HOG AND CATTLE
SURVEY PLANNED
Postponement to October 30
Necessary on Account of
Influenza

On account of the epidemic of in
fluenza, the food administration has
found it necessary to postpone the
statewide survey of cattle and hogs
which had been been contemplated,
until Wednesday, October 80. 1t had
been intended to use the school chill
dren in the taking of this survey but
on account of the closing of the
schools it has been found impossible
to do so at this time.
The food administration regrets
deeply that this very important un-
dertaking must be postponed even
for a short time, because the meat
situation in relation to our army re-
quirements is critical and definite in
