Farmers Against Test
The meeting at Amelia the even
ing of March 13, called because of
notices sent out from the state ag
ricultural college that this county
was in for a tuberculin test, was
largely attended., cattle raisers
from a radius of miles around com
ing early and showing a marked
interest. Several petitions were
handed around, and signed by
everybody, showing a unanimous
sentiment against the test at this
time. Jack Widman acted as chaii'
mali and questions and discussions
came from all querters of the hall.
Those circulating the petitions re
ported 125 signatures. Under the
statute, as intrpreted by those act
ive in opposing the test, a majority
of cattle owners or those owning
60 per cent of the cattle of a
county in Nebraska must ask for
tuberculin test before such work
can be started. The letter, accom
panied by a circular of which 175,
000 have been printed at no small
cost to the state, which was sent
to the people of this community
contains no provisions—no “ifs”
nor “ands” whatever. Coming
from the agricultural college at
Lincoln it is frankly stated Holt
county has been designated for
cattle tests, a veterinarian head
quartered at O'Neill and he will
notify us when he is coming to
our premises. The sentiments of
those at the Amelia meeting may
be summarized as follows:
The proposed test in this county
is not in compliance with the
statute; cattle are thin after a
winter of shortage of feed and are
in no condition for any kind of a
test; cream going to market is
pastuerized before being made into
butter and beef is government in
spected on the markets; both beef
and butter are imported from many
countries and no one knows any
thing about the cattle from which
it comes being tested; it is another
move to bring on still more.en
croachments on the liberty of Ne
braska farmers to manage their
own affairs; further unnecessary
and uncalled for expense which tax
payers in the long run have to pay.
At 9 o’clock the meeting adjourned.

Following are a number of lim
ericks and quatrians written by
the English X class:
There was a young dancer named
Bill,
Whose dancing made my feet chill.
He stepped on my toes and then on
my nose,
But to someone he might be a
thrill.
There was a young pupil named
Faye
Who had such a wonderful way
Of writing such exquisite notes,
Over which each green Freshman
gloats.
But to her dismay,
The teacher will pray
That to her desk the notes will
float.
There was a young scholar named
Wayne
That went buggy and also insane.
This is the end of this verse
’Cause they took him away in a
hearse.
I sat at my desk sad eyed
When the teacher came along and
sighed—
“Why don’t you go to working and
quit your shirking?”
She said, “I was titched in the
head.”
