Steady progress has been maintained during the year 1929 in Bovine Tuberculosis Eradication under the county area plan as shown by the accompanying map and tabulation.
On January 1, 1925, ten of Nebraska's counties had been placed under supervision for tuberculosis eradication by the Bureau of Animal Industry. There were, in these ten counties, a quarter million cattle and a half million hogs, or 8.9 per cent and 11,4 per cent respectively,

of the total cattle and hog population of the state of Nebraska. No counties, however,' had completed the test in order to be declared Modified Accredited Tuberculosis Free Areas at that time.
     Five years later, on January 1, 1930, 47 of the counties in Nebraska were established as areas of eradication and 88 of these had been declared Modified Accredited Areas. At this time, 68 per cent of all hogs and 47.6 per cent of all cattle in Nebraska were in these areas established for eradication. Farmers in these counties owned 1,396,105 head of cattle and 8,622,735 hogs.
     Thirty-eight of these counties were accredited free areas, placing 2,623,421 hogs and 1,060,233 head of Nebraska's cattle in disease-free territory. Farmers in those counties are entitled to receive the 10 cents per hundredweight premium over market sales price paid by all packers for hogs raised in a tuberculosis-free territory. According to the best available records, packers paid farmers in the accredited areas a total of $2,098,924.66 since the work has been in progress.
     A decrease of 42 per cent is noted in the numbers of beef carcasses showing lesions of tuberculosis coming under the inspection service of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry from January 1, 1925, to December 31, 1929, at the Omaha market. Of the number of carcasses condemned during the same period there was an actual decrease of 1,120.
     For the fiscal years from July 1, 1924, to June 30, 1929, there was a decrease of 2.5 per cent in the number of swine carcasses showing lesions of tuberculosis on post-mortem inspection under federal supervision at Omaha and an actual decrease of 5,128 in the number of swine carcasses condemned.
     The above information is strikingly indicative of the benefits that have accrued thus far from the intensive cooperative campaign for the eradication of bovine tuberculosis.
