State to Host
National Guard
Bureau Meeting

Delaware's Army National
Guard will be host for this
areas annual National Guard
Bureau conference on November
20 and 80.
Key National Guard person
mel from the entire seven-state
Second U. S. Army Area will
assemble in Wilmington for the
conference, meeting with Army
and National Guard officials
from the Pentagon and Cont
mental Army Command and with
technical representatives from
companies who make equipment
used by the Guard.
The annual army area meet
ings have been adopted as the
best means for conveying direct
ly to the people concerned the
latest information on operations,
administration and maintenance
in the National Guard.
Major General Joseph ]. Scan
nell, Delaware Adjutant Gener-
al, said, 1.-THE direct exchange
of ideas between Army people
at the policy-making level and
Guard people who must carry
out the policy has been one of
the best things that has hap
pened in the National Guard in
recent years. 1t has produced a
more constructive attitude on
both Sides"
The conference will be held
at the New Castle County Air
port. Project officer for the
meeting is Colonel D. Preston
Lee, deputy chief of staff of
the Delaware Guard, assisted
by Major Michael F. Riley.

he hunts or who supply him a
place to hunt do not bait.
QUESTION S: What consti-
tutes a batting field for dove,
duck, or goose hunting?
ANSWER: 1t is a field where
grains have been placed, dis
tributed, OF scattered, where
salt is scattered or placed, or
where standing corn or grains
have been manipulated by cut
ting or knocking down so as
to lure and attract migratory
game birds to the hunter. Fields
where grain has been scattered
as a result of normal agricultur-
al planting or harvesting are
not baited fields. There is also
no restriction on hunting mi
gratory birds over standing
crops, flooded standing crops, or
flooded harvested crop lands.
QUESTION 6: Why is it nee
essary to prohibit batting?
ANSWER: Batting is one of
several highly efficient ways of
increasing the kill of migratory
birds. When there were COM
paratively few hunters and birds
were plentiful, the practice was
not considere d detrimental.
Now, with a constantly increas-
ing army of hunters and shrink
ing habitat for waterfowl pro-
duction, there are just not
enough ducks and geese to
withstand this heavy kill. Hunt
ers must give more thought to
the sport and less to the num-
Der of birds bagged. People who
bait disregard the rights of 9TH
ers by killing part of the good
sportsman's share of the mi
gratory bird supply. That's why

vice vigorously enforces the

quired and possessed ducks and
geese in your marsh. You may
then hunt there provided the
released birds are completely
beyond your control-that is,
you have discontinued feeding
long enough before the season
that the birds are no longer at
tracted by the feed you had
been putting out for them, as
specified in the answer to the
previous que st o hand the
birds can and do fly as freely
as ducks and geese raised in
the wild. Otherwise, the birds
would be considered live de-
coys and you would be prohib-
tied from taking ducks and
geese attracted to the area.

Each fall when Nature dons
brilliant colors and the first hint
of frost put a crispness in north
ern air, American sportsmen
start their annual excursions
afield to hunt ducks, geese,
doves, woodcock, snipe, and
other migratory birds enroute to
southern wintering grounds.
AS thoughts turn to plans for
the hunt, questions annually
arise in the minds of sports
men about the regulations which
govern migratory bird hunting
and the Interpretation of vari-
Gus sections of these rules.
The following are the most
common questions asked of U.
S. Fish and Wildlife Service per-
sonnet on this subject.
Migratory game birds referred
TO in this article are ducks,
geese, brant, rails, gallinules,
sora, coots, snipe, woodcock,
mourning and white-winged
doves, and band-tailed pigeons.
QUESTION l: Must everyone
who hunts ducks and geese
possess a duck stamp?
ANSWER: The only exception
is a person under Is years of
age who is permitted to hunt
legally by State law. Everyone
else, including landowners who

Falcon Sales
Top RambIer's S

DETROIT, Mar. 4 (AP).-
Ford's Falcon topped Rambler
in sales in February, the first
month in which Rambler has
been beaten by any of the
other compact cars.
Ford estimated Falcon sales
at $1,000. Rambler said its
February sales were 1882,
best for the month in Amer
ican Motors history.
At the other end of the size
and price scale, Cadillac also
claimed a sales record for last
month. The General Motors
division said it sold 1876 cars
compared with 12,649 in Feb
ruary last year, the previous
record. Cadillac also said its
sales Of 26,979 for the calendar
year represent an all-time high
for January February. The
old mark for the division was
26,542 in the first two months
of 1857.
Dodge also issued a glowing
report showing 27,972 cars
cars sold in February compared
with 1888 for the same month
last year. Dodge said its sales
of 1860 models now total 107,-
928 in about five months COM
pared with 50,823 during the
similar period a year ago.
v. E. Boyd, field sales man
ager for American Motors, said
Rambler sales in the 1860
model year total 1862 against
1905 at a similar point in
the 1859 model year.
For Falcon, Ford said Feb
ruary was the fifth straight
month in which the daily SELL
ing rate increased over the
previous month. Total deliv-
cries in February also were a
record. For the calendar year
Ford estimates Falcon sales at
about 69,700.

