Health Department
Reports Ill Cases
Of Typhoid Fever
Unusual Situation For August
Not Alarming Because OF
Scattered Location

Eleven cases of typhoid fever wert
reported in Montgomery County dur.
ing the month of August. Although
the situation is said to be unusual, DR.
V. L. Ellicott, county health officer
has pointed out that the fact that
these cases were widely scattered
means little danger of the disease be.
coming an outbreak.
The health departments narrative
report for the month follows:
Typhoid Fever-Eleven cases Of
typhoid fever were reported during
the month of August. These were d.
vided almost evenly between the up
per, middle and lower parts of the
county. Several were secondary to
other cases in the same household,
and one was in all probability infected
indirectly from the healthy carrier re-
ferred to in last months report.
While eleven new cases of typhoid
fever is an unusually large number
for one month, the typhoid situation
is IN no way alarming because the
cases did not come from a single
focus.
Observation-Disclosures efforts has
been made to bring pressure to bear
upon open or infectious cases of tuber-
culosis which are living in contact
with children, the object being to in
duce these infectious persons to go to
sanatorium and get well and by so
doing no longer infect their children.
The children of one of these families
were examined at the last tuberculosis
clinic, held in Damascus on August 10.
Three out of the four children exam
med were found to have active tuber-
culosis disease, two with slight infec-
lions and one with more pronounced
infection. Fortunately, all were consid-
cred to have good outlook provided
they could be protected from further
infection. The father of the children.
an active infectious case of long stand
ing, was convinced of the danger of
childhood exposure when he was told
that three of his children had con-
tracted the disease from him, and he
has now consented to go to a sana-
forum.
Preschool and School Examinations
On September first, the first pre-
school clinic of the fall was held in the
Poolesville High School. This clinic.
as stated previously, is of a new type,
the children being examined by their
own physicians and not by the health
officer or other outside physician. Var
ious citizens of the county volunteer
ed to bring in parents and children
who have no means of reaching the
clinic.
Medical examinations of school chill
dren will also be started in the Pooles-
vile High School, this fall, the exam
nations beginning October third. Meet
ings of teachers, and of the Parent
Teacher Association will be arranged
in advance of the examinations so that
cooperation can be assured in getting
parents to act on the recommendations
of the examinations. At these exami-
nations, also, it is hoped that each
child will be examined in the presence
of both parent and attending physic-

After brief description of the

advantages in periods of economic
depression of farmers raising their

vegetables throughout the year, and
told how family on a farm could
live comfortably from the products
OF such garden, and by keep
ing a COW and poultry. Many

no money with which to buy grocer

tables they could live we'll with no

But no Bad Chap rushed out Of

CHAMBER HEARS
fine TALK BY
FARM ADVISOR

Varied experiments and accom-
plishments of the agricultural eX-
tension service in Imperial county
for the past year were described
last night at the Ell Centro Cham
ber of Commerce dinner meeting by
Frank Beyschlag, Imperial county
farm advisor. Especially interest
ing to a dairy community was the
report on the work of the COW test
ing association, under the direction
| of George Winright. Last year
| ,420 COWS were tested and 80 herds
culled of low producing cows with
| the result that the average pro-
duction per COW per year was in
creased from 247lA pounds to PSI
pounds. The individual production
as affected by the sire was also in
vestigated and resulted in increased
production in many herds.
Beyschlag described the method
followed in keeping cost accounts
which disclosed that the cost of
production of pound of butterfat
was 25.3 cents, the lowest figure,
and 1856 cents the highest figure,
the final figures depending to a
great extend on the production av-
erage of the herd. Cost of produc-
ing alfalfa showed that the alfalfa
grower made but 80 cents per acre
cash profit last year, or $16.l5 profit
if labor and overhead not in cash
were not figured. While this is lit
tie profit, Beyschlag quoted several
counties where the alfalfa growers
are showing a steady loss. Silage
and fertilizers were discussed by the
farm advisor in connection with
production.
The work of H. Lee Landerman
with poultry and results achieved
were gone into by Beyschlag, as
was the new California fruit seed
plan, whereby seed is raised locally
and as cheaply as possible for fu-
ture planting. Experiments were
made in the past year in this con-
! nection with double dwarf milo and
white federation wheat.
Boys Work Described
The speaker gave an interesting
report on the boys and girls -Four
H clubs, through which 88 products
were produced in the past years.
In the pig project 1870 pounds of
pork was raised and ID we're in the
calf club. The work of Miss Flor
ence Glenn was enthusiastically
described and led one to believe the
farm advisor seldom misses demon
strations of the preparation of food.
In addition to classes on food pre-
paration, Miss Glenn has done much

