Show CALIFORNIA DUCKS PUT IN !:, QUARANTINE : I Dr. Arthur Vance Holds Up 1 Shipment of Ducks From Coast State. j The first shipment of animals to f arrive in Provo from California since the establishment of qua ran- i ; tine order to prevent the spreading ! ! of the dreaded foot and mouth dis- ' ease which is now raging in several 1 ; counties of the coast state, was a ; shipment of ducks which arrived at E , the Provo postoffioe Monday. The ducks, which were consigned ' to A. A. Holdaway, were held up at ( , the postoffice by Dr. Arthur Vance, j j local veterinarian, who had instruc- , , tions from the office of the state veterinarian vet-erinarian to dip Ihem in an official ! disinfectant and place thorn in qnar- j antine. j ' i "Alihough the ducks wore shipped j j from Los Angeles county where the i foot and mouth disease does not j exist at present, X'tah is taking ab- ; solutely no chances with this most dreaded live stock disease," said Dr. i Vance. , ; "Through the efficient work of , the veterinarians handling this dis- , I ease in California it has been con- ; fined to five counties only in that I J state. It is my opinion that all i ; orders for live stock, grain, forage. t " ; hair, pelts or anything that might i . ; carry the disease should bo cancelled ' I until all dnimer is past and the J '. quarantine has been lifted. 1 "It is impossible for the vet- r erinarians alone to guard all (he j avenues through which this disease , might be transmitted. The public must assist. It may scorn a hard- ! ship on some people that are not : permitted to get their baity chicks or t L other livestock which has been or- i. j dered, but if they realize the loss : that would be sustained shoui1' disease come here th I b t more satisfied with- j quarantine. v14 ' "The outbreak of mo'nu disease in the United Slare"s in 1014 spread to il states before it was :' finally stamped out."
