This is the Cards homecoming game and a must for them, as they seek to redeem a 14-7 upset bv the Knights last year.

Three or four other regu lars are doubtful starters at th:s time, these coupled with a pair of reserves out for a couple weeks with foot injuries will weaken the Cards considerably.

New Method Explained for Testing Cattle • State Director of Agriculture Pearle F. Finigan, in a letter to Dr. R. W. Smith, Chairman of the United States Livestock San itarv Astuv'iati/Nn** T*r-.i/Nol1/Noic* Committee, has urged the com mittee to act favorably on a new market cattle testing program in troduced into the State-Federal brucellosis eradication program. (Rules and regulations govern ing certification of areas, etc., are first adopted by the associa tion and then, upon approval by the United States Department of Agriculture, are officially incor porated into the co-operative pro gram Finigan explained that the new backtagging method, tried in Nebraska, during the past few months, would eliminate the need for rounding up all range cattle and testing them individually, a practice involv ing much work and expense and consequently unpopular with cattlemen. Under the new method a cow three years old or over, being sent to market, would be tagged on the back with a plastic identi fication tag, stuck on with adhe sive cement. The tag is coded to show the state, county, and herd from which the animal comes. On arrival at market or other desig nated point, a blood sample would be taken and sent to the state testing laboratory for analysis, with results being forwarded to disease eradication officials and the owner. The new method would have certain advantages, Fimgan said. N'o cost would be assessed to the owner. Most herds would be elim inated from on-the-ranch tests. The testing program would be continuous, but would not require testing of the entire herd every three years as now. The brucel losis control program would be moved forward greatly in all the counties of the state, whereas at present there are 34 counties where there is no organized pro gram. USDA studies have shown that the new market cattle testing program would be more efficient than the procedures presently used for initial certification in range and semi-range areas, Fin igan noted. Under the new me thod only those types of cattle not moving to market oo a regu lar basis would still be tested at the ranch.
