Foot and Mouth Disease
Spreads In California Sections
New Outbreak Most Serious Since Disease
Developed; Nevada Will Tighten
Up On Quarantine Lines

The outbreak of the foot and
mouth disease In Mariposa and Mer-
ced counties of California has the
effect of tightening up all quaran-
tines by this state as against Cali
fornia and it is probable that instead
of lessening the regulations by this
state that additional restrictions will
Immediately be employed to take
care of the situation.
During the past week the Nevada
Stock Growers Association in an
open letter to the governor suggest
ed that no relaxations be allowed,
as the letter explained that there was
grave danger in the Importation OF
any cattle from California to this
state, and that once the disease was
found here that IL would practically
ruin the cattle industry over the
state.
Outbreak In New District
The original outbreak of the di-
sease in the bay counties of Cali
fornia some eight weeks ago was
believed to be under control, as no
new cases had developed in the past
ten days.
Last Saturday an outbreak on the
Crocker-Hoffman Company big farm
in Merced county, Calf, and another
outbreak in Stanislau county, upset
all plans of transportation of cattle
from the lowlands to the mountain
section Five hundred head Of cattle
have been found infected in Merced
and one herd In Stanisiau county has
been destroyed.
Many Animals Infected
An Associated Press telegram Of
the 24th states that Men, supplies
and equipment are being rushed to-
Mariposa and Merced counties, and
the slaughtering of cattle affected
with the foot and mouth disease in
that district was started today by
authorities in a drastic effort to
check a new outbreak Of the malady
considered the worst since the cpl
demic began in California more than
a month ago.
The two counties are under strict
quarantine, imposed by order OF Gov
ernor Friend W. Richardson yester-
day, after a fresh outbreak of tie
disease was reported Ia a herd OF
cattle near Merced.
Telegrahpie appeals have been sent
to state and federal authorities BY
officials in charge OF the campaign
against the disease in the state, ask
ing additional men and supplies FOR

He lett Reno late Monday after

woman autoist and help was rem
dered. He was taken to Hazen and
later removed 10 this city where he
is being given medical and surgical
repairs.
He suffered many abrasions and

fatally injured and unless some com
plications set In will be out in a

cal offices, as we'll as state, federal
and county workers elsewhere are
being rushed TO the new quarantine
area.
q. II. Hecke, director of the state
department of agriculture who Is in
charge of the fight to check the new
outbreak, telegraphed from MERGED
today to Oakland headquarters re-
questing additional men to aid in
The eradication campaign.
A telegram also was sent to Sec
retary of Agriculture Wallace asking
additional federal experts and tele-
graphic appeal was sent to the sec
retary of war, asking for the use of
trucks and other equipment includ-
ing three airplanes.
bitches Shut OFF
The foot and mouth disease out
break here was pronounced extreme
ly serious by federal and state Off
cials in charge of the campaign to
eradicate the new danger today.
A fresh outbreak of the epidemic
was reported this morning among a
herd of Is dairy cows at El Nido,
eight miles south of here. Killing of
the infected stock is to begin i'm
mediately. the first slaughter being
at the Bellevue ranch, where the
disease was well defined.
About 20 federal and state Off"
cials are here at present engaged in
combating the spread of the epi-
demic, and enforcing the quarantine
regulations. Some of the irrigation
canals of the Merced irrigation dis
trict which run through infected
areas, have been shut off.
Local Situation Considered
l.. K. Cline and others of the fed
eral service who are keeping in touch
with the situation consider this out
break as the most critical since the
disease developed. They are insist
ing on further restrictions and 1T is
possible that the governor will be
asked to appoint more inspectors in
order to take every precaution.
The itinerant traveller is one of the
menaces that those familiar with the
situation fear. 1t is pointed out that
the movement of men from the Cali
fornia sections to Nevada may bring
the disease here. as the majority of
such labor seeks the farm and dair
les. AS they come from farming sec
tions and possibly infected districts
there is a possibility of the disease
being spread over a large area.
VIII Watch Project
Every possible means of preven-
tions OF the introduction of the di-
sease is to be taken here. 1t Is not
unlikely that the county commits
sioners will be called on to name
inspectors and the state and govern
ment will be asked for additional
men to safeguard the border section.
The recent news from California will
have the effect of tightening up ev-
cry line of quarantine as the state
are cooperating with the
federal and local men.
Recent word from Carson is to
the effect that Governor Scrugham
will with DR.. Record add amend
ments to the recently issued quaran-
tine making it "air tight" DR.. Rec
