Ornithosis Mistaken
For Turkey Erysipelas
In two turkey flocks death
among the birds were blamed on
erysipelas, according to a report
.m ,the Journal of the American
Veterinary Medical Association.
Treatment with an antibiotic
halted death losses briefly, but
when deaths began occurring
again, the flock owners submitted
fhe dead birds for veterinary ex
amination
Veterinary authorities then de
termined that ornithosis was the
cause of death and the course of
■ reatment was changed according
ly. Because so many diseases of
animals exhibit similar symptoms,
prompt veterinary diagnosis is"
necessary to determine proper
treatment, the Association said.

• You’ll like the way this two
way two-furrow moldboard plow
performs behind a Ford Tractor
. . . and you’ll like its simplicity
for convenience and economy. It
will help you to more efficiently
turn all furrows the same direc
tion for recommended plowing
practices in irrigated fields, on
hillsides or where contour or strip
cropping is practiced. Cuts plow
ing time, eliminates dead furrows
and ridges, slows water nm-off to
save moisture, prevent erosion.
