Barttm or the Utah Department' of Agriculture presented to County Commissioner Hans Chamber-lai- n a certificate designating Kane County as a Certified Brucellosis free area. The cattlemen present were told that Kane County is'the third county in the west to be so designated as Free of Brucellosis. The dedicated efforts of Mr. Carl Hatch, County Agent, along with the support of the County Commissioners and the cooperation of the cattlemen has made this certificate possible. The cattle industry are not the only ones that receive material benefit from the fact that this area is declared to be free of brucellosis. The more areas to become completely free, and the less infection in any group of animals means that there is less possibility to contact undulant fever. fever in man is a very serious malady and is one that poses severe consequences on those infected. The 1961 Utah legislature failed to appropriate sufficient funds for the Department of Agriculture to continue the program to completely erradicate brucellosis frem our state. As a result, the department can only now furnish vaccine to licensed veterinarians who will then administer this at owners expense. The United States Department of Agriculture will continue to do all of the blood testing throughout the state without any expense to the owner. The cattlemen will be required to assume the responsibility for calfhood vaccination The herd surviellance method of market testing will materially assist in maintaining Kane County as a Certified Brucellosis Free Area.

Ktmh e , -- - Dixis Forest To Host Deer Healers More than 20,000 deer hunters roamed the Dixie National Forest and adjacent areas in quest of deer last fall, and this season the number may be even larger. Forest Supervisor Jack Shumate said today. The nimrods will have plenty of room for action, regardless nearly 6 million acres within and adjacent to the Dixie National Forest in Southern Utah. Furthermore, they can expect real success if last years figures are any indication. The take last year was over 20,000 deer. Hunting on National Forest land is regulated by State Fish and Game authorities. Seasons, bpg limits and other hunting regulations are set by individual states. Mr. Shumate said that the Forest Service manages wildlife habitat, and that hunting fits harmoniously into the overall pattern of multiple-us- e management on the National Fbrests. For example, camping and picnicking facilities, used by recreationists during the summer, accommodate armies of hunters each fall. The Forest Supervisor reported that the fire season has been mild thus far, but warned that danger still exists. Thousands of hunters and continuing warm, dry weather can combine to spell disaster, he said, and urged caution with campfires, matches, cigarettes, and fire in any form. The Dixie National Forest invites sportsmen hunting in unfamiliar country to contact Ranger Stations in the area for maps, information on roads, and trails, and for other directions.
