Disease
Control Book
Given Growers
Not so many year ago only
three potato diseases were con
sidered serious la the United
States. Today the potato grow
er most tight up to a hall dosen
bad ones and guard against a
score other less Important dis
eases which occasionally become
serious.
Oregon has Its share ot these
potato troubles but growers bare
been fortunate In baring bad
some ot the most comprehensive
disease control work in the coun
try carried on at the Oregon Ex
periment station in co-operation
with the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
This work of many years has
lust resulted in pnblication of
by far the most complete and au
thentic bulletin on control ol
potato diseases erer Issued in
this state, if not In the west. It
is by M. B. McKay, plant path
ologist, and T. P. Oykstra, as
sistant plant pathologist of the
V. 8. D. A.
Most ot tbe potato diseases of
Oregon may be controlled or
prevented by methods varying
from the basic plan of crop ro
tation to sprayiug or seed treatment.

Tbe anUre series wtli appear ta this
paper. Our readers are urad to

I do not wish to be considered
an alarmist, yet I do not hesitate
to say that the menace of tuber
culosis among poultry flocks In
certain parts ot the United
States is an extremely serious
matter. In many states the dis
ease is practically unknown,
while in others it is very com
mon, there being as high as 15
of all flocks affected.
T. B. may be divided Into
three principal types: The one
affecting man, known as the
human type; that affecting prin
cipally cattle, known as the bo
vine type; and that affecting
fowls, as the Avian type. Hogs
may become affected with either
the bovine or Avian type.
The annual loss through the
havoc wrought In poultry flocks
from Avian tuberculosis is enor
mous. Add to thst the loss from
hogs which contract the disease
from contact with chickens and
the total will run well up Into
the millions of dollars annually.
Unfortunately, the disease is
not easily recognized in Its ear
lier stages, aud the tuberculin
test is the only sure way of de
termining which ot the appar
ently healthy fowls iu a flock
sre affected. After T. B. has
secured a good grip on a bird.

however, there are certain signs
which csn be recognized with a
fair degree of ease. It la a slow
developing disease; therefore, is
never seen In young fowls.
Birds in advanced atages show
a rapid loss ot weight; wasting
away ot breast muscles; pale
comb, wattles and head; rough,
lusterless feathers; and, very
often, lameness In one or both
legs. Fowls so afflicted usually
have normal, aometlmes vora
cious appetites but gain no
weight.
Whenever these symptoms are
noticed In any flock several of
the more seriously affected birds
should be killed and examined.
If they cave tuberculosis numer
ous round yellow spots varying
from the size of a -plnhead to
that of a pea will be found In
the liver and spleen. There will
be whitish or grayish nodules
on the Intestines or the mem
brane which holds the intestines
in place. These nodules vary in
size from that of a pea to as
large aa a walnut- The ye'low
spots or lesions as they are call
ed may also appear In the kid
neys and lungs.
Once you have definite proof
of T. B. In your flock, take im
mediate steps to put an end to
it. If the birds are of no par
ticular value it may be advisable
to kill the lot of them; burn the
ones that are noticeably under
weight. Those that are up to
standard welgnt may be used for
food or marketed, as cooking de
stroys the germs. The next step
Is a thorough cleanup, burning
ot all rubbish, droppings and
litter, and thorough disinfecting
of all houses and poultry runs
with a good dip and disinfect
ant. All houses where such
fowls have been shouM be thor
oughly cleaned and disinfected
each week ' for several weeks.
Plow the runs often and plant
to some Qulck-growlcg grain.
If yon should decide to restock
st once, chicks may be secured,
from healthy flocks but should
be raised in quarter well re
moved from those of the former
flocks and on new ground. In
making such a start, it Is not
necessary to kill off the old
birds at once it they are yarded
and the new broods are also
confined.
If your flock Is sufficiently
valuable to Justify tbe extra
work and expense, you may,
after destroying the birds that
are plainly affected, subject the
remaining ones to the tuberculin
test. Birds that prove to be
entirely free from Infection
should be put to themselves on
clean, fresh range where they
cannot come in contact with In
fected birds.
Remove droppings frequently
and dispose ot them st some
point remote from the quarters.
Burn tbe carcasses of all fowls
that have died of any kind of
disease or bury them deeply.
Since It can only be spread by
the passage of germs from one
bird to another. It is easy to
see how the danger of Infection
Is greatly reduced by eliminat
ing those affected.
