The afternoon session opened with an interesting paper by Dr. D. M. Campbell of Chicago, who has been making a special study of government veterinary work. Dr. Campbell said that i'-'re are 9.000 privates and 1,505 otliccrs of the veterinary corps now in active service, a little over half of the number authorized, and arrange ments are heinj? made to call more. These men safeguard the health of sthe horses and mules and inspect the ineat supplies, making bad meat scan dals an impossibility in this war. He stated that meat is being shipped to Jiurope now at the rate of 2,000 pounds a minute. ; Dr. W. Horace Hoskins of New York City spoke of the patriotic duty of the veterinarians left in civil life ;and advocated their working without iees in cases whijre stock raisers re fused to take prompt action to save 'the stock. ! Dr. A. W. French, state veterinarian rt Wyoming and authority on bovine ,;uberculosis, delivered a technical pa jper on tuberculin tests. Profiteering Discussion Omitted. ' The reply to the profiteering accu sation of county agents recently pub lished was given by Dr. G. H. jGlover pf Fort Collins, Colo. Dr. ijlover advocates co-operation and (:ommon sense. He stated that there ; vas no sense in calling names. In Colorado things are peaceful and the ounty agents, according to Dr. Glov :r, do not care to make errand boys )f themselves, doing everything from ringing home twine for the farmers :o doctoring a sick calf. They turn over cases requiring veterinary care to the veterinarian, who is trained for this work. The county agent direc tor who insists on his men doing work they do not understand, Dr. Glover characterized as a quack, but he believes these are few and would be less if there were a better under standing btween parties. Discussion on this paper was put over until morn ing. In the evening I. C Rrenn-r whn has just returned from a six months! trip to fhe cantonments of the coun try, gave a lantern slide lecture on veterinary conditions in the army camps, .patriotic speeches followed.

"There is more harmony evidenced this year among serum manufacturers than ever before," said Mr. Bowding. ton. "Shortage of labor and pigs have made it impossible to fill the demand for serum in our busy season, which is at this season of the year. As our plants and all our product must be government inspected, and the gov ernment finds it difficult to obtain suf ficient inspectors, this is another dif ficulty serum men have to face." The Missouri Valley veterinarians, also in session at the Rome hotel, list ened to an address Tuesday morning by Dr. A. Eichorn. of New York, for merly government biologist. He spoke on "The Control of Important Infec tious Diseases in the Conservation of Our Live Stock," and dwelt especial ly upon war conditions and the meat industry.

Stockmen Report Drouth Becoming Serious in State Reports from stockmen from dif ferent sections of the country indicate that the effects of the long continued dry weather is being viewed with con siderable alarm by farmers and feed ers. Many are hesitating to place an order for feeder cattle, owing to the shortage of pasture, and the extremely light hay crops in many parts of the stock raising country. The territory in north central Nebraska is probably in better condition than in any other section of the state, it is said. Sev eral counties have reported that the crops will be far below the average even if the drouth was broken now, while others report that immediate rain in sufficient quantity would insure a fair crop. Government Improves Wire Service to Stockmen South Side stockmen are highly pleased with the change made by the government Monday in regard to the wiring of market reports from Chi cago.

Beginning Monday, the gov ernment will furnish a 9 o'clock wire, which will bring necessary informa tion for early transactions on this market, stockmen say.
