Bang's Disease Incidence Low Portland, Ore., Dee. 23 P Oregon has the fourth lowest incidence-of Bang's disease in the nation, Samuel B. Foster, Inspec tor In charge of the U. S. bureau of animal husbandry, Portland, said today. Tests of 179,709 head of Oregon dairy cattle during the fiscal year 1944 revealed 2,891 reactors to the disease, which is known as undu lant fever in human beings, Fos ter related. Oregon's average is 1.6 per cent, compared with the 1 oer cent rate of North Carolina, lowest in the U. S., he said. The cattle were- chosen from 18,912 Oregon herds. Conclusions Presented Conclusions reached by Oregon and Portland authorities at the height of the recent undulant fever epidemic were that there must be 100 per cent pasteuriza tion of milk, plus compulsory ex amination of all dairy cattle. In response to a request by City Commissioner Fred L. Peterson, a proposed Portland ordinance Is being studied that would prohibit the sale of raw milk products in the city. Ways and means of mak ing it easier for all dairies send ing raw milk in bottles or cans to Portland to apply for pasteuri zation permits are also under in vestigation. Twenty-two new cases of undu lant fever in Portland were re ported recently, bringing to 213 the total number of city residents stricken with the disease this year. According to investigations made by the city health depart ment, the majority of 150 patients checked had used raw milk. Program Outlined A four-point program is pro posed by the state department of agriculture, as follows: 1. Revision of the existing Bang's control law to require com pulsory testing of all herds. 2. Compulsory pasteurization of all dairy products: milk, cream, cheese and ice cream. 3. Compulsory Inspection of herds by Inspectors accountable to the state veterinarian. 4. Amendment of present sani tary laws on dairying.
