SEASON FOR hoe
CHOLERA SPREAD
South Dakota Expert in Animal
Diseases Gives Early Warn
ing for Prevention.

Brookings, S. D.-The stage is all
set in South Dakota for the widest
outbreak of hog cholera since the year
1914, according to DR.. G. s. Weaver,
extension specialist In animal disease
at State college.
Outbreaks of this disease, according
to DR.. Weaver, are to be found
throughout the eastern part of the
state at the present time. The num-
Der of outbreaks is larger than usual
at this time Of the year., and the indi-
cations are that the disease will
spread widely this summer and fall. IL
Is only possible that through some
peculiar and unforeseen circumstances
a bad outbreak may be averted.
ut behooves every farmer to be on
the alert and keep close watch over
the condition of the hogs in his neigh
borhood, as well as his own herd"
says DR.. Weaver, land at the first sign
of trouble use every possible mears to
prevent the spread of the disease.
"All we'll hogs within a radius OF
two to three miles of the infected herd
should be .v~accinated. The time to
vaccinate is while the hogs are well,
not after they are sick. Some few
hogs may be saved in a sick herd, but
the vaccination of a sick hog is al
most like v%acinating a sick man after
he already has contracted the small
box.

of the powers for the reconstruction
Of Russia. Such is the brief summary
emanating from Soviet sources Of the
B~olsheviki views on the memorandum
on when Europe's statesmen have
worked so laboriously.
The fact that the document does not
mention recognition of the Soviet gov
eminent and ignores the suggestion of
governmental loans is said to displease
the Communist leaders who are now
comforting with Moscow. The mem
orandum was delivered to them after
a corps of secretaries had worked Q
