COOPERATIVE PROGRAM TO /
WIPE OUT BANGS DISEASE
MAKES STRIDES IN TWO YEARS

I fieurds on the effects of Bangs
disease ON fproduction, with the
following conclusions:
1. Bangs disease reduces milk
production 22.5 per cent, b..
2. Bangs diseases reduces calf
crop 40 per cent. ..;
8. Bangs disease decreases
calving efficiency by 40 per cent.
A. Bang's-free herds calve every
lis months.
5. Bang's-infected herds calve
every 20 months.
6. Bangs disease increases mas
tits and joint trouble.
7. One out of every five cows
aborting will become sterile.
8. Bangs disease increased (by
bredeing trouble, sterility, and
mastitis) the needed requirements
by 80 per cent.
Too many owners assume that
the testing and removing Of reac-
tors will ,lediminate the disease
without the owners doing their
part to control infection by using
proper herd management and SAN
itation. While it is true that many
herds have been cleaned up by
simply removing the reactors on
one or two tests, there are many
where infection has persisted
which could have been controlled
if the owner had been properly in
formed on the necessary sanitary
procedure to control the disease.
Recently infected cows often will
not react to the test until after
thew have calved normally or
aborted, and such cows, if not
properly controlled will be con-
tinual source of re-infection.
In herds where reactors have
been removed, all pregnant cows
should be regarded as potential
spreaders of the disease and
should be allowed to calve only in
maternity stalls.
An ideal maternity stall should
be 10 feet by II feet with sepa-
rate partitions of suitable ma
terial which can be easily cleaned
and disinfected, such as hollow
tile, cement blocks, galvanized
iron, matched lumber with tight
Joints and smooth surface, etc.
These partitions should be at least
7 feet in height. Each stall should
have a front and back door, the
front door for admission of COW
and attendant, the back door for
disposal of manure, which should
be protected from contact with
cattle and from drainage into adj
jacent pasture fields. Floors
should be of cement with CEN
trail drain leading to a cess pool
allowing open drainage to front

ROTATION OF
|. CROPS SAVES
OUTPUT Cost
80 Per Cent as Effective as
Fertilizer and Keeps
s. Down Disease .,
B- D.. W. BENNETT
Assistant County Agent

What Is a crop rotation! a
crop rotation is merely a good
system of growing crops on the
same land at a certain number OF
years apart. By rotating crops
the same crop is not grown more
than once every three or four
! wears on the same land. Some one
may ask, why rotate crops? There
are many reasons why farmer
should rotate his crops, as many
of the best farmers have found
out.
First, we might say that it i'm
proves the fertility of the soil.
This is done by allowing a place
in the rotation for soil improving
crops such as legumes and winter
cover crops. Our experiment sta
tions have found that good crop
ping system is 90 per cent as eff
fective as commercial fertilizer.
The fact that North Carolina uses
one-seventl of all the commercial
fertilizer used in the United States
81 a disgrace to the state.
Second, a good crop rotation
helps to control crop diseases
when different crps are grown
that are not susceptible to the diff
ferent diseases.
Third, by alternating crops the
plant nutrients in the soil may be
utilized to better advantage.
Some crops require a large
amount of potash while others re-
quire more phosphate or nitrogen.
For example, most of our root
crops require mre potash, while
leafy crops such as cabbage re,
quire more nitrogen; so it will
readily be seen that the different
plant nutrients may be kept bal
anced by rotating the crops.
Fourth, crop rotation increases
the amount Of organic OF vege-
table matter in the soil. This in
turn increases the waterholding
capacity of the soil. Organic mat
ter will hold 20 times its own
weight in water. Addition of or
ganic matter will increase the
number of beneficial bacteria in
the soil, because it is a food on
which the bacteria live. These
bacteria are responsible for max
ing large part of the plant food
available to crops.
Fifth, crop rotation helps to

shift separate calving stall OF
some sort; but it should be, re-
.membered that, if cows are allow
ed to calve where other cattle are
kent, especially pregnant mammals,
healthy cattle may come into con-
tact with the uterine discharges
from recently infected cows which
were negative on the previous
test, and SO become infected. "'
} For summer use, outside mater
nifty lots, on good sod and fenced,
of convenient and economical
sizes, may be used. These lots
should be- numbered and the odd.
numbers use done month and the
even numbers the following
month. By this method the use.
of double fencing is avoided and
the months rest will allow the
sun to destroy any infection that
remains in the lot from the preVl-
,ouei occupant. 81 ~.
=, Bangs disease is not difficult
to eradicate from any. herd II
tests are frequently applied and
owners follow the procedure OF
keeping all COWS separate at the
timeof calving and for the next
four or five weeks. The time and
trouble taken will richly repay the
producer who follows these pre-
cautions, and such extremely care,
full procedure may be, modified
after the herd has been negative
a year. In some such procedure
cannot be followed and the pro-
Queer is not able to separate herd
requirements from the original
herd, it is almost impossible to
eradicate the disease, and it would
be better if producer of this
type did not enter the program.
There are now over 100000 own
ers in the United States who have
their herds under state and fed
eral supervision, and there are
$4,000 cattle on the waiting list.
Therefore, it is much better to
help the owner who is willing to
help himself than to simply kill
cattle for an owner who allows
the herd to become reinfected
either through carelessness or lack
of proper information.
