CATTLE DISEASE
ITEM EXPLAINED
BY DIR. L0FFER

Although anaplasmosis is some
times confused with Texas Fever
deadly cattle disease, the two are
entirely different, said DR.. S. F
Loffer, livestock inspector, today.
DR.. Loffer explained that there is
some likelihood that anaplasmosis
exists in Imperial Valley, but that
there is no Texas Fever In Califor-
mia at the present time
Speaking technically, DR.. Loffei
said:
"Anaplasmosis is an acute, SUBJ
acute or chronic. febrile. infectious
protozoan disease. characterized by
sudden loss of flesh. labored
breathing, suspension of milk flow,
anenia. jaundice and marked de-
generative changes in the red blood
corpuscles due to activity of Ana
plasma marginale.
1T is probably transmitted from
sick animals TO the healthy ones
through the medium of biting in
sects, ticks, flies, mosquitoes, lice,
fleas or other known agents. The
malady may be confused with Tex
as Fever. There is no Texas Fever
in Imperial county or in the state" "

LAND EXPERTS
ON STAND FOR
M'CALL TRIAL

Defense testimony in the Mccall
grapefruit land suit this morning
called three witnesses to the stand
to testify that the land sold by the
Mccall Brothers company to Cliff
ford L. Craig and Harry f. Griffin
is equal in quality to other grape
fruit land in Imperial Valley.
The witnesses. all qualified as
land experts, were Frank S. Hewitt,
Mack Trentham and E. @. Roberts.
Roberts offered strong defense
testimony when he asserted from
the stand that the land involved in
the suits brought by Craig and
Griffin, who are seeking recession
of sales contracts, compares fav-
orably with other grapefruit land.
One part of Roberts testimony
dealt with the land in relation to
frost. He testified that other grape
fruit lands in the valley suffered
more from recent frosts than did
the Mccall land.
Harry Horton, attorney for the
plaintiffs, objected to this testi-
mony on the grounds that 1t had
no bearing on the issues Of the
case. One OF the allegations is the
complaints OF Griffin and Craig
is that the land was represented
to them as being free from frosts.
Horizons objection was overruled,
although Judge Finney agreed that
the statements in regard to frost
comparisons had little bearing.
Roberts aided the derense strong
ly when he testified that the quail
ity of grapefruit on the land in
yolved compares favorably. for the
age of the trees, with other grape
fruit in the valley.
