in any control program, ac
cording to Luginbuhl. “Now
we have to figure out how the
highly contagious virus moves
from bird to bird and poultry
bouse to poultry house. Then
we will be able to give a bet
ter answer on controls. But it
will take research and that re
quires money, Luginbuhl stat
ed.
Marek’s disease control rec
ommendations are inadequate
today, complained Herbert
Murphy, A. W. Perdue & Son
Co., Salisbury. Leukosis is
causing more condemnations
and losing more money for
poultrymen even when they
follow directions, Murphy said.
It’s the same situation in
other broiler-growing areas.
Despite using all recommended
leukosis controls, condemnation
rates tripled in the past two
years, according to Jack Mul
len, J. K. Sutherland Poultry
Co., Batesville, Ala. “The poul
try industry must get behind
research and make more funds
available,” he recommended.
More than 280 poultrymen
from 28 states attended the
second annual meeting on
poultry condemnation, sponsor
ed by Delmarva Poultry In
dustry, Inc. in cooperation with
the Universities of Maryland
and Delaware.

OUR COMPETITION TELLS US THAT
WE'RE HARD-NOSED ABOUT FERTILIZER
Long ago, in 1904, we decided to manufacture only the best
possible fertilizer. We discovered that most of our custo
mers couldn’t afford to take chances with “Bargain-price”
fertilizer. They want Premium fertilizer that takes high
production punishment. The best advertisement we, of
FARMERS’ FERTILIZER WORKS have, is the many satis
fied customers.
True, FARMERS’ FERTILIZERS may cost a little
more to buy, but our many customers find that whatever
extra they pay is well worth the higher yields they produce
season after season. Remember
FARMERS’ FERTILIZER “As good as the best, and bet
ter than the rest.” Call us now, for prompt service and
premium fertilizer.
