Parasites
(Continued From Page 14)
some form of internal parasite,
led by the common round worm.
Farmers are doing several
things to keep parasites under
control. Probably the most im
portant is making sure the
animals have a proper diet.
Studies conducted by the U. S.
Agricultural Research Center
showed no serious parasite
problems were encountered as
long as cattle were kept on a good
diet.
The second preventive action
farmers can take is to keep
pastures from being overgrazed.
Tests in Georgia showed that
cattle on overgrazed pasture
have many more worms than
those on moderately grazed or
under grazed pastures. Parasite
infected cattle also make lower
gains and have lower carcass
quality grades at slaughter.
After the farmer has followed
good herd management prac
tices, he still has an arsenal of
medications on which he can
depend to some extent Studies

are being conducted throughout
the country in an attempt to
discover new and better drugs for
dealing with parasites in cattle
and poultry.
In Montana, a strain of
lungworm has been isolated from
elk to find out if it can be used to
immunize cattle, while New
Mexico scientists are working on
a strain of parasite from
pronghorn antelope.
Idaho researchers are con
sidering breeding strains of
sheep which naturally resist
parasites.
Parasites have served one
useful purpose. They have kept
our nation’s farmers aware of the
importance of good animal
husbandry. This alone does not
assure a /neat eating public that
all parasites will be eradicated in
the future. Consumers should be
aware, however, that farmers
are bearing the brunt of the little
mentioned parasite problem. The
few cents additional the con
sumer may be asked to pay for a
steak is a small part of the cost of
getting that meat to market as a
safe and nutritious product.

Treating Wastes Jointly
May Lighten Burden
Joint treatment of industrial

industries may lighten the
burden on both groups, two

Control Association of Penn

will be in Lancaster County in
September.
Mrs. J. Stanley Stauffer Jr
presented the program, the
theme being Recreation. Clifford
Holloway 111 correctly guessed
the contents of the centennial
guessing box. It contained 100
paper clips. Edwin Schwar Jr,
executive director of the Lan
caster County Park Board, gave
a talk about some of the parks in
Lancaster County and especially
the new Lancaster County
Central Park, showing colored
slides of their facilities.
“Old Timers Night” will be
observed at the next meeting,
August 27, and there will be a
prize given for the oldest member
present. There will also be
nominations for officers at this
meeting. The annual election will
be held September 10.
that industries may have to pre
treat a greater portion of their
wastes today than was necessary
in a past era. This is because of
the increasing strength of some
industrial wastes.
Thus Wyeth Laboratories m
West Chester today treats 65 to 70
percent of the total waste
engendered by it, compared with
only 20 percent m 1958 Longhead
said this was the result of much
planning and study by Wyeth to
protect municipal sewers.
Another speaker, Alfred
Brosig, of the central research
unit of Hammermill Paper Co.,
why dry
corn?
With the Harvestore System, you
preserve the feed value of the corn
you worked so hard to grow By har
vesting corn at high moisture and
going directly from field to storage,
you reduce labor requirements
and field losses, plus eliminate
all drying costs and shrinkage
Harvestore processed high mois
ture corn is highly palatable Livestock
thrive on it Dry corn 7
There’s a better way
now, the Harvestore
