Delawareis leading swine grow
er and a member of the State
Board of Agriculture, on Monday,
defended his right to administer
medication to his livestock.
Charles Mills, Rehoboth Beach,
who operates what has been called
the largest swine farm in the East,
has been the subject of a rumpus
involving the attorney generals Of
flee, the State Board of Agricul-
ture and Delaware Veterinarians.
The issue is whether hog grow
ers who represent a $750,000 in
dustry in Delaware, ranking just
under poultry and dairy interests,
should be allowed to treat their
own. and their neighbor's animals
with vaccine and serum.
Howard T. Ennis, Jr., deputy at
torney general for Sussex County,
is Investigating a complaint that
penicillin and other drugs are al
legedly being sold by a Sussex
farmer without a druggists license.
Mills said Monday that he felt
the whole issue was pretty silly.
."We feel that it is a basic right
of the farmer to treat his animals
as long as there is no human
health danger involved" Mills de-
clared, land we will defend that
right"
Mills said that for years he has
given penicillin to neighboring
farmers from supply he uses for
his own livestock. ITS the same
thing as one farmer giving another
gasoline when he runs short,
charging him only what it COSTS"
Mills said eff the State of Della
ware wants us to purchase a mer-
chants license for giving another
farmer 16-cent bottle of penicil-
lin, Mills charged, then it will
have to require a license for every
farmer in the state If they want
to make this an issue, it's okay
with u.s. Mills added, but let's
get this thing out into the open
You must remember" he said,
that the poultry industry which
is much larger than ours, has treat
ed their flocks for years"
Mills, who is secretary of the
Delaware Swine Growers Associa-
ton, said he felt if an issue were
going to be made of "self-medica-
ton" he hoped that the practice
would be clarified in all of the
states agricultural industries.
