eradicate tuberculosis in cattle. The Commissioner shall have full
and complete authority and responsibility in all livestock sanitary
control work. (b) To enable
the Commissioner to eradicate bovine tuberculosis effectively and
to aid him in establishing a modified accredited tuberculosis-free
area, in conformity with the rules and regulations promulgated by
the United States Animal Health Association and adopted by the
secretary of agriculture, United States Department of Agriculture,
the authority having charge of county affairs of any county in
which the state and federal governments jointly engage in a
tuberculosis eradication campaign may appropriate such sums as they
may deem adequate and necessary to aid in this work. The
Commissioner or his duly authorized agent is empowered to enter
upon any premises, barn, lot, or any other place where cattle are
kept, for the purpose of applying tests with tuberculin to
ascertain whether or not the cattle so tested are affected with
tuberculosis. The owners or keepers of such cattle shall render
such reasonable assistance as may be required to enable the
Commissioner or his agent to apply the test with accuracy and
promptness.
