4 THE HARTFORD COURANT: Sunday, January 12, 1958 Wonder Drug Restrictions Relaxed to A recent action by the Federal Food and Drug Administration may result in lower disease loss and greater milk production on Connecticut dairy farms. The FDA has approved the use of the "wonder drug" Aureomycin for dairy feeding as part of the ration fed to dairy cows which are producing milk. The action reverses a long-standing FDA ban against the feeding of an antibiotic to lactating dairy cows. Their use had been frowned upon because traces of antibiotics sometimes showed up in the milk of cows fed rations that contained them. The FDA previously approved the use of antibiotics for poultry, swine, sheep, trade and beef cattle.

Medicated feed is used widely by poultrymen in Connecticut. lifting of the ban relative to dairy cattle reed other applies antibiotics only to the antibiotic feed Aureomycin, Use in dairy is prohibited. The FDA action came following a petition from American Cyanamid which makes Aureomycin, based on research done by the company and the Dairy and Animal Husbandry Dept. of the University of Rhode Island. In the trials, which lasted for a year, various levels of the antibiotic were fed to lactating dairy cows which were considered good producers.

Cows fed Aureomycin at rate of .1 miligram per pound of body weight showed no trace of the antibiotic 1 in their milk. Margin of Safety Found Connecticut Farm News By HAROLD STREET Farm Editor use prove the worth of the antibiotio and see if its increases milk production. The research work showed Increased duction from cows receiving Aureomycin daily at recommended levels. However, these findings are preliminary, and more research will he needed before they can be substantiated. Pananos also reports that the insecticide malahas been cleared for direct application to all non-milking livestock.

It is the first of the class of phosphate-base insecticides to be cleared for direct That level is now recommended for feeding Aureomycin. The research indicates a fairly wide margin of safety feeding at that level. Scientists experimented in feeding Aureomycin up to five the recommended level. Even at rate, slight and temporary amounts of the antibiotic were found in the milk, the company states. The a work with Aureomyein represents another step in the scientific advancement of feeding dairy cows, Associate Hartford County Agent Stanley Papanos said.

Papanos described the FDA decision as "boon to dairymen," since Aureomycin is recommended preventive for the cattle diseases foot, cluding rot, scours, fever. and respiratory infections inshipping These diseases are all important to dairymen. They mean that a cow can't produce milk at her full capacity, Papanos said. Loss from the diseases is estimated at millions of dollars a year in the U.S. The antibiotic won't cure the diseases after they occur, Papanos said emergency treatment will continue to be necessary for that.

But it should make their occurrance a lot less likely. The cost of using the antibiotic is expected to be fairly nominal, and Papanos thinks it should more than pay out for dairy farmers in cutting down disease losses. Will Be Available in Feed The antibiotic will be available to farmers mixed in purchased dairy feed at the recommended level. Some feed companies in the state have the material available now, according to Gil Dedrick of Warehouse Point, who represents Cyanamid in this area. Others are expected to follow suit.

Dedrick said that the feed in which the antibiotie is mixed is recommended as a supplement to regular dairy feed, for once-a-day feeding. Papanos strongly recommends that any dairyman who suspects his cattle are not in the best of health try feeding a ration containing Aureomyein during the winter. The farmer should keep records Insecticides in this class have a longer-lasting and give better kills than other types of maPapanos explains. Tobacco Research Effects Seen Present and future research by tobacco manufacturers and state experiment stations may result in considerable change in types of tobacco and areas where they're- grown and in the size of tobacco farms, in the opinion of Hartford County Agent Russell S. Anderson.

Traditionally, research has been concentrated on improved yields, varieties, and quality, all within the framework of existing growing areas. Up five years ago, the types of tobacco and their geographic homes had been remarkably stable for the past 100 years, Anderson said. Technology might well disrupt that stability in production for which the industry has always been well known. Notable and early examples of this be seen in the Connecticut Valley and in certain sections of the South, following the development of manufactured cigar binders and the demand for tobacco types suitable for filter cigarettes. "These shifts could be accentuated as consumers make known their smoking demands.

With added technology going into tobacco manufacturing, the consumer will be offered a wider variety of blends and types of smoking material. "The consumer's ultimate choice in this wider showcase will pretty much dictate what the new types will be and where they'll be grown. "Tobacco in the United States, by and large, has been grown on small farms. It research in better growing methods succeeds, the adaptation of that technology will of necessity demand large farm units. "This could well mean a serious shift in the size of tobacco farms and ultimately in the number of farmers growing tobacco of all types.

Tobacco has been one of the last crops to experience this pressure, which has been seen in other types of agriculture." Land Bought for Tolland Center The land has been bought for a new Agricultural Center for Tolland County, County Agent H. Elliott reports. The land is located on Route 30 in the town of Vernon. It's the former Town Farm property. The tract includes nine acres of cleared front land, and 12-14 acres behind that.

