RELEASE IL
COUNTIES
Mercer Expects to Raise the
Quarantine by July /.

There are IL counties in the
southwestern part of the state I'M
der quarantine because of scabbies
and mango. They are the last of
long list and j. H. Mercer, state
livestock sanitary commissioner.
stated yesterday that the quaran-
tine would be raised by the first of
July. Mr.. Mercer had just return
ed from Washington. d. c., where
he took the matter up with the
federal department. Mercer laid
his plan before the chief of the
bureau of animal husbandry and it
met with favor.
These counties are about as
free from scabbies and mango as
many other sections of the state, !"
said Mr.. Mercer, and there is
really no good reason why they
should remain under quarantine.
| can handle the few infected herds
there the same as / handle them
in other sections. My idea is to
simply quarantine the infected
herd instead of the whole county
in which the herd is located. The
federal department has agreed to
scatter six inspectors over the
state to assist the state inspectors
in keeping out disease and locat-
ing it when it gets in. OF course,
when the quarantine is raised it will
be necessary to make rigid rules
regarding the bringing in of cat
tie from Colorado and Oklahoma.
Those two states have not made as
determined a fight to eradicate
disease from the cattle as this state
has and their cattle are not in as
good shape"
The counties now under 0uaran-
tine are Finney, Kearney, Hamil-
ton, Stanton, Grant, Haskell, Nor
ton, Stevens, Seward, Meade,
and Clark. The quarantine has
been removed from all of the
northwestern counties. Up to last
December many counties in that
section were under quarantine. -
