There viii be a further removal OF

that within the five -mil, radius of the
Miller farm will be placed in what is
known as the modified area. The
five mile area will / laced in the

the entire county Furthermore an
effort will be made to reduce that
area from five to three miles.
The change means q great loosen

The Changes.
At present 1t is absolutely forbidden
that any shipments of cattle, sheep
and other rumenants and swine be
shipped from territory within five
miles of the Miller farm, after ter
days shipment may be made for inn
mediate slaughter after inspection. Al
present such animals may be shipped
from the other parts OF Henrico for
immediate slaughter and after nspec-
tion. afte. ten days such shipments
may be made to quarantined States
for Immediate slaughter, without in
spection.
Restrictions as to fodder are less
severe are to be lessened within ten
days In proportion.
These regulations apply to inter-
state shipments and are promulgated
by the Federal government. but the

form thereto and the removal of re-
