The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday February 22, 1979 ELEVEN
Cattle skin disease eliminated from Oregon county
Scabies, a skin disease of
cattle, has been eliminated
from the two infected
Klamath County herds where
it was found in December, but
Oregon Department of Agri
culture officials, ranchers and
feedlot operators are contin
uing to be alert for evidence of
any new cases, according to
John Nordheim, Morrow '
County Livestock Agent. Ore
gon, however, is still on the list
of states with outbreaks.
Dr. Glenn Rea, state veteri
narian, said that the Klamath
County cases have been
traced to a California feedlot
and a herd in that state.
Oregon is presently consider
ing whether a quarantine
should be placed on cattle
entering from California. Dr.
Rea said a recommendation
will probably be made at the
Klamath Falls meeting, on
Feb. 7, on whether a quaran
tine should be imposed. If
California cattle are quaran
tined, Oregon will require all
cattle in herds from there
known to have the disease or
from herds in contact with the
disease, to be dipped twice
before entering Oregon. The
dippings would have to be
under the surveillance of
Oregon officials.
Cattle coming from endemic
states must also be dipped at
least twice at 10 to 14 day
intervals in an authorized
solution. Such cattle must be
shipped within 10 days of the
last dipping and must not have
been exposed to other cattle
while waiting shipment.
Cattle scab is caused by the
mite Psoroptes scabei and has
become widely diffused, af
fecting a large number of
animals in some areas. The
small mite burrows into the
animal's skin and can cause
great economic loss to cattle
men. If an animal is not
treated there can be a decline
in its weight and health with
death resulting from second
ary infections in extreme
cases. Scabies is related to the
other marines such as demo
dectic, chorioptic and sar
coptic. Differential diagnosis
is done with the aid of a
microscope.
Oregon's hist known out
break prior to the one in
Klamath County was in 1977 at
a Nyssa Feedlot. Before that
Scabies was confirmed in
Columbia County in 1961.
Presently, standing quaran
tines have been placed on the
states of Texas, New Mexico,
Oklahoma and Colorado. In
addition, California, Arizona,
Wyoming, South Dakota, Kan
sas. Minnesota, Nebraska,

Iowa and Illinois have scabies
infected areas. Cattle from
these areas must not be
imported without having been
dipped twice, under supervi
sion, with an approved prod
uct within a ten to fourteen
day interval. The second
dipping can be accomplished
upon arrival in Oregon if
previous arrangements with
the Animal Health Division of
the Oregon State Department
of Agriculture.
If there are further ques
tions, call 1-800-452-7813 exten
sion 4710 (toll free), or
1-378-4710. This is the same
number used to apply for an
import permit.
Spud diversion
program
extended
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture has extended until
Feb. 23 its $2 per hundred
weight payments to growers
who divert russet potatoes to
livestock feed or starch,
Secretary of Agriculture Bob
Bergland has announced in
Washington, D C.
Payments in the potato
diversion program, initiated
by the department to offset
price-depressing effects of the
fall crop potato surplus, were
originally scheduled at $2 for
the first 30 days, Jan. 15
through Feb. 13. and $1.75 for
the second 30 days, Feb. 14
through March 15.
Secretary Bergland said the
higher payment was being
extended because unusually
severe weather has prevented
growers from diverting the
volume planned. Only ,.alf the
9 million hundredweight auth
orized had been diverted by
Feb. 12.
Payments for the remainder
of the program Feb. 24
through March 15 will be at
the $1.75 rate.
The amendment to the
polalo diversion regulations
extending the $2 payment also
provides a clarification of
adequate livestock pasturing
as a basis for payments for
potatoes diverted for spring
grazing.
County fair
seeks carnival
Members of the Morrow
County Fair Committee and
the Heppner Lions Club are
actively seeking a carnival to
appear at this year's fair, but
they aren't having much luck
in finding one.
Larry Mills, Lions Club
president, said, "Our fair
dates conflict with many of the
bigger shows and, naturally,
the carnival operators have to
go where the money is."
Anyone having an idea as to
where a carnival can be
obtained should call Mills at
676-5546 or Bill Kuhn at
676-5033.
