A report of the proceedings of the annual meeting of the Oregon dairy- meh's association held at Marshfield and Coquille recently was read by II. K. Dean. It is evident from this re port that Oregon dairymen are in favor of a state program for <1.. y cattle disease control in an effort to make the state T. B. an<j abortion ac- c - ‘ ted. In the reeomnsin lxlnns made by the dairymen and read in this report it was pointed out that Oregon dairymen will also sponsor an extensive campaign for the advertis ing of the value of dairy products.

ABORTION CONTROL IN PROJECT DAIRY HERDS TO BE STARTED SOON According to word received from the veterinary department at the Ore gon State college, dairymen in this section will have an opportunity to have their dairy herds tested for contagious abortion soon after the first of April. This work is being done by the veterinary department of the Oregon Experiment station in cooperation with the state veterinar ian’s offlee and without cost to local dairymen. Since 1921 college veterinarians have made tests on cattle around Her miston for »ntagious abortion twice each year. When the first testing was done only a few cattle were In cluded. The work was done then as an experiment In an effort to deter mine whether the disease could be controlled, and was the first work of Its kind done In Oregon. There ha9 been a gradual increase In the num ber of cows tested each year due largely to the Increased Interest of dairymen to have their cows tested. When the last test was made over E n terta ii, W ith W affle Supper. 1700 cattle in 184 herds u»d scatter ed from the Umatilla-Morrow county line to Echo, were tested.. Work which has been done on the control ot this cattle disease in the different parts of the state and other states has proved that it can be controlled. In some control tests in this state the per cent of reaction to the test has been reduced from 15 to less then 1 per cesG n two years time. This has been Scc^&pllshed only through the practice of recom mended control measures. While-the progress made In this district has not been so great the per cent of reaction has materially been reduced. Since the number of cattle being tested here has been increasing and the number tested each year has been changed one can not make a direct comparison of results of past testing. However, many herds have controlled the disease and are now clean as a result of continued effort. With most of the cattle in the district on test as is now the case dairymen here ~ the guests. Mr. and Mrs. O. O. Felthouse en tertained with a delightful waffle From Echo. Mrs. H. W. Botger of Echo was supper Sunday night. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Udey, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Pierce shopping in Hermiston Wednesday and Mr. and Mrs. M. L., Watson were afternoon. have an opportunity afforded them of making an abortion free district. An effort w lf be made to test all dairy cattle lh the district when the veterinarians are here soon after the first of April. Any dairymen who have not had their herds included on previous tests or have not had their name oh the list may make ar rangements at the assistant county agent’s offioe tw have their herds tested. Following tlfo practice established on previous fodfo dairymen will bo notified through the mail of the time his cattle will be tested. Due to the Increase in number of cattle on the list It will be necessary to make ef ficient use of time when testing and the cooperation of dafrymen by hav ing their cattle ready is requested. Recommended control measures may be secured from H. K. Dean, super intendent of the Umatilla Project Experiment station or from G. H. Jenkins, assistant ceunty agent. T ro m A rlington.
