(UPI Telephoto) Warning in County On Bluetongue Corvallis - Sheepmen in this county are reminded that now is the season when blue- tongue may again appear in sheep, x This is a seasonal disease caused by a virus and is spread by biting insects. The disease develops about a week after the susceptible animal is bitten by infected vectors, which may be gnats, midges or no-see-ums. Mosquitoes may be implicated. Bluetongue is known in Jackson, Lake, Klamath, Bak er and Malheur counties. It appears most often in sheep kept in lowland pasture, es pecially areas with stagnant water or ponds. Moist condi tions favor development of the culprit insects or vectors. Bluetongue is not conta gious; it lasts about two weeks and as a rule sheep recover. Shade, isolation, good care and provisions of food and plenty of water are important in recovery. The disease sub sides with fall frosts which kill off the insects responsible. Symptoms Listed Dr. M. R. Woulfe, assistant state veterinarian with the state department of agricul ture, lists these symptoms: Rapid rise in temperature, list lessness, often lameness, swelling of lips, ears and un der the jaw, muscular weak- Over-the-Counter Western Stocks The following bid and ask ed quotations, trom the Na tional Association of Securi ties Dealers, Inc., do not rep resent actual transactions.

The lining of the nostrils and mouth become red and later sloughing of mucosa and skin leaves raw red areas on the tongue, lips and inside the mouth. Lambs on feed or ready for market suffer a se vere setback. In the event of an outbreak in any area, Dr. Woulfe says the sheep will be quarantined to that county and only vac cinated animals will be per mitted to move out for resale, Animals from an infected flock may move only direct to slaughter and may not be re sold or diverted. He adds slaughter animals from non-infected flocks though in a quarantine area may be sold through auction yards but must go to slaugh ter only. Animals from an infected area will not be permitted to enter shows, fairs and exhib its unless they can show proof of vaccination by a veterina rian not less than 30 days prior to the show date. This 30-day provision is common for many of the bigger ram sales and shows in other states. A highly effective vaccine is available and prevention is always better than cure. Lambs suckling immune mothers should not be vacci nated until three or four months old. Ewes should be vaccinated one month before breeding and on no account, Dr. Woulfe states, should they be vaccinated during the first two months of pregnancy. Vaccination in the face of an outbreak is possible, but it is better to vaccinate before the disease hits, he says. Sheep raisers who suspect bluetongue infection or expo sure should contact their local veterinarian.

Marie said she found the surgeon's wife lying on her back in the garage and Finch standing over her with a gun. Finch banged Marie's head into the garage wall and then forced both stunned women to get in the car, Marie testified. "The Truth About Air Safety Today" by Robert J.
