VOLUME XXIX NUMBER 35 NEW STATE LAW WILL AID BANGS DISEASE CONTROL LAW PROVIDES FOR COUNTY BANG’S DISEASE INSPECTION. Will Become Effective January 1, 1936; Unless Federal Program Is Continued. A law to aid in the eradication and suppression of Bang’s disease within the state, which is designed to carry on the control work. If and when the federal government ceases its present testing and indemnity operations, was passed by Oregon’s recent legislative session. The new law does not provide for state in demnities, but it does require the compulsory testing for Bang’s di sease in all counties where the dairy animals exceed the number of other cattle kept on farms. Any county may avail itself of the provisions of the law on the petition of owners of at least 60 per cent of all cattle in the county. On the oth er hand, the application of the law may be discontinued at the request of 60 per cent of the owners of cat tle in that county. The law is to take effect January 1, 1936, al though if the federal program is con tinued through 1936, the state act will become operative January 1, 1937. The law provides for a qualified Bang's disease Inspector in each county, to be appointed by the coun ty court, who must test all cattle periodically. The laboratory work is to be carried on at Oregon State college. Each animal found to be free from the disease is marked with a metal ear tag or legible tattoo mark. Those found to react to the Bang’s disease test are both earmarked and branded with a letter "B” on the left hip. No dairy animal over six months of age may be sold unless it comes from a disease-tested and free herd or has been itself tested and proved free within 60 days prior to the time of disposal. If the federal indemnity plan.is dropped, the owner of reacting cat tie may retain the animals so long as he will follow rules prescribed by the state department of agriculture for building up a disease-free herd Meanwhile, ho will not be permitted to allow such reacting animals with in six feet of any neighboring catti owners’ property line, whore disease free or susceptible cattle are kept. Sign-Up Deadline Extended. A short time ago it was announced that no Government Bang's disease tooting agreements could bo signed after April ,16th. Since the above information on the state compulsory test law has been released, it was decided that farmers would bo given another opportunity to get their cows tested under the government contract and receive indemnity for reactors. As was stated above, no indemnities will be paid when the state law becomes effective. Testing in West Umatilla county will be resumed about the latter part of May. Dr. R. A. Reeve, who was doing the work here is now working in the Pendleton area. About 3500 cows have been test ed to date. Among the larger herds that have been tested are those of Alpha Chrlstley, A. E. McFarland, Joe Kremer, Charles Lynch, W. C. Kik, J. W. Foley, R. G. Saylor, Haw ley Bean, Harry Owens, and many others that could be mentioned. Any farmers who wish to sign the government agreement, should see W. A. Sawyer, assistant county agent, as soon as possible. LARGE DELEGATION TO ATTEND STATE C. E. CONVENTION. HERMISTON.
