In ;fact, if you live in cer- tain states, it may already have arrived, The spray method of vaccina- tion is already in limited use in Delaware, Georgia, Maine, Mas- uachusetts, Texas, Virginia, Wash- ington, and possibly one or two Other states. It's also being tried out in Canada, The new system isn't perfected. •enough yet for individual poultry- men to use. 1Viostly, it's being used either by college poultry- men or hatchery operators. The main thing that seems to be holding it up is that we don't yet have the right kind of equip - anent for spraying, It's a tough engineering problem to come up with • a device that will produce .a fine enough mist in measured amount,. . Most of the vaccine being used is regular intra -nasal vaccine, though it's likely that special types of vaccines will also be de- veloped before too long, Here's how sprayed vaccine has worked out in some tests: In Washington State, Dr. C. M. Hamilton, veterinarian at the Western Washington Experiment Station.; has vaccinated more that 700,000 birds, all the w'ray from Clay -old chicks to laying hens', with good resutt:s. e Dr. Hamilton says that sprayed vaccine gives as good protection ea either the eye or nose -drop method, He uses intra -nasal virus. which he dilutes, and sprays with on ordinary household insecticide %prayer. He sprays broiler chicks at one -day old., and gives them a booster ;spraying at 3ei: to 4 weeks of - ages. When they didn't get: the booster shot, he got sonn.e out- •bmeaks ot Newcastle starting at five to six weeks of age. Pullets raised for layers get a .booster shot at the time they go into the laying house. *• Dr. Hamiltoai got good inamu- etity, when, he .sprayed laying • ltcetis. There. was no change in egg totality, and practically no effect • ieta the 68% rate of lay. In Massachusetts, :Dr. Stephen St. Hitchner, whose research paved the way for the intra -nasal vaccine, has been using sprayed vaccine. mainly a:; ;r "booster" shot. "" rine las our late, t model equipped with a—male back seat driver;" h�- These bards get v; ..r of nose - drop vaccine when they are one day old, Then he sprays them at tout' weeks, and in the case ot laying flock replacement pullets, again just before they are housed. When Dr..Flitchner. has used the spray on day-old chicks, he's sometimes Been complications with other diseases such as bron- chitis and chronic respiratory disease. Dr. Hitchner says that the dif- ference between his results and Dr. Hamilton's may be due to dif- ferences in fineness of spray. or dilution of the vaccine. �; RC in Canada, spray vaccination is being used to protect chicks against bronchitis as well as New- castle disease. Dr. J. F. Crawley of the Uni- versity of Toronto reports that vaccines for the two diseases can be mixed and sprayed at one time, and that one than can vaccinate 10.000 birds an hour. However, he warns that the bronchitis 'vaccine should be used only on chicks that have paren- tal immunity to bronchitis. In other words, the hatching eggs must. be .from hens that have had bronchitis and recovered. With as much experimental work going on, both at experi- ment stations and in private lab- oratories, we shouldn't have to wait too long before someone comes up with a spray system that everyone can use, Prospective Brines Parade In Style "See the island of a thousand gorgeous girls.

A Prayer For HerMajesty Churches of all denominations throughout the country observed a special day of intercession and dedication in connection with the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second.

The Queen's appeal in her Christmas message for the pray- ers of all her people at the time of her Coronation meets with heartfelt and loyal response. No one can be unmindful of the high responsibilities Her Majesty is called upon to carry.

"These young people," he ex- plained, his eyes glinting w.iitb the lights of ancient wisdom, "don't really want religion. What they love is to have somebody tell them how they can sin and be happy.''
