 the flocks free of the disease and to establish additional clean flocks through 

 closely supervised testing and supervised replacements from known free flocks.

 employing unreliable testing methods, indiscriminate buying of stock and failure 

 to observe effective eradication and preventive measures, all lead to failure in 

 the eradication of pullorum disease. Massachusetts poultrymen cannot afford 

 to lose what has been gained through 14 years of persistent testing in eradicating 

 the disease from their flocks.
