Alaska Has But Few Diseased Livestock

As a result or meetings held in the valley last weekend, calf hood vaccination will be given free of charge to those livestock owners who cooperate ln the Brucellosis program being con ducted in Alaska, stated Jim Wilson, commissioner of agrlcul- ture.
 Meeting in the valley last week with Wilson, Dr. Fred Honsinger, and valley dairymen, Dr. A. K. Kuttler, head of the National Brucellosis program, explained the federal program of Brucel- Losis eradication. Alaska has only one-half of one percent average diseased animals, as compared with the national average of 2.2 percent, indicating that dairy farmers in Alaska are much bet ter off compared to their State side cousins. We hope to declare an Alaska Brucellosis-and TB- free area by midsummer, Will son said this week.
 Immunizations will be given free of charge to those owners who cooperate in slaughtering reactors, Wilson said. Indemnity payments of $25 per head from the federal government can be matched by a like amount from the territory, he added. In the valley there are very few react ors, he stated Possibly four or five animals are involved. Farm CTS attending the meeting indi- cated they will cooperate 100 percent in the program. Farms where reactors are not immedi- ately slaughtered, animals will be branded with a "B' on their jaw as permanent mark and livestock will be quarantined to those farms.
