HORSE DISEASE
MAY Be CAUSED
BY HUN AGENTS
Spring Season Farm Work
Crippled When Horses Be-
come Afflicted with Dis
temper.

The rapid spread Of distemper
among horses throughout eastern In
diana. the malady seeming to be cen
tered In Rush county. has given rise
to the belief that German agents may
be respon sitle.
The malady, affecting as 1t does the
best horse flesh that is so badly need
ed in the country's drive for greater
farm productiveness this year, creates
somewhat. Of a crisis in the spring
work on the farms. In many cases
the horses die of the disease, but even
in the milder cases they are rendered
practically worthless for several
months.
Veterinarians in Richmond report
that there has been a greater spread
of distemper in Wayne county this
year than existed last season, but be-
lieve the disease is entirely due to
natural causes. They do not credit
the German spy plot.
In Rush county, where the disease
seems to nave taken the worst effect,
it is said that hundreds Of horses on
the farms are disabled, and farmers
are in a serious plight, not knowing
how they are going to do their spring
work without the animals aid. In
stead OF greater farm productiveness
this year the disease bids we'll, they
say. to cause the opposite condition.
An article published Wednesday in
the Rushville. Qnd.) Daily Republican.
says: ut is believed that the sowing
OF the germs of the deadly horse NAL.
ady Is one of the threads Of the Ger
man spy system
Veterinarians are doing all they
can to prevent the further spread OF
the disease, and preventative mea-
sures are being taken. Horses not
yet afflicted are being vaccinated.
which is said to be sure, safe and
comparatively inexpensive treatment.
All farmers in the section where the
disease is located are urged by the
veterinarians to take the vaccination
method of preventing the spread OF
the malady.
Farmers who And distemper among
their horses should not try to conceal
the fact from their neighbors. To sell,
trade or otherwise move stricken
animal from the farm where it first
became afflicted, is bound to cause a
spread of the disease and such action
will not be tolerated by the authori.
