H. B. 429, by Messrs. Romero and Mann, authorizing the governor to quarantine airainst Texas and other states in order to stamp out the foot and mouth' disease, passed unanimously. This will enable New" Mexico to eveji will) Texas' or declar ing a quarantine against NewMexico alfalfa which has worked a great hardship on Mesilla and l'ecos valley It would seem from the above that Texas authorities were playing peanut nolitics in an endeavor to force up the price of alfalfa raised in Tex-as.

If the consumers can. stand it the farmers of New Mexico can get along. But, the most unreasonable and cont.etnpUUe feature of the quarantine is th'j effect it. has on l'ecos valley fa-mers Who cannot sell to Texas or any place on earth for it is impossible to ship out of this part of New Mexico without going through some part, ofTcxas. Hay might be 'shipped to Louisiana or other places in the South if jt were not for quarantine-in Texas, which is not to be censured for prohibiting the influx of deseased cattle but the shipment of hay across a portion" -of Texas from a section that has already quarantined against the foot and mouth disease can do no more to spread disease than the shipment of hay from the western portion to the training in team work.
