CAR-LOT RATE SQUARBLE.
J. W. Robson, of FL Dorado, Kansas
president of the Kansas Live Stock asso-
citation, and Of the Improved Stock
Breeders association Of Kansas. is in
Kansas City attending a conference with
railroad officials regarding the recent
rate conference at Topeka The agree
ment reached at Topeka, Mr.. Robson
says, can be construed two or three ways
according to who is doing the cOnstru-
ing, and ne will try to see that it is con
strued" in the interest of the shippers.
Mr. Robson said he would be at the
meeting entirely of his own accord, and
not under instructions from the Live
Stock associations committee. Mr.. Rob-
the charges Of selling out" which were
made in an interview in the ToDeka
State Journal recently, further than to
say that he believed the reputation Of
the members of the committee was we'll

BLACKLEG VACCINE.
The question as to whether the depart
ment of agriculture will continue the dis
tribution of blackleg vaccine, which is
troubling Kansas cattlemen not a lit
tie, all started over the story that was
circulated to the effect that certain man
ufacturers would try TO stop the free dis
tribution by the government. 1t is pre-
dicted by those best posted that the de-
partment will continue its work and that
cattlemen of Kansas can feel at ease in
regard to this mater. Letters have been
pouring in for several weeks upon Kan
sas congressman and senators from cat
tlemen, it is said. They have all re-
quested the delegation to work for the
continuance of the distribution. All the
members OF the delegation heartily favor
this policy, and have so advised their |
Mr. Long, Mr.. Miller and |
Mr.. Reeder, representing the geat cattle |
districts of Kansas, have been especially |
interested in this mater; so has Senator |
Baker and all the others. The distribu- |
ton is shown to have been of material |
benefit in decreasing the loss of stock |
by this disease, and the Kansas congress- |
men and senators recognize this fact.
