Administered routinely to each calf at birth, 80-Bac Antibacterial
Serum will (1) give protection for as much as 21 days against
scours and pneumonia; (2) supply antibody protection normally
found in colostrum; (3) provide immediate protection against
scour/pneumonia-causative organisms.
As a treatment, 80-Bac can be used alone or in advantageous
combination with antibiotics, sulfas, and other drugs. It is excellent
for use prior to assembling or shipping calves to reduce problems
of stress and exposure. nA DAT

the United States for the im
provement, identification and
recording of Finnsheep
The breed is a native of Finland

were imported from Ireland to
the United States by the
University of Minnesota and the
U. S Department of Agriculture
in 1968. A second importation was
made in 1969.
Since then Finnsheep have
become available from Canada
and a number of private flocks
have been established, although
many of the Finnsheep are kept
members keep their horses m top
shape.

Dwight Holaway of Pipestone,
Minn., is president of the new
association and John F Redding
of Asheboro, N.C , vice president.
An important objective of the
association is to encourage and
support breeding research to
discover how the Finnsheep
breed can be used most ef
fectively in crossbreeding to
improve efficiency of com
mercial lamb production
The association also has the
objective of striving to con
tinuously improve and promote
Finnsheep in the interests of
more profitable sheep en
terprises
Production records are
required for registration and
every certificate of registration
will include information on
numbers of lambs born from
animals in the pedigree
Fmnsheep have lambing rates
which are about double those of
most domestic breeds in this
country Flock averages of 3, 4
and 5 lambs born per ewe have
been reported in Finland
They are expected to be very
useful in crossbreeding to in
crease efficiency of lamb meat
production and to develop more
productive strains of sheep

Ml Governor Gets
Local Mushrooms
Insisting that it was the “spirit
of the holiday season and not just
gloating”, Pennsylvania
Secretary of Agriculture Jim
McHale presented a bushel of
mushrooms to Maryland
Governor Marvin Mandel
Pennsylvania Governor Milton
J Shapp late this summer
wagered a bushel of mushrooms
against a bushel of Maryland
crabs on the outcome of the world
senes Shortly after Pittsburgh
nipped Baltimore, four games to
three. Gov Mandel paid off the
bet
Recently, Secretary McHale
told Maryland’s chief executive,
“We can’t see denying you the
pleasure of the world’s best
mushrooms at the holiday
season. So Governor Mandel,
please accept with Governor
Shapp’s best wishes his half of the
World Senes wager.”
Pennsylvania leads the nation
and the world in the production of
mushrooms, growing 123,000,000
pounds in the past year or 63 per
cent of the total U. S. harvest.
Also participating in the
presentation were Charles
Lucido and A 1 Bazzoli, Chester
County, representing the
Mushroom Growers Co-operative
