COMPARISON OF 1933-34 AND 1934-35 SEASONS 



The results of the 1933-34 and 1934-35 testing seasons are given in Table 5. 

 The number of tested flocks was slightly less in 1934-35 than in 1933-34, but 

 increases were observed in the number of tested birds and tests. The average 

 percentage of positive tests was less for the 1934-35 season. In 1933-34, two 

 counties were without reactors and in 1934-35 three counties revealed no infection. 

 All counties had less than 1 percent positive tests, even though four counties had 

 a slight increase in the percentage of infection. Nine counties had an increase 

 in the number of tested birds. 



While the number of tested flocks during the past season was slightly less than 

 during the 1933-34 season, yet 73 flocks were tested the previous season and not 

 in 1934-35. Forty-three flock owners, who had tested for two or more consecutive 

 years, discontinued testing in 1934-35.
