The bulletin summarizes research with subfertile dairy heifers. Directing the studies were Dr. Tsuneo Y. Tanabe and Dr. John 0. Almquist, dairy physiologists at Penn State. They found that genital abnormalities account for 10 to 20 percent of the failures of dairy heifers to conceive after four or more breedings. The bulletin features 24 color plates showing various genital abnormalities. Cooperating on the project at Penn State were the departments of dairy science, bacteriology, and veterinary science. Since it was published in 1967, requests for “Gross Genital Abnormalities” have come to Penn State from many parts of the world. It summarizes the incidence, type, and severity of gross abnormalities of the reproductive system among 180 subfertile dairy heifers which had failed to conceive upon repeated breedings. The heifers appeared essentially normal upon clinical examination. The publication is available for $3.00 plus 18 cents state sales tax from Box 6000, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pa., 16802. Make checks or money orders payable to The Pennsylvania State University. In addition to the Penn State findings, “Gross 130 MODELS 12 TO 48 FOOT DIAMETER BINS Bessaraaas irl Fire Destroys Chicken House A $lOO,OOO fire destroyed a chicken house in Hatville, east of Intercourse, early Tuesday morning after a propane gas-operated heater malfunctioned.

Twelve units were on th m floor of the two story chicken house. It measured 40 by 200 feet. Haycock said the fire was fed by the gas and dust from chicken feed. Both, he said, are highly flammable. Bitter cold weather also affected the fire fighting, Intercourse Fire Chief A. Nelson Brackbill said. Acco rding to Brackbill, it was the coldest fire fighting situation in his 14 years as chief. No Bremen were injured either directly by the fire or from the cold, but some were sent home when they became soaked. Some lines and pumps froze as soon as they were shut down. Water had to be trucked in by Intercourse, Bird-in-Hand, Gordonville, Paradise, White Horse, Ronks, Gap and Lafayette fire companies. The interior of the cement and brick Building was destroyed, the chief said. It sits about 50 feet behind the Stoltzfus home. Brackbill said the building is believed to be insured.
