for exhibitors travelling

The new date of KILE
follows directly behind the
Eastern National Livestock
Exposition at Timonium
Maryland, scheduled for
September 27-October 1. The
Atlantic Rural, Virginia’s
major show, is also held
dining the latter part of
September.
It is hoped, said the
spokesman, that exhibitors
from Indiana and Ohio will
follow the circuit and show
at KILE.
The Maryland
veterinarian said he has
been using the drug,
tetracycline, in „ the treat-,
ment. He pointed out,
however, that in all of die
published material on this
“drug of choice to kill the
anaplasmosis organism”,
there has been no research
to back up what’s been
printed
Tetracycline, he stated, is
an antibiotic. The manner in
which it is used in the
treatment of anaplasmosis
varies with each
veterinarian. He noted the
drug can be used on any
animal except those
scheduled to be-slaugbtered
in the near future.
Carr pointed out that
anaplasmosis may have
been affecting cattle in the
ternational Livestock
Esposition or the Dairy
Expo.
Hallowell said he did not
anticipate the state fair’s
conflicting with Middletown
Grange Fair, the traditional
Bucks County ag event,
usually held earlier in the
summer.

It was pointed out in
previous years, when there
was a month between the
major livestock shows in the
East, many exhibitors went
back home and didn’t bother
making the long tripback for
KILE.
The Pa. Polled Hereford

the announcement of a new
KILE date was good news
for exhibitors. “This 'will
