grounds for believing that the suspicion
of foot-and-mouth disease may be justi-
fed the matter should be promptly re-
ported by wire to the Chief of the Bureau
of Animal Industry in Washington and
a detailed written report forwarded as
soon as possible. If a positive diagnosis
cannot be made, hogs or calves should
be inoculated with specimens from the
suspected LESSONS and the results care
fully watched This can be done with
out waiting for a reply from the report
to Washington.
A positive diagnosis of foot-and-mouth
disease is followed Immediately by the
assignment of special Federal repre-
sentative to take charge of the work
of stamping out the outbreak This
representative is to cooperate in every
way with the proper State authorities
and to urge upon them the necessity of
an immediate and rigid quarantine of
the infected premises In this connec-
tion he should see that the owners of
infected herds are fully instructed in
regard to the extreme contagiousness
