Cows mmunicate
tuberculosis

Out in Edgar County, Illinois,
a farmer had his herd of cattle
tested for tuberculosis. One COW
reacted. Now the { farm e r
thought he knew more about the
value of tunerculin tests than the
State inspector. He, thereupon,
removed the ear tag from his
infected COW and, with seeming
generosity, presented her to his
hired man for wages.
There we re seven children in
the hired mans family, his wife,
a pig and a cat. All save two of
the children, the farmer and his
wife drank milk from the tuber-
culous COW. The five children,
the pig and the cat have all con-
tracted the disease. This SEEM
ingly generous act of the farmer
has thereby been responsible for
introducing into a poor family a
disease which is highly infectious.
He may even be the indirect cause
of a resulting death and be liable
to the charge of manslaughter.
Authorities accept the fact
nowadays that tuberculosis may
be communicated from cows to
human beings; but human beings
cannot give tuberculosis to cows.
There is little excuse for a
thing of this kind to happen in
North Carolina as the National
Government has appropriated
$3.50, 900 and the State Govern
ment SIS, 900 and viii! each reim-
burse the farmer for one-third of
the appraised value of tuberculo-
us cows which are killed, provi-
ded the appraised value does not
exceed certain amount. But il
may happen and it behooves US to
look gift COW in the mouth.

The Women's Club, Chambers
of Commerce, Sunday Schools,
Lodges and kindred organizations
have volunteered their services to
the North Carolina tuberculosis
Association this year between
Thanksgiving and Christmas to
aid in the annual Seal Sale OF the
Association. Never before in
North Carolina has so much in
terest and enthusiasm been mani
tested in the fight against tuber-
culosis and it is with a light heart
and assurance of success that the
officers of the Association enter
into the Seal Sale this year.

is small, tits insufficient TO carry

A special cotton inquiry OF
November l, covering over 49,
600 farms shows that the final
condition of cotton was sos per
cent of normal, giving an aver.
age per acre yield all cotton :
of GIT pounds which is only g
per cent Of last years yield.
Eighty one per cent of the crop
has been ginned and 81 per cent
of that ginned has been market
ed. The average amounts of fer
tilizers used per acre of cotton
was 1868 pounds. Unfertilized cot
ton deprecated considerably
more than the fortified; and
though it is to be noted that due
to the dry summer the plants
were not able to receive the max
imum benefits from the fertilizers
applied, yet the fortified fields
withstood the unfavorable season
IS per cent better than the un-
fortified. The per acre yield on
seed cotton where no fertilizers
were used was 385 pounds, where
only a small amount was used,
553 pounds, and where liberal
amounts were applied 86S pounds.
This indicates that despite the
high price Of fertilizers most
of the fields received liberal
applications.

more is given the Association and
in this fact the Association takes
heart and knows its work is APP
proved by the people.
The program of the Association
can be carried out this year if ev-
cry man, woman and child in
North Carolina contributes three
cents to the work. Of course
every one in the State will not
contribute three cents and it
therefore devolves on some to pay
the health protection for many.
The seventy-five thousand dol
lars needed this year will be
raised if So. so is given for every
death that occurred from tuber-
culosis last year.
Seventy-five per cent of the
amount raised will be retained in
the community in which raised to
be used for the relief of tubercu-
losis patients in that community.
The other Is per cent is sent tc
the State Associa ton and is
used in statewide work for the
benefit of all North Carolinians

The Primary and Grammar
Grade Departments had the
privilege of hearing two discuss
ions of the project method by DR..
Charles McMurry, of Peabody
College. Instruction coming
from one who has done things is
the kind that teachers appreciate.
He was an inspiration to the en-
tire group and one felt glad that
she was a teacher and could
have apart in training and
preparing children to solve the
problems of life.
Roanoke Rapids is to be con-
graduated on having three of her
delegates elected to prominent
positions in the administration
Of the educational program of
the State. Mr.. Coltrane was
elected president of the Associa-
ton of City Superintendent, and
member of the executive board
of the Assembly. He was APP
pointed by DR.. E. C. Brooks to
serve on a committee for Re-
organization of the Elementary
School. In his election and ap-
pointment we feel that no mis-
take has been made and we are
sure that he will render efficient
service.
Miss Powell, who for the past
year served as secretary and
treasurer of the High School AS.
ISOLATION, was reelected to that
position for another year. II
was through her suggestions anc
influence that the Association
this year had one Of the most
interesting programs in the
history of the Association.

BUILDING AND LOAN POLICY

Insurance Commissioner Stacey
w. Wade favors eXempting
building and loan associations
from taxation, he states in his
annual report in showing that
last year $50, in taxes were
collected from them, not one
cent being used for supervision.
I'm spite of the philanthropic
nature of these institutions, their
contribution to the general adj
vancement of the surrounding
community" Mr.. Wade writes,
some of our people fail to look
upon them as entirely co-opera-
tive enterprises, which should
be taxed all the traffic will bear.
when one considers that $780,
900 was collected in taxes from
them last year, it must be appar-
ent that the danger of overtaxa-
ton is real, and, without some
remedial legislation, it is proba-
BILE that their usefulness to the
State in dollars and cents through
the creation Of taxable property
will be lessened by a far greater
amount than the tax collected
from them"
The assets of all the associa'
tons in the State at the end OF
1920 amounted to 500, 1868, lis as
against S23, 452, III in 1919, while
the number of shareholders have
increased to S31, 404, 35 per cent
greater than the year previous. :
