Washington, Feb. 15.--Foot and

were extended by the department of
agriculture today so as to include all
ithe territory east of the Mississippi
and north of the Tennessee in a re-
stricted area out Of which no live-
stock except for slaughter within 4S
hours, will be permitted to the south
or west
All Of the great slaughtering CEN
ters are located in the restricted ter
ritory and there is little shipping Of
live cattle out of it, but the new or
der was deemed necessary to protect
the stock producing sections from in

Important Regulations.
Two important new regulations
were added today one defining "im-
mediate slaughter" as used In exist
ing orders as within forty-eight
hours and another prohibiting the
transportation of livestock in any
part Of the United States after Feb
ruary II, except in disinfected cars.
Owing to the fact that few or no
cases of foot and mouth disease have
been found in Virginia. West Virginia,
Vermont, Maine and the District OF

Jurisdictions win be permitted under

Strict Action Required.
A statement issued tonight by the
department said
The recent discovery of few
cases where cattle, shipped from
areas where the disease had existed
carried If to previously uninfected
sections such as four counties in Kan
sas, convinced the department that no
precautions will make such shipments
absolutely safe The new measure, il
Is said, should confine the disease to
the region In which it has already
made It's appearance and in which the
work Of eradicating 1t will be pushed
as before
In this restricted territory live
stock may be moved freely to other
points within the same territory but
cannot pass beyond the limits OF the
quarantined area except for immedl-
