FouNoATioN FOR ANIMAL HEALTH

against disease carriers, and one
of the best precautions is to keep
old birds separated from the young
flock.
Many of the common diseases
of poultry confer a permanent
immunity if the bird lives through
the attack. In some cases, individ-
ual birds recover as far as out
ward appearances are concerned
but continue to carry the infection.
and can pass it on to others.
These carriers, of course, are
found mostly among the older
birds. Typical of the serious
diseases often spread by carriers
are laryngotracheitis, Newcastle
disease, coccidiosis, infectious cory
"a, roup, cholera, pullorum disease,
fowl typhoid, fowl pox, tubercu-
losis and leucosis.
Segregation of old birds from
young ones t roughout the year
is a good general practi e, and 1t
must be accomplished by other
precautions. A veterinarians ad-
vice should be obtained on how
best to combat these diseases and
how to disinfect the premises after
an outbreak.
In case of fowl pox, vaccination
is an effective safeguard. If a
severe outbreak occurs, it may be
advisable to slaughter affected
birds. In any event, the well and
ailing birds should be separated
and other sters should also be
taken as required. Laryngotrac-
heitis may also be prevented by
proper vaccination. Constant cul-
ling of unfit birds, 365 days a year,
Is one of the most effective pro-
cedures flock owner can exercise.

Chamber Given
Data on Richland
Business Growth

The Kennewick chamber OF
commerce was invited this week
to acquaint its members with
the plan for commercial expan-
sion in Richland.
General Electric officials will
select commercial opera tor S
through an invitation to bid, bas-
ing rentals on a percentage of
gross sales. Experience, trade con-
nections, character and financial
resources will be factors consid-
cred in choosing operators.
A total of LOT new commercial
facilities are contemplated in the
Atomic City. The growing town
will have two business districts,
located about mile apart.
The peak population of the
city, during the first period of
production, was reached in the
winter of 1946-47, when there
were between Is and 16 thousand
residents.
1t is now anticipated that the
permanent Rich1and population
will be between 25 and 26 thous
and by July l, 1949. The temper
airy construction camp, establish
ed in North Richland, now has a
population of approximately 49,
500, which may remain at its
present level for from two to
three years, declining to zero by
1858.
Additional information will be

He said he had even thought OF
digging holes in the road so cars
would have to slow down on the
