Home-Made Virus Foi
Vaccinating Poultry
—
Clemson. May 15.—P. H. Goodin?
extension poultrvman. reports
135 poultry flocks were vaccinated
successfully in 1936 for pox, roup
canker, and related diseases witl
a home-made virus recommendec
by the Clemson College Extension
Service.
Of the 27,910 chickens given thi;
home-made virus only 388 wer
lost, 150 of the deaths being in onr
flock and 60 in another; and Mr
Good'.ng commenting on this mor
tality states that obviously some
thing other than the vaccination
was. responsible for the large num
ber of deaths in these two flocks
Of the 135 flocks vaccinated 102
flocks had no mortality at all, and
132 of the flock owners declared
that they believe it advisable to
vaccinate.
Sixty-three of the 135 flock own
ers who vaccinated these chickens
in 1936 had had outbreaks of
chicken pox or roup in 1935.
According to the 1930 census, the
average egg production per hen
in South Carolina is 62 eggs per
bird, which is the lowest egg pro
duction for any state in the union.
“It is evident that chicken pox.
roup, and canker, which may easi-
ily be prevented, are some of the
reasons for such low egg produc
tion”, Mr. Gooding says. “Poultry
’now ranks fifth as a source of in
come to the farmers of South Car
olina, and we believe it has possi
bilities of becoming a much great
er source of income.”

blood, assistant county farm agent,
made the preliminary inspection of
fields devoted to the growing of
certified tomato plants. Two grow

mon, county farm agent, states
that much interest is being mani

chased a bull each at the recent
purebred bull sale, and one of these
bulls purchased was the top bull
of the sale”, says Lemmon. “We
now have in the county 32 pure
bred bulls, and these are being
bred to grade beef type and native
cows. The calves are usually sold
when they reach the age of six to
eight months. W. K. Turner of the
Lebanon section sold a calf a few
days over five months old for (
$42.00. The only feed used was j
milk and pasture.”
