Diseases Enter Poultry
Flock By Three Methods
University Paik, Pa Dis
eases probably the cause of
most concern in the poultiy
business may originate in a
flock in thiee diffeient ways, ac
coiding to the new “Poultry
Handbook,” published by The
Pennsylvania State University
College of Agriculture
“Diseases are biought on the
faim with new poultry, contam
ination as a lesult of cairy-over
ftom previous flocks, and aie
ntioduced by a lack of sanita
tion or relaxation of secunty
measures,” said Dr L Dwight
Schwartz, Penn State Extension
veterinarian, one of the publica
tion’s authors
Poultry house sanitation re
quires that you begin each flock
with clean, disease-free quarters,
Dr Schwartz points out Each
housing area should be rested a
minimum of two weeks after it
is disinfected and fumigated be
fore the new poultiy are mov
ed in.

date poultry health information

States, may be purchased for
$1 50 plus 6 percent Pennsylva
nia sales tax Make check or

This handbook is designed to
be of use to the commeicial
poultiyman as well as the gen
eial faimer who includes poul
tiy among his other enterpnses
Complete Records
Service Offered
Income tax returns, which are
processed by computers for the
Intei nal Revenue Service, sim
plifies the problem of checking
more returns for completeness
and accuracy The end result is
that taxpayers will need more
up-to-date iccords and farmers
will be no exception.
The Cooperative Extension
Service of The Pennsylvania
State University has developed
a computer farm records pro
gram which is designed to help
farmers keep more complete
records, says Associate County
Agent, Jay W. Irwin He points
out this new service is avail
able to all area farmers.
The depreciation program, he
said, is designed so that the
computer does all computations
and prints out a complete sche
dule ready to mail with your tax
return The computer has found
many errors in present depre
ciation schedules that favor the
taxpayer Errors of arithmetic
are very common with many
taxpayers losing depreciation.
The program is also designed
so that investment tax credit is
taken on all allowable items
This is worth a $2lO tax saving
on a $3,000 purchase.
Contact the Agricultural Ex
tension Service, 1383 Arcadia
Road, Lancaster, for more de
tails on this program.
