Poultry Shows Halted
To Tight Disease
these situations every six
months,” Mallinson said.
“But this got suddenly really
nasty, when it started
leapfrogging from one show
to another. This leapfrogging
aspect can really be bad if
we don’t step in to stop it.”
The first symptoms of the
disease in poultry are watery
eyes, difficulty in breathing,
coughing and sneezing.
Mallinson said the birds may
also shake their heads in
attempts to dislodge hem
morhaged blood in their
windpipes.
He urged any poultrymen
who see symptoms in their
flocks to contact the
agriculture department.
Vaccination programs are
effective in saving flocks
even after individual birds
have been exposed to the
disease, Mallinson said.
Positive diagnoses of LT
have involved only two

A highly contagious
poultry disease known as
infectious laryngotracheitis
prompted the state
agriculture department
Thursday to ask for can
cellation of upcoming
poultry shows in Penn
sylvania.
Dr. Everett Denlinger,
director of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, said the
disease is completely har
mless to humans.
But it can kill up to 70 per
cent of infected chickens,
pheasants or peafowl,
Denlinger said. He asked
that all polutry shows be
cancelled at least through
Sept. 30, to protect the state’s
$l9O million egg and broiler
industry.
The recent outbreak of the
disease, known as LT,
resulted from Summer
shows of exhibition poultry
in western Pennsylvania,
according to Dr. Ed
Mallinson, the agriculture
department’s expert on
poultry diseases.

If the particular pattern you
like is not washable, look into
wallpaper protective coatings.
These are applied with a roller
after the wallpaper is installed
and make the wallpaper com

first, because these coatings will
occasionally darken a paper
