Yates Urges Coop.
In Scabies Program
James E. Yates, Chairman of Rappahannock County Sheep and Wool Growers, urges local farmers to cooperate whole heartedly in the upcoming inspection of sheep flocks for scabies. He added, *It takes some effort or/the part of the farmer to get his sheep up for this inspection, but the extra effort is necessary to eliminate this troublesome sheep disease from the nation. Scabies has cost sheep producers thousands of dollars in Virginia, and has limited the movement of sheep to other states. I feel it will be a great step forward if we can lick this problem, and the sooner the better!* The inspection will be made between January 18-29 by local men who have had special training. For additional infopmation, contact the county agent’s office, advisesa Mr. Yates.
Virginia was first classified scabies free in August of 1963 but outbreaks in January and February of 1964 caused a setback. In June of 1964, however, the scabies free designation was again awarded.
All sheep in states that had a case of scabies last year will be re-inspected this year.
