LONDON, January 10
The Daily ’Telegraph’s agricultural correspondent says : —An important pronouncement regarding foot and mouth disease has been issued by the Royal Agricultural Society that it is now a well-established fact that farming stock, in passing through the attack as a rule, acquire a degree of immunity sufficient to enable them to resist re-infection for ,at least one year. This has led to a sugestion that cattle might he protected by a process of vaccination. Experiments now show that the action of formalin •Tonverts the virus into a safe effective vaccine. The only remaining obstacle to its employment on a large scale is that, hitherto, it has been impossible to cultivate the virus artificially and thus to obtain the large quantity needed.
