ed the group, and encourag
ed the produce buyers to in
form their customers the
russet “beauty marks” on
the Golden Delicious apples
are the result of the apple
having less natural wax than
others. Any abrasive
weather, harsji sun or too
much moisture, causes the
coarse lenticel, he added. '
“If the produce buyers
continue to be innovative
and accept the opportunity
and challenges of marketing
these Pennsylvania apples,
the customers will soon be
satisfied with the way the ap
ple eats rather than the way
it looks,” he concluded.

vaccine for

East Coast
disease
NEW YORK, N.Y. - A
vaccine has been licensed by
the U.S. Department of
Agriculture for the
prevention of a canine
disease that has recently
broken out in New York City
and all along the Eastern
seaboard.
Dellon Laboratories of
Omaha, Neb., was issued the
first such license to produce
and distribute a vaccine for
canine parvovirus.
According to Pierre A.
Chaloux, deputy ad
ministrator of tiie USDA’s
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service,
parovirus infections in dogs
are usually characterized by
severe diarrhea,
dehydration, loss of appetite,
vomiting, high temperature
and a low white blood cell
count
Canine parvovirus is
contagious and is usually
spread quickly in dog
colonies, kennels and places
were dog-to-dog contact is
prevalent. It is often spread
by ingestion of dog feces.
The infection, which was
unknown until the latter part
of 1978, has been reported in
all areas of the U.S.
