Brucellosis Planning Meetings Very
Important, Reminds F of A Fieldman
(By J. Carl
Dates for the Brucellosis In-
formation meetings have been an-
nounced by the County Agricul-
tural Office. There either has been
or will be an advertisement in your
local weekly stating the times and
places of these meetings. We hope
you will make a point of attend-
ing one. .
Most of us remember the first
time ,our herds were tested for
T. B. and many farmers suffered
severe loss. I would like to point
out some of the differences in the
two situations.
First a farmer can have a herd
infected with T.B. and not notice
any appreciable loss of income.
In case of Brucellosis there is a
very definite loss of income if
the herd becomes infected.
Second, if animals were condem-
ned in the T.B. test a percentage
went to the tank and there was
risk e# serious financial loss. In
the brucellosis test the meat value
is not. lost thus in the great maj-
ority—of cases the condemnation
paid will more than take care of
Hemingway)
any loss of income suffered.
Thirdly, in what little exper-
ience I have had I would say that
the danger to human health from
undulant fever is much greater
than from T.B. contracted from
milk.
Ido not wish to give the im-
pression that this will be a wond-
erful money making opportunity
for the farmer. Any farmer who
has only one reactor will have to
clean his stable and the condem-
nation payment will not be suf-
ficient to pay for this.
Finally the percentage of cat-
tle condemned is much smaller
than in the case of T.B. We are
taking a risk in this plan but it
is a calculated risk and in a short
time will be justified.
I think you will enjoy the farm
forum TV January 27. The topic
is "The Farmer Answers". A pan-
el of farm experts has been chos-
en and a studio audience of urban
people is being brought in to ask
the questions. Sounds interesting
doesn't it?

for a confident father
The youngster with the broom is making a clean path for the
curling stone. Maybe he doesn't realize it yet, but his father
is guiding him through life on a path as direct and as smooth.,
Life insurance is a way to meet the future and a way to save.,
•By insuring his son now, this father is encouraging thrift,
building an attitude of mind.
Many people who plan their life insurance programme through
The Mutual Life of Canada, take out policies
at low cost on the lives of their children: policies the children
take over when they start earning. It's a good idea. Worth discussing
with your Mutual Life of Canada representative -- soon.
