Debate on Compulsory Bovine Tuberculosis Testing in Delaware County
In Manchester Delaware county a meeting presided by Senator George S. Banta weighed compulsory testing for bovine tuberculosis ahead of the November 2 election. Farmers argued testing could miss diseased cattle or seem experimental, while supporters cited cases where tests revealed disease not visible otherwise and warned of herd losses if testing is avoided. Dr T A Moye and federal inspector Dr Barger explained test benefits and funds, stressing testing helps control outbreaks and is not coercive.
