nutrition in the region and.
call for an early application of
practical measures for nutri-
tional improvement. In order
to facilitate the formulation
of such measures on a practi-
cal basis, the Seminar thought
that it would he very useful to
prepare a model Comprehen-
sive Nutrition Program suit
ed to the needs of commune
ty of 10000 to 100, 900 popula-
tition. Of course, any model
plan would have to be adapted
to the conditions applicable
in each community by the To-
cal authorities concerned.
Several suggestions and re-
concentrations, were made
by the Seminar, and in giving
serious consideration to the
need for follwing up actively
these suggestions and recon-
mendations, so as to facilitate
their experimentation, the Sc
minar recommended that a
Standing Advisory Committee
on Food and Nutritin shuld
be established.

Prince Edwards Bangs Disease
Testing Timely, U. S. Survey Shows

to the farmer is that brucellosis
can look like several other dis
eases which cause aborticns in
cattle or swine. It also resembles
several diseases which cause III
fertility, and which cause swollen
joints in swine. So, if any Of these
problems arise in a herd, the
first step should be a diagnosis
by veterinarian to deter
mine exactly which disease is
causing trouble and SO the right
protective NJ ca sures can be
taken.
For f rmers interested in
cleaning up brucellosis. the best
thing is to get behind an area
control program. Under this
plan, farmers in an area unite
to clean up TIE disease. Veterin-
arians make periodic tests Of
cattle. and those cattle which re
act are weeded out until the
herds are clean. his plan,
coupled with calfhood VAGINA
ton, is giving excellent results.
It is a good idea TO have a
followup program, too. This
means rechecking the cattle peri
odically. 1t also means blood
testing replacement cattle. and
blood-testing swine.

Growers were warned today by
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture against using rubber bands
in printing and tieing Burley to-
bacco.
The warning came from Steph-
en- E. Wrather. Director of the
Tobacco Division in the USDA's
Agricultural Marketing Service.
He explained that growers use
the rubber bands with primed.
rather than stalk cut Burley.
Printing" is removal of the
lower leaves on plant as they
ripen. The bands are used to
hold the leaves together on
sticks for curing. But they should
be removed when the tobacco is
leaf-tied in preparation for mar
keting.
Buyers of Burley tobacco have
complained increasingly of farm
erS' failure to remove the rubber
bands. Manufacturers must use
meticulous screening and picking
processes to detect and elimi-
nate these bands and this is
an expensive process. AS use of
rubber bands has increased.
manufacturers have found it vir-
tually impossible to eliminate all
the bands during their leaf-pro-
cessing operations.
Wrather cited three reasons
why growers should remove the
bands:
l. Tobacco containing rubber
bands, if detected in the inspec-
ton process, will not be eligible
for price support loans. Rubber
bands are considered foreign
matter" under the Official STAN
dard Grades for Burley Tobacco,
and any tobacco containing for
eign matter is designated as No
Grade. Tobacco placed in the No
Grade Noe category is not eli
gible for loan.

bacco found to contain rubber

look at this costly disease from
the national viewpoint.
The testing program here is
part of a Virginia wide effort to
rid the state of the disease, and
its consequent loss in farm ami

position in the battle. Here is
that report:
Losses in Millions
The disease is now costing the

even more startling, only two
states were added to the list
