Eradicate Disease In Dairy Market Studies made by the North Carolina experiment station and the veterinary division of the state department of agriculture is help ing dairymen rid their herds of bang’s disease, according toi Dr. C. D. Grinnells, in charge of dairy research at State College. Veterinarians and dairymen over the State have been working with the experiment station and the ve terinary division during the past five years, he said, and deserve . credit for much of the work done, j The only way now known to ■ eliminate the disease is to remove i i from the herds all animals which j are infected. This means that dairy-1 , men have frequently had to slaugh- i ’ i ter some of their best animals, Dr. j Grinnells said, but they have made' : the sacrifice in the interest of the 1 future. Ij At present there are about 115 • : herds in the State which are known :, to be free from the disease, includ-1 'jing 5 5 which are complying with 3 the regulations govering the award of accredited herd certificates, i To aid in the fight against the '’disease, which is sometimes known s1 as contagious abortion, the U.

Bulletin On Pastures Issued At College I The value of pastures land me thods for starting and maintaining a good sod have been set fortl in a bulletin recently published b) the State College extension service The authors, E. C. Blair, exten sion agronomist, and A. C. Kimery extension dairyman, have gone inn detail in outlining the growing oi various types of pastures in dif ferent parts of the State. Pastures can be used to contro erosion and at the same time pro vide nutritious feed for live stock The authors point out the need o: erosion control in this State, when the damage is said to amount t( about $70,000,000 a year. Pasture grasses contain proteins minerals, vitamins, roughage, wate and other things .needed in live stock feed. When animals are no working, they can be turned inn a good pasture and kept in goo< condition without other feeds When animals are working, th amount of concentrated feed the; need is much less if they hav - access to a pasture. Pastures do best on heavy, rid s soils, but the grasses will also grov , on less fertile soils and farmer year.
