Tuberculosis
a Real Menace
Many Infected Cattle Found in Areas
Inspected; Authorities Commend
Manner of Handling.
There recently appeared in the
press a statement relative to the tub
erculosis eradication program as con
ducted in Nebraska that three "coun
ties which were being tested for the
first time in 1530, namely, Madison,
Nance and Platte, were found to con
tain a small number of tubercular
cattle. Madison, 103; Nance, 137;
Platte. 88."
The facts, as revealed by the state
aid federal records as to the amount
of tubercular infection found in these
three counties during 1930, are as
follows:
In Madison county, 1,960 herds
were tested. On 166 farms tubercu
lous cattle were found representing
8.4 per cent of the farms in the
county; 31,316 cattle were tested;
323 tuberculous cattle were found,
representing 1 per cent of all cattle
tested.
The same records reveal the fol
lowing results of Nance county where
1,156 herds were tested; tuberculous
cattle found on 155 farms, represent
ing 13.4 per cent of al lthe farms
in Nance county; 20,699 cattle test
ed; 285 tuberculous cattle found, rep
resenting 1.3 per cent.
In Platte County.
In Platte county the records show
that 2.358 herds were tested and on
131 of these farms tuberculous cat
tle were found, representing 5.6 per
cent of the farms in Platte county;
41,188 cattle were tested, 361 tuber
culous cattle found, representing .88
per cent of the cattle tested in the
county.
The same article carried a state
ment also about the disposition of
reactor cattle slaughtered under fed

Dr. John R. Mohler, Chief of the
United States bureau of animal in

It is unfortunate that attempts
are made from time to time to in

eradication work."
In discussing the disposition of re -
actors to the tuberculin test slaugh

New York. Feb. 21. The organ-
Th rpmrt is entitled. "Rationali-

; scrjnea the industrial struc ture of
j HllH nnf, i;,trihiition. and call-
attention to tho extent to which Ger-
!man industrialists are free to com-

from the Government.
"In the United States tho accept-
ance of a common program for con
trolling production is prohibited by
the example of a country where such
agreements are not only permissible,
but also enforceable at law."
The whole process of industrial re
organization in Germany, the board
explained, may be summed up in the
term "rationalization," which, under
the hands-off policy of the state, has
spread to all aspects of the economic I
problems involved.
"The aim of rationalization," ac-
cording to the study, "is to eliminate
that competition which
competltion which results from
fnnltv In .1 trmpn t nf i n rl i vi H 'la 1 ri-
ducers, from their miscalculations of
the market, and to coordinate the ef-
fort flrst of individual enterprises
within an industry; second, of the
different enterprises within a coun
try, and, finally, of the competing
industries in two or more countries.
"Rationalization, in its broadest
sense, aims to eliminate errors of
judgment due to faulty knowledge of
market conditions, by vesting
the
power to regulate production, fix
prices and allocate territories in a
central authority. Rationalization
represents the idea of enlightened

"Freedom of trade In G-ermany

'cartel' is the most prevalent form of
association. Cartels mav be divided

o six groups, according to their
rpose: associations for regulating
prices, associations for regulating
output, profit-pooling associations,
! :!HSf ria,ions for allocating con
tracts, selling syndicates, and Ml
nations for annortionment of fPrri-
tories.
"While the organization of cartels
may bo of a more or less temporary
nature, there are also certain other
associations of a permanent charac
ter, such as mergers and combines.
There is still one more form of com
bination known as "communities of
interest.' "

"Whether, or how soon. Germany
