Gentlemen: — I beg to submit lierewith my report on the work of the 

 Division of Animal Industry for the month of September, 1919: 



ANIMAL QUARANTINE STATION. 



At the ;il)()ve station two large and four small pens liave been rebuilt, 

 and the station is in good shape. The work became necessasry as a 

 great number of horses and mules arrived here during the month and 

 have been kept the requisite time at the station. Most of these animals 

 were army horses and mules and taxed the station's capacity. The 

 total number of animals reached nearly 250 head. 



We have also during the month planted more than 500 young trees 

 for shade purpose. 



TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL. 



No testing lias been done this month, as the time was taken u]> in 

 slaughtering 85 head of the reacting cattle^ all of which were found 

 on post mortem examination ^o be affected with tuberculosis. 



No word has beeen received from Wiashington in regard to the cooper- 

 ation with the Federal Bureau of Animal " Industry in tuberculosis 

 eradication. 



The various questions which have arisen as to the interpretation of 

 the Federal cooperative regulations have been taken up with the 

 Attorney General, who still has them under consideration. 



Respectfully submitted.
