WIN Ask $4,000 : Year From State
Of Iowa to Check tho Epi-
demIc Of Disease
Now on.
ONE FIFTH OF ALL
our state Furnishes Twenty Percent
Of all the. Pork Which Is
Consumed In This
Country.
ONE FIFTH OF ALL

Iowa farmers are stirred up about
hog cholera. Aroused by their
enormous losses. they are getting
ready to go to the legislature this win
ter with demand for at least $4,000
year to check this epidemic.
That sum would make it possible
for the state veterinarian to fight the
disease to standstill, and then put
IT to rout. Yet because the legislature
has so far denied reasonable appro-
priation, hogs ae. dying by the hum
dreds OF thousands Director w. j.
Kennedy, OF the extension department
at Iowa State college, estimates that
this years loss will reach million
hogs, worth not less than $12,0o0,00O
as pork. to say nothing of other mil
lions Of value as breeding stock and
for feeding with steers.
Iowa produces one-fifth OF all the
hogs in the United States says Mr..
Kennedy, yet it is behind its neigh
Dor states in fighting this enormous
loss. Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Nebraska, California
and other states with much less at
stake, are giving from $4,000 to $780,
900 year to manufacture serum and
distribute 1t atecost. They are con-
trolling the epidemic and they will in
due time stamp it out. Here we are
giving our state veterinarian meag-
err s5,000-not enough to establish a
plant and pay one mans salary. He
can't begin to meet the situation; his
hands are tied because of lack OF
funds.
I'VE need s25,000 year at least to
fight this S12,O00.000 loss. Iowa must
arrange for the manufacture of serum
and its distribution at cost. There is
no question about the value of serum
That has been demonstrated again
and again. If State Veterinarian Glib
son had been given the money to man.
ufacture enough serum cholera would
have been checked in every county in
the state long ago and stamped out.
The loss would have been limited to
a few thousands of hogs instead of a
million.
AT the college and experiment sta
ton we are getting scores of letters
daily asking where serum can be
obtained. We must answer that it
cannot be bought except from private
manufacturers, who demand three
times as much for their product as the
state could sell it for, even then the
buyer isn't sure; that the commercial
serum is good. Much worthless stuff
is sold for good money. 1t costs the
farmer his dollars and his hogs, both.
There are also fraudulent preventa-
tives and cures of other kinds which
are absolutely no good. There is only
enc sound way to fight hog cholera
and that is through state aid and the
Iowa farmer isn't getting it. He has
only this alternative: he may buy bad
serum or let his hogs die. He ought
TO insist upon getting what is fair.
His interests alone are not at stake.
The state of Iowa can't lose $4,000
600 or more in hogs without suffering"

 it. the necessary funds may be raised by popular subscription.
 As a result of the Dog Tail and Torras erevasses New Orleans has but one line of railroad track west and this is threat sned with severance by the waters from the Hymelia crevasse. However, the Southern Pacific Railroad company, which has the one remaining western track out of this city, issued a statement tonight in which it was announced that through traffic over the west line would not be interrupted. After a thorough investiga- ton into conditions, it was stated that engineers of the road did not expect the flood waters to reach the tracks before five days from now and that the over flow would not eneroach upon the road bed except perhaps to a very small ex- tent and would in no way interfere with the regular operation of trains
 The question of closing the Hymelia Icrevasse had not been fully settled to- might though preliminary details for its attempted accomplishment, should such Ia course be determined upon, were per |fected.
 From Col. C. McD. Townsend, chair |man of the Mississippi river commission, la telegram was received at the offices |of Capt c. 0.
