New Cases Hamper
Hog Cholera Eradication
Hog Cholera in a 7,000-head
New Jersey swine herd and new
cases in Texas and Nebraska are
hampering efforts to reach the
final stage of the Cooperative
State-Federal Hog Cholera
Eradication Program, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
(USDA) reports.
Veterinarians with USDA’s
Animal and Plant Health In
spection Service (APHIS) said
that hog cholera outbreaks at
widely separate locations are
preventing key states from
becoming hog cholera-free and
threaten other States with
reinfections.
New Cases in Burlington
county, N.J., Adams county,
Nebr., and several counties in
Texas bring the national total of
hog cholera cases to 62 thus far in
1972.'0n1y 18 cases were reported
during the last six months of 1971.
All infected and exposed herds
have been destroyed and their
owners have been paid State and
Federal indemnities.
The New Jersey case on July 6
involved one of the largest herds
in that State, which may have
become infected from eating
inadequately cooked garbage.
Forty-nine cases have been
reported to date in Texas since a
major resurgence of the disease
occured in that State on
December 15, 1971. The most

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 5,1972
recent cases were discovered in
Dawson and Mitchell counties on
July 3 and 5, respectively.
Officials are particularly
concerned over the increase in
cases in Texas, following control
efforts by a State-Federal team
of veterinarians and livestock
inspectors last January and
February. Cases have increases
from one m April, to four in May,
and eight in June.
Two cases in Nebraska, the
first in that State in 20 months,
were attributed to the recent
Texas outbreaks. Boars shipped
from Texas to Nebraska for
slaughter were diverted to an
Adams county, Nebr. farm for
further fattening. They had
already contracted the disease,
and the entire herd was found to
be infected on June 10. Sub
sequently, on July 13, hog cholera
was found in another Adams
county herd, managed by the
same owner.
Other cases reported this year
include 10 in North Carolina from
March 1 through June 13; 4 in
South Carolina on March 16 and
April 14 and 21; 2 in Georgia on
April 8 and May 5; and 2 earlier
New Jersey cases on April 7 and
May 23.
Cholera was diagonosed in a
slaughtered hog at a Florida
packing plant on June 1;
however, none of the herds
supplying the 194-head slaughter
shipment was found to be in
fected. Surveillance is con
tinuing.
Federal and State quarantines
are placed on all outbreak areas.
Infected and exposed swine herds
are destroyed, with indeminity
payments being made to owners.

CUTRINE Made
The Difference
Lakes and ponds like the one above (left)
needn’t be spoiled by the odor and scum of
algae or threatened by the harmful, even lethal,
effect it can have on fish, animals and humans.
CUTRINE, used as directed, controlled the
algae in the pond (right) m just a few days.
CUTRINE can make the difference in your lake
or pond. It has been thoroughly tested and
proven in actual field use. CUTRINE is regis
tered by the Environmental Protection Agency
for use in fish, farm and fire ponds; lakes; fish
hatcheries even in POTABLE WATER RES
ERVOIRS.

check nearby herds for
unreported cases, and all reports
of sick swine are investigated.
Federal quarantines are now in
effect in all or parts of 7 counties
in Texas, two in New Jersey, and

Holstein Hits
150,000 lbs.
Breezy Glen M Cutie 5205218, a
Registered Holstein cow owned
,by Donald S. Eby, Gordonville
has recently been added to a
select list of cows that have
produced more than 150,000 lbs.
of milk in their lifetime.
Her actual lifetime totals are
154,960 lbs. of milk and 6,149 lbs.
of butterfat in 3,448 days since
becoming two years of age. This
amounts to food production in
excess of 69,000 quarts of milk.
Many factors determine
whether or not a cow will produce
such a great quantity of milk.
High production is important, but
equally important is a long,
healthy life. Dairymen today
prefer cows that remain in the
herd for a number of years
because they reduce operation
costs, thus increasing the herd’s
profit margin.
One out of every 100 books
published in 1971 was a cookbook
(Grocery Mir., May). Cookbook
sales run between $l5O million
and $2OO million a year, about the
size of the cake mix market.
There are about 1,200 cookbooks
now in print.
