MANY DISORDERS
OF FOWL FLOCK
Ailments Cause Serious Loss
to Poultry Owners.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture -WNU Service.
Preventive measures properly ap-
piled constitute the best means of
controlling poultry diseases and
parasites, says the United States
Department of Agriculture in Farm
ers' Bulletin 1652-F. Diseases and
Parasites of Poultry, just issued.
The publication describes the vari-
Gus diseases and parasites of do
meSticated birds, so the poultry own
er may recognize them and apply
the proper control method.
All kinds of poultry are suscep-
tible to diseases and parasites, most
of which cause serious loss to flock
owners who ignore the danger.
Among the precautionary measures
mentioned are the immediate sepa-
ration of sick birds from healthy
fiOcks, frequent removal of drop
pings, sanitation of feed and water
utensils, and the use of clean soil
in runways for both young and
old birds. Good diSinfectants de-
stroy the germs of contagious dis
eases, parasites such as mites. and
in some cases the eggs of parasitic
worms. AS the most severe dam
age from parasites occurs among
young birds, take special care to
protect them from infection.
Among the most serious poultry
diseases described in the bulletin
are bacillary white diarrhea of
young chicks and avian tuberculO-
sis which affects principally old
birds. Coccidiosis among young
chicks and blackhead of turkeys are
mentioned as important parasitic
diseases. Lice, mites, and worms
take heavy toll in many flOcks.
The publication discusses ailments
such as roup, colds. bronchitis, and
others resulting from exposure.
The bulletin is revision of and
supersedes a former Farmers Bull
letin entitled Diseases of Poultry.

POULTRY FACTS

Chicks from poor-laying strains
are expensive at any price.
Coccidiosis usually occurs in
young chicks from two to eight
weeks old.
Straw lofts provide poultry house
ventilation without drafts and with
a minimum loss of heat.
Keeping pullets in a house that
is hot and overcrOwded prevents
normal growth and development
and may cause disease.
The better the care. the feeding
and the condition heavy laying
flock is kept in. the better the COM
parative results will be.
All cockerels and undersized pull
lets should he removed from the
house so that the promising pull
lets will have more room.
Attention should be given pul-
lets during the summer as neglect
during this critical period will af-
feet their egg production perma.
nently.
Clean. wholesome feed and clean,
comfortable houses are essential if
pullets are to develop and lay n
great number of eggs in The early
fall when prices are high, says an
expert.
Fewer mistakes in culling hens
will be made when the flock has
been properly fed and the hens
given a chance TO lay as many
eggs as they are capable of pro
dUcinS.
Cleanliness in the runs is just as
essential as in the houses. Too
often the yards are overlooked. If
the runs are bare of vegetation they
should be scraped or raked often
enough to prevent them from get
ting filthy. Occasional spading is
advisable.
Chicks fed unlimited amounts of
a complete ration are likely to be
in good flesh when ready to be sold
as broilers. Poorly flesh birds
should get a special fattening ra-
ton for about two weeks before
selling time. A good mixture con-
sists of 100 pounds of cornmeal. 80
pounds of ground oatmeal, so
pounds of middlings, and 30 pounds
of meat scrap.

Tulane University as the college tennis
capital of the South
For two years the New Orleans school
has ruled Dixie's collegiate net .tourna-

Bayon as the key men of its squad. In
1929 and again in 1880 Sutter won the
Southern Conference singles title and
then paired with Bayou to capture the
doubles.
Both are in school this year, put
Bayou already has played his allotted
three years. Suffer is undecloeo as 70

not He may leave school at midterm,
as he has hopes of joining the DAVIS
Gun training squad. Suffer was ma
tional intercollegiate champion ana one
of the brightest young stars OF 1880.
Still short of the voting age, Grant
has been Southern amateur champion
for the past four years. He beat suit
ter in the finals in 1890. Brian, Sllgnt
vouth hardly more than 5 feet tall and
weighing but 100 pounds, is a sopho-
more at the Tarheel school this year

competition. .,..-
And Just a step behind him in ability
is Wilmer Hines, 18 years old and with
several seasons of brilliant juvenile ten

Last year Grant won the national
clay court singles, while Hines won the
national junior singles. Both are eX-

Most of the college stars who have
dominated the Dixie play for the past
several seasons have passed on, and 1t
appears that a new crop OF contenders
will come into prominence this year:
Among those finishing their college
careers last year were Donald Cram OF

Then something went wrong with
the centers, so Fesler was dropped
into the middle ring, and although
not exceptionally tall he is getting
his share of the taps. Fesler is a

altogether just as much of star
on the court as he was on the
gridiron.
Fesler. also is one of Ohio's best
base ball players, working equally
we'll on the infield or the outer
gardens The only reason he has
not won letters in track and tennis
