Among recent research achie ?' local ar?a interest, Mr. Bumgardner said, is the de \elopment of vaccine to prevent fowl typhoid. Work is still under way to perfect a more permanent vaccine, the present one effective lor only about three months.

Research has paid off, he said, in all segments of the industry In marketing as well as animal and Plant breeding. Marketing im provements, he reminded, have made It possible for the farmer to become a specialist and get away from* a growing policy of self-sufficiency.
