Cattle Disease Incidence Low Now in Five Oregon Counties By LTLLIE L. MADSEN Farm Editor, The Statesman, Oregon is far out ahead of many states in the nation in the brucellosis eradication program. Tuesday, Marion County stepped into line with the top counties in Oregon in the control program. As a result the official certificate was awarded the county as being a modified certified brucellosis free area. Marion is the fifth county in the state to receive the honor. Others are Clatsop, Coos, Curry and Josephine. . Presentation of f the certificate was made by Dr. K. J. Peterson of the State Department of Agri culture who warned that there j is some danger of the disease ; coming in from Eastern Oregon, wnere xne present testing -program has not proved too effi cient. There is a new bill before the legislature, which -Dr. Peterson said ' "would fit the bill much better. This provides for test ing 20 per cent of herds over 25 in number. In herds of 25 or less, 'all must; be testedV Also, all dairy cattle and all purebred breeding stock must be tested. "When this bill is enacted, and there is very little 'doUbfthat it will be passed, we can do a bet ter job of cleaning up the herds. As it is Marion County is cer tainly to be congratulated on its progress," Dr. Peterson said. In accepting the certified, Judge Rex Hartley spoke of the cooperative work it had taken, the "partnership between the farmers, the extension service, the state department of agricul ture, the veterinarians with the Dr. Peterson spoke of ' the as- s w - V8's 1 B , frr : r - i i AM: $L L" J0- 111 ' i ii uiiiii ji "tri ' s 7 - "tti V8-UHTIL YOU'VE TRIED CHEVROLET'S RE(0RD-5MASHIIiG "TURBO-FIRE 1V8"I " Most Modern , in Design Lowest in' Price ' " , 1 ! , J : , , i .

Brucellosis incident in Marion County cattle is down to one third of one per cent as a result of the test-and-slaughter program which has been carried on since 1933. Percentage of reactors at that time was 8.8. Only areas where brucellosis is less than one per cent in not more than 5 per cent of the herds, are eligible under the program for certifica tion. Reports showed that Marion County has the largest number of herds of cattle of any county in the state, but Tillamook tops Marion in actual number of cat tle.
