Foot-Mouth Disease Prevents
Farmers From Moving.

Farmers living about five miles
northeast of Topeka on the Happy
Hollow road are complaining about
the condition of this road.
In the fall of 1914 this road was
graded and supposed to have been
made ina better condition. but some
of the farmers claim that it is now In
a worse condition than before.
There are three unusually low
places about four or five miles north
east of Topeka. and before the grad
ing of the road. the low places were
crossed by small bridges. Since the
grading the bridges have been re-
moved and now after a rain or snow
the water stands in these gullies sew
eral weeks at a time. In one place
there is a small lake twenty yards in
length.
Something should be done by either
the county commissioners or township
trustees as the bad condition of this
road keeps the farmers from coming
to North Topeka.

foot and mouth disease is keeping a
number of transient farmers in the
vicinity Of North Topeka from moving
to other states.

west to take up claims, but owing to
various state laws it is necessary Tor
all farmers to have the tuberculin and
CHAMBERS test made on cattle and
horses before moving them from the
state. Due to the foot and mouth dis
ease. stock cannot be moved from the
state. and as a result the farmers will
have to stay in sunny Kansas
