ACCREDITING OF
POULTRY FLOCKS
(From Montana state College)

"TO MAKE hens lay more. and in this
way 10 make poultry production
4 more profitable for the farmers Of
Montana" is the ultimate aim and OBJ
jective of the poultry accrediting work
being carried on in the state, says Mis-
H. E. Cushman. poultry specialist fol
the Montana Extension service.
In the work which leads up to accred-
iting. advises the poultry specialist, the
flock must be carefully inspected and
each bird tested TO eliminate diseased
birds, those that are off-type and those
that are poor layers. A blood test is
made to determine the presence of ba-
eillary white diarrhea. An accredited
flock approaches high degree OF perfec-
ton.
The accrediting system has been tie
veloped in simply getting poultry pro-
duction down TO a sound, practical
scientific basis, says Miss Cushman. il
is a means OF removing the guess work
out of the poultry business.
In the dairy industry. tuberculosis
one of the most serious diseases affectlng
dairy cows, is being eliminated through
the tuberculin testing of all cows. In
creased production and herd improve
ment is being brought about through the
work of COW testing associations. In the
case OF poultry, these same purposes are
being accomplished through the accrea-
iting system, says Miss Cushman.
Neighboring states in many cases have
progressed much more rapidly in poultry
accrediting than has Montana, advises
the poultry specialist. In some cases
state regulations prohibit the importa-
ton of Matching eggs. baby chicks or
breeding stock from on-accredited
f1ocks.
The past year has seen start in ac-
ing year promises to be one OF increased
tana's poultry industry, according to the
specialist. Some fiocks were inspected
and tested on the Huntley project and
in Pondera county last year. Early this
month more than 800 birds were tested
in the Gallatin valley, resulting In the
accreditation of IA new fiocks. Poultry
growers in the vicinity of Big Timber.
Deer Lodge and Helena have applied for
inspection as soon as 1t is possible to
do the work.
The Importance of accrediting poultry
f1ooks was recognized at the agricultural
economic conferences held in the state
last winter, at each Of which 1t was rec
commended that farmers purchase their
poultry breeding stock from accredited
focks and hatcheries only. Since then a
number of large commercial chick hatch
cries have been established in the state
with many Of them looking forward to the
time when they can secure Matching eggs
from accredited flocks in surrounding
communities which In turn will enable
such hatcheries to comply with accredit-
ing regulations.

The spirit of the New Bedford

and others in the course of being
"framed-up,' have not settled
down.
Yesterday fourteen spinners quit
in disgust at the Nashawena Mill

to operate as against six operated
before the strike and sell-out by the

their places also quit when they dis

intensified solidarity will long en-

being put across?
Pemaquid operators, for instance,
have been forced to tend four sides
to the previous two. Spinners must
tend twenty-four frames in place
