will attempt TO cinvlnce the people IN
many ways that this II true. and will
ask the full cooperation OF citizens
In statewide attempt 10 control
and stamp out preyentable disease in
this State. II is scarcely less than n
crime TO permit such diseases as ma

without restraint in Oklahoma. Im-
provement must come by changing
ways OF living In the hames. where

siderable size. all the people except
two agreed that pigs and their pens
should be kept az safe distance
from human habitations. These two,
however. declared that no state or

TO interfere with the comfort and the
peace OF mind OF the pig in a small
town. But this particular town is 30

will no longer be able to disregard

Of these stockyards until they have

broken out in stock held on the
farmn All the cattle affected were
destined for Immediate slaughter at
various points. No stockers or feed
ers were included among them. The
infection therefore has been laid over
trail that runs in straight easily
traced lines from city to city. The
stamping out of 1t is principally a
matter Of disinfecting all cars used
in these shipments and all yards
through which they have passed. On
the other hand when the disease first
broke out last fall it was spread over
the country by a large number of

which were distributed more or less
broadcast to the farms in many
