tary board, held in the office of Commits
sioner of Agriculture J. A. Wilkinson
Saturday DR.. c. A. Cary, state veteEin-
arian and secretary of the board, made
the statement that the live stock condi-
tons are more satisfactory at this time
than for many years. The tick eradica-
ton Investigations have had much to do
with this in the case of the cattle. and the
low ebb of CHAMBERS is a testimonial of
the rigid inspections that are now being
made.

Prof. d. T. Gray of the Polytechnic fac
ulty, the third member of the board, was
present 1t was shown in the reports,
extending from January last to Septem-
Der 10, that there had been first inspec-
tons on the tick work on S057 premises
and 103,0l5 cattle. These seven counties
are now included in the tick work. Mont

provides that no animals shall be allowed
to run at large In stock law districts.

been allowed, but a bill was passed at the
recent extra session which is intended to
break it up. There are many who will
not take note of this. and DIR. Cary fears
that they will not make preparation to
pasture and house animals and that they
may be lost as a result
