Due to the fact that Delaware is
this year entirely under quarantine

it was necessary to have inspection
points on roads along the border
line between Kent and Sussex
Counties. This year the only bord-
er line touching Delaware is the
part of the line separating Della
ware and Maryland on the west

the supervision of the Maryland

HOLD MEETING
ID. Herman Hettinger, of Els

for Next Year at Milford
III. r. BAKER SPEAKER

The annual meeting of the Offic-
ial Poultry Breeders and Hatchers
of Delaware, an association con-
sisting of the breeders and hatch
ers whose flocks are inspected and
bloodtested by the State Board OF
Agriculture, was held in the Com
munity Building, Milford, last
Wednesday evening. The newly
elected officers of the association
are as follows: President, D. Her
man Hettlnger, Elsmere, Whining
ton; Vice-President, Charles E.
Grove, Milford; -Treasur-
er, Warren c. Newton, Bridgeville;
Auditor, F. Thaddeus Warrington,

firing president; w. Wallace Col

ford; Frank B. Austin, Milford;
Elon Hitch, Laurel. Senator WV.
Steen, Dagsboro; Mrs. Jennie T.
Simpson, Milford, and George A.
Ely, Greenville, are also members
of the association. H. S. Palmer,
University of Delaware, Newark,
and w. G. Hatfield, State Board of
Agriculture, Dover, and Prof. H.R.
Baker, Poultry Pathologist of the
State Board Of Agriculture, were
present. Prof. Baker gave a re-
port on the latest developments in
the control of poultry diseases,
which included brief discussion
of his observations while in attend
ance at the Pullorum Disease Con
ference of Eastern States Labor
atory workers held at Cornell Uni
versity, Ithaca, N. Y. A brief re-
sumo of his report follows: A new
and very effective method of test
ing birds for Pullorum Disease (Ba-
cillary White Diarrheal, a disease
causing heavy losses in baby
chicks, has been developed by the
Animal Husbandry Division of the
United States Department Of Ag-
riculture in cooperation with the
various state poultry disease con
troll officials. Delaware is one of
the states that is using this new
method of detecting Pullorum Dis
eases carriers in poultry fiocks.
With this improved method it is
possible to detect the infected birds
within a short time after the blood
is drawn. The infected birds are
sold with the other poor producing
birds which are culled at the same
time the birds are blood-tested for
Pullorum Disease. Over $4,000
birds were blood-tested by the
State Board Of Agriculture during
the 1931-1932 breeding season.
Prof. Baker stated that recent ex-
periments have shown that keep
ing the temperature in the poultry
house around 100 F. to as high as
110 z. is the best method of con-
trolling Infectious Bronchitis in |
poultry at the present time Over |
10000 doses Of pox virus have been
distributed by the State BOARD Of
Agriculture to the poultrymen in
Delaware free of charge. Prof. |
Baker stated that the best time To |
vaccinate birds is between s to 10 |
weeks of age. The use of the box
virus controls pox, disease which |
causes heavy drop in egg produc-
tion and is often the forerunner of
roup and other more serious
troubles in the fall and winter
months when egg prices are high
est. The distribution of this vac /
cine has saved the poultrymen in
Delaware many thousands Of dol
lars.
