Bangs Control Plan HARRISBURG The Pennsyl vania Cooperative Swine Breed ers Assn.,passed a resolution at the Pennsylvania Farm Show fav oring a swim, brucellosis eradi cation and control program in Pennsylvania. Dr. Samuel Guss, extension vet erinarian, Pennsylvania State University, explained the pro gram as proposed by the State De partment of Agriculture. “The program would be of benefit to every swine breeder in selling brucellosis-free animals, and a benefit to the general pub lic,” he said. Out of 987 samples collected during 1956 only two reacted posi tively, which Guss says indicates a very small percentage of dis eased animals m the State. Guss said that the program would be voluntary. Each breeder of hogs would have to file a re quest for participation in the pro gram. The State Department of Agriculture then would test each breeding hog in his herd, and pay indemnities for any diseased ani mals, he said. It was the general feeling among breeders that the pro posed program could be of great assistance to the swine industry, A special swine brucellosis ad visory committee has been set up by state Agriculture Secretary William L. Kenning. The group SPECIAL THIS WEEK 2500 White Cornish Cross 12c 500 2 wb. old Leghorn Pullets 31c Heavy Seconds 3c Reich Poultry Farm Rl MARIETTA Ph.
