More than half of the counties In the
United States are now practically free
of bovine tuberculosis, according to a
map Issued by the United States De

July 1. 1933. of eradication work In

This work, begun In 1017 by the de
partment In co-operation with the vs
rious states, has reduced the Infection
to a minimum In 1.32« counties, or 53
per cent of the total In the United
States.
Eleven states have been officially
designated as modified accredited
areas, signifying that tuberculosis
among cattle has been reduced to 0.5
per cent or less of the cattle popula

Maine, Michigan. Indiana. Wisconsin
Ohio. Idaho. North Dakota. Nevada
New Hampshire, and Utah. The last
two states qualified for accreditation
on July 1. 1933. Several others. It Is
expected, will qualify for similar rec
