Farmers AIerted
For Outbreak Of
Anthrax In Fall

New outbreaks of anthrax have

cautioned farmers today
The American Foundation for

swine We're its principal victims.
The possibility of outbreaks
elsewhere this fall has been heigh-
tened by heavy rains and floods
during the spring and summer
the Foundation said Germs which
cause the disease are often spread
to lowland pastures and overflow
grounds under flood conditions.
Since anthrax spores can live
in the ground for years, live
stock may pick them up when
grazing on infected soil. Once the
spore get into the body it multi
plies fast and enters the blood
stream. The result is an acute
blood poisoning and usually

horses, dogs, cats and even hui
man beings.
First warning of the acute
form of anthrax is when animals
die suddenly. In slower killing
types, the victim may show de-
preston, have difficulty in breath
ing and 60 into convulsions.
Death usually follows in one to
