HERD LAW OPPOSED
BY MANY BURLE1GH
COUNTY STOCKMEN

Inc PROPOSED CUdu5c Ill luc dull
leigh county herd law. eliminating the
open season for livestock grazing,
promises to be strongly opposed at
the polls in November A large dele
cation Of Painted Woods farmers
were in this week, familiarizing
themselves with the recent resolution
of the county commission, which is
to be referred at the general election.
They declared that its adoption will
work a hardship on them and their
neighbors. The farmers in this dis
trict generally favor two years de-
lay, which will enable livestock
growers to complete the fencing Of
their holdings. Those who have no
fences now cannot possibly complete
" enclose their fields by the time
the proposed resolution would take
effect. and as result they would be
deprived of winter grazing for their
stock.
They contend further that the per-
manent closed season will operate to
the advantage Of the nonresident
landlord, whose rental rates are too
high for the farmer in the summer,
but who has been evened up by the
free use of his range during the win
ter months
