PRECAUTIONS
TAKEN BY LIVE
YARDS BOARD

DR.. Will Robertson, secretary of
the State Board of Sheep Commits
sioners. II DR.. A. w. French, state
veterinarian. have issued warning to
all Wyoming stockmen against the
Foot and Mouth" disease which has
recently broken out in California.
An embargo has been placed on
California livestock, forage and bio
from California. except human be-
ings, will be permitted to enter this
state, no meats, no hay. straw or
grain and no products derived from
the of animals that die or
are slaughtered in California.
In case that the disease should
show up in Wyoming despite all pre-
cautions taken 1t is stated that the
livestock boards will request the
governor to convene the legislature
in special session in order to supply
n fund adequate to stamp out the
disease.
The warning issued by Drs. Rob
ertson and French var as follows:
After several years freedom
from foot-and-mouth disease, the
infection has appeared in the Uni
tee States; this time in California.
1t is now the prime duty and priv
ilege of livestock owners to fully CO.
operate with state and federal of
iicers In the quarantine and slaugh-
ter of affected and exposed animals -.
in the disinfcction of infested prem
ises and in all other measures essen
tial for checking the spread of the
disease. and accomplishing its era
dication.
IF a condition suspicious of the
disease, such as vesicles (blisters)
IN the mouth or on the feet. develop
among my cattle or swine. the own
er should Immediately notify DR..
A.. w. French, State Veterinarian,
Cheyenne, and when 1t makes its
appearance in sheep should notify
DIR. w. A. Robertson. Secretary
State Board of Sheep Commissioners
Cheyenne, or the nearest inspector
of the United States Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry. Inspectors are To-
Gated at Laramie, Kemmerer and
Sheridan. Pending arrival of an of
fical veterinarian, the owner of sus-
p~icious animals will as a matter of
course. close his place to all visitors
n with his family and employers,
refrain from visiting other farms.
IF the animals are found by the
inspector to be affected with foot
and-mouth disease. all stock on the
premises. including horses. will be
carefully confined and all dogs be
prohibited from running at large.
No animals are to be received on or
shipped from the place or moved
across any highway. n 40 milk
hay, feed or manure is to be re-
moved from the farm. 1t should be
borne in mind that the curiosity of
neighbors to see affected animals or
their well-meant desire to be help
full may result in infection of their
W farms. and further dissemina-
ton of the disease. There must be
close adherence to all necessary
quarantine requirements until all
$ u = c g y I ID e animals have been
slaughtered and cleaning and disin-
lection of the premises have been
accomplished.
This is a most serious disease of
livestock, and spreads rapidly once
IL makes its appearance. and quick
action in fighting this disease is the
only method of eradication II the
livestock industry of our state is
not to suffer n great loss"

Comment as Plans Go
Forward for Inquiry.

Attorney General Daugherty's re-
turn to Washington has brought no
outward sign of a new and more
acute crisis in his cabinet status, but
the feeling persists in high quarters
that his retirement is imminent.

emily in better health than when

meeting. Joined other officials in

turn. his name was brought into the

70 the efforts that were made to keep
Edward b. Mclean off the stand. and

gate his administration already had
issued half a dozen subpoenaes for

tana, who will act as prosecutor in
the Daugherty investigation. pressed
forward his work today with a view
TO opening the inquiry Tuesday or

tees policy of maintaining secrecy
about its plans. however. no intima-
ton has been given as to the subject
to be investigated first Nor has it
been disclosed in what Connection any
OF the witnesses were summoned.
