Frey Holstein Exceeds
Half-ton of Butterfat
An official production record
exceeding a half ton of butterfat
has been completed by Fulton
way Reflector Bobbie 6547429
(VG), a Registered Holstein cow
owned by J. Mowery Frey and
Son, Lancaster. This is the first
time that “Bobbie” has achieved
the 1,000 pound butterfat
production level in a single
lactation. This record ranks
among 3,709 similarly completed
by Registered Holstein cows on
official test.
The Frey Holstein’s official
record of production totalled
21,580 pounds of milk and 1,007
pounds of butterfat in 325 days.
Fultonway Reflector Bobbie
was bred in the Frey herd. She
was sired by Howacres Reflector
Model 1392654 (EX).

MORE NEW
Killer Bacteria Mentifieil
For the second time in two
years, veterinary scientists at
The Pennsylvania State
University have identified a new
group of disease-producing
organisms among the E. coli
bacteria in the intestinal tract of
baby pigs and calves.
The identification, the first in
the United States, was made by
Dr. Paul J. Glantz and associates
of the Department of Veterinary
Science at Penn State. Known as
E. coli 0157, tfre organism has
also been found in Canada. The
bacteria produces a powerful
toxin in the intestine and results
in diarrhea and sudden death of
young animals.
In recent years Dr. Glantz has
attained an international
reputation for his work in iden
tifying certain hitherto unknown
E. coli strains. In 1970 he was the
first U.S. scientist to successfully
use anti-serums to identify the
disease-producing strain known
as 0149. Over the years he per
fected a technique for separating
harmless E. coli organisms from
pathogenic ones. The technique is
called serotyping.
Identification of such
organisms is carried out at the E.
coli Reference Center at Penn
State, the only headquarters of its
type for animals in the United
States. Penn State Agricultural

work in close collaboration with
the Center for Disease Control in
Atlanta, Ga., and with the In
ternational E. coli Center in
Copenhagen, Denmark.
Dr. Glantz believes the newly
identified strain of E. coil may
have been present in the U.S. for
some time, due to lack of a
specific serum for identifying it.
By determining the specific
agent responsible for the disease,
research workers can now ex
periment with the organism to
develop methods for preventing
and treating it.
