Control Disease Quarantine Urged
Dr. C D Grinnells from the Derry Investigation at the N C Agricultural Experiment Station urges quarantine for diseased animals and new stock for 30 to 40 days to prevent herd infection.

Eliminate Parasites to Conserve Feed Stock
Dr E N Stout of Colerade agricultural college urges parasite control to let livestock winter on less feed. Lice on extile may be killed by dipping on a sunny day with nitetine sulphate solution, with a second dip 14 days later to target newly hatched lice. Horse bot parasites require one centh after a freeze, allowing larvae to migrate, while other internal worms are also reduced.
