present at the session of the county
commissioners that it is mainly uD
to the farmers and dairymen of this
valley to prevent the disease being
introduced II was shown that 1t is
dangerous to hire any kind OF out
side labor. Keep all such labor OFF
the place. Place signs OF warning
against any such intrusion and see
that II Is enforced.
Every stranger coming to this city
will be fumigated, but that is only a
minor precaution. Don't order fruits.
flowers or any commodities from
California. Report any itinerant to
the authorities that he may be taken
care Of II you have relatives in Cali
fornia let them stay there, don't in
yite them to the farm. Such people
are a menace to this valley and the
whole state.

west put up at your farm. keep them
away from the ranch. Help the local
authorities TO keep in touch with all

reau and the county commissioners

As far as can be learned by con-
sulting DR.. Records. Nevada state
quarantine officer. and DR.. Dye, fed.
eral inspector of foot and mouth con
troll the following program is rec
commended:
1. That there Is no means on the
Nevada side of obtaining accurate
information as to how bad the foot
and mouth disease is in California.
that is, how general the new out
breaks are and exactly where they
are occurring.
2. That while the authorities in
this state are doing everything pos
sible. itinerant laborers are sitting
through the lines as established. That
while Reno is doing all IL can, the
quarantine station as established is
not able to take care of many of the
laborers going through Reno.
3. DR.. Edward Records. state quar-
antine officer, emphasizes the i'm
portance of checking laborers from
going on ranches or entering coun-
ties without being fumigated. Sher-
lff Crane, L. f. Cline. l.. L. Moody
and County Agent Reed visited Haz
en- Sunday and selected quarters
where deputies can be stationed, re-
quiring two men to meet all trains,
freight and passenger alike and FUN
igate all passengers landing In Me-
vada. All other roads leading into
Churchill county must be guarded.
4. 1t will be necessary for Chur-
chill county, therefore, to protect
itself to the fullest extent. This
should be done by quarantining
against all other counties In this
state.
s. That each individual ranch
should be protected at the present
by claiming up of all dogs.
(a) Those dogs being allowed to
run free should be reported TO the
sheriff. and he should kill them
where no means is taken to keep
them chained
(b) All migratory birds should be
killed by the individual ranchers.
permission being obtained by the
county commissioners from federal
authorities so that birds that are
protected by the federal laws can be
| killed likewise. Pigeons are espe-
cially good carriers of the disease.
(c) That all cattle be fenced away
/ from all bitches, and IL necessary
rev wells put up, and the cattle
watered in corrals. where the least
possible Infection might occur.
Id All farmers should protect
themselves by not going to town or
visiting their neighbors any more
than is necessary in their business
pursuits. The disease is spread by
curious men Farmers and others
alike) running to see the disease.
Stay home and let those whose duty
Il is handle 1t.
6. Wooden troughs built at the
gateways, that the wheels of the ear
are thoroughly washed off before en-
tering the premises is one of the
means of control suggested by DR..
Dye. A spray OF sheep dip would be
cheaper, then the entire running
gear can be disinfected.
Z. Place quarantine signs stopping
all, persons from entering premises
without permission and disinfection
