ALASKA
More frequent tuberculosis
inspection of dairy cattle in
Alaska will soon be started by
the Bureau of Animal Industry,
it was announced at the De
partment of Agriculture, June

Inspections were formerly
made every two years, and
large numbers of cattle have
been condemned on account of
tuberculosis. The last such
inspection was made by the
bureau last summer.
The Alaskan authorities, how
ever, have requested that the
inspection service be provided
every year, so as to cut down
herd losses. The bureau will
send an inspector into the ter
ritory for this purpose early
in July.
