The results of this test are clearly shown in this quota* tion from <&'sworn affidavit by the Columbus Chamber of Commerce representative: "At the conclusion of this test the exhibit was again in- •Wted, the seals found to be intact, the counter reading showing that The Hoover had made 74,434 single strokes over the carpet.

A Communication To the Public: In- view of the statements recently made in the public predfe relative to the presence and extent of tuberculosis in the dairy herds of McHenry county, we, the undersigned McHenry county farmers, from our years of observation and experience and some of us having had our-herds subjected to the tuberculin test under federal supervision, and having followed the animals that have reacted to this test to the slaughter house and there had proven to our absolute satisfaction that these animals did have tuberculosis and that the test is reliable when administered by reliable veterinarians, do hereby publicly state that we believe that tuberculosis affects approximately fifty per cent of the dairy cattle of McHenry county, as proven by the test already n\pde in this county, that it is a serious menace to the public health and financial conditions in our county and that the only method of detecting tuberculosis in cattle i§ the proper administration of the tuberculin test. And, furthermore, in view of the fact that at a meeting held in Woodstock, January 25, resolutions were adopted contradicting these facts, we will prove by public demonstration that cattle are infected with tuberculosis and will prove the reliability of the tuberculin test, provided the citizens of McHenry county will attend such a demonstration and provide a suitable slaughtering place. We will, furthermore, have the facts presented regarding the prevalence of tuberculosis in McHenry county as proven by the tuberculin tests already conducted under the supervision of the inspector in charge of tuberculosis eradication of the state of Illinois, the U. S. department of agriculture, bureau of animal industry. Such demonstration and proof to be offered for the sole purpose of acquainting the public with the true facts that we may co-operate in improving the health and economic conditions within our county* Jacob Olbrich.
