Pierre s. ID. Aug. s.-In conformity
to the attitude or defiance featured by
the graduates Veterinarians at a meet
ing recently held in Mitchell, the tpdi-
cations are that few OF the. regular
practitioners will apply for designa-
ions as deputies under the new v
stock law. At the examination held
by the board yesterday there were only
three applicants.
Under the provisions OF the new law
all veterinarians, or those prRcticing
such profession, must take the board
examination, unless they have been In
practice in the state for q period OF
rive years previous to the adoption OF
the new law. It Is assumed that many
of the veterinary probationary In the
state are legalized under the five-yeaF
provision and that this is n reason
Tor the light showing az the exarnina-
kion.
On the other. hand It is also evident

OF the graduate veterinarians intend

rated In the resolutions adopted at
their recent meeting. They contend
that the restrictions In this state are
not strong enough 70 conform TO the
