Bill McKechnie says OF the
league-leading Chicago Cubs:
"They can be caught. Frankly
I don't tab them as a stand

infield defense is strong, but I
don't like their pitching"

Kechnie is manager Of the fifth

Clark Griffith, who very recently
said of the YankS:
"They amt a good ball club;
why, a little bad luck and they'd
crack to pieces"
You've got to be patient with
fellows like Griff and McKechnie

ILLS,
FARM CONCERN
Many Baby Chicks Die Un-
necessarily From
Diseases
EXTENSION GIVES AID

Many baby chicks die unneces-
sarily from Pullorum Disease or
Bacillary White Diarrhea each
year, says Fritz Leuschner, Exten-
sion Poultryman at the University
of Delaware, who points out that
means for preventing this disease
have been known for several years.
Elimination of the carriers of
Pullorum infection from the breed
ing flock as determined by blood
test or the purchase of chicks from
stock free of the disease is the
proper method to clear the flock of
the disease" Leuschner said. A
poultryman may, after some in
struction, make blod tests of his
flock himself. The test used on
the farm is the so-called whole
blood rapid test. While it is not
as accurate as the laboratory test,
its use will do much to reduce the
amount of infection, and prepare
the flock for final testing with the
standard tube test. Flocks under
the official supervision of the State
Board of Agriculture are tested at
a nominal cost by the standard
tube test in their laboratories at
Dover. During the past season
over 100000 breeders were official
ly blod tested. Only focks show
ing less than per cent infection
were accepted for supervision. The
average infection in the f1ocks used
by the hatcheries under supervi-
sion was 0.6 per cent with 108
flocks free of the diseashe. A
booklet is prepared each year by
the Poultry Disease Laboratory
which contains the poultry stand
ardization plan and list of the
Delaware hatcheries and breeding
fiocks officially culled and blood
tested. This booklet can be OBJ
tanned by writing to the State
Board of Agriculture. Nearly all
hatcheries advertise blood tested"
chicks, but the baby chick buyer is
advised to ascertain what method
of blood testing was used, who did
the blood testing and the amount
of infection found in the breeders.
Also hatcherymen should not hatch
eggs from a Pullorum clean source
in incubators with eggs from flocks
in which there were reactors to The
test because Pullorum clean chick
ems exposed to the disease are
highly susceptible and the loss
may be very heavy. THE poultry
nina usually finds, Leuschner said,
that the survivors of an outbreak
of Pullorum Disease or Bacillary
White Diarrhea cost him more
than good chicks from a clean
source would have cost him origin
ally. Moreover, re pointed out,
infected chicks can spread the dis
ease to chicks from a clean source,
for some of the survivors of the
outbreak become carriers and per-
petuate the infection if used as
breeders"
