thousand dollars to two other Idaho
towns. There a few people had been
giving especial attention to the poul

here? This climate reduces poultry

top prices. If carload lots could be
arranged for, a poultry warehouse
would be built at Arco. thus facilita-
ting the marketing of fowls. Let us

biggest yet. It is a business yielding
large returns on the capital invested.

State Veterinarian White held a
conference at Pocatello Monday
with DR.. Murray in charge Of the Utai
division of the department Of animal
industry of the department of agri.
culture relative to the prevalence OF
sheep scabbies in Idaho At the con-
ference we're the inspectors from the
seven southeastern counties who will
have charge Of the sheep inspection
in this section. The matter of the
prevention Of this disease was dis
:ussed and the inspectors ordered to
thoroughly inspect all sheep and to
follow them as far onto the ranges as
possible In order that the diseased
ones may be quarantined.
The great part Of the sheep which
re diseased in the southeastern part
Of the state come from Utah where
they have been wintered. They are
driven through the southeastern coun.
ties to the ranges where they come in
contact with Idaho sheep and spread
The disease. An inspection Of the
sheep Of the state during the past two
weeks has revealed very few cases Of
the disease. but In the fall and the
late summer Idaho sheep must be
carefully watched on account Of be.
ing in contact with the rangers from
Utah. The government Is to take a
hand in the prevention Of the disease
and it is possible an order will be en-
tered preventing the interstate driv-
ing Of diseased sheep.

Haight and Shepherd voted against
