Dr. M. J. Bel ton, state veterinarian stationed at Pendleton, has been spending every day in this district vaccinating hors es and treating those already affect ed.

CHANGES LISTED IN COUNTY FAIR PREMIUM LISTS Two changes have been made in the 1939 county fair premium lists since the books were printed. A greater portion of the booklets have been distributed about the county. Anyone wishing to enter jellies or jams for competition at the fair will be interested to learn that commer cial pectin may be used in their pre paration. This is a variation from the printed lists which state that no commercial pectin can be used. A great deal of interest has been shown in past years in this division. The other change has to do with poultry. It will be noted that the first division under the various clas ses a-re designated as "cockw." This has been changed to read as cock erels which are birds under one year old. When the premium list was re vised this year it was decided to eli minate one of these classes, doing away with the exhibition of birds which were several years old.
