COF Highlights A good crowd was on hand to enjoy the hard times party at St. Mary's. Mayor George P. Freund and sj^?is were in charge of the evening's entertainment and lunch. The program consisted of the showing of an educatonal film and recording of the "This is Your Life" program, narrated by Fred J. Meyer. The film showed modern methods , of farming and the actors were Leo King and his boys and Stanley Freund and his boys. From reports, both OT' these families proved to be very photogenic and very versatile in the art of acting. Gov Bolger was disappointed because he could not bounce anybody out. All members present came dressed in old -clothing except the mayor, and Gov. was afraid to bounce him for fear he would be relieved of his job in the future. ^8 e v e r a 1 odd characters showed up such as the Old Lamp Lighter, the Chimp and his fellow traveller and as for advance notice, the mysterious stranger came with placards of the 5-for-5 campaign, prospectingt foir members.

Activities Committee ^ C.O.F., St. Mary's Court, " No. 594 One of the recent developments in helping poultrymen combat certain diseases in their flocks is the use of highlevel antibiotic "potentiated" feeds. The potentiation which may be used is accomplished by reducing the calcium level of a feed which contains either Aureomycin (chlortetracycline) or Terramycin (oxytetracycline) at a high level. The reason for the term "potentiated" is that these feeds will produce higher blood levels of the antibiotics than the same level of antibiotics in a normal calcium level feed. Evidently the calcium present in the normal starting, growing or laying rations interferes with the - anti-biotic absorption from the intestinal tract. The value of these feeds is well known by those who have used them, but not so well known, is what effects the low calcium levels have on growing young birds or on laying flocks. To determine just how long these potentiated feeds may be fed without producing undesirable side effects from the lack of calcium was the subject of an extensive research project. Results were recently reported in POULTRY SCIENCE. The expe r i m e n t a 1 work showed that with broiler chicks with a calcium level of 6 per cent could be fed for the first eteht days with no detrimental effects. A calcium level of .2 per cent did affect growth the first three or four weeks, At it was continued as long as 8 days This lower level could be continued for the first four days, hcwever, with no adverse effects. Thus, potentiated feeds for broilers should be used for starting chicks only up to 4 days unless the calcium content is .6 per cent. After birds are 4 weeks old, hey may be fed rations containing either .2 per cent or /6 per cent calcium for periods up to eight days .with no detrimental effects. In one experiment with layers, the calcium content of the ration was reduced to /12 per cent of the diet for a period of five days. Egg production dropped by 10 per cent. However, after the experimental period, production rewas no adverse effects compared with the controls. According to Dr. John Taylor, D.V.M. with the DeKalb Agricultural ass o c i a t i o n, a commercial vaccine for epidemic tremors should be available within a year. It is still necessary to have a few more verifying field tests before releasing for general usage.

Elm Jewel Shopping Plaaza Prescription Department Approved by American Apothecaries Association The vaccine would be used on breeder supply flocks and not on commercial birds. It will be administered through drinking water at the time or just before birds come into production. Two major break-throughs made the rapid development possible. The first was the cultivation of the virus in the erabryonated egg, accomplished by workers at the University of Connecticut with funds raised by the American Poultry & Hatchery Federation. Later, Dr. Taylor and his associates found the method of inoculation was not important, but that the eggs had to come from a susceptible flock. The second break-through was to develop the vaccine itself and find a system by identifying susceptible and nonsusceptible stock. This Was done by inoculating eggs from a supply flock with the virus, and then testing to see whether the virus was neutralized by the antibodies In the egg. If the virus was not neutralized, it can be assumed that the flock was susceptible. In common practice, Dr. Taylor said that flocks would probably be immunized without a susceptibility test before vaccination. islation will encourage participants in the program to maintain former allotment crop acreage in vegetative cover for at least twice as long and perhaps permanently. MAJOR CAUSE OF DEATH REMAINS HEART DISEASE LAW PROTECTS CROPLAND AND ALLOTMENT RECORD Any farmer who deverts cropland to permanent cover under a conservation reserve contract may be protected in his cropland and acreage allotment history for an additional period equal to the period the land was under contract, Bert Bridges, chairman of the McHenry county agricultural stabilization and