FARM BUREAU UEETING ..
TO BE HELD SATURDAY
LlLL PLAN F°B VBER TESTING
OF TUBERCULAR COWS—IM-PORTANT
MEETING.
STATE MEWS BRIEFS
The monthly meeting of fhe Guil-
Iford Farm bureau will be 'Held In
[the farmers' room at the county
[courthouse Saturday, beginning at 2
[p. m. This will be a very important
'meeting and a large attendance is
urged.
Several counties In the state have
made appropriations t« -meet those
of the state and national govern-ment
in paying men to make free
tests for tuberculosis of every cow
in their c .unties. The state anil' na-tional
governments have been co-operatin
c to make these tests free
and as Gullford county Is not noV
co-operating with them they have
withdrawn their men from the
1 county and the stockmen and dairy-men
are compelled to pay for the
tests.
When the men working for the
state and national government found
an animal with tuberculosis and it
was necessary to slaughter It an In-demnity
was paid the owner. Now
it is necessary to pa> ror the test
and in addition nothing is received
for an animal when it is slaughtered.
Jin addition, under the state and gov-ernment
testing, an animal could be
Ishipped into any state in the union
I without extra test or cost.
A committee from ine Farm bu-
I reau will go before the county coni-
Iniissibnere at their next regular
I meeting and ask th«:i: TO co-operate
with the state and national govern-ments
so that the advantages under
I the former .plan may be again se-
I curedi That co-trperation would
| ]>ring about again the free test tug,
and payment for the cattle in cas«
it is found necessary to slaughter
them. The matter is so very,Impor-tant
that all are- urged;to be present
■at Saturday's meeting, even at some
sacrifice of time.
Some idea of the disadvantage o'
having to make the tests at Indi-vidual
expense may be gotten when
1t is stated that it takes T2 hours tc
complete it a mil the expense will
amount to from $6 to 115. Then
in case of slaughter, me animal i
a total loss. In addition, the men-
1 ace of untested animals to the health
I of people is great. It is stated tha'
125 per cent of the children contract-ling
tuberculosis do so from drink
ling milk from tubercular cows.

IRISH SITUATION GOING
FROM BAD TO WORSE
London, March £2.—The situation
on the border between Ulster and
South Ireland Is going from bad to
worse, and is such that some trifling
Incident may draw tho rival forces
into a conflict which will shatter ail
prospects of peace in Ireland, says
the Dublin correspondent of the
Times.
"The tragic irony of the situa-tion,"
he adds, "consists In the fact
that the vast majority of Irishmen
of all parties deplore the danger, bu*.
seem unable to avert it. Each sidV
daily takes some measure of de-fense
which it regards as legitimate
but^which produces prompt retalia-tion
from the other side, with th>
result that political paeslons are in-tensified
and the pleacings of com-mon
sense fall to find hearing."
