E. O. Anderson County Agent reports hog cholera outbreaks last fall with sixty two deaths on two farms and losses over 1100 from exposure. Vaccination saved hogs worth over 900, while delayed reporting spread the disease to nine farms and cost 1121. A distant farmer butchered exposed hogs to protect others. Vaccination shows promise though early action is crucial. Demonstrations planned to teach farmers how to vaccinate and prevent hog cholera this winter.
