Poultry Spreads
TB In Hog Droves

Midwestern farmers today were
reminded that eradication of tub
erculosis from swine droves de-
pends largely upor ccntrol of
poultry flocks.
About 80 percent CT all swine
tuberculosis cases arise from con-
tact with infected poultry, reports
the American Foundation for An
imal Health.
Midwestern farmers have q
particularly difficult situation, the
bulletin said, because chickens are
commonly given the run of the
farm in this area and tuberculosis
germs can survive in the soil for
long periods of time.
Although the number of infect
ed hog carcsess rejected at
slaughter houses has been cut
hack some 36 percent during the
last 25 years." the Foundation
points out, more than five per
cent of the rejected carcasses ex-
amined still show tuberculosis
LESSONS.
THE best farm preventive mea-
sures are good poultry house sani-
tation and culling of older birds
While younger birds may contract
tuberculosis, they seldom tra..s-
nit it to hogs"
Maintenance of an ali-pullet
flock not only is good protection

The Ohio Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton began this week to poll its

whether they favor keeping the
present farm law or want the
Brannan Plan enacted.
Everett F. Rittenour, Piketor,

There is great interest among
farmers in securing a sound farm
program and we want to know if
they favor the Agriculture Act of
1949, or wish it amended, or re-
pealed," Rittenour said.
The Farm Bureau Advisory
Council Guide for May is Build

up on the schedule next Sunday
April 30) when the Nationa.

kiner, leads the swashbuckline
Pittsburg Pirates into the Red
leg homeland.
It will be the initial Cincinnati
appearance for Handsome Ralph,
whom the Smoky City tub-thump-
ers are touting for a record home
run year. All of which means, the
Pirate die-hards are publicly 9>-
claiming that kiner now is ready
to smash the fabulous home-run
record of the immortal Babe Ruth.
At that, Big Ralph did come pretty
close last season when he posted
a total of 54 four-masters.
Redleg tans never have seen
Kiner at his best since Crosley
Field has been the one stumbling
block on his home-run parade
around the circuit If he is to
break Ruths record, he'll have to
break his Crosley Field jinX and
from that standpoint alone, tbs
upcOming series between the Reds
and Pirates promises to be highly
interesting. That series opens this
Saturday with Ladies Day
afternoon game at 2 o'clock.
The powerful Eastern clubs
make thir first swing through
Crosley Field the week of May l.
Leading the parade will be Leo
Durocher's New York Giants who
are booked for night game on
Tuesday, May ? which will launch
a set of ten games the Reds will
play with the Eastern clubs n
ten days.
Highlights of that stretch will
be night games with the Boston
Braves on Friday, May 5; the
Philadelphia Phillies on Monday,
May 8 and the Brooklyn Dodgers
on Wednesday, May 10. Another

EASY WAY TO GET
RID OF YOUR LAND

Agricultural Extension Service
specialists at Ohio State Univer-
sity are chuckling over the latest
recipe developed by someone for
the man who is tired of farming
and wants to get rid of his land.
Here's the recipe:
Cut one medium-sized farm in
to irregular pieces.
Stir the thin layer of topsoil
frequently until the soil particles
are ready to be carried off by the
next hard rain. Carefully work the
land up and down the slope SO the
burrows will form waterways for
rapid disposal of excess water and
soil. Keep doing this until the
hardpan shows through on the
hilltops and slopes.
Then cut into deep, irregular
gullies and leave out in the sun
to bake. When done, season with
an unpainted house, broken-down

debate within 81 days after being
requested to do so.
No Priority Today, However.
The 21-day rule operates only
on the second and fourth Mon.
days of the month, however, and
Mr.. Rayburn said Saturday that
priority was held by the relatively
non-controversial bill from Mr.
KEGS committee. It had been
called up under the rule last
October 10, but the House put ii
aside without acting.
The West Virginia Congressional
delegation generally is favorably
disposed toward FEPC legislation,
and 1t was thought Mr.. KEGS de-
cision not to press for compile
tion of debate on the international
organization bill today might be
traceable in part to an unwilling
ness to block any chance FEPC
might have had to reach the floor.
Mr.. Rayburn pointed out. how
ever. that several other bills were
eligible to be called up today under
the 21-day rule. After, learning
Mr.. KEGS decision, he said, he
turned to the National Science
Foundation Bill, another admin
istration measure.

Committee forced him to change
his mind again, he said.
