Answers (gestions of County
and Says Reactors May
Occur Any 1 tine
Owing to the fact that a few of
our cattie owners are refusing to
cooperate in the campaign that ia on
to lest all cattle in LinnCouaty, the
County Agent has brought their ob
jections hefore the State Veterinar
ian. Dr. W. H Lytle for hia opinion.
These objections raised by the
dairymen in not wanting to cooperate
are First, why pay 16c per head to
have cattle tested when we can get
the State Veterinarian to do it for
nothing. Second, my cattle tested
ciean last year and I do notaee the
need <>f bothering again with a test
tins year.
Dr. Lvtle answers these objections
in the following letter to the county
Agent:
"In reply to questions that you
have raiM-d regarding certain object
ion* made by dairymen in your county
wi> > object to having the tuberculin
test made upon their herds largely be
cause >>f a charge of 15c per heed be
ing made, which is to cover traveling
expenses of the Federal veterinarian
who will make the test, will say while
no charge would be made by the state
Veterinarian's office if this work
was being done by this office, at thia
time I must advise you it would be
absolutely impossible for our office
to carry >»u’ this work. We have only
tw<> assistants to this office and at
the present time one veterinarian
i* working in Central Oregon on
sheep scab and the other veterinarian
is lining emergency Investigation
work, and in the meantime is teating
out isolated herds that art located
throughout the state and which need
immediate attention.
"It might be of interest to you and
the - different dairymen to know
that Co.»* and Folk Counties have
made provision for a County Dairy
Herd Inspector, who chargee tor his
services 35c per head. The testing
of dairy animals in these counties is
obligatory and so far as I know there
ha* tw-en no objectiona whatever to
th«- charge
The law was passed
through the legislature largely at the
requ- *t of the dairymen of these
two counties and I am sure they are
getting their money's worth.
"Tulterculosis is a disease that
must be continuously guarded against
and Ixx-auae it boes not appear one
year tn your herd does not necessar
ily mean that it will not break out
the next year, and because of this,
it is of course wise to test all dairy
animals once each year. The dairy
men who are to fortunate aa to not
have any reactor animals in his herd

PIE EATEH
should be glad of hia opportunity to
get this done at the small coat of 15c
per head The fact that many dairy
men of Unn C-ountv had their herds
tested last year enabled these ownei a
to make very satisfactory sal «-a of !
their animals to other communities
throughout the state who were buy
ing stosk last fall ami winter.
'The pe nt is gradually being
reach«*«! where it will l»e difficult to
sell dairy stock from districts that are '
not tuberculin tested
Inasmuch as j
your county has teste«! nearly all of 1
its dairy animals the dairymen would .
be committing a great mist ake in i
not going ahead with this work at!
thia time. Your dairymen should
remember that tuberculosis is only
to be safely guarded against by
retests
Yours very truly.
