President and Gentlemen of the Board of Agri- culture : In most lines of veterinary control Avork we have made gratifying progress during the past year. The losses in sheep through contagious dis- eases have been comparatively light. The number of cases of glanders outside of Kansas City were phenominally low. We made good progress in tuberculosis eradication work considering our limit- ed force. This Department, however, was unable to accomplish anything at all by way of controlling hog cholera, and did not get satisfactory results in the eradication of Texas fever ticks in southern Missouri Dr. D. F. Luckey. SCABIES. During the year there were thirty-seven shipments of sheep and six of cattle affected with scabies from this State to the public markets. Reports indicate quite an extensive outbreak of scabies among sheep in the range in the western part of Camden county. For the lack of funds we have been unable to take charge of this outbreak. As soon as possible we will cause all of the diseased sheep to be rounded up and kept in close confinement until they are properly dipped and cured. FOOT-ROT. There were only four shipments of sheep from this State affected with foot-rot reported. There is no indication that there will be any serious loss from this disease. LIP AND LEG DISEASE. There were only three shipments of sheep affected with lip and leg disease from this State during the past year. The statutes of the State forbid the importation of sheep affected wdth any contagious disease. Many requests were received for permission to ship sheep from the west- ern ranges, where lip and leg disease is quite prevalent, to be fed in.
