Und,pped Cattle Can't be Shipped.

The eighteen counties comprising the
quarantine cattle district of South Da-
kota are up against hard proposition.
The state board after due consideration,
quarantined a certain district and issued
instructions that all cattle within such
district should be dipped.
Cattle owners and stock growers in
many parts of the district objected to
this order and refused TO dip. Beadle
county stockmen pooled their interests
and took the matter in courts, and Judge
Whiting of the circuit decided in favor
of the cattle owners as against the state
board and his opinion designated as the
"No Itch-No Dip" law was received d
with general approval throughout the
quarantined district. But the Federal
government was yet to be heard from
and its officers are now in the district
and refuse to allow any cattle to be ship
ped from the district quarantined withou.
dipping certificates. So Writings de-
cision mo Itch-No Dip" has been set
aside by the Federal government by
their decree of No Dip-No Ship"
In plain language the situation in this
county, it being part Of the quarantin-
ed district, is, that the Federal inspec-
tors, backed by Washington, will allow
no cattle to be shipped from this coun-
ty unless the owners can show that the
cattle have been dipped tw;ce according
! to the order of the state board.
The only way ont, the quickest way,
as well as the best way, is to dip your
cattle, comply with the requirements
and get out from under the quarantine.
