their premises. There will be no ex-
suse of avoiding the signs as the
are large red notices and conspicuous
from a distance. Signs for this pur-
pose have been received at the farm
bureau and are ready for distribu-
lion.
Hazen a Danger Point
The farm bureau, sheriff's office
md the agriculturist head quarters
admit that Hazen is one of the dan
ser points within this section. Many
hobos drop off trains at this point
seeking farm work within this valley
and section. So far II has been i'm
possible to cope with this situation.
II is known the men coming from
California sections have stopped off
At Hazen and have found their way
70 this city. In one or two instances
they have avoided fumigation. The
same may be said of Reno, as sew
eral men coming from that city have
admitted that they were not molest-
ed or approached by officers regard
ing fumigation.
During the week several automo-
biles have come to this district from
southern California and have not
been disinfected. The lack of auth
ority to impose rigid rules is de-
piored and so far there has been no
concerted effort to take the matter
into state hands and enforce rigid
quarantine that will be effective.
Used As Warning
The idea has been advanced that
the regulations will be made so tight
that 1t will be disagreeable for any
one to enter this county from Cali
fornia sections. Once 1t is known to
the hobo or travelling farm hand that
he must submit to regulations II Is
believed that the tendency to hunt
quarters here will be avoided.
To Hold Meeting Wednesday
Governor Serugham has called a
meeting at Reno Wednesday when
the sneriffs OF the various counties
are asked to be present In order to
formulate police plans to enforce reg.
ulations. The meeting was at the
suggestion of George Russell and w
II. Hardy, as they have pointed out
that proper precautions have not
been taken in regard to Nevada as
whole.
Roads entering the state from Cali
fornia already are being policed, the
governor said.
In expectation of the opening of
the summit road. with traffic into
Nevada from California, quarantine
workers are to pitch camp early this
week above Verdi to make strict ex-
aminations under the foot and mouth
disease ban.
Troughs are being placed at Verdi
Purdy and Red Rock, and numerous
smaller stations will use the spray
pump method.
Nothing so far has developed un-
der the fruit and vegetable quaran-
tine placed in effect. with stations,
April s. Numerous permits were
granted TO shippers in disease free
territory. These will run out on Tues
day when shipments will be stopped
In cases in which clean bills of health
are not furnished by the shippers
themselves. according to DR.. Edward
Records, state quarantine officer.
Progress toward a complete "buf-
fer line" of northern California coun
ties, calculated to bring about a con-
dition which automatically shall act
10 lift the Nevada quarantine In
these counties for the purpose OF fac
ilitating range interchange, Is report
cd from there to the Nevada Land
and Livestock association office in
Reno.
A communication from w. e.
Wight. secretary of the Northern
California Counties association, says
Nevada, Placer, Ynba, Sutter ana
Eldorado are getting together on a

Commissioners Meet
Monday afternoon a special ses-
sion of the county commissioners was
held to take means to prevent the
introduction of the disease into this
county.
The question of stopping farm la
bor from entering the county is un-
der consideration and a fumigation
station is to be established at Hazen
where all classes of labor or persons
win be subjected to disinfection.
