Plans Underway
To Eradicate
Sheep Scabie
Plans are under way to elimi
nate a sheep disease called
‘'scabie’’ from all flocks in Ne
braska, according to Ted Doane,
extension animal husbandman at
the College of Agriculture. All
sheep flocks have been or will
be inspected.
The program to eliminate
scabie will be similar to but not
as complicated as the brucellosis
program initiated a few years
ago. It will be a cooperative pro
gram with the state and federal
veterinarians and the Agri
cultural Extension Service.
Scabies or scab is a disease
caused by parasitic mites that
feed on or in the skin of domestic
animals. The disease is highly
contagious and is spread by con
tact and through infected facili
ties. It causes reduced wool yield,
loss in weight, and general un
thriftiness. It also may result in
death of the animal unless pro
perly treated. The disease can
1h> controlled with insecticides.
All of the states west of Ne
braska and the western half of
South Dakota have been termed
"scabie free."
In order to become a "scabie
free state," Nebraska must be
declared an “eradication area.”
The state is going through the
procedures necessary to do this.
Federal and state veterinarians
are administratively responsible
for making the program a suc
cess and have asked for our help.
In order to be an "eradication
area,” systematic inspection of all
flocks in the state must be car
ried out.
Here are the state procedures
that must be followed: Acquire a
list of sheep producers; conduct
down-the-road inspection; make
routine checks of areas where
sheep are shipped in regularly;
quarantine all infected flocks and
treat at the expense of the owner;
reinspect infected flocks 60 days
after dipping and quarantine
areas of state if necessary.

Three Friendly Neighbors of Ifours
Like your other neighbors, your friendly Co-ops have different
"personalities,” and do different kinds of work.
One type of Co-op buys products for customers
at the least possible cost. By purchasing quality
in quantity, this Co-op, acting as a purchasing
agent, saves its customers money on such items
as feed, fertilizer, seed and other farm supplies.
It can also provide petroleum products, groceries
and other consumer goods. Without Co-ops,
farmers are forced to sell their products at
wholesale prices and buy at retail prices.
Farmers who want to sell their grain, milk, live
stock, or other products to the best advantage
may depend on their Co-op “Salesman,” or the
marketing Co-op. This friendly neighbor repre
sents the farmer in several ways. It receives his
products, grades, sorts and stores them, then
markets them profitably.
Many important services are performed by this
neighborly Co-op. They include specialized fi
nancial service as provided by the Production
Credit Associations, Federal Land Bank Asso
cations, and Banks for Cooperatives. Such serv
ices also include local credit unions, mutual in
surance companies, rural electric associations,
and many miscellaneous associations providing
transportation, medical and hospital care, burial
services and improvement of feed, seed, and soils.
Coiops are as American as
the Statue of Liberty
