TO PREVENT

County Agriculturist Tells
How to Prevent Spread
of Disease,

AS far as reports TO this office

is a little brighter at this time
in the Boise Valley than it has
been for some weeks. With near

ed for the purpose of preventing
and controlling the disease, sus-
pected cases are heing reported
much more promptly than FORM
erlv. and growing sentiment
against the man who will at
tempt to conceal losses or sick
ness among his hogs to escape
quarantine is in evidence.

turned to Parma last Monday
morning from two weeks trip
to eastern and southeastern Ida
no, having accompanied the
Idaho irrigation and drainage
commission, of which he is a
member. on a tour of inspection
to seven OF the larger Carey Act
projects of those sections of the
state. A greater portion OF the
time of the commission was ta-
ken up in Investigating condi
tions and interviewing settlers
OF those projects with a view OF
gathering information upon
which to base recommendations
for the relief OF the bona fide
settler upon such projects as
where some form of relief is
needed. While the duties OF the
commission, so far as Carey act
lands are concerned, are largely
recommendatory, the state land
board and subsequent legisla
lures will rely largely upon suct
recommendations as the com
mission may see fit to make.
