Mr.. Stephenson's letter into-day's
issue will be read with satisfaction
by Highlanders. Our people want
to know that their representatives,
State and County, are alert at time
when much may be lost or gain by
yigilence and prompt action.
The S. & P. pike ranks first among
even the preferred roads, and SO 1t
should. 1t is not only interstate
but it is the county's outlet and IN
let, and the aim should be to hasten
construction rather than rest on the
assurance that it will be done some
day.

Looking After Highland
Warm Springs, Va.
.July IA. 1919

July IL, 1919
To the Highland Recorder,
Monterey, Va.
see in your issue of last week
that you have heard "a rumor" of
diverting the national aid from the
Staunton and Parkersburg Turnpike
to the Harrisonburg and Warm
Springs ruote.
This is news to me ana the first
time I have heard the subject mem
toned. I appeared in Richmond
with the members of the Board of
Supervisors of Highland county to
advocate the S. & P. Route and ex-
planned to Mr.. G. P. Coleman, State
Highway Commissioner, the import
ance of this route to the people OF
Highland county and at that time he
seemed to fully understand it. / af-
forwards talked to him several>ttmes
in reference to this road and he as
sured me that he had ordered the
survey to be made and expected work
to commence in the wastern part of
Augusta county at once. I cannot
think there can be contemplated
change in this route.
Just last week in report submit
ted by the good roads committee to
the Governor of Virginia, the S. C P.
route is laid down in class "a" and
this report will be submitted to the
Extra Session of the Legislature
which meets on August the 18th,
1919 and I can assure the people of
| Highland that will look after their
interests in this route and see that
no change is made.
am writing to Mr.. Coleman in
reference to any.change in this route
today and will be glad if you will
keep me posted of any information
that you may have on this subject.

H. P. PATTERSON, Clerk
Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1919-07-18
Editor Highland Recorder:

In a brief way we will give you
some of our experiences with the
Allegheny mountain disease bloody
menan, or more correct, the Hemor-
ragic Septicemia germ that caused
many losses last summer and fall.
This disease is showing itself early
this season, a three year old steer
having died here on Friday, the 18th.
Our diagnosis was correct as confirm
ed by a blood test made by DR.. Sto-
yer, who has high power micro
scope, a highly valuable instrument
for any M. D. or D. Va diagnosis
from symptoms may prove something
else under the microscope.
The period of mediation is from
one-half day to several days. Pale
ness of the lining of mouth and nose,
difficult breathing, blood running
from nose or in manure, head up and
nose pointed straight out, slow wab-
bly, gait are some of the most COM
mon symptoms of the disease. Dead
animals should be burned and lime,
and disinfectants used freely, as dis
ease is very contagious:
By vaccinating cattle, (sheep and
hogs and poultry also subject to
same disease) with Hemorragic Sep
ticemia Bacteria, the disease can
both be prevented and cured. 1t is
possible to save the life of an animal
that is almost deau using the proper
vaccine or serum. This was dem
onstrated here on heifer last sea-
son, she improved and wintered up
we'll.
Tuesday, the 18th we vacinated II
head of steers, COWS, and calves. At
ter loosing steers, having had no
fresh vaccine and not looking for
disease to appear this season, we at
once gave each steer one-half pound
EPSON Salts in quart of warm water.
The effect of this was very noticea-
BILE in Improvement of cattle in three
days time. Better give one pound
salts in quart or more of water to re-
tard disease until vaccine can be Sc
cured. But don't think that the
salts will produce a cure. Cattle
are too valuable to run such risk
and the cost of vaccine is little COM
pared to cost of animal.
By vaccinating animals before TAX
ing to range or those on range now,
you get the same results as those
from the use of Blackleg vaccine.
We will be glad to answer any
questions we can, relative to this
disease and if we cannot render any
other service to Highland people than
help combat this disease, our time
and expensive experience will not
have been spent in vain.
We feel that it is our duty to warn
our people about this disease, and do
all in our power to prevent losses of
not only our own but others.
Two sheep have been known to die
of this disease on Allegheny noun
tain this month.
Our experience at V. P. I. along
with it at home, qualified us to vac
cinate our own cattle. We would
not be permitted to charge for our
services without a permit from the
State Veterinar1n, so we write this
for no personal gain other than that
you profit by our experience.
Yours truly,
R. H. CRUMMETT

With an illustrated cartoon week.

be added an official Non-Partisan
league weekly in each county OF
North Dakota to have all official

All legal and official notices in
the county are to appear in the or

official paper is to be guaranteed
$4,000 patronage year.
The fighting political machine with
abundant funds and means OF pub

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis, June 20.-Soil surveys to de-
termine the crop relations and tillagc
qualities of Oregon farm lands will
be conducted in two additional
counties this ummer-Multnomah
and Josephine. The surveys will be
made by the agricultural college and
the U. S. bureau of soils, under di-

soils department at the college.
The surveys give a complete scien-

1t is the intention OF the government
and the college to continue the work
of soil surveys until all agricultural
counties of the state have been ex-

their qualities recorded.
Field experimental plots are main
