With an expected attendance of be tween 800 and 1,000 farm boys and girls, the annual State 4-H club short course held at State College during the week of July 30 to August 4 will likely be one of the principal farm events in North Carolina this year. “Our four-H clubs are better or ganized in all parts of North Caro lina than ever before,” says L. R. Harrill, club agent. “The program for our annual State encampment has been in the course of preparation for some weeks and we have a balanced meeting in which play and recreation will take an important place along with the courses of instruction. For j the boys we shall start the day with ■ a swim at 6:30 o'clock each momiTig. Then after breakfast, the young men will go to their classes in poultry, i livestock, farm shops and field crops. | Games, sightseeing, rest and recrea-, tion will be the program for the af- ' temoons.” i Miss Maude E. Wallace, in charge I of the girls’ club work, has arranged courses in food and health, clothing, room improvement, recreation, poul try and culture. House mothers who will have charge of the girls during the week are Misses Mattie Lee Coo ley, Ethel Nice and Daisy Caldwell and Mrs. Sabrie Williams Reid. Sev eral of the home agents have been se lected to aid in the teaching work also. Miss Ella Gardner, of Wash ington, D. C., will have the courses in recreation for the girls and Miss Fannie Buchanan, of a leading talk ing machine company, will teach inusic appreciation. The young folks will need little spending money during the week. The actual cost of the camp is $7..50 per person, this to include all charges for room and board, laboratory fees and other incidentals. The young people will be divided into groups with com petent leaders in charge and some re-^ sponsible person will be on duty with them each minute of their stav. n COCCIDIOSIS. The following questionnaire on coc- cidian diarrhea should be of a helpful nature to all interested in poultry and especially to members of poultry clubs. In studying same they should be able to know definitely some of the effects and causes and how to identify the disease. Question: What is coccidian diar rhea? Answer: A disease of chicks affect ing mostly the intestinal tract. It i*? also found in mature domesticated fowls and in some wild birds. It is caused by a germ commonly known as coccidium avium and is classed in the animal kingdom. Question: At what age are chicks affected ? Answer: It is found in chicks more frequently between the ages of two weeks and three months. Question: What are the sources of infection ? Answer: The droppings of affected chick.s containing the germs contam inate the runs or lots, brooder houses, utensils used for feeding and drink ing. Question: Do climatic conditions or seasons have any bearing on this dis ease ? Answer; In the summer months the disease is more prevalent as a rule. Early hatched chicks seem to be less affected. In a dry spring or summer there is less troubble from same. Question: Does moisture have much influence in growth of germs causing the disease? • Answer: Dryness and sunshine pre vent the life of this germ outside the body of the chick. Moisture is most favorable to its growth. Question: What are the symptoms of the disease in chicks? Answer; They vary according to the severity of the infection and the age of the chicks. In very young chicks the disease develops very rap idly once it has a foothold. General ly there is intestinal disorder such as diarrhea which will vary in consist ency from a semi-fluid to a liquid. Color will vary from a grayish with a little brown mixed with it in the early staj^es to a dark brown streaked with blood or even passing a lot of blood in very acute stages. Feathers become ruffled with drooping wings, loss of appetite and chicks stand around sleeping most of the time. Question: What are the post-mor tem findings? Answer: When chicks that die from the acute form of coccidiosis are opened up you will find that the con tents of the blind guts contain blood. In the less acute cases the contents are of a brownish color. In the chomic cases you will sometimes find a solid rotten mass and when thsi is taken out the gut will adhere to it. Chicks that die in the acute stages are usually in fair flesh, while those in a chronic stage show a wasting away. Question: How may coccidiosis be prevented ? Answer: The brooder houses should be kept thoroughly clean and drop pings removed each morning. Dis infecting same at regular intervals using 4 per cent solution of some good disinfectant is necesary. Boil ing hot strong soap suds will do very well. The day this is done it should be warm that chicks may be shut out of brooder house most of the day. The feeding and drinking vessels should be disinfected regularly and so made that chicks cannot soil either feed or water. Chicks that show symptoms, do not look good, are past ed up behind, should be immediately removed from the brood. There are in most every lot of chicks a few weakklings and it is best to take the bull by the boms, kill and bum these as soon as noticed. A stitch in time saves nine so we are told and know it to be afact. * If possible use new ground for chicks, build brooder houses on skids that same can be moved every now and then by the use of the farm team and this is pos sible on our farms. Keep the brooder warm, but do not try to heat the whole house. The brooder is nothing more or less than a hen under which any chick can go at any time to be warmed up a little. Fresh air with no drafts is necessary and the chicks should be allowed outdoors as much as the weather will permit. Question: Is feeding important in"j controlling the disease? Answer: Yes, most important. The chicks should not be fed until they are 48 to 60 hours old. The feeding of sour milk or buttermilk has proved { H to be one of the best. Give all they . H will drink. Cod liver oil assists in 11| building up a strong system. If you do not have milk one can by semi solid or dried buttermilk. In flocks that are infected it is best to take away all grain food as they have a tendency to irritate the intestinal tract. Feed up to 40 per cent dried milk i nthe mash or give all they will! drink, and moisten the dry mash with I same. This and sanitation, new soil, etc., will check the disease with few losses in most instances. Do not crowd too many chicks under one brooder, prefer never to have over 300 in any one flock in any one brooder house. Question: Are drugs of any value in preventing or treating the dis ease ? Answer: Yes, but drugs will not do it all, nor will they be better than the above methods. Catechu has proven fairly effective using it in the drinkking water at the rate of one- third teaspoonful to the gallon. Sul- phophenols are valuable intestinal an tiseptics and can be used in the water or milk. A light does of Epsom salts every two weeks when the disease is present will be found effective. Sour milk kand a plenty of it stands out as the one best thing to grow good chicks and do it in a very short time and at the same time control cocci diosis and other minor digestive trou bles in chicks. town Saturday.
