Many wheat growers who have
wheat crop insurance policies may
be wondering what the status of
their insurance is as far as damage
by grasshoppers is concerned.
While the policy provides for in
surance against insect damage, &C
cording to the county agents Of
flee, it is necessary for growers to
cooperate in local grasshopper con-
troll campaigns. Needless to say
there are other insect damages
that may take place besides that
done by grasshoppers wherein no
control program is carried out. In
Stearns as well as numerous other
Minnesota counties. a grasshcpper
control program is being carried
out and wheat growers with poll
cies will find it necessary to CO.
operate with this program in order
to collect damage due to hoppers.
If after carrying out the control
program grasshopper damage oc-
ours, the losses will Of course be
paid.
Ninety-three 4-H members and
adult leaders from Stearns and
Meeker counties attended the 4-H
encampment at Lake Kcronis June

at the camp were from Stearns
county. This was the first attempt
on the part of the two counties to
run a joint camp. Previous to this

camp at the Morris Experiment
Station. The success CT this years
camp gave the extension leaders
confidence enough to schedule the

CT the adjoining counties will COM
bine with Meeker and Stearns to
make it still bigger encampment.

On several occasions the county
agents office at st. Cloud has ad-
vised the use of chick embryo vac
cine as a preventive against sleep
ing sickness. Already a large num-
Der CT Stearns county farmers have
vaccinated their horses, according
to the county agents office. At this
time a number of the precautions
as issued by the Horse and Mule
Association of America are being
called to the attention of horsemen
who will be vacinating with chick
embryo vaccine. These are as fol-
lows:
1. The chick embryo vaccine is
a protein tissue suspension vaccine
and deteriorates with age, even
when held in refrigeration.
2. 1t un dergoes detrimental
changes rapidly at temperatures of
70 degrees Fahrenheit or over.
3. 1t should be shipped to the
user as socn as possible after it
is made, and held at temperatures
close to 40 degrees F. while in ship
ment and until used. That means
refrigeration in transit, on arrival
and even while being transported
to the farm where used. Veterinar-
ians should use small refrigerators
or thermos jugs to carry the vac
cine in their cars.
4. Vaccination should be subcut-
aneous, Custunder the skim and
the first and second injections, 7
or 8 days apart, should be on OPP
poste sides of the neck. Good veter-
inarians shave the hair from the
neck at point of injections, and
wash skin with alcohol, then tine
ture of iodine, and use only sterile
needles. 81
Severe swelling, stiffness, and
abscess formation, are liable to oc-
cur if the second injection, = or
days after the first, is put in
ANYWHERE NEAR the site of the
first; hence be sure your veterin-
arian uses the opposite side of the
neck for the second shot.
8. Vaccination into the muscles
should not be done. The bad re-
suits mentioned in the first para
graph came from injection into the
breast muscles. the second shot be-
ing placed near the first and the,
