The event is the International Ethologi cal Conference, held every other year and attended by 100 leading scientists in ani mal behavior. The Penn Sta ters will fly from New York to London on Sept. 3. Drs. Hale and Schein have pioneered studies of effects of behavioral defects affect ing fertility in turkeys. A motion picture featuring their experiments, previously shown nationally at meetings of biologists and psycholog ists, will be shown at the Cambridge conference. The film is entitled “Stimuli Re leasing Sexual Behavior in Domestic Turkeys.’* The two scientists have been awarded grants by the National Science Foundation to cover-travel costs;'includ ing post-conference tours.

Poultry Inspection Amendments Given Amendments to regulations governing inspection of poul try under the Poultry Pro ducts Inspection Act were announced recently by the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture. This Act requires Federal inspection of slughfered Poultry and poultry products shipped across State lines. The amendments incorpor ate defmtions of poultry class names which are re quired on labels of mspec ed Poultry. Alternative labeling terminology also is specified. The amendments exclude from the definition of jjoult ry products subject to the inspection act certain pro-| ducts which contain some poultry meat, provided that' this meat is from inspected poultry. I Examples of such products are bouillon cubes, sauces flavorings, and soup bases and soups containing less than two per cent poulty meat. Cop es of the amendments will be available from the Poultry Division, Agricultur al Marketing Service, u S. Department of Agriculture] Washington 25, D C , within a few days after publication in the Federal Register, sch duled for Aug. 22. Give Lancaster Farming advertising a chance to work A leading researcher at each technical center will discuss Soviet studies with the Penn State professor. “We believe Dr. Schein’s visit to Russia will be unique among scientists in the field of animal behavior,” says Dr. AJ.G. Maw, Chairman of the Department of Poult ry Husbandry. From Russia Dr. Schein will travel to Switzerland for discussion with scientists in Zurich, Bern, Zernez, and Basel. Then he will visit Germany for tours of facili ties in Seewiesen, Munich, Frankfort, Suttgart, and Got tingen. French scientists will show the Penn Stater their work in La Fleche, Paris, and Vin cennes. Holland will be his next country for lectures and seminars in Amsterdam/ Gro ningen, and Leiden.

The scientist, reporting her research at the annual meet ing of the American Society ot Parasitologists, in session at University Park, Pa., said infected poultry pass the par asitic eggs m their droppings. Other birds, as they pck for feed on the ground, may ingest organ isms. Parasites damage the -host by direct at'ack on tissue, and by eliminating toxic substances within the host.- If present in large numbers, they can cause great loss. In two series of tests at the Agricultural Research Center, Beltsville, she said, droppings collected from in fected chickens and turkeys were distributed on soil in small outdoor plots. Samples of tills material were collected from time to t'rae and added to the -feed of isolated turkey poults. Fourteen to 30 days after ingesting the parasite eggs, the poults were killed and examined for evidence of blackhead and the nema todes. Miss Farr found that the cecal worm, Heterakis gal linae, remained infective up to 230 weeks.
