Main Street Lehi : : Telephone No. 4 Cattle All dairy cattle in Utah County will be tested this summer for Tuberculosis, according to an an nouncement made today by S. R Boswell, County Agent. The County Extension Service is cooperating with the U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry and tne btate Department of Aericul ture in conducting this test. This program was a part of a plan to test all dairy cattle every three years. The last test was made in Utah County in 1942. Similar tests were made in 1939 and 1936. In 1942 there were 2974 herds comprising 10,132 head of cattle tested. The final reports show 40 reactors in 34 different herds. Since the last test there has been an increase in dairy cattle and this year it is expected that more than 11,000 head will be tested. The Utah County Commission ers have approved a budget for the purpose of supplying helpers lor the Veterinarians. It is expected that all the Utah County Veterinarians will help together with four men from the U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry, The work began this week in a small way in Lehi with the help of Dr. L. W. Jones and Dr. Arthur Vance. It is expected that dur ing the week of June 11 the work will go forth on a limited scale, but beginning June 18 all Veterinarians Veteri-narians will be working and they will take care of 8 schedules per day. The procedure will be as follows: fol-lows: The owners of dairy cows will be notified by letter what day the Veterinarian will be in their neighborhood. Work will begin at 7:30 a. m'. and finish at 1:00 p. m. Dairy cattle owners are expected ex-pected to keep the cattle at home until the Veterinarians have done the work and also be on hand to help. The veterinarians will return re-turn in 72 hours to the herd to make observations. , The cooperation of all owners of dairy cattle is urged to help make Utah County a better dairy county. Tuberculosis in dairy cattle can be passed on to con sumers of milk. We are anxious to be sure that every animal is tested so that all reactors can be moved from the herds.

Under the inspiring leadership of such men as General MacArthur and Admiral Nimitz, the Japanese have been dislodged dis-lodged from one position after another an-other in their ill-gotten empire. In this connection, my people and I are extremely grateful that the Philippines are now being liberated from the tyrannical rule of the enemy. "Happy as I am that my country will soon be able to live in peace again, much remains to be done before be-fore Japan is fully beaten.
