Des Moines to Hear Protest Over Cattle Quarantine
Iowa lawmakers from six quarantine counties plan to meet to decide on action regarding hoof and mouth restrictions. Delegations urged Governor Clarke and the executive council to act as federal sales bans in Jones, Jackson, Clinton, Johnson, Towns, and Cedar counties persist until after the last case. State veterinarian Dr J I Gioson, whose 60 day quarantine was cut to 30 days, is to present relief suggestions. Representative Peterson of Cedar plans to seek a bill expanding health bureau powers to allow sales, as most restrictions except farm sales have been lifted. Farmers face hardship from stock selling bans.
