Most of their questions are Valid and it is only a lack of understanding which prompts them 'to ask them. Field 'ROUGE A -jpcclal field of corn planted to be ready for during and Homo Week at Louisiana State University, Atigust 1043, will be Used in a comprehensive demonstration of harvesting, storirtg and marketing corn, says Charles Severance, chairman of Fa-rm and Home and Machinery Day- Farm and Home Equip- ment''and Machinery Day, Tuesday; 'August 12, will be a Farm and Hqnie-xWeek highlight.

The crbp planted for Farm and Home week combined and harvested as fchfeUed cprh, not in the ear. is to be used for feed is harvested in the ear cob and all are ground or a feicd ration. But since shelled cbnijcah be dried, it is possible to hardest a crop on a shell com basis SorrieAvhat earlier in the season, corn has dried thoroughly The grower can reduce field losses, dry his corn, and hit the market two or three weeks ear- JTer. "Those attending the Farm and Home Week demonstration will be able.to follow the corn through the drying process and into the storage bins, the program chairman adds.

Entomologists will demonstrate modern methods of fumigation to control, weevils in stored corn. A session on corn marketing will wind up the morning program in the field. Highlights of the afternoon program will include a display of all the machinery used in the demonstration and a program featuring "Charley, the Beatnik Tractor," a tractor especially rigged for demonstration of safe and. unsafe driving practices and the causes and results of. tractor accidents.

Also on tractor which will pilot itself. All Farm and Home Week ovents are.open to the general public a's well as to farmers and homemakera from throughout the state. bt all, let me say the bru- celiosia program Is not a frlan created so veterinarians ban make mopey. Brucellosis control benefits almost entirely the farmer, and he is the man that is receiving all the benefits, there is no such thing as profitably living with disease. No matter what the cost, disease should be eliminated if at all possible.

We do not operate our tractors or automobiles with Just half the spark plugs operating, that is happens when we try to Vaise cattle with a contageous disease running rampant in our herds Let me take a few minutes to x- plain some of the techniques the veterinarian uses to determine if your cattle have brucellosis. In testing, for. brucellosis, use is made of the production by the body of specific antibodies that are IDC- lieved to assist the "animal' in ''resisting the disease. One of these substances exisitng in the body of an animal infected with brucellosis is known as agglutintn. It is present in the blood stream in a quantity that depends on the extent and activity of the infection.

When serum from an infected animals is brought into contact with a preparation of' Brucella organisms 'called antigen the organisms gather together in clumps and are technically described agglutinated:" This principle is the basis of thd gluti- nation test which has been found to favorable in accuracy with the tuberculian test for tuberculosis. There are two methods of making the glutinfation test, one of which involves a tube and the othe.r a plate. The choice depends some what on conditions favorable to the use of each. In general, they are equally effi- cient. A typical question that arises in the minds of stockmen is that many of their cows have brucello- sis, though the last calf the cow brought was normal, and they wonder how such an animal can have a normal calf and still carry the Brucella organism.

Localization of bru- cellosis abortus in the uterus and placenta and the resulting death and abortion of the fetus are the most obvious manifastations of the disease; however, -establishment of the carrier state in a large proportion of animals is perhaps the most important consideration -The carrier animal aborts only once after exposure and subsequent calv- ings and lactation periods may be quite normal. At least 85 per cent of such animals remain reactors to the glutination test for more cr less an indefinite period. At least 20 per cent shed Brucella from the uterus at subsequent apparently normal partitions, thus serving as foci of infection for susceptible animals and perpuating the disease within the herds. The loss in milk production by infected cows has been estimated to be '20 per cent. Just because a cow had one normal calf that does not mean that she is not a brucellosis carrier and should not be eliminated from the herd, The United States is the only Country in the world where the government aids stockmen in helping eradicate dangerous livestock diseases, and I am sure if you would ever have the opportunity to travel in some other parts of the world and sec what the ravages of disease do if allowed to go unchecked, it would help convince you that anything you could do to eliminate brucellosis in your herd would be your first consideration.
