FL PASO SCOUTS ARE.
AT LAS CRUCES CAMP

Las Cruces, N. M, June 14.-The
Ell Paso council and boys of the
Boy Scouts of America have start
ed their summer camp-Camp
Ullabanoh-in the Oregon noun
tains, IS miles east of here, during
the past week. A crew of boys UNI
der a leader was sent out two
weeks ahead of the regular period,
but they did not get the camp en-
tirely finished until the regular
period began and they could put
others to work on their project.
The camp stands in the long
canyon at the foot of old Badly
and the boys have set up long
rows of squad tents in which to
house the boys during the camp,
which will last to August 10, in
intervals of two weeks and one
week. The council hopes to have
a field telephone line put into Las
Cruces and a wireless outfit at the
camp that will be capable Of send

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Every year the people of the United
States lose over $2O0.OOO,OOO directly
(and no one knows how much indi-
rectly) through diseases of farm ami
mails. This is large toll when d.
vided on a per capita basis, and when
1t comes home to the farm stock-rais-
er who finds a valuable animal dead in
the barn, or an epidemic spreading In
to his herd, the loss Is sometimes disas-
trOus. The most regrettable feature
Of the case is that probably three
fourths of the loss could be prevented.
Five Causes of Disease.
There are FIVE principal causes of
disease and death of farm animals =
contagious diseases, sporadic disease,
parasitic troubles, accidents and neg
lect. Contagious diseases can be
avoided, or at least their consequences
greatly diminished, if farmers will
learn to cooperate with the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the various state livestock and sani-
tary authorities, who are striving to
maintain animal health. Farmers
should report promptly to the nearest
officials any suspicion of the presence
Of contagious disease, and they should
observe carefully all regulations in re-
gard to quarantine, sanitation. and
care of animals, as protection against
contagion.
tuberculosis is one of the worst
scOurges among animals ana it thrives
best in damp, dark, ill-ventilated sta
bles. 1t is less common among ami
mails running at large. Light, dry,
well-ventilated stables and dry. clean
barnyards or paddocks are essential to
the health of farm animals. One val
liable point In combating contagious
diseases, especially tuberculosis, is to
start the herd with animals that not
only are free from disease, but are of
