We all have our limitations, but
few of US realize when we have
reached them.
The average American is a
peculiar individual. An obstacle
may seem mountain high to him,
but he has an inherent objection
to acknowledging that it is insur.
mountable. The apparently i'm
possible only whets his deter.
mination to conquer.
Perhaps it is just as we'll that
limitations do not bother us. We
are not afflicted with the doubts
and uncertainties and vacillation
that retard the progress of some
countries. We accomplish our
tasks while many peoples are de.
batting their possibility. Il

MORE AID TO POULTRY RAISERS
Laboratory of University of Delaware
is Open to Poultry Owners in the State

Laboratory of University of Delaware
is Open to Poultry Owners in the State
Delaware poultrymen are losing on
an average of $150,000 a year as a re-
suit of various poultry diseases. This
estimate is made by DIR. Charles C.
Palmer and Professor E. R. Hitchner,
of the meteorological department of
the University of Delaware, Newark
after thorough investigation of poul
try conditions in the state. They have
just issued a bulletin on the subject
which should be of value to poultry
raisers in the state. Diseases that are
causing the most damage according to
the bulletin are roup, infestious cold
and chicken pox. These diseases have
caused severe losses in many large
flocks. DIR. Palmer and his assistants
however, have been able to check the
spread of the diseases when notified
in time, with a vaccine specially pre-
pared at the university laboratory.
Other diseases that DR.. Palmer reports
as prevalent among the poultry fiocks
in Delaware are, Timber Neck, or
Botulism, White Diarrhea "Blackhead"
or Enterohepatitis, tuberculosis, Ty-
phoid and other miner diseases. The
university laboratory DR.. Palmer says
is at the service of poultry owners in
the state in assisting to check out
breaks with the vaccine. One handicap
in the experiment work that has been
carried on to date is the lack of suffi-
cient healthy birds to experiment with.
The university funds will not permit
of the purchase of a large flock for
this purpose and DR.. Palmer is hope
full that poultry raisers of the state
will assist him in getting a flock by
contributing bird or two apiece.
