Coccidiosis Hits Out-of-State Chicks Mrs. Dalton Eubanks has re cently had an unhappy experi ence about buying-out-of-state chickens.

Prompt diagnosis and treat ment as recommended by County Agent Wayland Reams saved 14 out of the 25 pullets Mrs. Eu banks bought. Agent Reams, like other farming experts, frowns upon the practice of buying out of-state chicks since too fre quently diseased or second-rate chicks are sent into the state.
