The only solution for all these
serious troubles and distur-
Dances in the live stock industry
is for farmers and stockmen all
over the country to clearly UNI
derstand the situation in it's true
features and bearings, and to
cooperate fully with the Federal
and State authorities in their
efforts to stamp out the disease
in the only way which the ex-
perience of the world for more

ed to be safe and efficient, which
is immediate slaughter and bur-

by cleaning and disinfecting the

FEW CHINCH BUGS
NEXT YEAR
Heavy Rains and Disease Have
Solved that Problem for
Missouri.

The ranks Of the chinch bugs
been so depleted and broken up
by the heavy rains and the fun
gous disease that they will prob
ably not appear in damaging
numbers next year, according to
T. j. Talbert of the Missouri
College of Agriculture.
The field observations made
last spring in different parts of
the state showed an unusually
large number of bugs and they
indicated a most serious out
break Of the pest. Had it not
been for the unusually wet sea-
son the chinch bug might have
done a great deal more damage
to grain crops than the rains and
floods. =,
The reports of farmers and the
field observations from all parts
of the state made during August
and September show that the
chinch bugs are not numerous
enough to do any serious harm
the coming year.
Unfortunately the Hessian
fly has not suffered so much and
seems likely to cause great dam
age next year in many localities
in which one or more men sowed
wheat too early or failed to disk
or pillow under volunteer wheat.

Facts About Foot and Mouth"
Disease.

Z l. ~ 40 viz AANR 11AAe6N
and infectious Of all animal dis
eases. Even flies spread it from
farm to farm.
2. There is no known cure for
it. While under good care an
average of only about 8 to 5 per
cent of grown cattle, 80 to so per
cent Of calves, 20 per cent Of
hogs and Is per cent Of sheep die
outright from the disease, yet
when animals become affected
with it, like venereal disease or
%scrofula in human beings, it
smolders in the system and is
liable to break out again at any
time. While the number of inn
mediate deaths are comparative
ly few, yet under ordinary care
the condition of many of the
surviving animals is often de-
plorable.
3. This disease has been pre-
valent in Europe for over a CEN
fury, where the quarantine
method with military enforce
ment has generally been adopt
ed for its suppression, with the
result that it has spread all over
the continent and become per-
manent, so that it is now too
late to adopt the slaughter
method and there is no hope for
its eradication.
a. The United States has had
six epidemics of the disease prior
to the present one, in 1870, 1880,
. 1884, 1902, 1908 and 1914, all of
which were quickly stamped
out by the method of immediate
slaughter and burial of all in
fected and exposed animals and
cleaning and d~isinfecting the
premises. The United States is
the only nation that has adopted
the slaughter method from the
start, and the only one that has
ever succeeded in completely
stamping out the disease.
5. The National Dairy Herd
has sometimes been referred to
as an example Of recovery. But
that was an isolated case. It
would be impossible to establish
on any farm such a quarantine
as was done in that instance.
The cattle were completely iso-
lated, together with their herds
men, in the connected second
story of a line of great brick
buildings, with fly screens at all
windows and police and veteri-
nary guards at locked doors day
. and night, so that there was no
possible communication with the
sick cattle by either insects,
birds, animals or men, except
the veterinary directors of treat
ment who were thoroughly fumi-
gated every time they passed in
or out. Besides, the cost, which
in itself is prohibitive.
6. Not only is it an expensive
and useless undertaking to at
tempt an efficient farm quaran-
tine and cure, but in addition to
that expense, even when at
tempted under the best of such
conditions, the cost of the dis
ease, on account of loss in the
condition of the surviving ami
mails after apparent recovery, is
far greater than the loss from
death outright. and there is no
recovery Of expenses and dam
ages from either State or Nation.
Z. On the other hand, if the in
fected and exposed animals are
appraised and killed by the au-
thorities, the owner RECEIVERS
their value as sound animals to-
gether with all expenses of their
burial and disinfection of his
premises and for all loss be-
cause Of sheds, hay or other

