Pastures
According to information fiom
research good pastures are by far
the cheapest source of feed for
livestock. The next cheapest
source is-home grown feed sucn as
hay. corn, cotton seed and etc.
Every farmer should put forth
a special effort to have enough
feed on hand to carry his cows
through the winter in good con-
dititons.
Gardening
Prune and stake early tomatoes.
When plants are IL to IA inches
tall begin pruning. Select one or
two healthy shoots in axil of
leaves that is between the leaf
and plant stem. The first shoot
should be about 8 to 10 inches
above the ground and the second
3 to a inches higher than the
first. Keep all other shoots pinch
ed off.
These shoots will give you a
tomato plant with two or three
stems. Three stems are enough.
When first bloom appears on
the plants, give each plant a
tablespoonful of nitrate of soda.
or equivalent. Work the nitrate
well into the soil about inches
from the plant.
When tomatoes plants are 10
to IL inches, stake them. Use
stakes S feet tall and / inch in
diameter or ! inch square. Place
the stake in center of row and 4
or inches from plant. Drive
typing plant about inches from
it 8 to 10 inches deep. Begin
the ground. Make second and
third ties eight or 10 inches
above the preceding tie.

What We Can Learn About
Livestock Disease Control

lob easier, it is not the whole story.
The same conditions exist in parts
of central Europe where disease runs
rampant through the herds and
flocl<s. And these north countries
have the disadvantage that there is
constant source of infection in
nearby countries, some of which join
their borders. Frequently in the
north woods and in the mountains
the young stock run on common
grazing grounds in the summer so
that the cattle from many farms are
mingled together.
Prompt Action
think there is an important rea-
son why Scandinavia has blazed the
trail far ahead of us in disease con-
troll. When a new disease like vesi-
cular exanthema in hogs comes
along, the Scandinavian countries
Immediately jump on it. ''Let's get
rid of it." is their battle cry. We in
America are more apt to sit back
and say, "Oh we'll, they'll find cure
or a new vaccine for it." And it is
true that our scientists have led the
world in the development of vac
cines and effective indications.
But the tragedy is that cure is
only good after the animal has taken
the disease And as we should have
learned in recent experience with
hog cholera vaccines, even the best
of them is seldom, if ever, 100 per-
cent sure. The disease continues to
be a constant threat and constant
cost year after year. The Scandina-
vians are more apt to look on these
things as extra tools to exterminate
the cause. We are more apt to look
on them as a means of living with
the disease.
In Scandinavia at times the job OF
control is done with surprisingly
few personnel. There are only SOC
veterinarians in all of Finland, only
81 district vets directly responsible
for disease control work.
Disease control laws differ in each

Continued from page 3

Today, we Americans have been
very greatly concerned with the pos
sibility of -and-mouth outbreaks.
We are all aware of the effective
campaign waged against the disease
in Mexico and more recently, during
the outbreak in Canada. On previous
occasions we, too, have eliminated
the disease from our own country.
Southern and central Europe are
hotbeds of infection. With infection
running high in bordering countries,
if is not easy for the north cour-
tries of Europe to control foot-and-
mouth disease. About every three
years the disease builds up in inten-
sity in Europe. And it is then that
outbreaks are apt to occur in Scan
| dinavia.
The last outbreak in Finland oc-
Cured in 1941. 1t was wiped out by
sIaughtering infected herds and stop
ping the movement of livestock IN
a zone around the infection, meth
cd similar &c that used in America
in the past and more recently in Can
ada. BY similar methods, Norway
got rid of its last outbreak a little
over a year ago.
When the disease starts building
UP in Germany, Sweden vaccinates
the cattle il its southern province
of Shame. When single outbreaks
occur. the infected herds are de-
stroyed and an almost military con-
troll of livestock movement is slapped
/ on in the area. If the disease becomes
widespread, they use a combination
of vaccination and slaughter of in
fected animals, similar to the pro-
gram used in Mexico.
Denmark with a common border
with Germany and many of its is
lands only a few miles from the con-
tinent, stands in constant danger of
the disease by reinfestation. She tries
to keep the disease down by con-
trolled vaccination. While VAGINA
ton has lessened the severity of the
disease, it cannot be said that Den
mark has eradicated foot-and-mouth
disease.
Some Advantages
Why have these countries been
more successful than we in keeping
| infectious diseases down? 1t is true
| that they have some advantage over
| us. Much of their livestock is KEEP
| in small herds and flocks. Few farm:
| have the large number of cows, hog:
| and poultry that you find on many
| American farms. Frequently, bu
| not always, the farms may be scat
| tered and farther apart. This is par
| ticularly true in some parts of Nor
way ard Finland But on the othe
| hand, in Denmark and even parts o
| Sweden and Norway, you will fine
| just as great a concentration of live
stock as we have in areas like Wis
| consin or New York.
These countries have the advan
tage that they do not have the grea
movement OF livestock that we hav
in America. Few animals go fror
one farm to another. And when the
do, it is generally only to anothe
farm short distance away. Thes
| countries do not have anything thu
corresponds TO our salesbarns or larg
terminal markets like Chicago, S
Paul, Omaha, and Denver. Nor &
they move livestock over long di
tances from one area to another
we do with feeder cattle, sheep, dai1
cattle and feeder pigs. Even IL

