Thursday, May 14, 1931 McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE NUMBER THREB Florida Wins Live stock Judging Con test At Clemson Immunize Pigs Promptly In Chol era Territory CUEMSON COLLEGE, May 5.— University at Florida’s livestock Judging team, composed of Clyde Uasss J. McClellan, and J. A. Hudson, and alternate R. M. Fag- ite, was high scorer at the Eastern Colleges livestock Judging Contest held here May 1. North Carolina Slate placed second, V. P. I. third and University of Tennessee fourth. Hie winning team received a sil ver trophy, while the three high men and high scorers in each class received medals. The three high individuals in the order of their placing were R. E. Byrd, alternate from North Carolina State; A. J. McClellan; and J. A. Hudson. Win ners of each class were J. F. Brown, | premises In communities where hog chol era existed during the winter, par- ^cuiarly in the North, says a state ment from the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Depart ment of Agriculture, hogs that died from the disease very likely were left unburied, perhaps covered with snow. Frozen ground makes it a iifficult task to bury these car casses, and owners sometimes defer this work ’till the snow has melted end the frost is out of the ground, n the meantime, new litters far- owed on the premises, as well as other susceptible hogs brought in from dutside sources, are in dan ger of taking cholera from the in fection thus scattered. All susceptible swine on such should be immunized. North Carolina State, sheep; R. C. (There is always a possibility of in- Carter; V. P. hogs; J.« A. Hudson, mules; and A. J. McClellan and G. Xitton, V. P. I., tied for first on fceef cattle, the former winning the toss for the medal. This contest, which is to be an annual affair, will be held at the University of Tennessee in 1932, afc- cortttng to plans made public at the banquet given the contestants fol lowing the Judging. Judges for the contest were E. A. Cook and A. L. DuRant, sheep; Ik V. Starkey, mules; E. G. God- bey, hogs; and J. R. Hawkins, beef cattle, all being livestock special ists of Clemson College. Coaches accompantng teams here were H. R. Duncan, University of Tennes see; R. E. Nance and J. E. Foster, North Carolina State; F. G. Mar tin, Florida; and Paul Swaffar, V. P. I. fection being present hi hidden places to* which cholera-sick hogs have had access, thus constituting a source of danger, even after the dead hogs have been properly dis posed of. In short, where hog- cholsra infection is known to ex ist, the Federal specialists say, prompt attention should be given to the immunization of the herd. It is not always safe to rely on ability to keep hogs away from places where infeition may lurk. Once the serum and virus used in preventing cholera have been prop erly administered, the owner may rest assured that his hogs are immune and will not contract the disease.
