Powers, Jr. from Dr C. M. Stevens, of the Pennsyl vania Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Animal Industry. The townships which have been au thorized for an initial area test are: Westtown, Sadsbury, Upper Oxford, East Brandywine, and Pocopson. This makes a total of thirteen Chester County Town ships testing on the Area Plan for Brucellosis. It is expecxed that local veterinarians will be as signed to do this work in the near future. Cattle owners will be advised when the testing work will be done on their individual farms. These townships have qualified for an Area Brucellosis test as a result of the work of Township Brucellosis Committees in each of these townships. Local com mittees have contacted all cat tle owners in their respective townships. At least 90 per cent of the cattle owners in a township must be in favor of the program to enable the Bureau of Animal Industry to authorize the test. A chess player, if any good, must be given credit for being able to think.
