Brucellosis Is Most Costly Malady Of Cattle, Says OSC No cattle disease In the United States Is more Important from an economic viewpoint than brucellosis, writes an O. S. C veterinarian, Dr. 0. H. Muth, In a new extension bulletin, number 682, entitled "Brucellosis of Cattle", which Is now ready for distribution. The disease is frequently call-i r- ed Bang's disease or contagious abortion. In cattle, the veterinarian writes, the disease is caused by a bacterium, Brucella abortus. Re lated bacteria cause a similar dis ease in goats and hogs. However tne latter is not commonly alien ed in Oregon. Either of the three organisms win lnieet numans, causing un dulant fever. The act of aborting is the only easily recognized disease symp tom, ur. Mum states tne time of incubation between infection and the period when animals re act, to tests may vary from 14 to 100 days. The blood agglutln- auun lest, iiuw i-uiimiuiuy UBCU, is the only reliable method for OJaenosme tne disease. The bulletin covers such topics related to brucellosis disease as calfhood and adult animal vacci nation, public health, and control. "Vaccination of calves between the ages of five and eight months ' results In considerable protection to a high percentage of calves," the author points out "Such vac cination, however, does not give complete and lasting immunity to the animals as does the vac cination of calves for blackleg, or the vaccination of pigs for hog cnoiera. "Evidence has accumulated during the past several years which reveals the limitation of calfhood vaccination. It has been found that vaccination does not al ways protect against severe ex posure and that the immunity ac quired diminishes after the first year," ne adds. Copies of the bulletin are avail able through the local county ex tension ofiice or oy writing direct to the college. STREPTOMYCIN ON PLANTS BERKELEY, Calif.

Myrtle Creek , Favorable Market Is Reported For Northwest Wool SPOKANE UP) Sheep growers In the Pacific Northwest can continue to look forward to a favorable market for their pro- ouct, j. m. Jones ol salt JLake City says. Jones, secretary of the Nation al Wool Growers' association, spoke at the opening of the an-. nual convention for the Washing- ion wool growers' association. "Reduced number of sheep and the demand for both fiber wool and meat are factors which make the outlook for the industry gooa, tne speaKer said. Sheep growing is considered a "shortage industry," Jones told convention delegates, and added that problems of surpluses in oth er agricultural fields cannot be applied to sheep. However, the Industry has Its troubles, he said. Failure to find capable herdsmen and "unstable conditions" of grazing lands In national forests were listed among the problems. 30 DHIA Supervisors To Attend OSC Conference Dairy herd improvement' asso ciation supervisors representing testing organizations in 22 coun ties are expected to attend the' annual supervisors conference on the O.S.C. campus, Wednesday, November 30, it has been an nounced by H.'

Money Problems Of Many States .' The il westernmost states have followed the lead of the South and agreed to pool educational facilities regionally to raise the level of training in specialized fields like medicine, law and engi neering. i . . - . , This idea has gained headway boJi in the South and West be cause no single state in these regions has enough money to support a complete set of first rank institutions, covering such studies. Were any . state in the two areas to try establishing schools in all fields, the result almost certainly would be disap pointing to state leaders eager to maintain high standards. A far higher caliber of train ing is expected to come from the regional plans. Under this set-up each state will seek to make it self the educational, specialist in a limited number of fields. Thus California might concentrate on medical and law schools, Utah on a mining school, Colorado on engineering. , Each state will send Its stu dents beyond its borders for training in specialties not taught at home. In turn it will accept students from neighboring states who wish to study its own spec ialties. ,,. Although the less wealthy re gions are snowing tne way in co operative efforts like this educa tional plan,, the richer sections of the country are not unaware of the advantages in such ar rangements. For example, progress has been made toward a big regional 4-H Club Winners Leave For Chicago Congress PORTLAND, Nov. 26.

Okla. UP) U. S. ranchers have been making bigger profits by killing sage brush. This vital part of western stories and films competes with grass, say U. S. Department of Agriculture experts at their field station here. Sagebrush can be snraved with 2, 4-D weed killer from planes for aDout $2.23 an acre plus tne cost of flag men on the ground. Such treatment kills half to 90 per cent of the sagebrush. About a third of a million acres has been treated so far. Profits on such lands have doubled. More than three-quarters of American farm families have radios and sewing machines. Any material which resists the flow of electricity is called a "non conductor." library In the Middle' West to house books for several big uni versities. The library would serve as a central depository for material not in too heavy de mand, which could be circulat ed as needed by students In var ious parts of the region. The schools' own libraries would need to keep on hand, only the books in greatest use. -. -.: There, is serious talk about set ting up a regional library in the eastern area, to serve jointly the requirements of tM New York public library and those at Har vard, Yale, Columbia and Per haps, others. Futhermore. the western states already have started work on a similar scheme for correctional instututions and state hospitals. California, previously about to abandon its women s reforma tory, may now continue it as a pri-son for women offenders throughout the West. Plans are under way ton a single, western school for the deaf. Regional pooling of resources is an outgrowtn of co-operation among the states developed at governors' conferences In, the past 10 years. The states have showed increasing concern over the fact that the initiative has passed to the Federal govern ment in most matters of greater than strictly state Interest. The region-wide approach to educational and other problems is plainly an effort by the states to recapture some of that lost initiative and to restore a better balance among federal, state and local governments.
