Bang’s Meeting A meeting of the executive of Matsqui Bang’s Free Area As- sociation was held last week at the home of L, W. Falk. The names. of several new directors were added to the executive to help in the systematic vaccina- tion of calves in this area. A visiting dairyman from the United States, whose calves have | been vaccinated regularly for some time, informs us that it | has proved to be 100 percent ef- fective in its control of Bang’sin his herd. Redwater Continues Redwater still continues to be costly to the dairymen of the highland. Recently a foundation cow in one herd died of this dis- ease after having completed her fifth consecutive record of over 400 pounds of butterfat. An ex- ceptionally fine cow of a neigh- bor also shows signs of the dis- ease, but in spite of the ailment is completing a record of over 600 pounds. Helping Hand Emil Anderson, president of Matsqui CTA, has in addition to his farm work, been assisting in the construction of the new home of Matt. Anderson on Sumas Prairie.
