of A g ric u ltu r e -‘
Several weeks ago Dr. Veranua A-
Moore, of Cornell university, brought
to the attention of the United States
bureau of animal Industry the exist
ence among poultry of a disease which
lie diagnosed as the European fowl
pest, hitherto hnknown In the United
States. Investigations made In New
York city, and Philadelphia, by repre
sentatives of the bureau confirmed this
diagnosis.
The disease Is characterized by Its
extremely Infectious nature, rapidly
progressing tnurse, and high mortality.
Conspicuous symptoms are depression
and loss of appetite followed by pros
tration. The comb and wattles usual
ly become purple, and sometimes swol
len. Sticky erudate may paste ths
eyelids together, clog the nasal pas
sages and even obstruct the windpipe,
causing labored breathing. A green
ish yellow diarrhea may be present.
community property law, to apply that
decision of assessment of taxes In th«
seven other states having community
property laws.
The test case will result from the
treasury's announced refusal to refund
Income taxes to California taxpayers
to whom It has declined to grant the
privileges accorded under that state's
community laws. Refunds of about
$3,000,000 will have to be made on
estate taxes collected by the federal
government in that state which At
torney-General Stone a few days ago
held to be illegal.
Besides California, Arizona, Idaho,
Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico,
Texas and Washington have commun
