—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 23,1971 8 2.6 Million Horses Are Vaccinated Nearly half of the states par ticipating in the federally-funded program to vaccinate horses against Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis (VEE) report treating more than 90 per cent of their horse populations, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced last week. Scientists say almost all horses in a given area should be vac cinated to assure against con tinuing spread of this disease. Priority is being given to com pleting the vaccination of horses by November 1 in states where weather conditions, geography and insect populations combine to place horses in the greatest disease risk from VEE. Dr Francis J Mulhern, Associate Administrator of USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) said, “We are encouraged by the accumulating evidence on safety of the VEE vaccine.

Other States with from 50 to nearly 90 per cent of their horses vaccinated are: Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

Horses in these states may be moved in terstate 14 days after vac cination, if they are properly identified and their vaccination records accompany them. The VEE outbreak has been confined, thus far, to 19 counties _ m south Texas. VEE is seasonal in areas where winters are cold enough to kill mosquitoes. Where mosquitoes are found throughout the year, there is no seasonal limit. Commerical VEE vaccine is now available in states outside of the high-risk areas. Interested horse owners should consult their veterinarians. VEE closely resembles the Western (WEE) and Eastern (EEE) forms of equine en cephalomyelitis, both of which have been in this country for a long time. The type of virus can be determined only by laboratory analysis. Unlike WEE and EEE, VEE causes extremely high viremia (virus manufacture) in horses so that any mosquito biting them is sure to pick up the infection. It is primarily mosquitoes that spread the disease from horse to horse and to man.

In fact, it has been estimated that each $1 invested in limestone returns from $3 to $lO in bigger and better yields. Baker’s agricultural limestone pays off best because it does more. Baker’s ag-lime sweetens soil to reduce acidity and raise pH level. It also adds vital magnesium. Both are important to make sure that your crops can make full use of the fertilizers you apply. FALL LIMING IS BEST! All winter long—through ram, snow, freezing and thawing—the limestone seeps down to root depths to put soil into top condition for spring.
