J H Rigdon, a longtime opponent of tuberculosis testing in cattle, responds to a May farm article by arguing that Black Hawk County farmers would have faced large losses and that testing saved nothing. He calculates potential profits from cows and hens and suggests public health gains were overstated while packers benefited from untested cattle.

In Orange Township and Black Hawk County fields, early corn appears but much plowing and seedbed work remain. Warm rain is urged to quicken growth of grasses and grains, with farmers noting a cold spring and delayed development.

Vouchers worth 1503.48 dollars for cattle reactors tested under the Iowa bovine tuberculosis program may stay unpaid in Black Hawk County. An injunction by Judge H. B. Boies bars payment from the TB fund pending a Supreme Court ruling on Peveritt and Reuter challenges. 13 herds hold indemnities including a Cedar Falls partnership at 373.03 and a Waterloo-area partnership at 329.55. It is unclear when funds will be released as the court case progresses, with May or September hearings possible and an extended wait for an opinion.
