Testing Program Major Factor
In Cleaning Up BrueeIIosis

DR.. Robert A. Rice, federal
veterinarian in charge of the
Cambridge area, was in Caldwell
Wednesday evening, Sept. IS for
a meeting Of the Noble county
Dairy and Beef Service Coop.
President George Lawrence pre-
sided at the meeting.
DR.. Rice reported that area
certification for Brucellosis is
rapidly approaching for Noble
county. Between now and the
time when certification becomes
effective every bovine animal
in Noble county, other than
steers and calves under six
months of age, must be accounted
for, either by a milk ring test
or a blood test, according to
Floyd Henderson, county agent.
The milk ring tests and blood
tests conducted so far in 1857
all count towards the achieve
ment of this objective. These
tests account for 719 herds con-
tanning approximately 10000
cattle. This leaves, approximately
5000 cattle to be accounted for
by some sort of test.
Any family having one cow
or more is considered a herd in
his program and must be ac-
counted for by a test.
This program before was
always on a completely volun-
tary basis. However since July
"a, the Brucellosis testing pro-
gram has been mandatory for all
cattle in Ohio.
Agent Henderson stated the
testing program conducted in
Noble county since 1850 has

voters ballots have been deliv-

tribution.
In BatesVille precinct, the
electorate will be asked to renew
an existing levy of five mills
for the purpose Of paying the
monthly electric bills for the
street lights. This is actually a
reduction of two mills since the
previous levy was for seven
mills.
In the Beaver local school dis
trict, the voters will be asked
to approval a levy which will be
a renewal of two mills and an
increase of two mills for the pur-
pose of current expense.
In the Center local school dis
trict, an additional levy of two
mills will be submitted to the
voters of this district for the
purpose of current expense.
Stock local school district
voters will be asked to approve
an additional tax levy in the
amount of five mills for the pur-
pose of current expense.
The final tax levy will be at
the Elk local school district
which will be renewal of five
mills, also for the purpose OF
current expense.

made great progress towards a
complete cleanup of disease in
the dairy herds. Therefore the
current phase of the program is
primarily concerned with the
testing of beef herds.
There may also be some
dairy herds which for some
reason were not a. 'ounted for
under the previous testing pro.
grnm. As mentioned before all
herds rrust be included.
This testing program is to be
done at government expense for
all herds that have not received
prior test.
1t is planned to begin work on
this program about the middle
CT October.
Complete cooperation on the
part of all cattle owners will
assure that Noble county will
be one Of the first Is counties
in OH to be certified Brucel-
losiS free.
