The shows coming into this state this
year have to leave out all animals with
a cloven hoofson account Of the hoof
and mouth disease quariLtine. Most of
the big shows are keeping out of this
state entirely. The Sparks show that
] exhibited in Elkins Monday had to
leave their camels and several othefih-
teresting animals behind. Down at
Williamson on the Norfolk & Western
they had the State Inspector to ex-
anime the outfit and issue clean bill
of health for this state. 1t seems to
us that it was a mistake to leave the
camels out as they are said to be
specially adapted for travelling in dry
territory.
