IS NATURE ON STRIKE?
NEW THEORY FOR FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE, By Telegraph—Pres* Aeeeeiatfan — Ocn^yright Bydney “ Sun ~ Cable. (Received December 22, 8.10 p.m.) LONDON, December 20. At a Cheshire farmers’ meeting, Lord Crewe told pitiful stories regarding foot and mouth ravages. Tho meeting condemned wholesale slaughter as a failure, and urged isolation and research treatment instead. Sir Francis Flood, representing the Ministry of Agriculture, appealed to the farmers not to throw up the sponge, allowing th© disease the mastery. A farmer retorted, amid applause: ** The cures are worse than the disease.” A Welsh expert suggests that the disease, which is most severe among the dairy herds, is possibly due to the cows’ weakened vitality as the result of the advanced methods of obtaining a greater milk production. There has been a craze to produce cows giving 4000 gallons yearly.