It's centrally located, and should be convenient to reach, Elliott said. Plans are to build an office building for all county agricultural agencies on the site. In addition, a separate large exhibit hall, for the county 4-H fair and various agricultural exhibits, is planned. This would be an enclosed pole-type building, covering about 10,000 square feet. A drive for funds to build the new is scheduled to start about Feb.

1. Plans center. center will be shown to county residents before the drive starts. Elliott said. In the fund drive, contributors of $25 or more will become members of the center.

Mitchell, Master of the Connecticut State Grange, has advised all Grange Deputies in the state to push the Community Service Contest in the subordinate Granges. As of December 1st, 1957 24.8 per cent of the Connecticut Granges had entered the contest, which runs from Sept. 1st 1957 August 31st. 1958.

It hoped that every Grange in the state will enter this contest and send in their entry blanks by 15th. This contest is sponsored annually by the Sears Roebuck Foundation and the National Grange for community better- ment. State Master's Son Engaged Mr. and Mrs. Emmett B.

Miss Close is a graduate of Newtown High School. She is now associated with the Newtown Branch of the Connecticut National Bank. Mitchell is a member of. the class of 1959, School of Agriculture at Cornell University. After graduation he expects to take over the management of the Mitchell farm which has been in the family for generations.

No date has been set for the wedding. Grange in Washington The Executive Committee of the National Grange for 1958 will hold its first meeting in Washington, D. C. January 13-17, 1958. The meeting will be devoted largely to the development of specific plans for carrying out policies adopted at the recent 91st annual session the Grange.

The presentation was made at the first annual meeting of the new County Extension Council this fall. Contributors to the fund in Miss Weik's name included 4-H town committees in Mansfield, Hebron, and Vernon, the County 4-H Fair and numerous local clubs, individuals, and families throughout the county. Miss Weik has resigned after nearly 12 years in the Tolland County 4-H office. She's a native of Morris, and came to the Tolland County office after graduation from the University of Connecticut. She'd had charge of the homemaking club work in the county since then.

She has a master's degree from Columbia University, and recently made a trip overseas, mostly to the Mediterranean area, in connection with her graduate work. At the time of her resignation, she had no immediate future plans. No permanent replacement for Miss Weik has been chosen yet, Elliott said. Her work with homemaking clubs in the county has been taken over by a local leader, Mrs. John Booth of Vernon, on a temporary basis.

Mrs. Booth has had 16 years' experience in 4-H work. She won a trip to the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago in December, where she took part in a panel discussion on leader training. Veteran Vegetable Grower Reminisces The oldest living member of the Connecticut Vegetable Growers Assn. was recalling past conventions and former conditions in the state's vegetable industry at the association's 45th annual convention in Bolton recently.

K. Driggs, 69, Vernon, became a member of the Vegetable Growers Assn. when it was started in 1913. The group began its life as an asparagus growers association in 1912, he said. The next year, it was broadened to include growers of other vegetables.

Vegetable growing in the state has changed considerably since that time, Driggs said. There are fewer growers, and their methods of growing and marketing are considerably different. The association has changed considerably also, he added. Membership has declined along with the decline in the number of growers. Conventions, formerly considered broader in scope, have also changed.

Driggs exhibited programs of past conventions, held in Hartford jointly with the Connecticut Pomological Society. These were two-day meetings, with full slates of speakers and panel discussions. The two-day meetings continued until last year's the first on convention. In years past, the association entered exhibits at Eastern States Exposition, and the former Connecticut State Fair in Berlin. Driggs showed photos of those and of association exhibits at the American Farm Bureau Federation annual meeting in Boston and the National Grange convention at the Hartford Armory, both in the early 1930's.

Driggs had also exhibited in former individual vegetable competitions at Eastern States, and showed photos of his exhibits there and a first place award he'd won. He retired from active vegetable, growing 20 years ago. He's been a life the association for the past 15 years.

Anecdotes Dr.

Lasker, Chess Champion of the World, wandered into the chess club of a little German town. One of the members, who happened to be the club champion, invited him to a game, not suspecting the identity of the stranger. They played two games, and both times Lasker steered the opening into queer, unconventional channels. from which emerged bewilderingly mid-games. As was uscomplex.

case against even the greatest masters, it was Lasker who saw further ahead and picked his way unerringly through the labyrinth of complications. The club champion was surprised by his two defeats and said to Lasker in perplexed admiration, "You must be pretty strong to beat me, for they call me the Lasker of this club, and you know what that means." Game Selection This game was played in the recent championship tournament in New York City. Mr. James T. Sherwin, who ranks high among United States players, has been located at New London and played some at that club.

While this game' was not concluded, Sherwin had the best of the exchange, andight appeared that Reshevsky lose his first game in the tournament. Sherwin Reshevsky (white) (black) 1 Q4 KB3 2 P.
