PROBE NEW REPORTS
OF PLAGUE OUTBREAK

MERGED, Mar 27.-State in
spectors started out early today to
investigate a half dozen serious
eases, feared to be new outbreaks
Of the hoof and mouth disease which
had been reported by cattle men.
One Of these is near Hopetown,
another near Livingston, another
near Atwater and another near the
Mariposa line, all in Merced county.
One serious ease is near the town
of Mariposa.
I'VE investigated about a half
dozen such reports yesterday and
found them groundless. This is one
of the healthful phases of the pre-
sent situation. The rapchers are on
their toes, and are reporting every
bad symptom. Such action aids US
greatly and will enable us to close
right down on any further infection,
if such exists
Rosenberger said that practically
all the cattle infected or exposed
thus far are range cattle. Three
small dairies with about % head in
all compoaa the total of dairy cattle
infected.
The burial Of the l6 head on the
El Nido ranch was completed yes
terday. These are the only cattle
killed to date. :
The state and federal government
cooperating have established dead
line across the Merced and Mariposa
foothills nearly 20 miles long
where it will be unlawful to res
move cattle.
