Henning announced today. Counties that bring the certi fied total to 45 out of the State’s 67 counties are Erie, Snyder and Warren. Each has achieved highest recognition in the Common wealth’s 34-year battle against the most bothersome of all cat tle diseases—certification from the state and federal depart ments of agriculture. Secretary Henning expressed renewed hope that the entire State will be certified as free of brucellosis or Bang’s disease by early 1958. “We are receiving excellent cooperation from herd owners and veterinarians in cattle test ing and m calfhood vaccination,” Henning declared. To become officially certified as brucellosis-free, incidence of the disease within a county must be reduced to less than 5 per cent of all herds and 1 per cent of all dairy and beef breeding cattle.

An outstanding control record was achieved in Erie County, De partment records show. When the first county-wide test was completed m 1954 more than 20 per cent of the herds and 5.4 per cent of the cattle were in fected with brucellsois. This has been reduced to 2 3 per cent of the present 2,362 herds and .36 of 1 per cent of the 31,229 cattle participating in" the certification test. In Snyder County the first complete test early this year showed 11.3 per oent of herds and 3.56 per cent of cattle in fected. It is now down to .98 of 1 per cent of the 1,012 herds and .15 of 1 per cent of the 9,474 cattle in the eounty. Initial tests in Warren Coun ty showed 19 per cent of herds and 6.3 per cent of cattle infect ed. The latest test shows only 3.4 of the 1,038 herds and .53 of 1 per cent of the 15,436 cattle in fected. *V * aSfe.*fc_ it, R. S. Weaver Stevens, Pa. I. H. Brubaker Lititz. P».
