Excerpt from Third Annual Report of the Commissioner of Animal Industry, 1914: For the Year Ending November 30, 1914 In accordance with the provisions of section 4, chapter 608, Acts Of 1912, which act is entitled An Act to abolish the 'cattle Bureau Of the State._ Board Of Agriculture, and to create a Department of Animal Industry, I have 'the honor to present to the General Court the third annual report Of the work accomplished by this department for the fiscal year end ing nov. 30, 1914. The Department Of Animal Industry has in its life Of less than three years grown to substantial proportions, and, from the viewpoints Of completeness Of organization and the loyalty and all-round efficiency of its field and Office staffs, is regarded by those who have had experience and association with similar departments in other States, and are thereby competent to judge, to have reached an enviable standard Of excellence. To the staff of agents above referred to there has during the past year been added two men, Dr. Edward A. Cahill and Dr. William H. Shannon, Whose qualifications and fitness for special work cause them to rank among the best. Dr. Edward A. Cahill of Lowell, formerly associated with the Live Stock Sani tary Board Of Pennsylvania, is, in my opinion, an especially valuable man, because his previous training in laboratory and field work. In connection with hog-cholera control in Pennsyl vania has fitted him to engage in that branch of work for this department. Dr. William H. Shannon Of Boston, a graduate of the veterinary department of the University of Pennsylvania, although the youngest man in term Of service, is displaying a highly enviable degree of energy and interest in the work, and gives great promise of becoming an extremely valuable man for the department.
