TULAREMIA IN RABBITS

Prior to 1880, the State Game De-
partment annually imported from
5000 to 10000 cottontail rabbits
from Kansas and Missouri. An
outbreak of tularemia occurred in
Maryland in 1929, the cause of
which was traced to the handling
of cottontail rabbits. Investigations
made by the State Department of
Health caused said Board to advise
against further importation of rab-
bits to, Maryland on account of this
dreaded disease, Due to the de-
mand from the sportsmen for rab-
bits for restocking purposes on jan
uary 2nd, 1894, we addressed let
ter to the State Board of Health re-
questing to know whether or not
they would advise the importation
of rabbits this coming Spring for re-
stocking purposes. Said Board re-
piled that tularemia rs.sisted
throughout 1898. IA cases report
ed; only l less than in 1882. The
City Board of Health reported II
cases of tularemia in Baltimore City
in 1888 and in view Of a number of
cases which occurred ia Maryland
in 1888, the State Department Of
Health stated they would not at this
time recommend the importation of
rabbits, however. advised us to get
in touch with the u S.. Public
Health Service, requesting informa-
ton as to the effect Of tularemia in
Kansas and Missouri in the. past
four years, States from which we
had been importing these animals.
Under date of January 18th. Mr..
R. G. Williams, Assistant Surgeon
General, Division Of Sanitary Re-
ports and Statistics of the U. S. Pub
lie Health Service, replying to our
inquiry of January 9Th reports 120
cases of tularemia reported IN Kan

FORESTRY WORK IN STATE
Private Woodlands Benefltting Thru
Emergency Program

emergency fFOSfam
President Roosevelt's program
for putting the unemployed TO work
this winter is playing an interesting
part in some sections of Maryland
in the Improvement Of privately
owned woodlands. Hartford and
Prince Georges counties have shown
encouraging interest in forestry pro-
jects proposed by the Department Of
Forestry, and Civil Works employee
es have been pushing ahead since
carly in December in thinning road
side woodland strips, These pro-
jects are portions of statewide
program proposed by the Depart
ment of Forestry for improvement of
woodlands adjacent to public high
ways. n
Many forested roadsidcs resent a
very unsightly appearance with
much undesirable underbrush, wind
thrown timber, tangled vines and
discarded debris. Such areas are
not only unattractive from a scenic
standpoint, but constitute severe
fire hazard, reduce proper areatieR
and drying of road surfaces and pre-
vent rapid and profitable growth OF
desirable timber trees. The road
side thinning program provides for

ing removed, dense timber stands
are being tniRRsd out and unsightly
debris hauled away eF buried.
The work is organized aadef a
group of foremen who have been in
structed and trained in the thinning
of woodlands by officials of the De-
pertinent Of Forestry.
Many property owners and citi-
gems who do not possess prefefty are
showing a keen interest in this
work. Persons who at first were
doubtful as to the Adyisability of
spending public money for this work
have recognized the improved road
side appearance and reduced fire
hazard as q worthy PUBLIC accom-
piishment. Perhaps Of even greater
importance is the demopstra zion Of
sound forestry principles in the
handling OF woodland. Reeogpiz-
ing the benefits that accrue through
forest improvements. many owners
win extend the treatment that has
been demonstrated to wooded areas
more distant from the roadsides.

Importance OF Home Room


Programs
The different classes of Rising

feel as though they may he more

Whether we like it or not. industry

the president has plan and smile

cipal aims OF the MIRA is to feed

Ele either by putting them on the

Under the industrial recovery act,
the president has the power to sus-
pend the anti trust laws so that BUSH

Hadlick told the jobbers they had
no need to fear the future as long as
they preserved their strength and

There is an increasing need for

BOARD IS BATTLING
FREIGHT RATE JUMP
Railroad Commission Opposes
100000 Increase in
Grain Shipping Cost

Grain rate increases sought by
western railroads will boost North
Dakota's freight bill approximately
100000 annually, officials Of the
North Dakota railroad commission
said Tuesday as they forwarded a
brief to- the Interstate Commerce
commission vigorously opposing the
railroads proposal
The case will be argued orally be-
fore the &c. G. at Washington Feb. Z.
F. P. Aughnay, traffic expert. will
present arguments for the state rail-
road commission.
+. A. Durant, traffic manager for
the Greater Grand Forks Traffic as
ISOLATION. Neal E. Williams, traffic
commissioner for the Fargo Chamber
Of Commerce, and H. A. Bronson, at
torney for the North Dakota mill and
elevator association, will join in the
arguments against the proposed in
creaSes.
The brief states that producers in
North Dakota are receiving on an
average about so per cent less in price
for their products and the carriers
about so per cent more for carrying
grain and seeds as compared with
the pre-War prices and rates.
THE one great plea of the carriers
Is that their revenues have been low
as compared with former years." the
brief continues, land for that reason
they desire to saddle upon the north
west farmers millions of dollars in
increased transportation costs with
the hope that it will bolster up their
earnings"
Trying to Sock Farmer
It is claimed by the North Dakota
commission that the carriers operat-
ing in the state want increased rates
on grain from North Dakota because
OF the deprecated revenue and be-
cause they cannot place elsewhere in
creased rates"
I'VE are astounded," they continue
that these carriers. during this pc
Rod of abnormal depression, affect
Ing every business. even more and
particularly more the grain produc-
ers than the carriers business, should
have the hardwood to come at this
time, In view OF the facts and in view
OF their own experience, and ask for
increased rates on grain, the prod
ucts thereof. and Seeds
The original proceedings in the
grain rate case we're instituted by the
I. G. G. in 1927 and hearings held
throughout the western United States
The case was orally submitted to the
Interstate Commerce commission In
June, 1929. and a decision given a
year later. The rates. however. die
not 90 into effect until August
1881.
The carriers. claiming the I. G. G
had materially reduced its rates, ap.
pealed to the United States supreme
court on the grounds Of changed eco.
nomic conditions. The highest court
ordered q re-hearing, allowed the
carriers to cancel the rates, and rein.
stated the old rates, which went int
effect in February, 1892.
The net result Of the I. c. G. deci.
sion was substantial increase il
North Dakota's grain rate freight
bill, according to Aughnay.
New hearings were held Throughout
the western part Of the United State!
during 1892 and 1888. ending in Chi
cago last October 6.
