Threshing begins in restricted Macomb County area
In Macomb Illinois on October 4 threshing started in previously restricted county territory under new arrangements announced Saturday and ratified at Bushnell. Dr. Brown of Galesburg approved the plan requiring thorough fumigation of crews after each job with a state employee on each crew. Senator Compton championed the plan, which led to a committee visiting Governor Dunne to press the issue. Dr. Dyson was to be in Bushnell but illness sent Dr. Brown instead. Farmers gained permission to thresh under supervision but grain losses from unthreshed stock remain. A new foot and mouth case was found on Mrs. Alice Collins’s Bardolph area farm, with 48 cattle at that site and no further cases reported locally.
