cattle tested. They found 429
infected herds and i 100 reactors.
In 1886 there were 2,ll7 herds and
66,863 cattle with 311 infected herds

Naval Reservists May
Serve Longer Than Year

| Naval ReServiSts who are being
called to active duty, it was learned
at the Navy Department last week,
have been given no assurance that
their duty will only be for a period
of one year of training, as has been
indicated for the land forces. They
may be restored to their inactive
status in a year or it may be five
years, and that period cannot be
fixed by any one at this time. They
are to serve during the current
emergency
That emergency, it was explained
may be continuing one. That is.
even if hoStilities should cease, it
still might be deemed to be part
of the emergeny to keep the fleet
active and in a high state of eff
| cheney Just as guarantee against
sudden attack.
On the other hand, it was indi-
Gated that in the case of some of
the enlisted men they may be re-
turned individually to civilian status,
but not to inactive duty in less
than year, or even in two or three
| years, if the emergency is still ex-
istent. In this class would be men
whose enlistmentS expire. The
Naval Reserve Act Of 1888 permits
the Navy to keep on duty. during
| the duration of an emergency, every
enlisted man, even though his en-
listment of three years had expired.
However, it was said at the present
time it is not the policy of the
Navy Department to retain in the
service any Reservists whose enlist
ment has expired.
In the case of officers. it was
said, they are commissioned to
serve at the pleasure of the Presi-
dent-they have no definite period
of service, and they might be kept
on Indefinitely.
While it is likely that any officer
who has a valid reason might be
restored to the inactive list at his
own request. there is little likeli-
hood that they might expect, as a
group, to be relieved of active duty
upon completion of a year of service.
Such a year of service. backed by
their training in the Reserve, would
only serve to make them more val
liable to the fleet, it was pointed out
