White Diarrhea 
Remarkable Experience of Mrs, 
C. M. Bradshaw in Prevent¬ 
ing White Diarrhea 
The following letter will no doubt be 
of utmost interest to poultry raisers 
who have had serious losses from White 
Diarrhea. We will let Mrs. Bradshaw 
tell of her experience in her own words: 
“Gentlemen: I see reports of so 
many losing their little chicks with 
White Diarrhea, so thought I would 
tell my experience. I used to lose a 
great many from this cause, tried many 
remedies and was about discouraged. 
As a last resort I sent to the Walker 
Remedy Co., Dept. 437, Waterloo, Iowa, 
for their Walko White Diarrhea Remedy. 
I used two 50c packages, raised 300 
White Wyandottes and never lost one or 
had one sick after giving the medicine 
and my chickens are larger and healthier 
than ever before. I have found this 
company thoroughly reliable and al¬ 
ways get the remedy by return mail.— 
Mrs. C. M. Bradshaw, Beaconsfield, 
Iowa.” 
Cause of White Diarrhea 
White Diarrhea is caused by the Bac¬ 
illus Bacterium Pullorum. This germ is 
transmitted to the baby chick through 
the yolk of the newly hatched egg. 
Readers are warned to beware of White 
Diarrhea. Don’t wait until it kills half 
your chicks. Take the “stitch in time 
that saves nine.” Remember, there is 
scarcely a hatch without some infected 
chicks. Don’t let these few infect your 
entire flock. Prevent it. Give Walko in 
all drinking water for the first two weeks 
and you won’t lose one chick where you 
lost hundreds before. These letters 
prove it: 
Never Lost a Single Chick 
Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek, Ind., 
writes: “I have lost my share of chicks 
from White Diarrhea. Finally I sent for 
two packages of Walko. I raised over 50C 
chicks and I never lost a single chick from 
White Diarrhea. Walko not only pre¬ 
vents White Diarrhea, but it gives the 
chicks strength and vigor; they develop 
quicker and feather earlier.” 
Never Lost One After First Dose 
Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shenandoah, 
Iowa, writes: “ My first incubator chicks, 
when but a few days old, began to die by 
the dozens with White Diarrhea. I tried 
different remedies and was about discour¬ 
aged with the chicken business. Finally, 
I sent to the Walker Remedy Co., Water¬ 
loo, Iowa, for a box of their Walko White 
Diarrhea Remedy. It’s just the onlv 
thing for this terrible disease. We raise* 
700 thrifty, healthy chicks and never lost 
a single chick after the first dose.” 
You Run No Risk

Remedy entirely at our risk—postage pre¬

Diarrhea in baby chicks. So you can

ing water for the first two weeks and 
watch results. You’ll find you won’t lose 
' one chick where you lost hundreds before. 
It’s a positive fact; We guarantee it.

loo, Iowa, stands back of this guarantee,

New York Farm News 
A CCORDING to L. J. Steele, editor 
of The Cabbage and Potato Coop¬ 
erator, the official organ of the General 
Organization Committee of Cabbage and 
Potato Growers of New York State, the 
campaign to organize New York potato 
and cabbage growers is progressing 
steadily. Weather conditions during the 
past few weeks have been very detri¬ 
mental and as a result it has been neces¬ 
sary to postpone several meetings in 
various counties. 
Active campaigns are being conducted 
in fhyuga, Chenango, Genesee, Madison, 
Ontario, Schuyler, and Wayne Counties. 
Contract signing is actually under way 
in those various sections. Local and 
county-wide meetings have been held ip 
Allegany, Livingston, Steuben and Yates 
Counties. Contract campaigns for signa¬ 
tures will be launched during the latter 
part of March. Mr. Steele states that 
cabbage and potato growers who have 
not been approached by the representa¬ 
tives of the cooperative and who wish to 
join, the organization may send their 
names directly to him at 208 Davis 
Building, Rochester, N. Y. 
The Hearing on the School Bill 
T HE legislative hearing on the School 
Bill in the Assembly Chamber at 
Albany on March 19th was one of the 
largest hearings in years. The Assembly 
Chamber was filled with both those for 
and against the bill, and the discussion 
pro and con lasted for several hours. 
As one newspaper heading stated, the bill 
was both “much cheered and jeered.” 
It is difficult to tell who had the best 
of the argument because a great many of 
the speakers did not confine themselves 
to a discussion of the principles proposed 
as outlined in the Downing-Porter Bill 
itself. But on the whole, there w;fs a very 
good list of speakers on both sides, and for 
the most part, with a few exceptions, in 
spite of the intense feeling which seemed 
to prevail, the hearing was conducted in 
an orderly manner. The speakers re¬ 
frained from unpleasant personalities 
and put their arguments in a courteous 
manner. The matter now rests with the 
Educational Committees in both houses 
and with the legislature itself. 
Canning Factory Field Men 
Meet at Cornell 
M ORE than forty canning factory field 
representatives, most of whom work 
in western New York territory, attended a 
four-day extension school for intensive 
training in crop cultural methods at the 
State College of Agriculture, Ithaca, 
N. Y., March 18 to 24. 
This session was the first of its kind ever 
scheduled in this state for canners’ field 
men and was under the direction of H. C. 
Thompson, head of the vegetable gar¬ 
dening department. 
The school program included lectures 
and discussions regarding vegetable and 
small fruit canning crops by experts from 
both the College of Agriculture and the 
Geneva experiment station. Part of the 
program was given over to consideration 
of mutual field problems. 
The registration showed that a large 
majority of the New York canning fac¬ 
tories were represented. 
Delaware County Notes 
Cauliflower is becoming an important 
crop in Delaware County. The 1923 
crop reached the half million dollar mark. 
The indications are that the 1924 crop 
will be much larger. 
The past few days of warm weather 
have spoiled slfcighing on State roads. 
Man> r loads of wood are going into town, 
at prices ranging from $3.50 to $5 per 
cord. Butter retails at GOc. Merchants 
are paving 28c for eggs, 7c for hides, 90c
