ago. that a microorganism found In the
blood Of cattle is the cause of splenetic
fever, and that the disease Is trans
mitted by the cattle tick
During the years 1888 to 1893 four
men spent most of their time trying
to make that discovery. Splenetic fever
had become a costly disease of cattle
throughout the South. Homemade rem
edies, treatment by skilled veterina-
rians alike proved futile. The disease
was costing the live stock industry and
ultimately the consumer Of meat, many
millions of dollars.
The four Department OF Agriculture
scientists, in the employ of the Gov
| ernment because they wanted to pur-
| sue scientific research without Interrupt
ton, and at salaries sadly out of line
| with their worth to the Nation-these
men kept doggedly on the job despite
all sorts of obstacles and disappoint-
| ments. The joy of achievement was
their chief reward. And their achieve
ment proved to be of lasting benefit
not only to the live stock industry, but
to all pankipd. for their research was
, the first demonstration that a mi
crobial disease can be transmitted ex-
clusively by an insect host or carrier
Control. Of Yellow Fever.
From that came the knowledge, at
the hands of other scientists. that yel-
low fever malaria, sleeping sickness and
other maladies are similarly transmitted
From that flowed the successful con-
troll of yellow. fever. for instance, which
in turn made possible the building of
the Panama Canal. So it can truth
fully be said that the success of four
Department of Agriculture scientists in
discovering the cause of q cattle dis
ease was a first step in the cOnStruc
tion OF the Panama Canal.
These scientists-by name, Theobald
Smith. Curtice. Kilgore and Salmon
OF course had no idea of the far-reach
ing consequences of their discovery.
They were intent on finding the cause
OF a cattle disease, not in discovering
a fundamental principle in medicine
But that happens often in scientific
research
And at other times a scientist may
fail to solve one. problem. only to solve
another Unexpectedly. Not long ago
some chemists in the Department of
Agriculture were examining molds-
fungus growths, that is-to find one
that would produce tartaric acid. Pa
tiently they tested one after another.
until they had exhausted the possibili-
Ties OI lfS OlHeTenL nOlQS- flDaIy lne
l50th rewarded their long search with
Success-but not the success they were
expecting. Instead of producing tar
taric acid, the l50th mold Unexpectedly
produced guconic acid. This is now
used in making calcium gluconate. the
only calcium salt that can be injected
between the muscles. without causing
assesses, in treating certain human
diseases This salt used to cost $3.50
a pound. AS a result of this research.
it may now be had for so cents
pound.
Much of the scientific work of the
department. however. calls for more
than the ordinary equipment of scien-
tist. 1 am thinking OF the plant eS-
plorers, the men who cut their way
through treacherous jungles or press
on across the forbidding deserts Of Mon
golia in search Of plants that we need
here at home. Whenever you eat bread
