EFFECT ON HUMAN HEALTH
OF FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE

weekly News Letter, United States
Department of Agriculture.)
The anxiety hat has been express
ed in several quarters in regard to
the effect upon human health OF the
present outbreak of the foot-and-
mouth disease is regarded by govern
ment as somewhat exaggerated. The
most ear is that the milk
supply might become contaminated,
but in view of the precautions hat
the local authorities in the infected
areas are very generally taking, there
is comparatively little danger of this.
Milk from infected farms is not per
mitted to be shipped at all. The only
danger is. therefore, hat before the
disease has manifested itself some in
fected milk might reach the market.
For tbs reason experts in the depart
ment recommend pasturiZatiOn. AS a
matter Of fact, however, pasteuriZa-
ton Is recommended by the depart
ment anyway for all milk that is not
very high-grade and from tuberculin-
tested cows.
periments which have been made in
Denmark and Germany h a pasteuri-
ZatiOn will serve as a safeguard
against contagion from the foot-and-
mouth disease just as readily as 1t
does against typhoid fever, but in any
event 1t must be thoroughly done
the milk must be heated to las de
grees +. and held at this temperature
for 30 minutes.
In this country the foot-and-mouth
disease has been so rare that there
are few recorded cases Of it's trans
mission toh uman beings. In 1902
q few cases were reported in New
England and in 1908 in a few in
stances e%ruptions were found in the
mouths Of children, which were be-
lieved to have been caused by con
taminated milk. In both Of these
outbreaks the sale Of molk was stop
ped as soon as he'd isease was found
among the cattle. As long therefore
as thed isease can be confined by
rigid quarantine to certain specified
areas h danger from this source is
very small. Should the pestilence
spread all over this country and be-
come as general as it has been al
various times in large areas in Eu-
rope, thep roblem would become more
serious. Underany circumstances
however, pasteuriZation would be ar
efficient remedy. Where pasteuriza-
ton is not possible and where there
is any reason to suspect that the
disease may exist the precaution O,
boiling milk might be advisable.

People Have Found What the

Kansas and Nebraska added a billion |
each to land values. North Carolina
increased it's and values by only one-
fifth as much as the smallest OF these
other States.
North Cardinals Opportunity.
IL North Carolina people will real
ize n this means they will see here
their opportunity. The money that
buys six acres of land in North Caro-
lima will buy only one acre of and in
the older States of the North and
West. The money that buys twenty
five acres OF land in Iowa will buy a
farm of a hundred and fifty acres in
North Carolina, in a better climate.
with surroundings that are capable
Of any development, with soil that
meets all demands, and in a country
that is growing with great rapidity.
North Carolina today has the call
on any other State in the Union if
the people Of North Carolina will
take on themselves the agreeable task
of a~cquainting the people of the Uni
ted States with the facts in regard to
their own State.
Stating the Situation Correctly.
w. L. Rankin, a cotton manufac-
turer and farmer Of Gastonia, put
this thing right the other day in
talking about the prospect OF settling
the State. He said that if he had
'AAAC iS NOofo uliuSi ldhS " OIlIu up
a farm community of thrifty farmers
from other States, and he would not
appeal to any man who was not thor
Oughly able to establish himself on a
basis of substantial financial footing.
His argument was that in the crowded
farm States Of the North and West
are plenty of men who would be
very willing to dispose of their ex-
pensive holdings and use the money to
re establish themselves in a section
where one-fifth the money derived
from the sale of the farms now
owned would buy an equivalent acre
age in a better climate and leave q
snug sum Of money for investmen,
in other industries. An Iowa farmer
owning two hundred acres Of land
valued at a hundred and fifty dollars

thirty thousand dollars buy an equa

farm for much less than ten thou
sand dollars, have a bigger mar
GIN left for other purposes. Or with
much less money he could buy a bet
ter farm than he could hope to get at
all in Iowa.
A Chief Advantage.
There is one of the chief advant-
ages Of North Carolina at the present
time, and one that is not realized suf-
fciently by our own people, and not
sufficiently laid before the people of
other sections. We are so accustomed
to looking on eight or ten dollars as
a customary price for land that it is
be%tempting to~any n who may be
wanting to establish a. farm. Yet I
have no doubt that many thousands of
acres Of extremely valuable land can
be found in any direction in the State
for much less than ten dollars an
acre.
Look at this thing a little: At the
last census there were only seven
counties in the State in which the
average of farm land values exceeded
twenty-five dollars an acre, and these
were Cleveland, CASTOR and Mecklen-
burg in the west; Scotland and Robe
son in h South, and Wilson and
Greene in the center. Seventy-four
counties show an average of ten to
twenty-five dollars, and seventeen
counties an average Of less than ten
dollars an acre.
The average value OF land in Moore
county when the census was taken
was 1862, yet Moore county has a
record Of a hundred and thirty bush
els Of corn to the acre, or one acre
has produced a crop valuable enough
to a for twenty acres OF average
priced land. There is not a county in
the State but has farms that produce
crops big enough on a single acre &c
pay for two or three acres OF the
average priced land Of the county. A
Hoke county peach man harvested q
crop of peaches from his trees the
third year after planting them. Some
body at the time was predicting tina,

for the land, for the trees, for thu
care up to tina time, and that any.
thing further that came from it wouli

a considerable sediment forms, while
the cream is thin n of a dirty color.

when the disease is in an advanced

contagion causes such symptoms as
sore mouths, painful swallowing, fe-
yer, and occasional eruptiOns on the
hands, finger tips, etc. While caus-
ing considerable discomfort, how
ever, the disease is rarely serious.
Where 1t is very prevalent among
animals, some authorities believe that
it is fairly general among human be-
ings, but that thed isturbances it

are not brought to the attention OF
the family physician. There is, how

have been very we'll attended. Father
Wilbee, the pastor of st. Lawrence

instructive manner. Father Moyni-
han, president of st. Thomas College,
and Joseph L. Murphy, Minneapolis at

with lectures earlier in the term. On

comes up periodically.
