Nowhere has the feeling of dissatisfaction been more in e,.denee than in the province of Q.:r"ec. I sometimes won- der whether residents of that province, understandably pre- occupied with their own spe- cial problem, realize that they are by no means alone in their quarrel w.rh, the present shape of Confederation. Their strong views can inspire or stimulate a "me -toe" attitude in other regions of the country.

Potential blackleg outbreaks are almost always present. Only constant vigil- ance to see that every calf is carefully vaccinated keeps blackleg from taking a disastrous toll of deaths. If vaccination against blackleg is practised extensively, the blackleg germs that infest most cattle areas seldom get to do their deadly work. Why take chances?
