Animal Diseases. Eratdication
Board.
At a meeting held in Toronto on
TSiursday, May 27th, the final steps
were taken in the organization of a
body to be known as the "Animal
Diseases Eradication Board," As its
name implies, this Board has for its
object the formulation and carrying
out of plans for controlling diseases
of live stock in Canada, it being the
intention to pay particular attention
at this time to tuberculosis of live
stock, a disease which contributes, to
a greater extent than is generally
recognized, to the 'spread of tuber-
culosis in human beings, besides caus-
ing an enormous economic waste of
food products by reason of the neces-
sity, for condemning, as unfit for hu-
man food, carcasses or portions of
carcasses of tuberculous animals,
The Board is composed of twelve
members, four from the live stock
associatione, four from the meat
packers, and four from the Federal
Department of Agriculture, and the
headquarters of the Board will be at
Ottawa. Co-operation with Provin-
cial Governments, railways, banks,
press and public health bodies will
be sought.
At the Toronto meeting, an Execu-
tive Committee of three members, one
from each of the 4ntgrests ree-re-
sented, was appointed to consider and
make recommendations to the full '
Board with reference to the details
of a plan of campaign for controlling
this diapase most effectively, the
broad outlines of the plan having been
agreed upon by the Board. These, tie -
tails will deal with the methods for
obtaining the necessary funds for the
work, the executive organization, the
areas to be covered; the methods by
which the work can crest be carried on
and the administration of any fund
that stay bo established for the pm -
The objects in view will involve
hearty co-operation between the
packers, the live stock men, the Fed-
eral and Provincial Departments of
Agriculture and the solid backing of
all interested in the disease from the
human as well as the live stock stand-
points.
The preliminary meetings have indi-
cated that there are good reasons le
believe this co-operation will be se-
cured. The plans are necessarily ten-
tative but a great deal of progress
has already been made, and after the
representatives of tho groups have
had an opportunity to consult the
exechtives and membership of the
various associations it is expected that
a full plan will be developed and de-
tails announced,
