PIGEONS LIBERATED IN MISSOURI
FLY BACK TO THEIR OREGON HOME

From Missouri to Pendleton is the
long flight made by four homing pig
cons that are now upon the l.. G.,
Pell ranch on Birch creek. 1t is a
distance of 1000 miles and the flight
stands almost as a record breaker.
The following story from the
Whitesville. Mo. Banner tells of the
long flight made by the pigeons and
how the facts came to be known:
Some six weeks ago n. q Rodeck-
er received four homer pigeons from
Mrs. L. c. Pell, a fancier at Pendle-
ton. Oregon. Rodecker turned them
loose and that is the last he saw of
them. After making inquiries from
pigeon owners in the neighborhood
and failing to locate them. he decided
keeping pigeons that wouldn't stay at
bone was poor business and gave W
The hunt. Lately he wroe Mrs. Pell
about his bad luck and instead of a
letter of coincidence was vastly sur.
prised to learn that his birds were

Lytle sent in an order for cultures
several weeks ago but the order was
not filled until few days ago because
the Chicago bacteriologists wished
first to ascertain whether or not 9TH
er animals could contract the disease.
1t was found that. aside from the rab-
bit, the house cat was the only animal
susceptible and that that animal was
not affected fatally.
DIR. Lytle has no great homes that
he can introduce the disease among
the umatilla county rabbits to any
extent at this time, even should the
bacilli prove to be as fatal as repre-
sented. At this time of the wear the
rabbits are scattered over the fields,
the green alfalfa affording them plen-
ty of food. The logical time to in
troduce n disease, he states is earlier
when the little animals congregate in
great numbers around alfalfa stacks.
An affected animal introduced am
ong them would cause the contagion
to spread rapidly.
DR.. Lytle will bring a number of
rabbits home with him and will ex-
pertinent with them here to deter
mine how effective is the virus.

MIA which must be met and that Aslat-