Egypt's social welfare structure is so
designed that consideration of an individual
and not as an "item," is going hand in hand
with the planning of the wholly material
side: the development of the material re-
sources and assets of the country is de-
signed to raise the living standard and mo-
poverty and disease, and to bring to frui-
ton national health, economic prosperity
and nationwide contentment.
The present-day aim of Egyptian auth
critics is: equal educational opportunities
for every child throughout the land, ire
spective of class origin or means. Grammer
school education is compulsory and free for
both sexes. Secondary education is also free
, for all. Higher education is also given full
attention, particularly in respect of techni-
cal education Egypt has 70 technical attend
ed by 10000 students of both sexes all of
whom are provided free tuition The most
ancient university in the Middle East--may-
be in the world is al-Azhar which has
slightly over ten thousand students from
the Moslem world al-Azhar which has been
, established over thousand years. During
| this period it has been somewhat of a Holy
See of Islamic theology, ritual legislation
and life generally, devoted almost entirely
to study of the Koran and the language of
! the Koran Yet, according to our information
al-Azhar has managed to keep fairly we'll in
step with the times. Today it has extra
rural classes in number of modern sub
Jects. In addition to it's famed al-Azhar,
Egypthas two outstanding modern univer-
sites Fouad / in Cairo, and Farouk I in
Alexandria. The country's youngest uni
versity, the Peoples University" was es-
tablished in 1916 at Cairo. 1t has a care

fully planned organization of classes and
lectures for the diffusion of culture, prac-
tical, theoretical and general knowledge for
the encouragement and development of ex-
listing talent, the satisfaction Of personal in
tellectual tastes and tendencies, and the
general raising of social contacts and ameni-
ties. Its fourteen main courses include: no.
litical literary, hygiene, sociological, arts
tic, scientific, commercial, decorative crafts
mechanical crafts, house-wifery, child-man-
agement, cooperative system, journalism,
agriculture. The university's sphere of in
fluence does not merely embrace Cairo, but
extends to the provinces from which MANY
of its students come.
Truly Egypt has acquired merit for it's
memorials She seems to afford every COM
fort and amenity of modern life. Cairo and
pera for the more sophisticated souls. The
Alexandria counts numerous palaces, hip-
podromes, night spots--yes, even Grand Or
Royal Opera House in Cairo puts on crack
performances of opera and dramatic COM
panies from Paris, London, Rome and other
European cities.
The bulk OF Egypt's population consists
OF Egyptians, Arabs and Negroes, with the
latter two races predominating in the Nile
Valley, and Upper Nile. The religion most
recognized is Islam and Christianity
Egypt's economic Importance is due
mainly to its unique location, geographi.
cally Its position at the crossroads of the
great trade route connecting Europe and the
interior of Africa and the Near East; its
fertility, due to the excellent texture of its
soil and the eveness of its sub-tropical eli.
mate, and especially to it's regular and
plentiful supply of irrigation waters, makes
her the most fascinating country on the AT.

production to a great degree. Besides being
producer of the worlds finest cotton in
it's rich Nile Valley, Egypt produces an

According to information we have re-
ceived directly from the Ministry of Com
merce and Industry, Cairo, Egypt, that coun
try enjoys today truly democratic govern
ment by the people, for the benefit of the
people, standing for principles of individual
liberty.
Present day Egyptians are democratic
by nature. The followers of Islam and the
Christians as well, know no class distinc-
ton; in both creeds, men are considered
superior only according to the good they
contribute to humanity.
The economic life of the country is in
full swing. With the recent discovery of
iron ore and new oil in the sub-soil Egypt
has acquired a special Importance in the
world of industry.
Egypt also has self-sufficient econo-
my combining agricultural, industrial and
mineral resources, all of them to be great
ly developed.
AS member of the United Nations
Organization, Egypt has constantly champ
Toned the cause of independence and sover-
eighty for all nations, faithfully convinced
that peace and security in the world are
dependent on a mutual respect of interna-
tional agreements.
According to tradition and research re-
corded history of Egypt began about 1900
B. c., with Menes, the first king of the
first dynasty of United Egypt. The di-
visions of Egyptian history into ancient,
Medieval and Modern run in parallel lines
to the same division of any history with the
exception of an unreasonable difference
in regard to the Ancient. This alone is
more than 1000 years long; or, in fact,
twice that of the Medieval and Modern
Ages put together.
Ancient Egypt was governed by the
Menes Dynasty from 32O0-210O BIC. Dur
ing this time the three great pyramids were
built at Gizeh and also the step-pyramid
in Saqqara.
Egypt's Middle Kingdom existed from
2100-1555 B. c., during which time the
country was reunited under the strong
kingship of Mentuhotep, whose dynasty was
Egypt's Eleventh.
In the Twelfth Dynasty--200O-179 BIC.
period of prosperity and power, great
building, and literary activity was enjoyed.
The 18th Dynasty (179O-17OO B. C. }
was that of stagnation, tending to separa-
ton at end and paving the way for con-
quest.
From 1700-1555 B. c., Egypt was ruled
by foreign so-called shepherd Kings" from
Asia. 1t was during this period that the
Hygsos Conquest occurred However, foreign
domination was finally overthrow in Egypt
by the powerful Pharaoh, Ahmes, 1880
1855 B. CO. who in following the ousted
ruler up to Sinai, opened the road for en-
pire in the next era.
Egypt's New Kingdom extended from
1555-712 B. c. 1t was during this period
that the country became world empire.
