During the 1955-56 testing season a total of 353 cliieken, turkey, and 

 pheasant flocks was tested. Among 1,178,167 samples tested, 0.08 percent 

 was found to be positive, which is a definite decrease over the percentage 

 (0.12) positive in the previous season. Six flocks revealed infection, and 

 at the close of the season all but two were classified as negative. Pullorum 

 infection was not detected in any flocks that were negative the previous 

 season. It is encouraging to note that 99. 10 percent of all birds tested are 

 in nonreacting flocks.
