BLOCK FOOT-AND-
MOUTH DISEASE
(From Montana State ColIege)

ITHE foot-and-mouth disease out.
i break in California illustrates
n again the need for the utmost
care and vigilance necessary to main
tain the health of live stock, accord
ing to livestock authorities at Mon
tana State college. The disease has
not appeared in Montana, and in fact
has not been discovered outside of
the quarantine area established in
| California, yet it is highly essential
that stockmen and farmers acquaint
themselves with the seriousness of
the disease, that all possible precau-
lions may be taken to prevent its
spread. The California outbreak,
while rather trifling as compared
to what might happen were the dis
ease given full rein, has had suffi-
cient results to make the seriousness
most impressive.
In a recent statement sent out by
the United States department of agri-
culture regarding the foot-and-mouth
disease in California it was pointed
out that the disease was known to
occur in but three counties and yet
nine counties are included in the very
strict quarantine that has been set
up. During the first two weeks of
the quarantine the firing squad kill
ed $50 head of cattle, 2,038 hogs, IL
goats and five sheep. This stock was
included in % infected herds. ''In
all cases the hides of the carcasses
were slashed and the animals then
covered with quicklime before being
covered with earth. The trenches |
for burial are about six feet deep"
says the report.
After the slaughter of stock on a |
farm the premises were thoroughly |
cleaned and disinfected. Several |
thousand railroad cars were included |
in the quarantine, not only the cars
within the area at the time of the
outbreak but all cars that had been
in the counties since the first of the
year, were thoroughly cleaned and
Armed guards are sta
toned at the boundaries of the quar-
area to see that the rules of
the quarantine are strictly enforced.
While the United States depart
ment of agriculture has taken COM
plete charge of the California situa-
ton, the state is cooperating in every
way, setting up supplementary quar-
antine regulations to prevent spread
Of the disease. These supplementary
authorize officials and
owners to destroy all stray animals
and pigeons found on quarantined
premises. All movement of livestock,
poultry, and of all equipment off or
onto affected premises is absolutely
except by officials of the
state and federal departments of ag-
'iculture. The movement of all feed
md livestock out of closed quaran-

CERTIFTCATION OF
SEED POTATOES

THE offspring of pure bred stock
is a pure-bred but the potatoes
resulting from the planting of
certified seed are not necessarily GER
titled, says f. M. Harrington, horti-
culturist at Montana State College.
There are other requirements, other
than the planting of certain kinds of
seed, that are necessary before pota-
toes can be classified as certified.
Those who sell potatoes as certified
on the ground that they were pro-
duced from certified seed are, wit
tingly or unwittingly, misrepresent-
ing their product. Mr.. Harrington
states that in order to maintain a
high quality product certain strict
rules and regulations must be adj
hered to. These rules for the produc-
tion of certified seed potatoes have
been established by the Montana Po-
tato improvement Association, and
Mr.. Harrington urges that both the
buyers of potato seed and the grow
ers familiarize themselves with the
requirements for certification.
Following is a summary of certifi-
cation requirements in Montana:
The first requirement for the GER
LITIGATION of field of potatoes is that
application shall be made for certifi- |
cation from f. M. Harrington, in
spector for the Montana Potato I'M
provement Association, Bozeman,
Montana. A fee of seven dollars
must accompany application and one
dollar additional for each acre above
two acres. This fee covers cost of
inspections of the field, and must be
paid in advance before the potatoes
are planted. The only other fee con-
nected with certification, is five
cent tag fee, which is charged for
each tag to be attached to each hun
dredweight of potatoes that are sold
as certified stock.
At the present time there are but I
seven varieties that are open to certi-
fication, according to the rules of the /
Montana Potato Improvement Asso- +
citation. These varieties are: Melted |
Gem, Irish Cobbler, Idaho Rural, S
Rural New Yorker, Green Mountain, a
Early Ohio and Triumph. r

''It is obvious that if breeding
stock was bought on the strength of
seven-day test of this kind in the
hopes of developing herd of high
testers, only disappointment would
result. 1t is also possible that
buyer, not realizing this popularity
of a seven-day test would pay more
for an individual than its true value
would warrant, were he basing the
price upon the butter fat content of
the milk.
"Seven-day tests have their value
and are especially important since so
many cows must be judged by them.
To large extent the seven-day test
does show the productive capacity of
the cow and the principal thing to
remember is that the percentage of
butter fat content is likely to be a
little high.

Truart Pictures which also brought
forth her first independent effort.
Drums of Jeopardy"-which are in
reality the two finest emeralds in the
that they are set as drum heads in
the knees of two squatting Hindu
figures. There is a legend that these
two emeralds, when held to the ears.
will echo the rumpity-tump-t ump Of
a beaten drum, and that then always
something tragic will happen. The

Russian castle where the jewels are
recovered by their rightful owner

He is tracked to the new world, to
New York. where his adventures are

these constitute a very small pro-

There Is, however, no occasion for

believe the state was ever dryer than
1t is today. Most of our counties
are in good condition, and I believe
we will have much less trouble this
summer than we had last. Progress
in the right direction is being made
daily in Maine.
In few counties, where the old
alliance of politics and liquor still
holds sway, we cannot expect much
until the people themselves take hold
Of the situation and clean 1t up.
Public sentiment is the only cure
for such evil conditions. Wet places
in Maine are exceptional and the
vicious propaganda of the liquor in
terests will have no effect upon our
law-abiding citizens.
