THE SCIO TRIBUNE VOL XXV NO. 4«. 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.
