cultural Extension Service, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Blacksburg. The county agent is the local coordinator, with veterinarians, representatives of the sheep industry, and other state and federal agencies cooperating. Around 250 inspectors have been trained to visit sheep flocks in Virginia during the February 4-18 period. Flocks showing scabies symptoms will be further checked by state and federal veterinarians. Diseased flocks will be dipped under state and federal supervision at no cost to the owner. The County Agent says it is impossible to eradicate sheep scabies by hand-treating or spraying. Only an approved dip will do the job. After the eradication program, routine inspection will be maintained indefinitely, andcoopwlt^
