Ctly tbt Associated Pre**.* Raleigh, X. C., Aug. 20.4 supply of ten counties in Xortt ™ is now fully protected against tl spread ing of the great white plague, tubercu losis. the cows of these counties all hav ing been tested, released aud passed by riculture. according to a report made officials of the State Department of Ag public today by Dr. A. J. DeFosset, in spector in charge of this work. Inspec tions have been completed in three other counties, lie said, and these will be rec ommended for release this month. Fif teen other counties have made appro priations for carrying on this work in conjunction with the Agricultural De partment and North Carolina State Col lege and inspections are now going on iu nearly all of them, he added. “Our records show,** Dr. DeFosset con tinued. “that less than two per cent, of the cattle in North Carolina have tuber culosis at this time. This is iu contrast to some of the state in the north, where from 21 to 40 per cent, tuberculous is common. I could go out iu Vermont, where I was stationed previous to com ing to North Carolina, and find more cat tle infected with tuberculosis in one af ternoon than we have found here in a month's time. “North Carolina is wise to begin in time to eradicate this dreaded disease. The people have shown wisdom by want ing, the work carried on. They will prof it* by the experience of the northern states. we find tuberculous cat tle in North Carolina we can generally trace it to importations from some of the worst infected centers. For that reason those who buy cattle from other states should make sure that they are getting them from accredited herds. This will safeguard their purchases and also the cattle already on their farms.*’ Along with his praise, however. Dr. DeFosset finds something to criticise, for he says. “I am disappointed, however, to find so few. cattle on the farms in North Carolina. With its climate and ideal conditions for y-ear ‘round grazing, this State could be made a great cattle breed-1 ing state. These cattle could be used to restock those farms in the north which will have to get a new sTupply when the owners clean out their tubercular cows. From what I have seen since coming to this state to succeed Dr. Paul Vaughn. I am sure that North Carolina needs more cattle. We are trying to hake health conditions better for tiese cattle so that the herds be built up with out danger of infection by tuberculosis.** Every month for the past 15, Dr. De- Fosset said. North Carolina has led the other states of the union in the number of herds tested for tuberculosis. In .Ju ly the workers of State College and the State Federal department of agriculture tested 2.582 her/]* cmupjfbeMj „ of.. U«24li head of cattle. To date Buncombe. Ca bamiN. Cumberland. Davidson.
