HOW ID MAKE
THE SYSTEM
WORKFORYOU
You don’t even have to write your
Congressman. Just get the Vicon Haying
System is all.
Because with this trio—A Vicon KM
mower/conditioner,
one of our heavy-d’
hay rakes or tedder
and a new Vicon
square baler—you
can make hay fast©
better and more
economically
. The KM 321, for
instance, is the fastest mower/conditioner
in the world. It’s 30 percent faster than
other conventional mower/conditioners. A
new drive unit lets you operate non-stop, .
' comers with no
elinevibra
ion or danger
of failure. And
even if you’ve
got a heavy
•wet crop, the
1 KM 321 won’t plug,
and won’t leave you worrying about leaf loss.
The Vicon line of rakes and tedders are
just as efficient in their own right. They’re

with violating avian flu quarantine
LANCASTER - Harry
H os tetter, in business as Harry
Hostetter Egg Hauling, Atglen,
Pa., has been charged with
violating a federal avian influenza
quarantine in southeastern Penn
sylvania, a U.S. Department of
Agriculture veterinarian reports.
Dr. Gerald Fichtner, director of
the state-federal-industry avian
influenza task force headquartered
at Lancaster, said Hostetter
moved eggs on Jan. 4,11,16 and 20,
1984, interstate from a quarantined
area Oxford, Pa., to Elizabeth,
N. J. without obtaining a permit.
In addition, Hostetter moved the
eggs on each occasion without
having them cleaned and
sanitized. Emergency regulations
restrict the movement of eggs and
poultry from quarantined areas to
prevent the spread of avian flu.
Hostetter has 20 days to respond
to the charge and may request a
hearing before an administrative
law judge. USDA officials are
asking for a civil penalty of $4,000
if Hostetter is found in violation.
“Success in the eradication of
avian influenza requires everyone
in the quarantine zone to strictly

Health Organization Influenza
Reference Center at St. Jude

form. Mapping of the genetic
amino acid sequences in the two
viruses, which contain in the
neighborhood of 1,700 amino acids
each, indicates the two viruses
differ only a few sequences, which
apparently can result through
normal mutational changes.
Webster also said that although
there has been no evidence to date
that the low pathogenic form of the
virus exists in wild waterfowl, they
have found component parts of the
virus. He postulated that the low
pathogenic virus indeed may have
originated from such waterfowl
since viruses in the wild are
constantly mixing (mutating).
