Crossan, dean of the university’s College of Agricultural Sciences and director of its Agricultural Ex periment Station, added that “Since June 8,1983, when we first received official word about the presence of AI in Pennsylvania, our research, extension and poultry diagnostic staffs have been working with Delmarva poultry in dustry personnel, state and federal authorities on a daily basis in an effort to prevent the spread of AI to Delmarva. To hold the field day this year would be inconsistent with the extensive disease prevention programs which have been in effect on the peninsula for the past several months.” Serious attempts have been made to eliminate all tours of poultry farms and facilities on Delmarva, as well as activities such as Farm and Home Field Day which would attract people from other states in the mid-Atlantic area including those under AI quarantine. According to Crossan, Farm and Home Field Day at Georgetown is the largest agricultural gathering sponsored by the University of Delaware. “Holding it is very important to our research and extension efforts,” he concluded, “but not at the risk no matter how slight of providing a means of spreading AI to Delmarva. Though we have cancelled field day for this year, we look forward to resuming the event in 1985.” EXPERT REPAIRS FENCERS '■ .. • GENERATORS (■ V- • STARTERS \ W • ALTERNATORS PEQUEA BATTERIES wKp Control.
