its reference to the disease, as it
states that the measures being tax

dictated by department of the

writer was formerly the head. He
says:

into the ditch in droves of hund-
reds at time They are then
shot by firing squad covered
with lime and the ditch filled in.
Before the ditch is refilled men 90

''The shooting of birds and squir-
