of the Virginia State Live Stock Sanitary Board, and the Hon. 

 J. A. Turner of Hollins, as these two members were sent to Rich- 

 mond by the Board to co-operate with the Governor, the U. S. 

 Bureau of Animal Industry, and the State Veterinarian. 



When it is remembered that the members of the State Live 

 Stock Sanitary Board do not get one dollar's pay for their ser- 

 vices, the people are obliged to appreciate the time given, and ser- 

 vices rendered, by these members upon such occasions as we experi- 

 enced during the months of January. February, and March, in 

 1915,, when changes in the regulations were being made every few 

 days, to meet the U. S. Government requirements affecting inter- 

 state shipments, to accommodate our business people commercially, 

 and last, but not least, to protect the State of Virginia against any 

 further danger of the spread of Foot and Mouth Disease among 

 its live stock. 



In this connection. I desire to say that Dr. Henry Marshall, 

 inspector in Charge of the Richmond branch of the U. S. Bureau 

 of Animal Industry, was most loyal and untiring in his efforts to 

 assist the Live Stock Sanitary Board in its work. In fact the 

 Governor, the Board, and the State Veterinarian, not only feel 

 that Virginia was fortunate in having the assistance of Dr. Mar* 

 shall, but that the U. S. Bureau is to be congratulated on Inning 

 him in charge of their local branch here.
