Around Ga. Live Stock

ATLANTA, Oct. 2.-As a safe
guard to Georgia's livestock indus
try against the dreaded foot and

germ, and is issued under authori-
ty of legislative acts of 1909 and

Recent development Of the foot
and mouth disease in Texas cattle
regions and its subsequent spread
over a wide area of the state has
greatly alarmed livestock men of
that section. and its continued pre-
valence, it is stated, led to the is
suance of the drastic order of DR..
Bahnsen, which became effective
Wednesday, the date Of issue.
Dealers Speculate.
Local leaders in livestock markets
would not speculate on the possible
duration of the embargo. but were
of the opinion that it would not be
modifie duntil the contagion has
been materially checked.
