Here he and his wife read the quarantine notice applie by the g.vernment which forbids him to move any other livestork or his equipment off his farm. He bought the cattle from Alberta ‘ast November. The disease, though not as easily transmitted as the aco! and mouth scourge, is contagious. LOSES CATTLE TO RARE DISEA SE ee The Cracker Barrel Forum By A. J. Drinkell Provided the situation is now being fully reported and nothing un- toward happens it would seem the cattle ranchers may breathe a little easier. No new outbreaks of foot and mouth disease have Leen reported for some days. There are lessons to be learned from the calamity which has overtaken our good neigabors in Saskatchewan, One such is the ur- gent need of a resident qualified veterinary. In an aiea like the Cari- boo in which the main pursuit is cattle ranching and which accounts for over a million dollars of its in- come this seems to us to be a grave condition. It must be plainly evident to every- one by this time that this dreaded disease can and may break out here although we may be fortunate enough to escape it this time. Should such an outbreak occur time is the very essence of preventative mea- sures.

If the government deems it expedient to train them surely industry should make some attempt to utilize their services. Any subsidy thus granted could be reviewed at intervals of two years in the lignt of subsequent earnings. We just cannot e: ‘pect them to give nine years of their lives to getting started in their chosen profession, and yet their services to the ranchers and farmers bear much ;the same relationship as does fire insurance to the wise merchant. The Cariboo Cattlemen could spend some time pondering that. as- pect of their industry to good aavan- tage. True, there are one or two government veterinarians stationed in the province but in an emergency they would simply be overwhelmed, or be as remote from the area affect- ed as it is possible to be. There should be one or more permanently resi- dent in a district the size of Cariboo. If no calamities occur so much the better. Who ever heard of any but a degenerate honing to cash in on his fire insurance or accident policy? Many have been saved from bank- ruptey by having it, and many build- ings have been saved by the timely intervention of the fire brigade. The time may also be opportune to reiterate our previous suggestion, namely, that all possible emphasis be placed upon courses allied to ag- riculture and agricultural sciences at the new vocational training centre we hope to erect at Williams Lake in the near future. Here again the Cattlemen could do a little profi- able thinking; also the Farmers In- stitutes. A little co-operation be- tween them and the educutionists could work wonders and make it a really worthwhile’ asset to the dis- trict. A few generous scholarships made available to those studeuts passing with exceptional merit each year, would enable these highly qualified youngsters to avail themselves cf the many excellent courses now being offered py the various universities and agricultural colleges. These are matters which shou!d be approached from the viewpoint of their value to the agricultural industry generally and not in the spirit of reluctantly granting a concession to some new- fangled trend. Properly co-orain=2 = they would do much to stimulate a greater interest in agriculture on the part of the young people (and Heaven knows it is badly needed) and would ultimately pay big divi- dends. HORSEFLY Blackbirds First Spring Arrivals For the last three days it has been snowing and raining, but on the 7th of March we heard a black bird tril- ling and warbling as if it were spring. A few more of its fellows joined it yesterday, so perhaps we will have an early spring after all.
