Portland, Ore., Nov. 24, 1914, The stock breeders of the Pacific Northwest will learn with regret that , on account of the presence of the ! dreaded foot and mouth disease in j the Middle West, and the possibility j that through some means infection might be brought into this territory, the management of the Pacific Inter national Livestock Exposition has decided to eliminate all entries of breeding stock of every description and confine the show exclusively to meat auimals. 'It has been found best," said Manager Plummer, "in view of the fact that the foot and mouth disease is prevalent in the eastern states, to do away with the breeding classes, not only in cattle, but hogs and sheep as well, for this year. We do not be lieve there is the slightest danger that the disease will enter this terri tory but the value of the stock to be shown is too great to permit us to run any risk no matter how slihgt it might be. The stock exhibited will be that Intended for slaughter. This is the only show to adopt thfs course, but we believe our action will meet with universal approval."

The sale will be made on any reasonable terms with 6 per cent on deferred payments.

No advice has been received as to the prices at which these apples are sold to the ul timate consumer. More than 12,000,000 feet of tim ber, board measure, was given away by the government to settlers in the vicinity of the national foAsts in Oregon during the past year, accord ing to a report just issued by the dis trict forester.

Of this amount 35 per cent was turned over to the state for road and school purposes. The Oregon Out Crop for 1914, Washington, D. C, Nov. 21, 1914.
