FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
Has Gained Foothold In This Coun-
try and IL States Under Federal
Quarantine.

The outbreak of an epidemic OF
the foot and mouth disease among
cattle. sheep and swine in several
parts Of the country has tied up the
livestock business, and drastic
measures are being taken to pre-
vent the spread of this disease,
which is very contagious. The fol-
lowing statement was received from
the Nevada State Quarantine Board
regarding the situation:
'.on November 18th the Governor
by proclamation declared a quaran-
tine prohibiting the shipment of
cattle, sheep and swine, and the
movement of livestock cars into
Nevada from points east of the
eastern boundaries of Montana,
Wyoming. Colorado and New Mexi-
CO, On account of the outbreak of
foot and mouth disease.
Today. November 18th he is
sued another proclamation prohib-
iting the shipment Of such livestock
or the movement of stock cars from
points east of the eastern boundary
OF Nevada. either into the State or
passing through it. While other
livestock than cattle, sheep and
swine are not referred to in the
proclamation. the movement of stock
cars into Nevada being prohibited
will absolutely prevent all livestock
traffic OF every kind from beyond
cur eastern border Utah and Colo
rado have quarantined against live
stock from all points outside their
borders. This mornings dispatches
state that the disease has broken
out in Montana and that state was
placed under federal quarantine
yesterday NOV. 15th). as the dis
ease spreads very rapidly and is so
highly contagious. the situation is
acute and the most drastic meas
ures are needed to control it. Our
livestock men are fully aware of the
danger in the present situation and
are insisting upon the most rigid
regulations to protect our herds.
Montana makes IA states that are
now under Federal quarantine. No
permits will be issued for the en-
trance of live stock into Nevada
from eastern points until the Fed
eral authorities are certain that
they have the disease under con-
troll. This is necessary 70 prevent,
il possible, the spread of this dis
ease into Nevada herds 1t is
hoped that these drastic measures
will not be needed for long; that
the danger may soon abate and that
after a brief time we may be able
to resume gradually normal live
stock shipments.
