This was their annual tour, each
year selecting a different county to
visit.
While here they studied the differ

breeds and the different problems rel
ative to the production of milk for
cheese manufacture.
Professor V. D. Chappel, N. C.

era from Infected Districts
Named as Probable Place of
of Encampment
Prospects are bright now that the
troops of the Oregon national guard
may not leave the state for their
annual encampment this spring.
This week Givernor Pierce request
ed the adjutant general to give up his
plans for transporting the Oregon
men to California for the encampment
on account of the possible infection
from the hoof and mouth disease.
Wednesday announcement was made
by the adjutant general’s office that
the state soldiers may go to Fort
Stevens or Gearhart instead of leav-
ing the state. Camp Lewis was the
place of the mobilization last year.
If the Oregon national guard is
trained at Fort Stevens the Tillamook
men will spend the two weeks only
about sixty-five miles from home.
Captain J. E. Shearer has been
called to a meeting of the general
staff at Salem Saturday, when the
matter will probably be considered.

According to information sent to
County Veterinarian J. N. Shaw this
week the foot and mouth disease has
spread to two more counties in Calif
ornia, and a strict quarantine is be
ing kept up, though tourists have not
been restricted from uninfected areas.
The spread of the disease has re
sulted from the employment of dairy
workmen from the infected areas,
and owners of dairy herds in Tilla
mook county have been warned
against hiring any help whom they
are not actually acquainted with or
whose recent movements are not
known.
Dr. B. T. Simms, who was sent
from the Oregon Agricultural college
some time ago to study the situation
in California, has found it necessary
to stay on the job there for some
time yet to watch further develop
ments. He reports that diagnosis of
the disease is not as easy as some
people suppose.
The office of the Oregon state vet
erinarian is perfecting an organiza
tion to combat the foot and mouth
disease in case it spreads to this state.
So far as the effects of the disease
on humans is concerned, it seems
principally to effect infants, who get
intestinal disorders from the in
fection, sometimes becoming quite ill.
Tuesday Governor Pierce requested
Brigadier General White to keep the
Oregon national guard troops out of
California on account of the epidemic
there.
