Dr. Duckworth Checking Martin County Cattle for TB, June 19, 1925

Martin County Cattle Found to be Healthy

Dr. J.V. Duckworth, who is in charge of the anti-tuberculosis campaign in Martin county, says that out of 1,100 cattle tested in the county only two have been found to contain tuberculosis germs. This is an unusual record, according to Dr. Duckworth.

About half of the cattle in the county have been tested.

Dr. Duckworth stated further that he has received most courteous treatment from every cattle owner who he has met so far. All of them have rendered all the assistance which could be asked.
