DiphtIeria Situation Well Handled

Considerable favorable comment has
been heard for the efficient manner in
which the diphtheria situation, that
for time threatened an epidemic, has
been handled by acting health officer,
DR.. b. f. Perry, and school officials.
No new cases have been reported and
il is believed that the disease has been
checked. AS soon as the first three
cases were reported DR.. Perry devoted
his time to running down the cause
from all pupils in the Israel Putnam
school. Wherever report was the
least unfavorable the child was imme
diately sent home. From this method
three germ carriers were discovered
and taken from the school. These car
riers are believed to have been the seat
of the trouble and their discovery
doubtless stopped a further spread of
the disease. There was considerable
fear on the part of parents and many
children were kept from school. The
schools and did everything possible to
relieve the anxiety of the parents. The
work has been done in such a thorough
manner that when assurances were
made that there was rs little danger in
children attending school, as there was
TO have them anywhere else about the
city, there was feeling of confidence
in the officials statement and the
number of absences began to immedi-
ately decrease until now the attend
ance is practically back to its normal
condition. The manner in which the
situation was met showed excellent
judgment on the part of the doctor and
school officials and served to avert
what might have been in the nature of
a panic. There were twelve cases in
all but all were of mild form and no
deaths resulted.

COUNTY AGENT
Organization Of Cow Test Association
Farm Management Demonstration

Some time ago the farmers of this
section took up the organization of e
Cow Test Association. For some rea-
son or other this work was not finish
ed, probably owing to the coming on
of the busy spring season.
This organization work has now
been taken up by 1.-THE county agent
who has working with him Mr.. Fer
gus from the Dairy Division of the U.
;. Department of Agriculture. Mr..
Fergus has done considerable work in
this state lin organizing Cow Test AS
sociations and is we'll qualified to take
up the work. He has also worked in
such an association and knows just
what the work means. The work of
organization is going on rapidly and
should be soon completed, and the
Cow Test Association should be work
ing before the 1st of July.
Mr. Kennedy is also taking up some
Farm Management Demonstration
work. This work consists of taking
records of farmers business for one
year, from LIST of April of one year to
April LIST of the next.
The figures given by the farmers are
tabulated and worked up to show the
amount of business done and the profit
or loss of the business. In doing this
work the county agent has the help of
IL. f. Keyes of the state college, and
Mr.. Whelpton of the L. 5. Department
of Agriculture.
These men are busy getting records
of farm business in Windham county
and as soon as these figures can be put
in shape, Mr.. Kennedy will take the
records back to the farms from which
the figures were taken and will GO over
them with the farmers themselves, land
Will possibly suggest means whereby
the farmers can increase their profits
the following year.
On Monday, May 81, Mr.. Kennedy
will be at his office in Putnam and
will be glad to see any one who cares
TO avail themselves of the opportunity.
This is done because it is thought that
farmers might be able to come in on a
holiday perhaps better than on the
regular office day, Saturday.
