OTTAWA — Agriculture Min-, ister Harry Hays téday announc- ed changes in the federal scra- pie eradication program.

In the past. all infected ani- - mals, their progeny, and any other sheep that had contacted infected animals. were destroy- ed

The modified program—while continuing to stress control and eradication of the disease—will now permit the retention of

This major change in the pro- gram should result in an over- all reduction of 50 to 60 per cent in the number of sheep bein

scrapie has been identified in 30 flocks resulting in 16,100 sheep being destroyed. The govern- ment will continue to pay com- pensation for animals. destroyed under the new program. -Scrapie is a disease of sheep and goats that affects-the’ cen- tral nervous system causing them to rub and scratch: they become emaciated and die. . Sheep of any breed are suscep- tible

The modified program embo- dies the results of ex~erience gained in the field and through research. It places greater importance on tracing affected blood lines, while at the same-—time not- disregarding the possibility of spread by contact.

After scrapie has been con- firmed in a flock, a complete study will be made of the his- tory of the flock. sheep purchas- ing practices, numbers of infect- ed animals, extent of blood lines, and other factors. This assess- ment will be used in deciding which animals will be slaugh- tered and which may be quar- antined

Mr. Hays said that the modi- fied scrapie program lad been reviewed and approved by sheep industry representatives. The new scheme has been closely co-

Politicians

e over ; ’ s moon's job Time was when the moon her- self ruled the Island. Now its the politicians who have taken over

the moon's job and a sorry mess they are making of things.

But to return to the moon. In pioneer days farmers swore by the lamp of heaven. She could do no wrong, and when she told ‘em to plant their spuds and oth- er root crops in her light there was no arguments. And when she told ‘em to plant above soil crops while she was in her dark period they did just that—and they reaped good harvests.

Weeds were yanked out in the dark of the moon. and timber was always cut when the old gal was in her last quartet. To cut lumber at any other time was sheer madness as it rotted away after a few year's use.

Orchards and hedges were manicured in her light if one wanted them to put forth their best production. Some farmers even went so far as to say that no pigs should be slaughtered in

the dark of the moon—that is, #%
