' firmly committed his department
to eradication of brucellosis in
the U. S. by the end of 1975.
Recently, it was announced that
the goal was “reluctantly
dropped”, and figures were
released which show that
brucellosis has actually been
making a comeback in die past
year. The number of infected
herds has increased three per
cent since 1971.
Several major problem areas
are contributing to the present
dilemma. About 26 percent of all
the infected herds found are in
Texas. Another 37 percent of the
infected herds were found in
three states: Mississippi,
Louisiana and Oklahoma.
Another seven states: Alabama,
Arkansas, Kansas, -Georgia,
Kentucky, Florida and Tennessee
account for an additional 25
percent. Thus, 88 percent of all
the brucellosis infected herds are
found in 11 states. Of these states
only two showed any measurable
progress in eradication.
At the end of 1972 only nine
counties in the U. S. lacked any
type of brucellosis certification.
Eight of those counties had
reached modified certified status
but failed to follow through with
the program. One county, Nueces
County, Texas, has the distinc
tion of being the last U. S. county
to do anything about brucellosis.
This announcement was
recently made by Dr. Samuel B.
Guss, Extension Veterinarian at
Penn State University.

Century Plant
The name century plant for
the agave came from the mis
taken idea that the American
century plant blooms only
once in 100 years. Some kinds
flower every year and others
at longer periods, but none
blooms so rarely as once a
century.
