Reports received today by the State

In one county the examination of

infection was ~ per cent.
Zone of the most important aspects

effect this high Infection Is having on
the economic life of the people. In

that when we have eradicated a

hundreds OF people. We have increased
their efficiency II can readily be seen
that in county where our tests show
an infection of even 20 per cent Of
those examined this means that a
considerable percentage of the popu-
iation is far below Its real economic
efficiency. Hookworm disease more
than any other malady known In
the South renders its victims perma-

they are treated. AS a result this
disease has for years been reducing
the number OF ahiebodled workers In
rural Virginia and has kept thousands
Of children from developing into

hookworm work being done In the
State will mean genuine economic
npheayal IN those counties where the
people will take treatment and pre-
vnt themselves from becoming again
