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 
ff ho have bad 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 Ba¬ 
cillus 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 500 
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.” 
Eastern Pennsylvania Notes 
Oliver D. Schock 
A GROUP of taxpayers representing 
State Grange, asked for a decree to 
restrain a proposed bonus amendment 
vote which was to provide for an issue 
of $35,000,000 in bonds to pay the 
proposed soldiers’ bonus, if adopted. It 
was to determine the legality of the bonus 
amendment and an amicable proceeding 
will be instituted. 
A number of farmers who own fields 
infected with Canada thistles expect to 
eradicate the pest by sowing the ground 
with alfalfa seed in a liberal quantity. 
As the alfalfa develops, its roots and 
foliage eventually crowd out obnoxious 
plants. A leading dairyman near Harris¬ 
burg adopted this plan with success. 
A notable feature of the pre-Easter 
markets was the prominence of flowering 
bulbs in full bloom on many farmers’ 
market stalls. These sold readily at 
remunerative prices. A Cumberland 
County farmer’s wife has found it easy 
to grow hyacinths, narcissus, tulips and 
daffodils. A collection of crocus plants 
in pots also sold quickly. Easter lilies 
did not flourish so well this spring. J 
A controversy as to the extermination 
of crows has attracted attention in the 
State of Pennsylvania. Sentiment is 
divided. No less than 10,000 crows were 
shot in this State in one day, due to a 
concerted movement on the part of its 
enemies. There is no protective law in 
their favor. The field of rural economics 
certainly has many and varied out- 
reaching arms for farmers. 
Maple syrup and sugar need not go 
begging for a good market this season. 
Prices of both articles are slightly higher 
than last year, with an excellent demand 
for high-grade products. The maple 
trees of Pennsylvania taken collectively 
will not produce as largely as expected 
earlier in the season.

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 only 
thing for this terrible disease. We raised 
(00 thrifty, healthy chicks and never lost 
a single chick after the first dose.”

Special Train Service to be Given 
New Jersey Truck Growers 
A SPECIAL train service has been 
arranged for truck growers of the 
northwestern part of New Jersey, through 
the efforts of the County Agent of Sussex 
County, and the State Bureau of Markets, 
Trenton. This transportation project 
will in effect give the growers an eight- 
hour service into Newark terminal 
markets and will be made a permanent 
feature if farmers give it the necessary 
support to make it profitable for the 
railroad. 
Need for better transportation service 
on perishable crops has long been ap¬ 
parent to the marketing specialists. 
Truck-growing on the muck lands of that 
section of the State has become a highly 
specialized business and there is a big 
demand in the New York City area for 
the home-grown products. Getting these 
products to market has for years been a 
serious problem for the growers. Motor 
truck service has been tried with varied 
success, and the original freight schedules 
were unsatisfactory. The new plans for 
a fast train service will require the cooper¬ 
ation of the growers in making prompt 
shipments possible and the railroad 
agents have indicated that the greater the 
volume of business given the special train, 
the better service the road can afford to 
provide. __
