New Virus Causes Sheep Wool Losses
Scrapie has struck Illinois flocks this year says Dr. C. C. Morrill of the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. The contagious disease affects the nervous system and first shows as dull wool luster, rubbing and skin irritation. Sheep later develop a stiff gait and trembling threat, becoming paralyzed and dying in one to three months. No treatment exists and officials urge rapid isolation and veterinarian calls. If exposed, sell animals for slaughter to prevent spread. Symptoms may appear one to two years after exposure, Dr. Morrill warns.

University of Illinois experiments show cornstalks and soybean straw left on the surface on 4 percent slopes reduce soil loss from rain. Covered plots lost about 3193 pounds of soil per acre in a 2 inch hour, versus 4148 on bare ground. Stalks protect soil from raindrop impact and slow runoff. Corn stalk shredders spread residues for near full protection against erosion.
