In some areas, “splinter” organ were producers,- with 74.2 per, izations have attempted to attack the validity of the NEPPCO sur vey, Dr. Van Wagenen warned. Lacking facts to substantiate their opinions'as to what is desirable for the poultry industry, he said, they have sought to discredit the survey and its reflection in NEPP CO’s new policy. “The Council is firmly dedi cated to the American right of honest disagreement,”'-Dr. Van.' Wagenen added. “We do not in sist that other poultry groups sub scribe to NEPPCO’s policy on free markets We do feel, however, that we have a right to hold those, views, free from personal attack and invective.” “We have done 'everything pos sible to insure the accuracy of our findings,” he continued, “We are satisfied that we have an curate reflection of the opinions of our members, and have no al ternative but to express that re sistance to government interven tion in our formal policy state ment.” The Council leader went on ta point out that the organization did not contend that it spoke for all poultrymen in the nation in its “hands'off” policy, but that it did accurately represent the views of the majority of its mem bership The survey showed that more than 65 per cent of the poultry faimers replying wanted a mini mum of interference from federal economic planners. Of this group more than 43 per cent favored all out industry resistance to subsi dies and controls of any kind Deploring the emphasis upon price support polfey, Dr Van Wagenen pointed out that other aspects of the Council’s new pro gram are likely to prove more sig nificant in terms of long-term ex pansion of industry incomes. “Our work in developing strong marketing agencies alone, has and will continue to exert more-up ward influence upon farm in comes than any other single fac tor,” he declared. The Council’s Division of Co operatives three years ago found ed the Northeastern Poultry Co operative Association a cen- marketing agency to assure northeastern market egg produc ers of a firm voice in the New York market Other Council activities include legislative activity for industry interests such as the recent-move for mandatory poultry meat in spection and the establishment of vaccine standards; the sponsor ship of egg grading and market ing schools, chicken barbecue schools, and other basic services.

Scab control was improved as the* rate of Vapam was increased. Vapam’s control at 50 and 100 pounds per acre was significantly better than P.C.N.B. at these rates. Scab control by -P.C.N.B. tended to decrease at the higher* rates of 75 to 100 pounds per acre. To conduct the study, a field of loam soil was infested with the scab organism.
