Unwarranted xcitement.

1t has become clear that there was
unwarranted excitement over the furry
of foot and mouth" disease among
cattle in Wisconsin. 1t is we'll to han
die such matters vigorously, but un-
necessary noise doesn't help the matter
any. The fact is that the foot and
mouth disease is not native in Wiscon-
sin and is therefore easily weeded out.
1t came from other states in the i'm
portation of cattle for feeding purposes
and from the Chicago show. The fact
remains that Wisconsin is without a
peer in the health and vigor of its live
stock
