,Stanga Declares Urges
Prompt Vaccunation
Of Hog.
Ames, la , Oct. 14 That the prcs
rat epidemic of hog cholera in la
in more serious than most people
think and that thrre will be a greater
Outbreak- if belter control measures
. arc not taken at oner, is the opinion
cf C. II. Stajige. dean of the division
'of veterinary medicine at Iowa Stale
college.
''Protect wur herd Itirfore cholera
rts there.'' is the admonition of
Dean Stunge, Many farmers due to
the tightness of money and low mar
ket prices have become careless and
have not vaccinated. With propel
care and vacriisition under proper
methods- the hum will be reasonably
( safe from the disease, says Dean
, .Stanfte.
According to Dean Slangc, who has
made a . study of the history and
progress of tlac disease iu the state.
hog cholera appears to run in cycles
from 10 to 15' years apart. In 1897
a Rreat oytbrcaJc of cholera occurred'
'with a loss of over 320 head of hogs
. per 1.000 swine population. Again in
1913. II yrirs 'after the other out
' break had been halted, another epi
demic occurred with nearly as dis
astrous results. From a close analy
sis oi uie course 'Ot the disease and
' of specially prepared graphs, Dean
Stange has deduce! that the urescnt
'outbreak jniay.be the , forerunner of
another tm nous epidemic! .
5ince IV18 hos cholera has been on
the increase in the state. Last year
Jpwa lost 261, (MM) hogs, about 26 per
-fiit ot the state s hog population.
, Present indication are that this loss
,'will be exceeded in I21 unless ade
quate precautious are taken to con
' tro the disease. ' ' . N
: Certain sections of the tfalo appear
yjo sutler trom the ravages of cholera
,more heavily than others. Plymouth
, county last year . was the heaviest
loser in the state. 9,850 hogs dying
irom cholera. Sioux. Jasper and
v Hardin counties also suffered heavy
t losses. Allamakee and Ringgold coun
ties lest" the minimum number iti'the
state. 'Keiiorts from the above sec
tions of the state indicate that the
'disease, is progressing in about the
; same proportinns'.with a large num-
bcr of counties suffering heavy
losses.
