Illinois agatn led all states In the number of cattle herds tested for bovine tuberculosis during June, according to the monthly summary of disease eradication work, issued by federal officials at Washington, D. C. The government records show that the tuberculosis testing carried on by the Illinois state department of agriculture during June totaled 12,- 761 herds of cattle, or more than an eighth of all the herds tested in the 48 states, District of Columbia and Hawaii. The number of animal? now under supervision (n Illinois Is given as 1,223,850 or about five times as many cattle as are under supervision In the average of the states and the Illinois receiving froqj {he United States bureau of animal Industry, are gratified to note the relative progress Illinois is making, and are increasingly confident that the practical elimination of bovine tuberculosis from the breeding and dairy herds of Illinois within the next two years depends only upon continuation of the present program.

O. sign on the Illinois state fair grandstand this year, unless we grossly misunderstand the gate," Stillman J. Stanard, director of agriculture, stated recently In commenting on new bleachers being erected on the grounds. "We'll have bleachers strung along the track both ways from the new grandstand," Mr. Stanard explained. "They may lack In comfort, bnt will give the occupants a good view of what Is going forward on the race track and free attraction platform. Last year, the fact that thousands were turned away disappointed was deplorable, but unavoidable." Reviewing the phenomenal growth of the state fair attendance records during recent years, the director explained that the former frame grandstand was found too small In 1926. Plans for the one constructed last year, calling for three times as many seats, Irere then considered as sufficient seating space for several yean;' cogttauo^g Increase in the popularity of tKe fair.

The apiary inspection division of the state department of agriculture and the Illinois State Beekeepers' association recently Jointly conducted a fourday tour of central Illinois, visiting bee farms, and attending instructive sessions. The tour began at Normal and a rapid-tire program followed. In addition to numerous bee farms, they visited the university apiaries at Urbana and the experimental bee farm maintained at Springfield by the state department of agriculture. A staff of speakers made the tour, and at each ses-vion gave instructive talks on various bee-keeping and honey marketing topics. By way of diversion, bee smoking contests were held at a number of places on the Itinerary. This, the second annual Illinois bee tour, Is conducted for two purposes: to disseminate instruction relative to the industry, and to stimulate demand for 'Nature's sweetest product," according to the offlciajs sponsoring it.

Doctor Purdy will Join the state sanitary engineers who are studying conditions in the Big Muddy river in southern Illinois.

Corn prospects in Illinois improved In the last thfee weeks, a Joint report of the state and federal departments of agriculture staled recently." However, favorable corn weather has somewhat reduced prospects for spring-sown grains in several central and upper central counties. A. J. Surratt, agricultural statistician, prepared the report. It was in part as follows: "Frequent rains during the first week of the month hindered grain harvest, haying and corn cultivation work over most of the state. Excepting scattered days of excessive heat, farm work has made fairly good progress since then. Qrain harvest ranges from completed in the south to Just starting In tiie more northern counties and Is a little later than usual, due to slow growth of crops earlier In the season." The ship that brought Columbus to the western hemisphere as well aa thd one that landed our Pilgrim Fathers are reminders that America has an interest in old ocean that tradition CM never permit to lapse.
