The shipments Of cattle for Decem-

$50 brand applications during the
month OF December as against $50 ap-

DR.. Bray, the government inspect.
or. caught some cattle In an emf.
grant outfit at El Paso, which had In
some way passed the United States
inspectors at the point OF shipment,
but which were badly infested with
ticks. He refused them admission
under the instructions of the board
and the cattle were turned back to
point Of origin.
The beginning of the new year
shows the board to have lost from
its rolls some OF It's oldest and most
valued inspectors. Inspector Tucker
at Socorro, Inspector Don Johnson at
Dcming and Inspector Ballard at
Roswell have held these positions for
several years with universal satisfac-
tiOn to the cattle men and shippers.
The heavy shipments in Inspector
Stones district. with headquarters at
P0rtales. were due in a measure to
the great prairie fire. which swept
across the plains early in December
and forced several OF the owners to
move their cattle TO ranges In Okla
homa rather than risk wintering
them with the feed area so much re-
duced on the home ranges.