Deputy sheriffs who went into the

George SchneI, Montebello, found
no body.
Persons posing as federal forest
rangers informed the sheriff's office
of finding the body last night. Dep

were victims of a hoax, or If the
body had been removed by other
persons.
The body supposedly was found
within a mile of the place where
Schnell's automobile was discovered.
When he disappeared June II, he
left a note pinned to the steering
wheel addressed to his wife. 1t in
dicated he was not planning to re-
turn to civilization.
At that time, q man who accom-
panied Schnell on a fishing trip,

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
WELL WORTH TRYING

DLANS for developing the mineral area
L around Salton Sea will be closely
watched in Imperial Valley, where the
mysterious subterranean natural forces
of that district have long been matter
for speculation.
That there is great potential energy
lying dormant beneath the sea has been
the belief of many since the early days
OF the valleys history. That it can sue
cessfully be developed for commercial
purposes is the equally firm belief of
smaller group.
Several attempts have been made at
various times to harness these natural
forces but they have usually petered out
before any great progress has been made.
In signing a contract with the firm
which proposes to develop the Salton
Sea area, the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict has given inference of belief that
the project can be developed successful
ly.
Incidentally it has paved the way,
without any cost to the taxpayer to en-
able the latter to benefit from any de-
velopments that may result. If the pro-
ject is successful it should be of inesti-
mable benefit to the valley. Should it
fail, no great harm has been done.
Interest in the project will not be con-
fined to Imperial Valley. Salton Sea
has nationwide reputation as unique
body of water, and the mudpots and gey-
sers adjacent thereto are perhaps as
well, if not better known, to thousands
living away from the valley than they
are to many who have lived here for
years but have never visited Salton Sea.
Gases of various types, steam, miner
ais and possibly oil are believed to ex-
list in the area 1t is far better to make
an attempt to develop. them commercial

nature has left them just because some

HAY GROWERS ACT

INTEREST in the proposed statewide
L association of hay growers is not linn
tied in Imperial Valley to those who are
growing alfalfa.
With more acreage here devoted to al
falfa than to any other crop, many of
those outside the industry have a keen
realization of the important part alfalfa
plays in the valleys prosperity.
When hay is selling for So and Sc a
ton, there is no money in it for the grow
er and when he is not making money, or
able to pay his bills, the result is felt
directly or indirectly by the butcher, the
baker, the candlestick maker and all the
others who depend for their success on
the farmers dollar.
The hay growers in various sections
Of the state have wisely concluded that
they are the ones who suffer most when
there is competition between the hay
growing areas, not to see which will
grow the most or the best alfalfa, but
which will sell it the cheapest.
Meeting this week in Los Angeles, rep
resentatives of the hay growing industry
decided that they had been playing a
losing game long enough. Far better for
all of them to work together and regu-
late the production and sale of alfalfa,
than to be working at cross purposes
with no beneficial result to anyone.
The hay growers have made an ex-
cellent start and if the outline of the
program adopted at the coast meeting is
followed through it is certain to mean
better prices for hay and better times for
hay growers and those dependent upon
the hay growers for their business.
We have for years held the delusion
that General Pershing fixed up that
Gran Chaco mess for Paraguay and Bo-
livia. Apparently he didn't.
If Grandi comes here as ambassador
there will doubtless be some expecting
to see him garbed in a loin cloth and
glasses.
