veterinarian and be free
from cholera along with
their counterparts in the

March, caaaa wart also
confirmed In Maaaadxtaatta
and in Rhode Island. Ac
many of the slaughter hogs
from New Jersey filter
through slaughter operations
and markets in the Penn
sylvania, a state embargo
was slapped on even before
the cases were diagnosed in
New England.
The USDA is now in the
process of paying in
demnities to the producers of
seven herds in New Jersey
which were destroyed to
prevent the disease from
spreading. With 9000 hogs
destroyed, indemnity
payments have reached into
the one million dollar mark
already.
Research into the probable
cause of the disease con
tinued through this week but
no conclusions have yet been
drawn.
“There are many ways the

disease could have been
introduced,'* Hietsch ex
plained. '‘research will be
continuing for some time -
It's still s rough rosd
ahead."
Although the total em
bargo was eased this week in
Pennsylvania, Forney noted
that it would still keep entact
the restrictions against those
affected areas in New
England and New Jersey.
"We have modified the
embargo but are awaiting
more word from the infected
areas before lifting it
totally." the official stated
Encouragement was on
the Ups of every official this
week but although no new
cases have developed,
research into the possible
germination point of the
disease is still continuing
and will so for many weeks
to come.
Chore Time
Completely Automatic
Feeding System
The Chore-Time feeder outsells every other floor feeder on the market tor
one good reason. It helps broilermen produce more dollars worth of bird
from every dollars" worth of feed
How 7 By keeping birds supplies with fresh feed at all times. Because
birds are not confronted with stale, picked-over feed, their appetites are
stimulated. They convert feed more efficiently, gam weight faster and more
profitably.
Fact is, Chore-Time is loaded with refinements and exclusive benefits you ,
don’t find in other feeders. The pulling feed feature and self-aligning pans
are just two that save on feed as well as on operating and maintenance
costs.
