Editor. The Citizen:
Those old timers who used to
run around Key West, barefoot and
with gold rings in their ears would
probably be quite Mortified if they
could look down on their posterity
today and envision a modern Key
Wester waiting for official permis-
sion before he could get enough
water out Of pipe with which
to shave, and maybe make a cup
OF coffee. Accustomed to pure els
tern water. he might not consider
the Chlorinated stuff that comes
from north of Jewish Creek as
anything to drink unless il was
properly modified.
For, the old timer knew how to
provide food and drink for his
family from the bountiful provi.
sion offered by the earth, sea and
the heavens above.
He had found il to be a fact
that enough rain fell on the roof

IN GENERAL the livestock in
dustry has been highly successful,
but there are some respects in which
it has been a sad failure.
In the United States it has been
highly successful, as whole, be-
cause it has kept this nation well
fed. A nation to remain a first-rate
nation must be well fed. A nation
to be well fed must have a success
full livestock industry. A successful
livestock industry must have
healthy animal population. The les
sons of history have repeatedly un-
derscored these basic facts.
Animal plaques have ravaged civ
ilizations since the time of Moses
and were largely responsible for the
destruction of the proud and mighty
powers of ancient Egypt, Assyria,
Greece and Rome. During the en-
tire 18th century scourges of animal
diseases constituted a serious STUN
bling block in the development of
nations
Animal Health. National Well-Being
Animal diseases compromised ma
tional economics, upset calculations
of diplomats and checked ambitions
Of the military groups. One need
not go back in history to learn about
the terrors of unchecked animal dis
eases. In countries of modern times
repeatedly visited with pestilence
and famine win be found Ivestock
Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-08-01

BY eternal vigilance and by
proper, sound, scientifically proven
methods, and by this alone, will these
diseases of the past be prevented
from becoming entrenched in our
herds, thereby seriously jeopardizing
the success of the livestock industry
in feeding this future nation.
Cost Of Indifference
A number of diseases that are now
stalking and reducing this nations
food supply can be controlled and
eradicated. Veterinary research, vet
Urinary science and veterinary edu-
cation have proven the way. The
proper use of the discoveries of re-
search, putting into practice proven
methods available and sound man
agement will handle number of our
present diseases.
There are, too, those diseases that
have defied anyone to find the truth
about them, so they remain unsolved
riddles as far as doing anything
about them. There are those diseases
that have not been explored and have
been neglected. New diseases make
Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-08-01

challenge and critical test is to the
ability of the livestock industry to
keep this nation, with its tremendous
population increases, well fed.
There are no vast new frontiers
to move to as there were in yester-
year. Production has to be increased
on what we have and where we are.
How will this be done? There are
a number of ways being put into
practice.
One way, that at times seems to
be neglected, is to cut the death
losses of unborn, newborn, growing,
and adult animals. Some individuals
would give the impression that all
serious livestock diseases have been
controlled. In the past some diseases
have been controlled. 1t is poor prac-
tice to rest upon the laurels of the
past when we are today faced with
ever increasing new problems of dis
eases in livestock.
Staggering Losses
If accurate statistics were avail
able of the death losses Of animals
in the United States for one year
they would stagger the Imagination.
If accurate figures were available
of the weight loss and production
loss of animals due to disease for
one year in the United States it, too,
would stagger the imagination. If
just half Of these death and de-
pleting losses could be reduced it
would make it possible for the live
stock industry to keep this nation
well fed for some time.
A few diseases have been eradi-
Gated from our herds in this country,
but no disease has been eradicated
from this earth. A few thoughtless
individuals may discount the belief
that the murderous animal plaques
of years gone by have any signifi
canoe today. How wrong they are
as witnessed recently in Canada anC
Mexico.

population ridden with almost every
form of animal disease.
Untold millions of people have
starved to death following change
of a government that permitted live
stock diseases to run rampant. In
every instance where livestock dis
ease has taken the upper hand live
stock production has become colos-
sal failure.
Close to home we can recall many
instances of failures in livestock pro-
duction ventures due to heart break
ing, wealth-depleting animal dis
eases. How about the poultryman
who invested his money in chicks
that all died with pullorum disease?
A failure! How about the man who
put his savings in hogs that died with
hog cholera? A failurel How about
the beef man who borrowed money
on his spring calf crop and lost so
percent of them to brucellosis? A
failurel How about the man who
improperly feeds and cares for his
stock, permitting deficiency diseases
to take their toll? A failure.
Challenge to Industry
Today for the first time in the his
tory of our nation the livestock in
dustry is faced with terrific chal-
lenge. This critical test, fast ap-
preaching, will determine whether
or not the livestock industry, as q
whole, is a success or a failure. This

II OOKING for a new picnic spot
IL this summer?
A campers delight, sheltered by
towering trees, marked by winding foot
trails and interlaced with springfield
streams, is only 40-minute drive from
Washington.
This scenic haven is Cedarville State
Forest in Prince Georges and Charles
Counties. Md. About 26-mile ride
from Union Station, it Is miles south
of T. b. just off route S. A sign points
the way to the forest entrance.
At present, there are IL picnic areas.
Each has fireplace, table, benches,
drinking water bubbling from spring
and comfort station. A large, grassy
plot can be used for a softball field
A three-acre site is being cleared for
those who want to pitch a tent and
stay a week or so. The regular picnic
accommodations will be available.
The property was acquired in 1890.
The Civilian Conservation Corps built
the roads and trails. But only recently
has the tract been equipped adequately
for recreational purposes
Percy w. Miller, forest Superintend-
ent, is responsible for setting up the
recreational facilities as well as timber
and wildlife management programs.

Thirty miles of gravel roads and 10
miles of foot trails weave through the
forest. Wooden signs clearly mark the
roads, trails and picnic areas. Visitors
are given maps of the forest when they
enter.
The 5-Square-mile tract Is alive with
animals and birds. Robins fit through
the trees as early as January. Quail,
squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, 'possums,
foxes and an occasional deer are seen
crossing the paths. Their habitat has
been improved with installation of food

which also serve as a shelter

Brotherhood week has passed,
but it left us with pleasant men,
cries and great hope for the fu-
ture. During the week we jour
neyed to the University of Miami
where we heard excellent panels,
speakers, and choruSeS. One of
the understanding events was the
play, -Four Chaplains" by pupils
from Bethune Elementary school,
which was greatly enjoyed by all
present. The student club at the
University was the scene of an
informal banquet which climaxed
the day.
The boys and girls celebrated
Brotherhood Week by singing
songs of friendship and learning
how to get along with others by
seeing movies and playing games
of various countries.
Friday, February %, the boys
and girls saw a film at the Har-
lem t h t e. This film was
shown by the Audubon Society
and each child reported seeing a
wonderful and important picture.
AS result of the deep interest
of Mrs. EStella M. Williams, our
principal, Audubon Clubs are
springing up on our campus. We
hope that the boys and girls find
pleasure in being members of
such fine organization.
The PTA is sponsoring an An
