OR J AMAZING BUT RARELY SUSPECTED TRUTHS ABOUT THE THINGS YOU EAT l^e y d ri^ h VccaAn b r By ALFRED W. McCANN Cattlemen, Afraid of the Telltale Na ture of the Tubereulin Test, are Con stantly Making Violent Efforts to Suppress Its I'se—OnlJ' the Educa tion of the Public to the Truth of the Situation Can Restrain the Ac tivity of These Dealers in Disease and Death. As the application of the tuberculin test by Federal and State veterinarians increased in extent, with all Its star tling disclosures concerning the wide spread prevalence of tuberculosis among the dairy herds of the entire country, cattle dealers and the owners of largo dairy herds became panic stricken. The Federal veterinarians had proved that even where the diseased cow had been "plugged" by a secret dose of tuberculin, a double dose, ad ministered under certain conditions, would be followed by a telltale re action in spite of the trackery. em ployed to conceal it. As the cattle dealers and dairymen began to realize that the tuberculin test, when administered as it should be administered, meant a complete disclosure of the conditions which they were making every effort to conceal, a systematic program was adopted for the purpose of discrediting the tuber culin test. "The test is not reliable," they de clared. This statement, brought through seemingly reliable sources to the un suspecting newspapers of the country, was followed by press dispatches de signed to create the impression upon the public mind that the tuberculin test had failed. The inhuman nature of this per nicious distortion of the truth is dis closed by the experience of every ex periment station in the United States as well as the Bureau of Animal In dustry of the United States Govern ment. The department of agriculture of Cornell University conclusively es tablished the accuracy and reliability of the tuberculin test. The first attack of the dairy men and cattle dealers upon Its reliability failed. They then declared that Inas much as few cows were diseased any how, the test was not needed. This argument was met by statistics compiled by the Federal government and "by university authorities indi cating that at least 71 per cent, of all the herds examined contained tuber cular cows. Failing in their efforts to blind the public to the prevalence of tubercu losis among milk-producing animals, the cattle men resorted to another desperate expedient. They asserted that even if cows are tubercular their milk does no harm because bovine tuberculosis is not transmissible to man. Again their efforts to suppress the truth in the interest of dollars, not concerned in public health, were met by the results of over a hundred scien tific experiments proving that bovine POTATOES HARD HIT BY "GRUBS" State Reports Show That Pest Has Become Very Busy Again Many owners of potato patches are writing to the State Department of Agriculture about destruction cf pota toes by white grubs.

In spite of these facts the propa ganda of falsehood continued. In the state of Illinois, where the revelations of the test proved' most disastrous to the owners of diseased cattle, the cattle men succeeded In in ducing the legislature to abolish it in the most high handed and unconsti tutional manner, notwithstanding the fact that June 5, 1911, the New Jersey supreme court established its legal standing by handing down the follow ing opinion: "It must be conceded that where, as in this case, the board of health makes the determination, of the existence of disease depend upon a special method of diagnosis, that method must be, if not the most reliable, as reliable as any. "The existence of disease Is neces sarily to some extent a matter of opinion or inference from established facts.' The most skilful veterinarian may err. The most reliable symptoms may be deceptive, and absolute accu racy in diagnosis cannot be looked for. "To demand It is a counsel of per fection not adapted t.o the exigencies of everyday life. Perfection of that degree Is not attained under the diagnosis of human disease, even where the physician has the advantage of a patient able to state subjective symp toms and gi\e a history of the com plaint. All that can be fairly required is that the method of diagnosis should be well recognized, thoroughly proved, and as reliable as any. 'This court finds that the tuberculin test is the most reliable method of diagnosing tuberculosis In cattle now known. "We rest this conclusion not merely upon the testimony in the case before us, but upon 'he fact that it has been proved by judicial decision in Minne sota, Louisiana, Wisconsin and Penn sylvania.

Tennessee, Washington and Wisconsin, and for some purposes by Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont." In spite of the clearly established legality of the tuberculin test, the cattle dealers and dairymen succeeded in destroying it. Less than twenty cow dealers in Chicago, controlling less, than 5,000 dairymen, living in five counties, were thus able to impose upon a stupid, if not conscienceless, legislature to the extent of depriving the 5,000,000 people of Illinois, living in 102 coun ties of that state, of the pVotection afforded by the tuberculin test. been broken up. and a croD put in. the food of these insects has been de stroyed. and, therefore, they turn to whatever Is growing in the ground and for that reason potatoes are fre quently eaten, corn is destroyed and other crops more or less damaged. The more destructive species require three years to complete the life cycle, but here are other species which need only one or two years. The beetles deposit their eggs in the ground that is cov ered with vegetation, the eggs hatch i'l a few weeks, and the young larvae feed on the dead or living vegetable matter until the approach of cold weather when they burrow deeply into the ground for the winter. In the Spring they return to near the surface and feed. It is at this time that they do the greatest dam age. In the Fall they again £o deep in to the soil for the winter to return the following Spring to feed as before, un til about late May or June. After this they become more or less inactive and finally change to pupae, and then in a few weeks to adults, when they emerge to bother us by flying in our windows at night to the lights. The adults feed upon foliage of trees, but do very little damage in this form. J One of the worst attacks In Ponnsvl j vania was In 191*. There nxs also a | considerable number of these In 1915. I There is really no way to control this j pest, except by Fall plowing, which should be done rather lato but before ! the cold weather sets in—say October 15. The rotation of crops will also help a great deal in controlling this pest. One should not plant corn, for I instance, immediately after sod, be i cause they seem to be particularly so lvere in corn.

Where a small lawn is lnfestetd j the grubs can be killed by fumigating with carbon bisulfld, using or.e to one and one-half ounces to every square j yard, putting the liquid in six or eight holes evenly distributed over this area.
