The Fallon standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1920-1958, 1924-05-07


visions of the county quarantine
against traffic into this county from
California is being maintained at the
several points set up by the county
commissioners While inconvenience
has been the result to some auto
parties, as a whole they enter little
complaint and subject to the treat
ment with less objection than was
anticipated.
The plant at Hazen is the busiest
and between treating autos and
blanket men the station is working
over time. This was anticipated as
Hazen is main line point and the
distributing center for all the sec
ton. Well over 400 men have been
subjected to fumigation while from
six TO a dozen cars each day are run
through the process.
Valley Placarded
Practically every farm in this val
ley is placarded with signs warning
strangers off the premises The rule
is being well observed and new farm
help that is being used on the farms
must come with a card in hand. It
is only by such drastic means that
the disease can be kept out of this
county.
Travel Light
Owing to the fumigation rules that
are being enforced on the border line
automobile travel is lighter than in
several seasons. What should have
been the heaviest season for tourist
trade now promises to be the light
est. as many who contemplated trips
have given up the plans and are re-
naming at home rather than submit
to fumigation regulations. Travel
from the west and south is the light
est In several seasons while the camp
ground does not show the number of
cars that formerly parked at this
place. Parties arriving from the east
state that word has gone out that IL
will be hard TO get back and as a
consequence are taking trips In other
directions this season.
Several local people who had for
mulated plans for trips into Cali
fornia points have given up the trip
and will either stay at home or take
in other territory this summer. Runs
into California where autos are fumi-
gated even when not in the infected
sections have been abandoned and
the Sunday autoist is doing his plea
sure seeing inside of Neyada's bouD-
daries.
Fight Locke Better
DR.. Ferrell, county health officer,
states that from all reports that the
fight against the foot and mouth dis
case looks better The enforcement
of embargoes and guarantees to-
gether with the federal work he be-
lieves is having its effect. He Is Of
the opinion that had California taken
the situation as seriously as 1t should
and laid down drastic measures at
the start that the disease would new
er have gained its hold.
Recent reports from California are
encouraging as there has been no
new districts infected and in fact
the federal men together with the
state and county officials seem to
have corraled the epidemic TO the
original infected sections.
Care Must be Taken
The opening of several California
sections to travel and export of goods
must be guarded against with ex-
treme care, is the opinion of DR.. Fer
rell and others who are keeping In
touch with the situation. While Il is
possible that there is a chance for
no further spread of the disease from
those sections. yet should IT break
out again 1t may be spread widely
through such a movement. His ad-
vice is to keep the lines tight in Ne
yada for the next sixty days or more,
or until the epidemic is absolutely
stamped out. Care should be exer-
cised during the entire summer. as
undoubtedly there will be small out.
breaks in the infected section of Cali
fornia for number of months to
come.