to report at once to the authOri-
ties any rumor or news of sus-
pected infection, so that any
cases of the disease may be in
spected, appraised and buried as
quickly as possible to prevent
the infection from spreading. To
this end, a spirit of cooperation
with the authorities should be
encouraged beforehand as well
as during the presence of the
epidemic in a neighborhood.
There is urgent need of such
action as that advised above, so
that normal market conditions,
full live stock values, and re-
newed confidence in the live
stock industry may be restored
as soon as possible, which can
be done only by quickly wiping
out all traces of "Foot and
Mouth" disease in the United
States, and all obstacles should
be removed and all encourage
ment be given to that end.
The present epidemic of "Foot
and Mouth" disease is costing
the live stock producers of this
country hundreds of dollars
daily in reduced market prices
resulting from disturbed market
conditions and reduced demand.
Unless the authorities are given
proper assistance, ready co-Ope-
ration and every opportunity to
speedily exterminate the disease,
the losses directly and indirectly
resulting from it will mount to
higher figures still. There is no
more important question before
the agricultural interests of the
United States today than wheth-
er the Federal and State author
tiles shall be upheld by the far
mers, stockmen and country
bankers in their efforts to stamp
out this disease, and they GER
tainly will not receive all the CO.
operation they will need to ac-
complish their purposes unless
there is a larger and better I'M
derstanding of the situation by
farmers, dairymen and stock
raisers generally.
There are tremendous inter-
ests awaiting the outcome of
these efforts. The whole live
stock industry will decline unless
they succeed soon, and with it
will decline the market value of
corn and other crops, and of
land, while soil fertility will SUI
fer further general reduction.
This season has produced vast
quantities of rough feed all over
the country, which will be very
valuable if utilized, but which
will be wasted if not fed during
the coming winter, and besides
there will be a large amount of
frosted corn fit only for feeding
during the coming winter,
and which will be a loss
if not fed before spring. The
interference of quarantine reg
ulations with the movement of
feeder and stocker cattle and
sheep between various states,
markets and feed lots, together
with uncertainty as to spread of
Foot and Mouth" disease, and
want of confidence in future val
ues in consequence, are seriously
reducing the number of animals
going into feed lots to consume
the over-abundance of feed,
which will cause enormous losses
to farmers generally throughout
the cornbelt, while an abnormal
scarcity of meat animals ready
for market later on will be inevi-
table, unless the country is soon
relieved of the prevalence of this
scourge. Moreover, the contin-
ued presence of Foot and

glories of peace and human progress
are exemplifed here where the men
and women of the North, East, West

years will place upon them.
Work or The Congress.
The Southern Commercial Congress,
the organization that is arranging for
this meeting in Charleston, initiated
the movement in the United States for
the investigation of agricultural or
ganization in European countries. The
result was the assembling Of the Amer
lean Commission composed of sixty
eight members, representing twenty
nine states, the District of Columbia,
and four Canadian provinces, which
made an investigation of agricultural
organization in eighteen countries of

in cooperation with the United States
Commission. appointed BY President
Wilson.
The evidence secured by the COM
mission has been published by the
Congress of the United States and will
be the basis Of State and Federal leg
islation in solving the problems, in a
national way, OF rural finance, pro-
duction, distribution, and organization.
Il is doubtful whether so much valu-
able first-hand material on the sub
jects Of agricultural credit and of agri-
cultural cooperation in general has
ever before been brought together, in
any language, as in this volume Of
evidence"
Trade And Municipal Investigations.
The Congress has also conducted a
commercial expedition to Latin Amer
lea that has helped in establishing ties
of friendship and which made a prac-
tical investigation Of finance and com
merce in the interest of the extension
OF American trade. 1t later assembled
the American Commission of Munic-
ipal Executives which participated in
the International Municipal Congress
Of 1914, in London, and thereafter
made an investigation OF municipal
efficiency in European cities.
