County Farm Bureau Making Tests
That Will Eradicate Few Cattle

In the past few days the task of
making T. Ti. tests of the cattle of
the county has been in progress and

ady and the cases that are found are
eradicated at once from the herd and
the animals found to be affected are
killed so -as to prevent any spread of
the T. B. among other cattle or en
danger the public.
On petition of half of the cattle
owners of the county these tests are
made of the herds, this being; one of
provisions of the old law and under
a new law enacted a petition of sixty
per cent of the cattle owners will give
a compulsory test of the cattle over
the county.

icate the further growth of the T. B
among the cattle.

REDUCTION IN AUTO-
MOEILE LICENSE FEES
The enactment of the new law re
ducing the auto license tax from $10
to $S will make a material differ
ence in the amount of fees realized
by Cass county from the licenses, it
is staled at the court house. Last
year there were 5,000 autos licensed
at a total revenue oi $50,000. while
this year with the same number be
ing licensed there will be $40,000
realized in revenues.
The enactment of a gasoline tax
on the auto owners has led the leg
islature to give the owners a two
dollar reduction in their license fee
as it is estimated that the gasoline
tax will bring in some $9,000,000 in
the six-year good roads program in
the state.
The state aid roads will receive SO
per tent of the gas tax money in
their maintenance work and it is ex
pected that this will in turn relieve

0x Teams
An ox team plodding along the road
to Plattsmouth these days among the
many speeding automobiles would be a
strange sight, for ox teams as a means of
locomotion are as out of date as the dodo
bird.
Poor livestock is also becoming out
of date because it has been proven un
profitable. The up-to-date farmer today plans
with the officers of the First National
Bank for better livestock and larger profits
just as he rides in an automobile instead
of behind a yoke of oxen.
