CIRCLE PLAN

price to the sponsors in three

The most effective and quick-
est way to eliminate brucellosis
is by blood testing and slaugh-
ter of infected animals. Brucel-
losis affects the female repro-
ductive organs of cattle, hogs,
horses and a minor percent in
goats. The last state legislature

A brief explanation was made
by County Agent John F. Camp-
bell on how brucellosis affects
livestock, and the state law for
the control of the disease.
Copies of the petition were
distributed to the ranchers pres
ent and will be carried to their

It was also authorized that
the County Judge be authorized
to travel anywhere in the State
during the year 1960.

ed to audit the accounts and rec-
ords of Tax Assessor-Collector

It was ordered by the Court
that the County Judge be auth-

County fund for indigent per-
sons up to $10.00 per week per
done by state and federal veter-
inarians. Under the present law,
no legal force will be brought on
a county’s livestock owner for
not signing up. The only force
would be the economic factor
brought about by livestock buy-
ers bidding on cattle from a
county that had taken no control
measures.
Once a county secures the
proper signature sign-up for
testing, then all cattle owners
are bound by law to cooperate.
Still referring to a county that
has signed up; when testing be-
gins all cattle owners are re-
quired to provide proper facil-
ities for restraining animals in
order to secure the blood sample.
Ranchers would be required to
pen their cattle and put them in
a chute.
The law provides that in
herds of 21 animals and more,
blood testing of 20 percent is
required. This is in addition to
registered and dairy animals.
However, if the owner so de-
sires, the entire herd can be
tested. If a can has 100 cows in
three or four different pastures,
a representative number from
each pasture must be tested with
in the required 20 percent.

of a dieter. Training programs under tough Army standards help keep Guardsmen ready for
