B. tested herds, thereby making it necessary for milk dealers to go to distant points to obtain this necessary supply of milk to supply the Chicago market is disclosed in ^figures released today from the office k>f 'the county veterinarian. The figures disclose that during the month of December 178 herds were tested, totaling 5240 cows, with only •24 reactors. 167 herds were found -with elean records- The clean herds totaled 4881 cows. The 178 herds test- <flj£, totaled 5240 cows. ,"rn< Real Evidence Jthe best evidence to combat the lories which appeared in the Chicago -press is the fact that on January 1, 1933, out of 2427 inspected herds in -the county only 34 herds were found infected. Only 64 reactors^ were imported in those 34 herds. The number of cows in the 2427 herds totals 65,- $97, representing the number of cows in McHenry county on that date. The report of January first shows that out of the 2427 herds, the total number of herds in the county, only •64*reactors were found and condenfned. This is a small percentage out of <H5,897 cows, the total number of cows in the 2427 herds. A story of this report would look much better in the Chicago press than the story which the Pure Milk Association members took exception tco at their recent district meeting and which they condemned in a resolution. The resolution was presented by Hep. Thomas A. Bolger of McHenry .-at the meeting of the Pure Milk Association held at the Miller theater. ^The above report applies to all herds In the county, not those supplying milk direct to the Chicago market alone, but all the herds as well. The -work has been done through the office of Dr. C. P. Draper, county veterinarian. Proud of Farmers •McHenry county farmers have compiled with the law. It is, not only unfair, but an injustice for a Chicago newspaper to even indicate that much of the milk produced in Northern llHnois is unsafe and unfit for consumption because it does not come from T.
