IMPORTANT HOG
CONFERENCE PENDING
DR.. w. A. Sullivan Goes to Boise to
Confer With State Sanitary Board
This Week.

DR.. w. A. Sullivan, of the United
States bureau of animal industry, goes
to Boise Saturday for the purpose of
comforting with the state livestock
sanitary board with a view of pre-
pairing plans for the coming year for
the work on the Twin Falls and other
tracts in this part of the state during
the coming fiscal year. The plans, af-
ter arrangement with the board will
be submitted to the state university
for approval.
Dr. l.. c. Henderson, of the bureau,
has been assigned by DR.. Sullivan to
attend the meeting of the Anti-Hog
Cholera association of Richfield Fri
day and Saturday of this week for
the purpose of giving four demonstra-
lions in the treatment of the disease
in the presence of members of the as
sociation. This organization was form
ed last February with the co-opera-
ton of DR.. Sullivan, who, although 1t
lies outside his territory, felt that 1t
was along the line of his work and
would prove, as it did prove, great
benefit to the farmers of that COM
munity, who had previously lost heav-
lily from hog cholera.
II. w Hochbaum, state agricultural
leader, and Professor E. J. Fjelsted, OF
the university extension department
will accompany DR.. Henderson. Pro-
lessor Fjelsted who recently suffered
a broken arm in an auto accident, is
around again, though he still keeps
his injured arm in sling.
