Prompt action by Federal and State live stock officials has brought the combined forces of the Bureau of Ani- mal Industry and the Live Stock San- itary Commission of Texas into a con- centrated drive to eradicate an out- break of the foot-and-mouth disease among cattle on a ranch in Harris County, Tex., not far from Houston. Dr. John R. Mohler, chief of the Fed- eral Government's forces here, said conditions in general ‘are favorable for the eradication work. The disease, which had been under observation of the State authorities, was not definitely diagnosed as the dread cattle scourge until yesterday Immediately a drastic quarantine was thrown around the infected ranch and those nearby, while a quarantine cov- ering Harris and Galveston Counties and parts of Brazoria and Fort Bend Counties was promptly put into effect. The Texas officials willingly signed a contract for co-operation with th Federal authorities, as is necessary before the Federal Government can begin operations within any State. Steam shovels worked all last night preparing a trench for the infected cattle when slaughtered. The usual methods of quarantine, inspection, ap- praisal. slaughter and deep burial, which have resulted in the suppres- sion of other outbreaks, will be fol- lowed. Dr. Imes Directs Work. Direction of the Federal forces in the work of eradication will be taken by Dr. Marion Imes, one of the bu- reau’s veterinarians of long experi- ence in foot-and-mouth disease con- trol, who is now en route to Houston. Dr. L. J. Alien, inspector in charge of veterinary field work in Texas for the Federal Government, and Dr. T. W. Cole, his assistant, are working with Chairman J. Boog Scott-of the Live Stock Sanitary Commission of Texas and Dr. Leon Cloud, State veterina- rian, who are on the ground Live stock authorities and sanitary officials of the various States have been notified by the Department of Agriculture of the prevalence of the disease in Texas. The new outbreak is in no way connected with the in- fection which appeared in California last Winter and which has been sup- ed, officials of the Bureau of A Industry stated yes Strong_indications that the infection entered surreptitiously from South America through a Gulf port are given in a preliminary survey of the Texas situation. o e Eels frequently cross meadows and fields to get from one stream to an- other. In making their journey they choose the early morning, when the grass is wet with dew, or they travel during a rainfall NS SLEEVES AND MIXTURE. .
