STRAY DOGS RUIN I.
SHEEP INDUSTRY
Farmers Forming Lobby to OBJ
tain Dog Legislation From
General Assembly.

Declaring that the uncurbed stray
dog has been the ruin of the sheep
| raising industry in Virginia. farmers
of the State are banding together in
the organization of a lobby as power
full as that behind the lime grinding
bill In the last General Assembly, which
has in view the enactment OF statute
regulating dogs. a muzzling law is
! rot to be strictly insisted upon, it is
understood. but the farmers will at
least demand that the same regulations
now on cattle andolive stock be placed
on dogs.
| While 1t is not thought that the State
department OF Health will father a dog
muzZling bill before this session of the
Legislature, 1t is known that such a
bill will he introduced by member OF
the House. and as the departments
views on the subject have often been
publicly expressed. 1T Is taken for
granted that the influence of the health
authorities will be swung into line be-
hind it. Commissioner Williams. how
ever. is not optimistic over .the pros
poets OF having a muzzling law passed,
and will. it is thought, be glad to sup
port any bill aimed at the regulation.
OF the cur breed.
Farmers Form Lobby.
The Southern Planter. chiefly respon-
sible for the "insidious lobby" that
enacted the me-grinding bill in 1912.
is binding the farmers together in the
interest OF the doS-regulation bill, and
Is conducting an active campaign for
the rousing Of sentiment In favor OF
such legislative action. According to
many of the letters written to this
magazine. most agricultural sections OF
the State are overrun by a half-starved
pack Of mongrels, belonging usually to
the floating negro population OF the
district which is death and destruction
TO the dreams OF the sheep-raiser. This
feature of the matter. rather than the
old familiar story OF the danger from
hydrophobia, is being made the basis
of the farmers lobby. and will prob
ably arouse more attention in the Leg
islature because of it's freshness.
While the farmers have not lined up
behind any particular bill. many strin-
gent measures are being advocated in
the letters to the Southern Planter.
Chief among these are provisions for a
heavy dog tax to be levied by the
State, all unlicensed dogs to be killed
on sight by an officer appointed Tor
that specific purpose, making the owner
Legally liable for all injury done by
his dog. and practically insuring the
determination of the stray CANNES. The
! idea appears to have the\hearty sup
port OF the farmers.
