DIPHTHERIA AND TYPHOID
FEVER CASES INCREASED
In Maryland First Six Months
of the Present Year

Because of an increase in diphthe-
ria and typhoid fever throughout The
State during the first six months of
the present year, in comparison with
the occurrence of the same diseases
during the corresponding period in
1926, plans for increasing the fight
against these preventable diseases
were mapped out at the midsummer
conference of Deputy State Health
Officers at the State Department of
Health. in Baltimore.
DR.. R. H. Riley, assistant director of
the State Department of Health and
Chief of the Bureau of Communicable
Diseases, who presided at the con-
ference, said at it's close: GIN many
parts of the country there has been an
increase in typhoid and diphtheria.
Maryland has shared in the general
f1are-up. From the first of January of
this year to the end of June, 81 cases
of diphtheria were reported to the
Bureau of Communicable Diseases
from the counties. In 1926, during the
same period, the number was 232-79
fewer cases. Typhoid fever has shown
similar increase. A total of 165
cases was reported from the counties
during the first six months of this
year in comparison with III cases
during the same period last year.
"Children under twelve are particu-
larly susceptible to diphtheria. They
can be protected against the disease
by vaccination with what is known as
toxin-anti-tox Before and after the
schools open, in accordance with the
plans worked out at the recent con-
ference, an effort will be made by the
deputies and assistant deputy State
health officers to give the diphtheria
toxin treatment to as many
children as possible, so that they may
be immuized, that is protected against
the disease.
Typhoid is likely to attack people
of any age from young children to
men and women of advanced ages
The vaccine that will protect against
typhoid is supplied free of charge by
the State Department of Health and
the department urges all who have
not been protected against the dis
ease within the last two years to go tc
their own doctor for the necessary
treatments. The local or the deputy
health officer will give the treatments

IF 1T HAPPENS ELSEWHERE
WHY NOT IN OAKLAND?

With the fact in mind that only
one gallon of milk for each eighty
acres within radius of ten miles of
Oakland would be necessary to pro-
duce $500 gallons of milk that the
new shipping station would require, a
diagnosis of the success of the cream
cry at Moorefield, West Va, would not
be amiss.
The milk cooling and shipping sta
ton was established there in October,
1926, or less than a year ago. For
six weeks following all the milk that
was shipped out each day amounted
to the small quantity of 400 gallons.
At that time the country around the
town of Moorefeld was used in the
production of beef cattle, with very
few dairy cattle on the farms. The
country was then and for many years
prior beef raising country, and there
was little thought given to dairying.
Last Tuesday when a party of men
from Oakland inspected the shipping
SIdIlOll, IeCOIuS SHoWSu LidI On VuOH-
day preceding 1892 gallons of milk
had been shipped and that on some
days the figures had gone up to 2,100
gallons. That is the progress made
in a town of less than 1000 people
whose surrounding territory was
given over to the raising of beef cat
tie year before.
Figure this out for yourself. Oak
land could easily start with a ship
ment Of $500 gallons, while the dairy
at Moorefeld, which is considered a
big asset to the community by the far
mers and townspeople as well, sarted
with 400 gallons. Could Oakland do
the same?
During the inspection tour over at
Moorefeld the men visited several
barns that had been converted into
dairy barns. The Supplee-Wills-
Jones Company, who owns the ship
ping station, allowed each farmer one
year in which to alter his barn, and
the inspection also brought out these
facts: One farmer put concrete gut
tiers in the stable, put in twelve STAN
chions, sealed the roof of the barn,
and put in partitions between the
stalls, which cost him SS5, exclusive
Of labor. For about 500 expense to
each farmer they are now bringing in
to the community a monthly pay roll
amounting to $1,000.
There is just one more thing to
considerable water supply. The coun-
Try around Moorefeld has very few
wells or springs, and the ones it has
are very deep wells. All water used
for the cooling tank and milk house
must be carried or pumped for quite
a distance. On the other hand, take
Garrett county. Ninety per cent of
the farmers have a spring on their
land that can be piped to almost any,
where they want it.
If the farmers around Moorefield can
make success of milk shipping sta
ton under the difficulties that they
had to face, is there any sufficient rea-
son why Oakland could not make a
go of a similar station under very
much more favorable conditions? The
facts in the case have been stated.
Figure out the answer for yourself.
