plan is simple. The federal office
will send the necessary veterinarians
here to do the work and they will
hire local cowboys to handle the cat-

no steers, and need only test 10 per

where it is very necessary to eradi-
cate TB from our herds before ship-
ments can be moved. Especially is

heart and would mean instant death.
