Overview

Excerpt from Report of Annual Meeting: Held in Felton's Hall, Harrisburg, Penna., January 20, 1926 Continued by P. G. N iesley, County Agent, Bloomsburg, Penna. The subject assigned for discussion has been so thoroughly covered in the paper charts and maps presented by Dr. Bruner that there is some question as to what might be added of value at this time. The wonderful work that has been started and is continu ing so well is to my mind one of the greatest of co-operative plans, when we consider that the matter of testing all of the cattle in a county wit out the financial help of the Federal and State govern ment, woul be entirely impossible at this time since the cattle owners in no single township would undertake this mammoth task alone. In addition to this financial help, we have of course the benefit of the experience of the State and Federal Bureaus in handling the matter. I think it was fortunate that the basis for qualifying for the test, under the area plan, required that 90% or more of the owners indicate their desire to place their herds under the supervision. We discovered in Columbia County, when thoroughly understood, nearly all owners wanted to have the test applied. Now that the test has come to all but two of the townships in our county, we find every expression of interest and enthusiasm in the work, and the men are looking forward to their retest and to the time when their township in the county can be considered a modified accredited area. Fortunately the percentage of re actors in some of the sections included in Columbia County runs fairly low but the Whole matter is justified and kept sold to the owners on account of the fact that in nearly every township tested a few bad herds were found. In several instances the entire herd was taken and the other thing of interest with us is the fact that few of the so-called native cattle react to the test. This serves as an assurance to the owners here that it is possible to keep herds clean when they are once known to be free from the disease.
