STUDY Members of the turkey division of the Utah Poultry and Farmers Cooperative have just made a wront rtf sirvnn tr trip pvtension division of the Utah State Agriculture Agri-culture College for the study of turkey diseases. For some time the turkey men of the state have been having difficulty dif-ficulty with a disease known as "staphylococcosis" which effects the legs, weakens the chicken to such an extent that they are often killed by the stronger birds. The grant will enable the extension ex-tension service to continue study nn this rtisense tn attemnt to find how it spreads and how it can be treated and prevented. Utah Poultry has worked closely close-ly with the extension service at the USAC for more than a quarter century and together many important im-portant steps have been taken in promoting and advancing the poultry industry in this area. The presentation of the $1000 check was made by resident Leon Forsgren of the Utah Poultry and Farmers Cooperative to Dr. Louis Madsen of the college. Dr. M. L. Miner, professor of veterinary service, and Dr. C. I. Draper, head of the poultry division, will direct the research work. All turkey raisers in the area will benefit from the work. |
