Funds Allocoted For
Newcastle Research
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture has allocated
$500,000 for a seven month in
tensive research program on
Newcastle disease as part of the
emergency program to eradicate*
this exotic disease in the United
States.
USDA’s Agricultural Research
Service (ARS), in cooperation
with five universities will carry
out the research, which is being
funded by USDA’s Animal and

Lots of grasses and broadleafs want to go, Lasso plus atrazine
growing in corn mean nutrients and is the way to go. Because you use
moisture going to waste. Your corn less atrazine there’s less chance

year’s beans.
To give your corn the “full course”
it needs, tank mix Lasso plus

The potential dissemination to
other states constitutes a real
danger to producers, shippers,
slaughterers and others con
cerned with the poultry industry.
Newcastle disease can occur in
all avian species.
Prime research goals are:
developing a faster diagnostic
test for the disease; determining
a program for protecting im
mature birds; determining
criteria for lifting the present ban
on imported birds; and
establishing when the virus can
be transmitted by infected
vaccinated birds at various
stages of infection.

If the trouble is not at that
