operation extended his department by
the forest service. was the statement
made by Warden Jones when seen
today. Il cannot speak too highly of
the way in which the representatives
of the department have worked with
my office said Warden Jones. mot
only have they readily given us as
sistance when asked but they have
often volunteered to do 50 greatly to
our advantage. In fact they have gone
out of the way to do so. The result is
that the game laws in this state are
being enforced not only by the de-

has been lost This disease is con-
tagious." said State Veterinarian Bodle

the disease is blackleg for all Of the
descriptions given out indicate that is
the case. Up to the present time DR.
Seabury has not made report to this
department as to what he found in
that section" Frank ]. Merrill, sheriff
of Franklin county, wrote State BAG
teriologist Laubaugh, who forwarded
the communication to State Veterinar-
ian Bodle, in which he says a calamity
has befallen the cattle in that section
and that accompanied by Drs. Nelson

Agent Morrison, they are making an
investigation. In one instance he says
a stock owner vaccinated with as
much serum as he had on hand a num-

them Then he used an old compound
for vaccinating, asafoetida and salt

sure signs of blackleg, it is said and
this is reported on animals in the
Franklin county section. 1t was re-
ported through this column several
days ago that the disease had broken
out in Franklin county.
