BANNER YEAR
In Tuberculosis War-Mcre lnstitu-
tions Established in 1909 Than Ever
Before.

Hebron, Me-, Feb. 3.--Intercst in the
waged throughout the United States is
evidenced by the fact that in the year
1909 1863 new anti-tuberculosis associa-
lions were formed, 1873 tuberculosis
sanatoria and hospitals were cstab-
]jshed, and 81 tuberculosis dis
pensarics were opened. Compared
with previous years. this is the
hest record thus far made in the
fight against consumption in this coun-
try.
During the year 1909. forty three
more associations for the prevention of
tuberculosis were formed. than during
the PREVIOUS twelve months. and sixty
two more hospitals and sanatoria were
established. On January /, 1910, there
were in the United States 1894 anti-tu-
herculosis associations, 1856 hospitals
and tuberculosis 5anatoria and 20 spe-
clal tuberculosis dispensaries.
During the year that has passed. the
sanatoria and hospitals of this country
treated over $1,000 patients, giving q
total of nearly 100000 hospital days
treatment OF the $1,000 patients treat
ed. about one-half were discharged as
improved to greater or less extent,
and a large percentage of the incipient
cases were discharged as cured. AL
together there are nearly 10000 hospital
beds. provided in the entire United
States for tuberculosis patients, or
about one bed for every 30 patients.
The 1856 associations have 10000 MEM
bers and are contributing close to a
million dollars every year for the fight
against tuberculosis The 265 dispen-
saries treated during the year over 60.
900 patients, who made over 100000
visits.
The following table shows the re-

crop of 1900 bushels
The following year, on sixteen
acres, he raised some over 5000
bushels. In 1903 ian off year, he
Tad 2,e9o bushels on twelve acres.
This crop brought above a dollar per
busnel. while the yield per acre was
small. the margin of profit exceeded
;fiat Of any previous crop. =,
Last year he branched out little,
raising 5000 bushels. This crop has
not been sold. Mr.. Prescott is well
satisfied with his potato deals. The
several crops have al paid good
cash profit The land that he has
e..own potatoes on, following that
crop with oats and seeding to grass,
is in first class shape to produce
good crops OF hay for the next five
