! UNKNOWN DISEASE
KILLING SHEEP IN
WESTERN DISTRICT
Malady, However, Causes
No Widespread Alarm
Among Growers.

San Angelo, Mar. 1.-Sheep men
south to the border and northwest
ward as far as Sterling county have
reported slight losses among their
flocks from an ailment with which
they are unfamiliar and which State
Livestock Experiment Sub-station No.
ii, located in Sutton county, is max
ing every effort to diagnose and, If
possible, obtain a preventative and
cure.
So reports j. M. Jones, animal
husbandnan in charge of livestock
breeding experiments at Texas A. &
NJ. College, who was here late in the
week, following several days stay at
the experiment station below Sonora.
Sheep apparently strong and in good
condition collapse from the malady, es-
pecially when driven or when required
to otherwise exert themselves, Mr..
Jones stated. The only parallel to the
case recalled by sheepmen is the
poisoning received by sheep during
protracted dry spells from eating milk
weeds. So far the ailment has not
become widespread and has occasioned
no great alarm.
General range and livestock condi-
tons between Del Rio and San An
gelo are excellent, according to Mr..
Jones, who adds that the greatest
need following the recent rains is
warm weather and sunshine to ma
ture the weeds and cause the grass
to grow. Mr.. Jones attended the
quarterly session of the Sheep and
Goat Raisers' Association of Texas
at Del Rio. He has been appointed
general manager of the Sheep & Goat
Raisers' Association 1924 show and
sale, to be conducted in conjunction
with the All-West Texas Exposition

May Lose Mail Service.

men here are very much alarmed over
the prospects of losing the mail SER
vice being operated between Lock
hart and San Marcos by automobile
on account of the irregular hours of
arrival here. Bad roads between San
Marcos and Lockhart prevent regular
service and as the expense of the
route TO the United States govern
ment is about $500 per year there
is a feeling that unless the service
is improved at an early date it will
be annulled. The Lions Club at their
regular weekly luncheon had the mat
ter under discussion and appointed q
committee to take charge.