conservation committee said today. Previously, these acreages have been protected only for the life of the conservation reserve contract. Doubling of this period is provided under a new law passed at the recent session of Congress and signed by the President in September. The legislation provides that cropland which is diverted from an allotment crop to a program shall continue to be classed as cropland for twice the period of the contract and, for purposes of determining future allotments, shall be considered as though it had been planjed to the commodity. This new provision, Mr. Bridges said, does not apply to contracts terminated before the end of the period for which the contract was originally signed. Contracts under the conservation reserve program range from three to ten years. ASC officials hope that the new leg- The major cause of death in Illinois during 1959 continued to be heart disease, which killed 44,014 persons. This was a reduction of 53 from 1958. Second cause of death, was malignant neoplasms (gerterally known as cancer) which felled 16,443° persons. This was 302 more fatalities than in 1958. Figures from the state Department of Public Health for the last *terr years show a steady rise in deaths due to malignancies with the exception of a 192 drop in 1958. There were ninety-one fewer deaths , from cancer in Chicago in 1959 than in 1958, while such deaths dpwnstate increased by 393. Third cause of mortality in Illinois was vascular lesions of the central nervous system, generally referred to as strokes. Deaths charged to strokes numbered 10,894, a reduction of 155 following a four-year increase. Although seventy-seven fewer deaths were attributed to pneumonia in 1959 this was still the fourth cause of death, claiming 3,805. Disease of early infancy ranked fifth with 3,690, an increase of 99 over 1958. General arteriosclerosis, usually associated with old age. Horned 2,069, an increase of 107. Other ranking causes of death due to illnesses were diabetes, which claimed 1,576; cirrhosis of liver, 1,265; congenital malformations, 1,087; hypertension without heart involvement, 1,004. USE OF CORN UP ONE • THIRD IN THREE YEARS A banker is a fellow who lends his umbrella when the sun is shining and wants it back the minute it begins to rain. -- Mark Twain. * The big election campaign headlines have obscured some important farm news items. One of these is that the disappearance of corn in each of the past three years far exceeded all previous records. Disappearance of corn in the year ending with September totaled 4.1 billion bushels. This total represents an increase of 10 percent over the year before, 21 percent over two years earlier, and 33 percent over the five-year average ending in 1957. Total use, or disappearance, of corn first topped 3.0 billion bushels in the year beginning October 1942. In that year disappearance totaled 3.2 billion bushels as farmers fed up surplus stocks that had accumulated just before World War II. Then for fifteen' years the amount used stayed in the 3.0 billion- to 3.2 billion-bushel range. (The year 1947-48 was an exception. The corn crop was short in 1947, and only 2.5 billion bushels of corn were used.) The big jump in corn use in the past three years provides some important questions tor consideration by farmers and Congress. One is: "What caused the big increase in disappearance of corn?" Another: "What is the relation of price supports and price levels to the rate of use of corn?" You may recall that a principal argument for reducing the price-support level for corn was that it would promote increased consumption. The national average support level was around $1.60 a bushel from 1952 through 1956. Then it was gradually reduced until it was $1.12 this past year. Prices received by farmers for corn sold at local markets averaged around $1.47 a bushel during the first seven years of the 1950s. The last three corn crops brought $1.12, $1.08 and about $1.00 a bushel, respectively. The huge disappearance of corn in the past three years, 1957-1959, occurred in spite of an unprecedented increase in the production of other feed grains. Until three years ago, the production 6t sorghum grain never exceeded 250 million bushels. In the past three years the output of sorghum grain ranged from 564 million to 610 million bushels, or more than double the biggest previous crops. The production of barley was far greater in the past three years than in any previous three-year period. The oat crop was small in 1959, but the average for the three years was about normal. Exports cf corn about doubled in the past three years, increasing from less than 100 million bushels a year to over 200 million bushels. There has been little change in' the use v3f corn for food and industrial uses, which take around 265 million bushels annually. Thus the big increase in the use of corn is on farms, as feed for livestock and poultry. This evidence, seems to support the belief that reducing the price of com has brought about a substantial increase in the use of this grain. L. H.