several days or they may become areas
of dry, firm, scabby, dead skin and
tissue. Occasionally the tails and ears
will be sloughed off Although the death
loss in hogs showing skin LESSONS will
be quite light, animals that have it
will probably be in poor condition and
will be Improbable to feed out.
Subacute Form
The subacute form is not so severe
as the acute form. The animals seem
to be less sick, the temperatures are
not so high. The hogs may eat some
feed and only few diamond-skin
LESSONS will appear. The animals do
not stay sick for so long a time.
Many hogs that live through the acute
and subacute forms do not always re-
cover completely, because the infec-
tlon of the joints which commonly occur
Montana farmer-stockman., 1960-03-01

progresses to the chronic or arthritic
form. Infection of the joints can also
occur without the animal being notice
ably sick. Besides the noticeable sore
ness of the joints, the joints will also
enlarge, resulting IN permanent de-
formity of the affected joint or joints.
Occasionally the heart is involved.
Death losses can run from none to
IS per cent but the disease is more
noted for its crippling effect than for
its death loss. The crippled hogs can
not get around well, they show little
interest in food and become unthrifty
and the animal is left in such cOndi-
tion that it never does very well. It
remains rough, undersized and if they
do reach the packinghouse, they may
be docked due to the trimming of dis

Vaccine for Control
The best method of control of swine
erysipelas is the use of vaccine. The
present vaccines being used are the
living, weakened or "avirulent" vac
cines. Killed vaccines are also avail
able but it appears that they are being
replaced by the avirulent vaccine. The
recommended procedure in problem
herd is to vaccinate all the s0ws and
gifts at breeding time and all of the
pigs at weaving time. IF regular sys-
tenn of immunization is followed, this
disease can be controlled.
Many drugs have been used in the
treatment of swine erysipelas but it is
much easier and cheaper to prevent
the disease rather than to attempt to
treat the disease.

SWINE ERYSIPELAS or diamond.
skin disease is present in the United
States wherever hogs are raised The
disease is caused by a bacterium
which is quite hardy and can live for
q long time in dead animal tissue and
decaying matter. 1t can resist the eff
fects of picking, smoking, freezing and
drying of meats for long periods of
time. It is, however, quite sensitive
to heat and is killed at temperatures
necessary to cook pork adequately.
The organism can live and even null
tiply in the soil under favorable
conditions.
Many species of animals may be-
come infected with this organism but
+ is of major economic Importance in
hogs, turkeys and sheep. In humans the
infection is known as erysipeloid and
is rather common. 1t is considered an
occupational hazard of veterinarians
and persons who handle fresh meat
and meat products.
Probably the chief source of infec-
ton for animals is the organism pres
ent in the soil. Another source is the
carrier animal, as the organism may
exist in the tonsils and lymph nodes of
the intestinal tract of apparently
healthy swine
The clinical symptoms of swine
erysipelas are classed as acute, sub
acute and chronic.
Acute Form
The acute form is characterized by
its sudden onset. Many animals in the
herd may be affected at one time. Only
a few may appear to be sick but if the
others are checked many will have
fevers. The sick animals will tend to
stay bedded down but they will con-
tinue to give an impression of alertness.
IF they are stirred up and forced
to move, they will protest as if it was
painful to put weight on their feet.
Sometimes the animals may show
stiff gait. Left alone they will bed
down again and become very reluctant
to move Most animals will be off feed
and some may be vomiting. Several
hogs may die suddenly, many will be
sick as described and a few will die
in to 10 days.
DiamOnd-Skin Disease
During the acute phase many hogs
may develop what is called diamond
skin disease. This phase is marked
by light-pink to dark purple areas on
the skin that usually become raised
and firm to the touch and in most
instances have clearly defined borders.
The shape is quite characteristic when
seen or felt because the outline of the
skin lesion is usually square or diamond
shape. Although the LESSONS are best
seen on a ight-skinned animal, they
can be felt on animals with darker
skins.
These skin LESSONS may disappear in

for prayer and peaceful medi-
tation. In fact, the name of the
resort and of nearby inland
bay are of Biblical origin.
According to reliable sources,
Rehoboth Bay and the beach
that later borrowed its name
from that calm inland body of
water, were named "Rehoboth,"
meaning room enough" (Gen.
26:22) by religious English set
tiers prior to 1915.
Once Farmland
In colonial times, the present
resort area was divided into
large tracts with fields of corn,
wheat and other crops surround
ing cypress-sheathed plantation
Houses and smaller slave quar-
tiers. Little account, however,
was paid to its possibilities as a
summering place until 1855,
when the State of Delaware
granted five acres of beachland
to a "Rehoboth Hotel Company"
as a site for a hotel. However,
for some now obscure reason,
this hotel was not built; in fact,
it was not until 1870 that the
areas first tourist accommoda-
tion," a combination summer
hotel and Fall gunning-camp,
was built nearby at what is
now Dewey Beach.
In 1872, a group, subsequent
ly known as the Rehoboth
Beach Camp-Meeting Associa-
ton of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, bought a tract on the
beach front and laid out streets.
The next year, two hotels were
built and some. cottages were
erected. Some houses dating
from this period are still stand
ing and are recognizable by
their sharp roof peaks and gin
gerbread" trim.
A camp-meeting grounds was
subsequently located near the
present canal bridge to which
came campers in horse-drawn
vehicles. These religiously in
clined visitors brought every
thing needed for their stay with
them and were housed in small
frame ''tents" arranged in a
circle.
Excursion Trains Popular
In 1878, the railroad was ex-
tended from nearby Lewes to
the aforementioned camp site.
While the camp meetings were
discontinued about 1881, vaca-
tionists continued to come in
large numbers, resulting in the
