RUBBER BOOTS

Are you interested in boots, if you are
have something new this year that is
kota and many of the middle west states
as we'll as from Texas and Missouri and
it was resolved that a strong delegation
of stockmen and influential people should
be appointed to wait upon Gov. White
at once.
This committee should ask the gov
ernor to establish a quarantine, by proc.
lamation, say June first, against the i'm
portation of cattle from Montana, South
Dakota, Minnesota and all outside states
and territories and Canada, which would
mean that any person desiring to ship
outside cattle into North Dakota would
first have to have a clean bill of health
from the state where loaded and in add.
ton would have to dip once on entering
this state. 1t was also resolved that the
stockmen should organize Immediately
and commence the work of the eradica-
ton of scabies.
E. H. johnson, live stock agent of the
Northern Pacific. gave assurances that
the company would place a dipping vat
at the Montana line and another at
Fargo.
DR.. Hickox has made application to
Secretary Wilson for IS special federal
inspectors to come into this field at once,
and Dr.. Van Els will send a number of
expert men from the agricultural college
to look after the mixing of dips.
The following committees were ap-
pointed:
Stark-Dan Manning, A. H. Arnett,
A. N. Jefferies, w. L. Richards, A. Hill
lizard, J. w. Goodall, L. A. Simpson, H.

Oliver-J.F F. Keibe,t, J. E. Scho6eld,
J. D. Albers, Chas- Whitmes and J.

Mercer-Otto Schafer, J. E. Stevens
and H. c. Day.
The committee, accompanied by Drs.
Hickox and Van Els, several district vet.
erinarians and E. H. Johnson, went to
Bismarck on Wedn esday.
DR.. Van Es is preparing a special
bulletin on the disease of scabies which
will be ready for distribution in a short
time. The bulletin will give sectional
views of a dipping vat, approximate
cost, etc. He believes that the galvan-
lied iron vats manufactured by c. A.
Newberry, Alliance, Neb., will be the
most satisfactory, cost and everything
considered. He thinks a 62-foot vat
can be laid down for a little less than
$500. However the forthcoming bulletin
will give detailed information.
An important bit of information was
given to stockmen by DR.. Hickox at the
Dickinson meeting. 1t was this: There
is no law preventing the shipment of
live stock into any state when such stock
has a good bill of health from fedeaal
officers, but any such stock coming into
a state is amendable to the laws and
regulations of the state into which it is
shipped. That is to say. if the regula-
tions of North Dakoth require that stock
from another state be dipped or enter
ing the state, it must be done, regardless
! of what bill of health the shipper or
owners of such stock may possess.
Members of the committee who re.
turned from Bismarck on Thursday say
that Gov. White will issue the quaran-
tine proclamation against outside states.
The governor also assured the committee
that the state would erect dipping watts
in the unorganized counties. The de-
tails of the work have been turned over
to DR.. Van Es. The governor will also
act upon the suggestion of Mr.. Van Els
in the matter of issuing the proclamation.
This is satisfactory to stockmen, and
Gov. White is to be commended for the
prompt and wise conclusion he has
| come to in the matter.
