AUSTIN—-“In spite of the
knowledge of its cause ' and
slfctd, and bf curative methods,
turorculosls Is still a very
serious problem not - only In
Texas, but throughout the Unit-
ed States," stlites Dr. Geo.. W.
Cox, State Health Officer.
“It Is true that tuberculosis
no longer is first on the list
of killing diseases, as it was for-
merly," Dr. Cox said, “but
despite having been reduced to
eighth place in Texas, it still
is responsnvttfv'for more deaths
between the ages of fifteen and
forty-five than any other di-
sease. And this fact exists even
through ‘the majority of tuber-
culosis patients could have their
conditions
recognized early and proper
treatment applied.
“Treatment of the early recog-
nized case is essential. It is of
equal importance, from a public
health viewpoint, that the
spread of j this devastating in-
fection' W prevented. A more
intelligent appreciation of this
fact would result in the saving
of thousands of lives.
"When a diagnosis of active
tuberculosis has been made, ex-
amination of all of the other
members of the immediate fami-
ly should follow as a matter of
course. Tuberculosis runs in
families, not because of any
especial susceptibility to the
disease, but because it is cop>
municable, being usually trans-
mitted through close and pro-
longed contact with the active
case.”
To reduce the number of
deaths caused by tuberculosis,
Dr. . Cox suggests periodic ex-
amination of all adults, a check-
up by physicians of the known
active cases and contacts, regu-
lar examinations of high school
children, isolation or hospitali-
zation of the active tuberculosis
case, and a more intelligent ap-
plication of hygienic living
principles.

Farmers Construct
5,195 Feet Of
Diversion Terrace
Farmers cooperating with the
Freestone-Leon Soil Conserva-
tion District have constructed
four diversion terraces this year
totaling 5,195 feet.
By constructing these terraces,
approximately 100 acres of crop-
land will be protected from the
runoff water above the terraces.
The diversion terraces were
constructed on the following
farms: T. H. Killough, Butler
conservation group; Joel Terry,
Mt. Zion; J. F. Hoeinghaus, Ward
Prairie; and Alderman Brothers,
Cotton Gin.
Technicians of the Soil Con-
servation Service aided in the

chines rank as one of the top
causes of mastitis in the dairy
herd. Milking machines should
be used in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendation.
