§ Sir F. WISEasked the Minister of Agriculture what countries have suffered from foot-and-mouth disease since January, 1924?
§ Mr. BUXTONComplete information is not available, but from such reports as my Department receives it would appear that, with the exception of Norway and the States of Esthonia and Latvia, foot-and-mouth disease has existed since 1st January last, and still exists generally throughout European countries. It exists also in Algeria, but South Africa is free. The extent of the disease in Asia is not accurately known, but outbreaks certainly have occurred in Turkey. In North468W America, California is affected, and it would probably be safe to say that the disease is prevalent through the South American Continent.
