Poultry Scientists
On Cataract Trail
Two A&M University poultry
scientists are hard on the trail of
an elusive quarry: the relation
ship, if any, between eye cataracts
in turkeys and cataracts in
humans.
Dr. T. M. Ferguson and Dr. J. R.
Couch have noted physical simi
larities of the turkey and human
eyes, and they can e v e n know
what causes turkey cataracts and
how to avoid the trouble. But then

the similarity comes to a frustrat
ing halt. Cataract cause in humans
remains a mystery.
The scientists have known for
some time that the eye lens
opaqueness known as a cataract
can be brought on in turkey em
bryos by simply restricting Vita-
min-E in the diet of parent birds.
The ailment seems to be peculiar
to embryos and does not show up
after birds are hatched, even when
the vitamin is missing.
Ferguson said interest in the
basic research problem of cataract
formation grew out of a study of
effects of Vitamin-E in improving
practical rations. Vitamin-E is
commonly added to turkey breeder
rations today, and researchers feel
this is due in part to their work in
nutrition.
Logic calls for people to make
sure their diet is Vitamin-E en
riched to avoid eye cataracts. Un
happily, it just doesn’t work that
way. The cataract remedy in tur
key embryos is not the remedy for
humans.
But still there must be a rela
tionship somewhere, Ferguson be
lieves. Here is what, he and Couch
have found so far:
Vitamin-E deficient turkey em
bryos develop through a 28-day
incubation period but don’t hatch.
They have large-bulging, white
spotted eyes, (cataract); swollen
legs, and a bump on the back of
the neck and head caused by edema
and hemorrhage.
Ferguson and Couch, collaborat
ing with Dr. R. H. Rigdon, pathol
ogy professor with the University
of Texas Medical School in Galves
ton, have learned turkey eyes and
human eyes have certain similari
ties.

The Church is the greatest factor
on earth for the building of char
acter and good citizenship. It is a
storehouse of spiritual values. With
out a strong Church, neither de
mocracy nor civilization can sur
vive. There are four sound reasons
All is not lost with one failure. As any bowler knows,
it’s worthwhile to achieve a goal on the second try.
The Church was not founded for people who are perfect.
It is for men and women who would strive, despite their
shortcomings, to meet life’s moral and spiritual challenge.

why every person should attend
services regularly and support the
Church. They are: (I) For his
own sake. (2) For his children’s
sake. (3) For the sake of his com
munity and nation. (4) For the
sake of the Church itself, which
needs his moral and material sup
port. Plan to go to church regu
larly and read your Bible daily.
Someone has called Christianity the religion of another
chance. Jesus, after all, placed greatest emphasis on God’s
forgiving love. And He urged men to grasp present oppor
tunities despite past failures.
Earnest Christians today are still discovering in thrilling
ways what man, inspired and strengthened by God, can
really accomplish.
And some of those whose lives have been enriched with
faith and courage once wondered — as perhaps you are
wondering — whether to give religion another try.
