New Ful-O-Pep “500” Egg Feeds, for floor or cage, are designed to give you 500 dozen eggs per ton on a year-around basis, under good environmental conditions.

Part of the project involves mating horses which have the disease to determine if their foals will be normal. U. of P. scientists, in another project, believe farm cats arc possible carriers of tuberculo sis. They reached this conclu sion when autopies of cats, tak en from farms where cattle had been destroyed because of tu berculosis, showed the felines had the disease. The scientists also have ex pressed concern that cats and dogs owned by people who have contracted tuberculosis may in fect children who fondle the animals. Because oaks comprise 40 per cent of the total sawtimber volume in the state, the Depart ment became concerned when oak wilt, a disease which plays havoc with red and white oaks, was discovered m Pennsylvania. Research, which the Depart ment is supporting, indicates the ambrosia beetle may be transporting a fungus which causes the wilt. Once we have definitely pinpointed the car rier, we can take the necessary steps to control it. The Department is always in terested in locating new cash crops farmers can raise That is why we are supporting Penn State research on growing wine grapes in Pennsylvania.

Good Terre Hill Care Prevents Farm Accidents Long hours spent on farm ma chinery during the summer months greatly increase the pos sibility of disabling accidents, according to Thomas H. Wil liams, extension agricultural engineer at the University of Delaware. Most accidents are the result of small mistakes, says Willi ams. Small mistakes that turn to tragedy. These include a lit tle too much speed: a slight er ror in judgment: a lost or brok en shield; an improperly ad justed hitch. When operating machinery in the field, watch for open ditch banks and hidden rocks and stumps, he advises And avoid climbing steep banks. Always hitch loads to the drawbar, nev er to the tractor axle. Know what to expect from your equip ment. A tractor pulling a heavy load may handle quite different ly than the same tractor with out a load. About one-third of all fatal ti actor accidents occur on high ways. If you operate a tractor on the highway, keep as far right as safety permits. Use warning flags that are clearly visible during daylight hours and be sure that machinery is properly lit after dusk For added safety, use slow moving vehicle emblems to warn traffic that you are operating a JOHN DEERE SELF-UNLOADING WAGONS 125 Chuck 'ip 3 Retire the unloading hook and silage fork...put John Deere Self-Unloaders to work for you.

Never operate machinery when you are extremely tired, wor ried or in a hurry, he adds This i<s when most accidents occur. Keep children away from farm machinery, and never allow ex tra riders. If you are working alone, ar range for someone to check with you frequently. Many farm ac cidents happen in back fields where a lone operator may be pinned in or under a machine for hours before he is found. Many of these accidents would be less serious if help were available immediately following the accident.
