Sore Head 'ui Chickens. 



The demand for sorehead vaccine has continued during the 

 past month and fuhy 2500 doses have been either administered to 

 sick birds or distributed for the use of poultry raisers on this

 satisfaction and will undoubtedly prove of value to the poultry 

 industry when its effectiveness becomes more generally known 

 throughout the Territory. 



Very respectfully, 



Victor A. Norgaard,
