Maryland VIEW Asks
Bonus for Veterans
by The Associated Press

OCEAN CITY, Md, June as
The Maryland Department Of the
Veterans Of Foreign Wars today
was on record for a State bonus
for veterans as the 3lst annual en-
|campment was concluded.
A maximum figure Of $500 was
placed in the resolution which
urged the bonus be paid to "aIl
eligible veterans" The action was
taken yesterday.
A past commander Of the de-
|partment. Charles B. Buscher Of
Silver Spring. made the motion
calling for the action.
The opposition was headed by
Richard E. Cullen of Salisbury
chairman Of the legislative COM
|mittee.
Mr.. Cullen said, I'VE Americans
should not take action now because
the State cannot afford it at this
time"
But Buscher told the 500 dele
gates they would be 'remiss. il
they did not pass the resolution
He argued that it was proper for
veterans to unite for their own
interests just as other groups do
I'VE must be interested in our
selves. You can walk down the
street and talk to many non-vet-
Grams and they have no idea OF
what is going on in Korea" he
said.
Albert w. Styles of Arbutus was
elected State commander.

LUKE. Md, June 25.-One OF

troll the flow in the upper Poto-

The Savage River dam, started
in 1899 as a WPA project, is ex-

summer. It will form q noun

spring and fall floods and allow
the water to be gradually re-

months to maintain an even flow
in the Potomac's North Branch.

Maryland Bar Group
Seeks District Court
Position for Member

Representatives of the Mary
land Bar Association have started
q drive to put one of their number
on the District Court bench to
succeed the late Judge T. Alan
Gold sborough.
Judge Goldsborough was q ma
tive of the Eastern Shore Of Mary
land and formerly was a member
of the Maryland delegation In
the House and it is understood
that the Maryland lawyers are
basing their appeal for representa-
ton on the local bench on the
basis Of Judge Goldsborough's
background.
Attorney General McGrath adj
dressed the Maryland Bar Associa-
ton in Atlantic City Saturday
night and the question of the
judgeship was preached to him at
that time. it was learned.
Justice Department officials
would not discuss the matter to-
day. The only word forthcoming
on a successor to Judge Colds
borough was that the Department
has not made any recommends
ton to the White House.
Under ordinary circumstances
bench candidates are submitted to
the Justice Department where
they are sifted and sent to the
White House for action with
whatever recommendation the At
torney General sees At to make.
AS is usually the case. whel,
there are vacancies In the local
court, a large number Of names
are figuring in the early specula-
ton, but it was considered reason
ably certain that President Tru-
man will go slow in reaching a
decision.
With the court not getting back
on full schedule until October it
is understood that officials feel
that there is plenty of time for
selection

Don't Mix Turkeys, Chickens
Control BEackhead By Running Atvay
From the Sources of Infection
By DR. HOWARD WEIGH
Veterinary Department

THIRTY YEARS AGO, maybe
longer, the 35th turkey that formed
the center of attraction ON tbs
Thanksgiving day table of the presi-
dent was contributed by some tur-
key growers from Long Island, New
Jersey, Connecticut or some New
England point. Then for many years
no one could raise turkey in that
whole area. The turkey raising in
dustry moved west and the presi-
dents prize bird had to be shipped
from Minnesota, Montana or even
California.
The reason for all this was one
disease, blackhead. It cleaned the
whole eastern section of the country
of turkeys, not in one year, or in five
years, but little by little it broke the
turkey growers of the eastern states.
No one could develop a vaccine or
preventive method or a successful
treatment for the sick birds.
We have had quite lot of black
head out here, not in epidemic form
as it was in the thickly settled east,
but enough to ruin lot of perfectly
good turkey flocks. 1t hits the young
turkeys hardest, along in July and
August, and the loss may be very
heavy.
Easily Recognized
The disease is quite easily recog-
nized, for the sick birds have a bright
yellow diarrheal discharge, and if a
dead bird is opened and. examined,
the liver is invariably spotted with
circular gray. or yellowish green
spots from the size of pea to the
size of dime
A good many of the sick birds
| partially recover, but as long as they
live they will be passing out the
germs that cause blackhead. These
carrier" turkeys are the ones that
used to keep the disease alive on the
premises from year to year.
In the last few years the business
of raising turkeys has materially
changed. Everybody buys day-old
turkey poults, hardly anybody raises
them by Matching them out under 9
turkey hen. So, there is little neeG
of keeping mature turkeys around
A 25-pound turkey eats as much al
a horse. From the middle of Janu
ary until the first turkey poults arr
shipped in, there are hardly any liv,
turkeys in the state. Those that dix
not sell for the Christmas and New
Years market went at once into coli
storage to stop the feed expense.
Anyone would think that thi
four month turkey vacation ever,
year would mean the end of black
head and many other turkey dis
eases, for we can't have turkey dis
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1951-01-15

(~AIO6 ~~-~~~~
we cam have forest fires without
trees.
Don't Mix Em
But il hasn't worked that way. We
still have cases of blackhead in Mon
tana every summer, and we find that
the disease is spread by chickens.
Chickens do not have blackhead, but
they harbor the germ that causes
blackhead. and they will spread it to
turkeys. So, the moral of this story
is-don't mix chickens and turkeys.
It took a long time, but we have
at last learned how to keep black
head down to a minimum Raise
the young turkeys in place separate
and apart from chickens. Then when
the turkeys are old enough to turn
out on pasture and hunt bugs, ETC.,
arrange for pasture rotation, NOV
ing the turkeys to fresh pasture
every two weeks. With three or four
such pastures, they can be on ''clean"
pasture all summer. Even if black
head has appeared and there has
been some loss, strict adherence to
pasture rotation will prevent further
loss.
Leave Trouble Behind
Any parasite or any disease can be
controlled by running away from the
source of infection. Just move out
and leave the trouble behind. And
conversely, any disease or any para
site trouble is made worse by keep
ing birds Cor animals) closely con-
fined in an infected area. The easiest
way to control parasites in sheep is
to rotate and change pastures and
grazing areas; it is the same general
principle.
An acute attack of blacIxhead in a
flock of two or three thousand young
turkeys can be calamity. Any dead
turkey, in mid summer, should be
opened and examined. The spots ON
the liver will tell the story. If the
spotted liver is found, the turkeys
should be started on the move at
once. There is no blueprint for this
pasture arrangement. Sometimes
one big pasture can be cross-fenced,
sometimes flocks can be moved up
one side of creek and back down
again on the other side. Each place
presents a different problem, but it
can be arranged somehow.
There is medicine for the treat
ment of blackhead that shows some
promise, but who wants to treat sick
turkeys if it can be avoided. The
answer seems to be to keep the
chickens and turkeys separate and
give the turkeys plenty of room,
with new feeding headquarters
every couple of weeks during their
growing season.
