Excerpt from Third Biennial Report of the Department of Agriculture of the State of Washington to the Governor: July 1, 1916, to June 30, 1918 It is urgently recommended that provision be made for six veterinarians on this force instead of three, as heretofore. Our recommendation would be to divide the state into five veterinary districts; these doctors working from a home base would be less expensive to the state than heretofore, because they would have no expense account when in their home towns. The idea of having the sixth man is to use him where most needed and in special emergencies. The advantage of having men assigned to definite districts is, that they will be in closer touch with livestock sanitary conditions, and better able to prevent the introduction and spread of such diseases as sheep scab, hog cholera, glanders, and any other contagious or infectious animal disease that might be introduced in any portion of the state. They could also assist in the enforcement of stallion registration and licenses. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
