These figures indicate tbat the dog law of 1921 is operating successfully and with agents ot the bureau of animal industry active in the field it is probable that at least 50,000 additional licenses will be issued before the end ot the present year. During the first six mouths of this year there were 487 claims presented to th«» department ot agriculture, grow ing out of damages inflicted ou livestock and poultry by dogs. The sum of $13,815 was expended in settlement of these claims.
