Sheep Scabies Double In Ohio Incidence of sheep scabies in Ohio more than doubled in the last three years despite efforts to control the pest. Ralph Orimshaw, extension sheep specialist at Ohio State University, recently diacltosed that whereas flocks In the Buckeye state were relatively clean of scabies In 1950, Infection was reported in 33 flocks in 1952. Last year, nearly 2,900 sheep in 73 different flocks were infected, The trend during the first three anonths of 1955 indicates a further spread this year. Serious ness of the situation calls for con cern and an alertness on the part of the individual producers, Grimshaw said. County dipping programs arc under way in some areas.

A typical example is announced by Auglaize County Agent Clarence Brown at Wapakoneta. The county sheep improvement committee has taken the lead and arranged for a commercial sheep dipper to do the job for interested producers. Even so, it is important that individual farmers assume responsibility for more careful steps to control scabies, the specialist i stated. The average dipping op- eration by commercial operators, while it is effective for control of fly strikes, lice and ticks, may not be through enough to eradicate scabies if infection is present. Un: der such circumstances, Grimshaw recommends farmers arrange through their county committee and their county agent for a special treatment such as that available through the state de partment of agriculture.

Cows On Pasture Need Dry Feed Even cows on pasture need grain, or hay, or both to maintain economical production, C. D. McGrew, Ohio State University extension dairy man states High water content of pasture makes it impossible for high producing cows to cat enough of it to get the nutrients they need. Cows on lush pasture tend to milk heavily and lost weight, he said. While that returns more profit at the time, it's robbing the mid-summer bank when cows need extra body reserves.

Dairymen can mix grains to fit the supply of each they have on their farm, the specialist emphasized. Feeding tests in Ohio show little, if any, difference in production as corn, wheat and oats are varied in the grain ration. Most Ohio farms, however, use about three parts cOrn to one part oats, he added. Ninety percent or more homegrown grain in the grain mixture is satisfactory for cows on spring pasture. Later in the pasture seamen it will to add more protein grain proaching the winter feeding mia- tures.

Condition of cows and their production are the best guides to grain feeding rates. Shrinking waist lines and prominence of bones are indicators of weight losses and show the need for mora dry feed, McGrew said. Mechanical Egg Cooler Introduced The age-old problem of producing quality eggs may be solved in the near future with an egg- re.frigerating system that send! cool eggs direct from the nest to the table. A recent issue of Successful Farming Magazine says that extensive use of mechanical egg-coolers has been inaugurated in California. In that slate, refrigerated pick-up trucks continue the cooling system by picking up the eggl and taking them to market.

Temperatures in egg cooling rooms should be allowed to rise above 60 degrees. Most customera are willing to pay several cents a dozen premium price for eggs that they know are as fresh as if they had just come from the nest.
