Wheat Vote
Polls Announced
Polling places for the July
21 referendum on marketing
quotas for the 1961 crop of
wheat were announced this
week by Landis G. Becker,
Chairman of i- e Lanca‘> 4f, r
County Agricultural Stab h
zation and Conservation
Committee.
Growers eligible to vote
in the referendum will be
those who will have more
than 15 acres of wheat for
harvest as grain in 1961 (ex
cept growers taking part in
the feed wheat program.)
Mr. Becker points out that
at least two-thirds of the
growers voting in the refer
endum must approve the
quotas if they ?i.- to be
come effective. Und •' quot
as, marketing penalties will
tpply on “excess” wheat re
sulting from noncomphance
with the farm’s wheat ac
reage allottment, and price
supports will be available
on the crop at not less than
75 per cent of parity—the
exact rate to be announced
before the vote.
On the other hand, if mo
re than one-third of the vot
ers oppose the quotas, there
will be no restrictions on
wheat marketing, but allot
ments will remain in effect
as a condition for price sup
port at aO per cenf of panty
as directed by law
Wheat growers voting in
a referendum each year ha
ve approved marketing quo
tas for the past seven wheat
crops

BLUE COMB
A disease which attacks growing pullets and
young laying chickens.
ORIGIN: Not of bacterial origin, but otherwise suggestive of a con
tagious or infectious disease. Current view point: Probably a virus
disease.
SYMPTOMS: Sudden decreased feed consumption, drop in egg product
ion, depression and whitish watery diarrhea. Individual birds maj
have crop distension, sunken eyes, dark blue combs, shriveled shanks
Post Mortem usually shows pale breast muscle resembling the
flesh of fish. Crop is often filled with sour-smelling food. Small yel
lowish spots may appear on the liver. Enlargement of kidneys is
common with the accumulation of urates.
CAUTION: Accurate diagnosis is necessary to differentiate between Blue
Comb and Fowl Cholera.
TREATMENT: Several types of treatment formerly recommended have
mostly been-replaced by the use of the Broad Spectrum-antibiotics
or a combination of one of these with Furazolidone contained in a
highly fortified feed.
For treatment of Growing Pullets we recommend the use of our
EARLY BIRD No. 50 Medicated Ration.
For treatment of Layers we recommend our EARLY BIRD No. 49
Medicated Ration
Feed these for 4 to 5 days. We have found them quite effective
When a mash and grain program is followed it is well to discontinue
the grain and replace it with a limited amount of our EARLY BIRD
No. 33 Poultry Fitting Ration.
If you have birds that “do not
look just right”, or trouble strikes
your flock please call your Miller &
Bushong representative or call Lan
