Early Care Needed in
Treating Horse Sickness

Nationally known authorities.
speaking before an estimated 800
persons who attended recent all
day educational meeting on sleeping
sickness Of horses equine encep-
halomyelitis) at University Farm,
st. Paul, agreed that care Of the
animal during the first few hours of
the sickness was a big factor in its
recovery.
In Minnesota last year the dis
ease attacked over 10000 horses, Of
which a little over one-fifth died,
said DR.. c. E. Cotton, secretary OF
the Minnesota Livestock Sanitary
Board.
w. e. Moscrip, Lake Elmo, presi-
dent Of the Minnesota Livestock
Breeders association, in summarize
ing the addresses, said that three
things Of importance stood out. OF
these. the first was the need for re-
search, second learning to recognize
the symptoms early, and third, call
ing a veterinarian as soon as pos
sible.
d. c. p. Fitch, chief of the divi-
sion of veterinary medicine at Uni
versity Farm. asserted that the dis
ease Is known to be caused by q
specific virus. Vaccination, he said,
may prove successful. but it must
be done 6 weeks or more before the
disease appears in a community.
DR.. James Farquharson, head Of the
department Of surgery and clinics
at Colorado State College, Fort Col
Inns, said that vaccination proved
to be successful in that state.
D. w. S. Gochenour, Of the bur-
eau of animal industry, Washing
ton, D. c., stated that the disease is
most likely spread by insects. He
suggested that the best way to keep
horses from contracting the disease
was to keep them away from the
source of infection. This, he said,
would necessitate keeping horses
stabbed at night and protecting
them from insects during the day
with nets and insects repellents.
DR.. Carl TenBroeck, director of
the Rockefeller Institute, Prince
ton, N. j., reported that expert

LOCAL HUNTERS
ON FOX HUNT

Reporting a fox in the swamp
lands in the old Ashley River
bottom northwest Of Sank Cen
tire, Lester Calkins was joined by
Gust Otto, Art MacDermond and
Grid Carpenter on a hunt Sun
day. They took Jack, Gust Otto's
black and tan fox hound, with
them and when the fox was
driven from his hiding place the
dog took the trail and drove him
to his hole. The hunters and the
dog commenced digging and Mr..
Reynard was soon captured, but
not without battle. The dog suf-
fered slight decorations about
the nose, when he attempted to
drag the fox from his hole. The
hunters had a good time and
were elated in their kill. It is
claimed by those who know that
the fox is a cross of the red and
gray fox families.

THERMOMETER
TOOK NOSE DIVE
Ice-Tinged Winds Make Cold Spell
More Intent-Streets OF City
Practically Deserted

Building up for an awful letdown
winter precipitated hopes for con-
tinued warmth Monday-and with
it tumbled the temperature nearly
so degrees in headlong rush down
the mercury scale.
Forty-eight hours after jan
uary thaw had seen temperatures
under a warm sun mount into the
40's, cold winds blowing nightly
out Of the northwest shunted the
mercury to IL degrees Tuesday
morning at s a. m. Wednesday
morning the thermometer register
ed 20 below.
Saturday and Sunday, warmest
days of the winter thus far, found
the mercury mounting high above
freezing mark, sent snow into
slush. Pedestrians were in danger
of spaterings from the wheels of
passing cars. All Of Sank Centre
went out doors onto the highways
Sunday with the feel of spring in
the air. But a wind springing sud-
denly out of the north heralded the
cold wave.
Though the mercury sagged to
only IL degrees Tuesday the cold
was the more intent because of the
ice-tinged winds that whipped
down at gale-like velocity. Streets
were nearly deserted as only those
who found it necessary to face the
singing wind came out of doors.
Though no snow accompanied the
blast and highways were open,
travel and communication contin-
uing as usual, rural folk were
lothe to leave the warmth OF their
firesides unless forced to do so.
Business went into a slack period
with the first two days of the cold
spell.

Gus disease which follows along the

whether he would live long enough
to hear the world series over the

Imperial Valley press., 1938-10-27

Announcement of the successful
was made by Secretary
of Commerce Daniel Roper at his
press conference. He said the ball
oons had established a new worlds
record, but bureau of standards
statisticians pointed out that Rus
sian scientists have sent balloons
as high as "a miles.
The gas filled balloons were sent
aloft at 1927 am. The cluster car
ried a parachute and an automatic
radio broadcasting device. One by
one the balloons burst, but the 49,
mile level was reached before the
last one collapsed at 1890 am,
releasing the parachute. While the
balloons scared beyond the clouds,
the radio transmitter sent out short
wave signals which were recorded
on sensitive ground instruments to
be studied by students of cosmic
radiation.
The bureau of standards experts
said that the experiments may be
invaluable in determining whether
cosmic radiation originates in space
or within the confines of the earths S
atmosphere.
Results of today's experiment,
and others of similar nature to
be undertaken tomorrow and later
may prove of great practical utility
