NEW YORK, Aug. 7 Shell egg market irregular today.
Really fancy lines being absorbed on nearbys, but not on Westerns
A number of lots of large shaded under the call, but buyer interest
in a few quarters moved top prices up fractionally before the close,
The position at noon was rather unsettled.

Research Topic
Of Scientists
The newest developments in.
the fight against chronic respir
atory disease in chickens and in
fectious sinusitis in turkys were
discussed at a recent meeting of
reprsentatives of a number of
States cooperating with the U.S.
Deparment of Agriculture in a
coordinated research program for
the investigation of these dis
eases.
Closely controlled experiments
by members of this group of re
search workers, indicate that the
practice of injecting laying hens
with antibiotics to produce non
infected chicks is not a sure-fire
method of controlling the spread
of the chronic respiratory dis
ease. In a number of trials, treat
ed hens produced infected chicks,
and non-treated hens produced
healthy chmks
Keeping chicks in small num
bers and segregation helped pro
duce disease-free flocks, the tests
showed.
An experimental, rapid blood
test for the diagnosis of chronic
respiratory disease produced
promising results, but more re
search is needed to devlop im
proved or new testing techniques.
The blood test determines the st
tus of pleuropneumonia-like or
atus of pleuropheumoma-hke or
been identified as the cause of
chronic respiratory disease by re
searchers in the Federal-State co
ordinated program and certain
other scientists interested in the
problem. They also have demon
strated the frequent complication
of this condition by other poultry
diseases. Such mixed infections
present a serious economic prob
lem to poultrymen because of the
higher death-rate in infected,
flocks, fewer eggs, and greater
feed and medication costs result
ing from this condition.

New 800 FORD TRACTOR
and FORD ECONOMY PLOW
Ford’s new 3-plow 800 Tractor
and the easy handling Ford
Economy Plow really take
tough plowing in stride! With
them you can do 6 days’
plowing in 4. And you’ll find
that the job goes easier, too.
Sav plmnty on short costs!
“Razor Blade” shares for Ford
Economy Plows cost so little
you can replace them for less
than the cost of resharpening.

With a front wheel in the fur
row the Ford Tractor almost
steers itself. At headlands, just
nudge Ford’s Hydraulic Touch
Control lever to lift the plow
out of the ground. You adjust
plowing depth on the go with
the same lever.
On tough plowing jobs you’ll
appreciate Ford’s new Tailored
Traction. As always on a Ford,
traction increases automatically
on heavy pulls. And now, new
easy-on, easy-off wheel weights
are available to give you still
more traction.
A phone call to us will bring
a new 800 Ford Tractor and
Economy Plow out to your
farm for a demonstration.
Why not call us today?
