Five Chester
Townships in
Brucellosis Test
Five additional’ townships in
Chester County have recently
been authorized for Brucellosis
testing of cattle on the Area
Plan, according to an announce
ment received by County Agent
Robert A. 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.

Livestock Auction
$75 Million Yearly
Livestock auctions, scattered
throughout Pennsylvania, ara
rapidly becoming an important
fixture, with sales of animate
amounting to over 75 million dol
lars annually. Dr C E. Trotter,
in a recent study at Penn State,
reveals that such sales more than
doubled in the past 10 years
through the auctions.
Dr. Trotter, writing in the cur
rent issue of “Science for the
Farmer,” the quarterly from the
College of Agriculture at Penn
State, said sales at the 61 licens
ed auctions involve animate from
farms within 30 miles of the sales
room. He says that about 70 per
cent of the I*A million animate
sold in the State pass through an
auction.
• Dr. Trotter’s study revealed
that sales averaged 400 to 1500
animals put on the auction block.
