SAYS FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE IS PREVALENT C. E. Cotton, Secretary State Live- stock Sanitary Board, is sending out the following warning, in the interest of our livestock industry: Foot and Mouth disease has been very prevalent in. Europe since the war, and at the present time there is a very serious outbreak in England and Scotland, since January 1st, 1922 this disease has appeared in 966 herds in Great Britain, requiring the slaugh- ter of 43,735 animals. The United States and Canadain officials are maintaining-a strict em, bargo against importation of animals ; and exposed materials from the infect- ed countries and .are taking every possible precaution to pevent the in- troduction of the disease. However, there is always the danger of it being brought into our country through oth- er channels. For instance, it seems /possible for the virus of the disease to -be carried long distances in the ciothing or other belongings of immi- grant farm lahorers, or hay or straw used as packing for crokery and oth- er goods. The hay and straw should be immediately burned.to prevent its reaching susceptible animals. The clothing of such laborers should be thorougly fumigated before these men are allowed to care for suscepti ble animals. All livestock under care of men who have recently arrived from foreign countries should be watched carefully for any symptoms of sore mouths or feet. 1t is very essential that all who are interested directly or indirectly in our livestock industry will be on the alert for the first appearance of the disease, should we be so unfortunate as. to have another outbreak in this countryi’ Therefore, veterinarians , county agents,'stockmen and others who come in contact with livestock should be WEDNESDAY SOCLAL AND PERSONAL | Miss Helen Minnick, teacher. in.the school at Moorehead, 1s spending her Easter vacation with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C.

The practice of growing beets year after year on the same field gives the nematodes an excellent oppor- tunity - of becoming established - if they are once introduced. A definite system ‘of crop rotation is said to be advisable; with not more than two years of beets in succession.

POLICE WILL ATTEMPT TO GET WISE TO FASHIONS (By United Press) Kingston, N. C., April 11.—The police force here will subscribe to a fashion magazine: Aleck Williams, clerk of the police court, assisted in the cataloging of an assortment of stolen women’s apparel. He called off the garments one by one until he came to a 1922 model evening gown. “Kimono,” said Williams. Elwood Buck, patrolman, witness ‘n a larceny case, was asked by coun- sel for the defense to identify a num- ber of garments. “What is this?” asked an attorney, holding wup a “Dress,” said Buck. “And this “Pair of hose.” “And this?” “Shirtwaist,” said Buck. It wasn’t. Buck and his fellow cops waiting to 2o on the stand, blushed when the iawyer howled, a note of triumph in his voice,” “Teddies, your honor!” Now the force is depending upon a city hall retainer who used to make dresses, as its expert on such things. And it is skeptical regarding him, it was stated today, “the styles change so often.
