REPORT FOR NOVEMBER. 



Honolulu, Hawaii, December 6, 1918. 



Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry, Honolulu. 



Gentlemen : — I beg to submit herewith my report on the 

 work of the Division of Animal Industry for the month of No- 

 vember, 1918. 



LIVE STOCK SANITARY LAWS. 



Before proceeding with the revision of the rules and regula- 

 tions pertaining to the control of diseases of animals within the 

 Territory, it was deemed advisable to secure up to date data 

 on this class of work in the various states and territories of the 

 country. 



The immense progress which recent years have witnessed in 

 the perfection, application and manufacture of various kinds 

 of serum and vaccine, and the amplification of preventive meas- 

 ures with a better knowledge of the nature and cause of nearly 

 all transmissible diseases have caused a majority of the States to 

 revise their live stock sanitary laws as well as to provide means 

 for their enforcement. 



A circular letter, enclosing a copy of our recently revised live 

 stock importation rules, was therefore addressed to all State 

 veterinarians or live stock sanitary boards, requesting copies of 

 the laws, rules and regulations under which they are operating. 



It is a pleasure to state that satisfactory replies were received 

 promptly from all of them together with an amount of live stock 

 sanitary literature which it has been difficult to peruse and 

 classify. 



As these various .live stock sanitary statutes of the several 

 States contain many valuable suggestions, some of which might 

 to advantage be incorporated into our laws, we have found the 

 time too short to formulate recommendations, but expect to 

 have the same ready for the next meeting of the Board. 



Very respectfully, 



Victor A, Norgaard, 

 Territorial Veterinarian.
