"You deserve the worst punishment

a hint of relenting in her voice. At

Washington, Jan. 2o.--North Dakota
has the opportunity Of a life time ! to
eradicate the cattle scab on the ranges
in the western part Of the state. "a.
4 Prompt action on the part Of Gov
ernor White will secure the co-opera-
tion Of Secretary Wilson Of the depart
jnent Of agriculture and the dreaded
cattle disease will be wiped out ef-
iectually and permanently by the gov
ernrnent without the expense of d cent
to the state or the cattlenleii.
Recently congress passed measure
appropriating $4,000 for work by the
department of agriculture One-half OF
this amount is applied to the destruc-
.tion of the boil weevil which is ravag-
ing the cotton fields Of the south and
already Secretary Wilson has hall
al hundred scientists en- route to that
territory. s...
The other half Of this sum is to. be
devoted to the quarantine and treat
ment Of cattle afflicted with contagious
diseases. q. 3.s. ....g

starys iilson te discuss She eatI lie seal
situation iii North DAKOTA.
The secretary announced that he iac
received frequent complaints and re.
ports Of the conditions west of the Mis-.
souri, and announced that the depart
rnent has ample fnnds TO fight the dis
case and was we'll equipped with com
petent men.
q He stated that it was not the Gus
tom OF the department to undertake
such work in any state withou re-
quest from the proper officials, unless
the situation became SO serious that
prompt action was necessary.
The secretary announced that if Coy
.ernor White Of North Dakota would
ask the aid Of the department that with
IN twenty days twenty 10 forty experts
would be sent to the state. They will
investigate the conditions and locate

the most injected districts. They will
then designate certain places for dip
ping tanks to which@the cattlemen3 can
drive the animals for treatment. u T.,
The entire work and the expense OF
the tanks and treatment will; be under
taken by the government. The state
will not expend4 a cent, unless certain
cattlenen become refractory and show
a disposition to violate prescribed
quarantine rules i'll which case the state
will be asked to furnish such force as
will be necessary to compel d COM
pliance with the regulations OF the or
ficials. eaE 7s s
This is. an opportunity that seldom
comes to the stockrlen in the west,
and no doubt Governor White will be
prompt to see, its advantages and act
at once. 4 s {. .a K 1
In states further south the .cattleiaen
are bearing the expense themselves,
and the secretary understands that he
North Dakota officials have also under
taken the work on a small scale.
There is one thing that Secretary
Wilson will positively insist upon
that all the work be done by men under

Briefly the disease Of cattle scab Is
caused by a parasite which iii warmer
weather and in warmer climates con-
fines itself to- the hair Of the animal
and does comparatively little damage.
IN colder sections of the country and
during the winter the parasites burrow

underneath the skin and into the meat
and do immense damage.
This is the time OF the year to dis
cover the disease as it is frequently
hard to determine in the summer when
the parasites are only in the hair. .
The secretary indicates that by
prompt action now the cattle of North
Dakota can be treated this spring, and
then. again by July or August and that
by the time the shipping season begins
the state will have clear bill Of
health and the animals will be in the
best possible condition. Delay now
may prevent the cattle being ready for
shipment this fall and cause heavy
losses to the stock raisers of the state.
:. From what information is obtainable
here, the cattle scab was brought into
North Dakota by Montana herds that
were infected and grazed ON the ranges.
The cattle were shipped to- eastern
markets and stockfnen frequently used
the same cars in shipping back year
5Hrlgs for, the ranges. In this way they
became infected till it is now claimed
that the disease is prevalent over al
most the entire western part of the
state. I. 4 = = {,

50 his entailed heavy losses. 81
IL f1fe government fakes the matter
up all cars will be under official super
vision and will have TO be treated after
each shipment.
s There is only one possible objection
to5 the government taking the matter
up. A few cattlemen in the state may
think it will give the business a black
eye. This, however, is a false view.
The men in all eastern markets already
know of the prevalence Of the seab.
There are government inspectors at
each market TO detect it. II would be
immeasurably better to have the gov
=ernrnerlt take up the matter, thorough
" clean the ranges, give the cattlemen
an official o. k. and place the business
on a proper and profitable basis.
A letter from Governor White to
Secretary Wilson will do the business
without cents expense to the state.
