ject," said DR.. John J. Black, speak |
ing on behalf of the Delaware Col |
lege committee, sis to bring to the |
of the lawmakers the sub
ject of epidemic cattle diseases and |
the need Of some prevention or re-
medal legislation. When the recent
OF anthrax occurred, it
should have been the province and
duty of some qualified State official
to have every affected animal killed
and the carcass burned and the owner
should have been remunerated for
its loss. Only by such measures can
we be prepared to stamp out such
diseases and prevent them from get
Ting a foothold in Delaware. We
wish to make next Monday an oc-
,asion when everybody interested

himself invited to join US at New

will be present and take an active
interest in the nrOoepdin0s
