against the spread of hog cholera, the
| losses that will result from this dis
ease throughout the nation will be in
estimable during the next few years,
is the opinion of members of the state
! agricultural commission. The best
centralized action to be had would be

ernment would play the leading part
the commissioners aver, and they
have written to several national fig
ures, including the two United States
senators from Ohio, asking their aid
in national movement to eradicate
the disease. Figures prepared by the
commission show that the cholera
among swine is now caussRg loss of
! approximately $50,000,000 in the
United States every year, and that the
| tendency is to increase rather than di.
! minish, owing to the fact that the
several states are compelled to fight
; the inroads of the hog enemy prac.
! tically alone.

Of their depositors. The interlockiDg
directorate system he believes to con.
