have focks that are free from taint
Both the young chicks and eggs will
be in greater demand and no stat,
could be likely to produce more ad
vantages or attractions to those seel
ing eggs and poultry than coulC
Delaware, once the state acquires
the reputation for having pure breC
flocks of chickens.
"And it can be done" said DR.
Hare, with the proper cooperation
The one thing 1 would like to see
most accomplished here would be
such a condition. I mean certified
aocks free from taint. That would
put Delaware as much on the map
as far as things go commercially as
anything else, and that is what
hope I shall see come about"
Will Do Animal Husbandry Work
DR.. Hare while a native of Mis-
souri, is a graduate of the Kansas
Agricultural College and for the past
two years has been doing graduate
work at Cornell with particular en-
phasis on diagnoses tests. After the
war from 1920 to 1922 he was chief
Of the Bureau of Animal Industry for
the United States government in
San Domingo and in addition to
looking after poultry diseases here
will also cooperate and aid in every
way in diseases that may attack
hogs, horses, cattle and farm ami
mails. His experience in so many
fields will prove invaluable in his
work in Delaware.
"The thing which the Delaware
poultry raisers want to look out for
the most is the fowl pest" said DR..
Hare. Last winter there was a quar-
antine on poultry because of this all
ment and because it acts almost in
simultaneously, the danger is graver. !
Fowls attacked with the European
owl pest seldom survive many hours
lfter once being attacked. There is
10 known remedy for the disease up
o this time and for that reason its
menace is greater than anything else
Released by Accident
According to DR.. Hare the disease
scaped in this country for expert
nents being made by well known
Xperts in poultry diseases. Some of
he virus if the disease was import
d last fall to this country for scien-
ltlc examination and experimental
york. One of the men thus engaged
gave some of it to an
mployee to take home and try out
some old chickens, never think
lg that some of these fowls might
pread the disease to other f1ocks.
'hlch is just what happened. Now,
very poultry expert and pathoIogist
the country is working in spare
loments to isolate the germ if there
one. so that some specific remedy
ay be found for it. I
