RANGE SEEDING;
A. N. Wiebe, Herman
Wiebe, Henry Pshigoda,
Earl Waide, Mrs. Grady
Pearson and W. A. Elledge
are making plans to seed
some marginal land to grass
this spring.
These cooperators of the
Ochiltree Soil Conservation
District started making their
plans last spring and sum-
mer by drilling a crop of
sorghum or Sudan to grow
and to be made into a dead
litter cover. This provides
protection of the small grass
lant from wind, hot sun and
AUSTIN- - Big numbers
usually make news, but this
past year a zero made the
headlines.
The “zero” is in the col-
umn of vital statistics telling
how many people died from
poliomyelitis during 1963.
In about a ten-year period,
the death column droDned
from a 253 total to a zero.
Behind these columns
lies a story that statistics
alone cannot tell. The story,
in short order, reflects the
other elements which des-
troy these delicate seedlings..
Prom now to the first of
June is time to seed native
grasses. Most cooperators
find March and April good
months to plant.
The species of grass to
plant will depend upon the
soil, season of use and other
factors. Your Soil Conserva-
tion Service Technician will
assist you in selecting the
species and any other
questions you have.

development of polio vaccine
during the last ten years.
But let’s start at the
jeginning of the story.
Poliomyelitis, also known
as infantile paralysis, is
caused by a poliovirus.
Single cases or epidemics
occur throughout the world.
The disease may strike at
any time, but the largest
number of cases occur in the
summer and early winter
months. Children and young
adults are the most frequent
victims.
Program will furnish cost
sharing if desired.
DIVERSIONS:
L.H. Littau has started
constructing a diversion
terrace on his place South-
east of Perryton.
This diversion will cut
outside water from a culti-
vated field of Littau’s and
carry the water to a safe
outlet.
Littau is a past supervi-
sor of the Ochiltree Soil
Conservation District.
LAND LEVELING:
W. H. Fluitt of Booker has
started leveling some land
for irrigation. This leveling
will help Fluitt get better
distribution of irrigation
water.
Dean Slaughter is in the
process of leveling some
land for irrigation.
IRRIGATION PIPELINES:
G.A. and David Burger
and John Cole have recently
completed installing pipe-
line for irrigation. Irrigation
pipelines saves water and
cuts down on soil erosion.
GREAT PLAINS CONTRACTS
W.A. Elledge and Carroll
Ladd have recently signed
Great Plains Contracts to do
their conservation work.
W. H. Fluitt has signed
an application for a Great
Plains Contract.
The Great Plains Conser-
vation Program offers tech-
nical help as well as cost
sharing to get your conser-
vation program carried out.

in preparing your contract.
********
if the nation’s agricultural
output of 1962 had been pro-
duced by 1939 methods, it
would have cost about $17
billion more in land, labor,
capital and other resources than
the actual ’62 cost- This annual
dividend is more than twice the
cost of all agricultural re-
search done by federal, state
and private industry since the
nation was founded.
The disease is spread
from man to man. Poliomye-
litis virus has been found in
secretions of the nose and
throat and in the feces of
patients. For this reason,
polio patients are isolated
and intense precautions are
exercised, especially during
the early days of illness.
Anyone can have polio-
melitis - - a crippling and
killing disease - - but no
one can be cured.
The key to avoiding the
dread disabling disease is
prevention. Two vaccines - -
discovered, developed and
tested in the last ten years -
'’•an prevent the disease.
The first hope of a vac-
cine came in 1953. A scien-
tist at the University of
Pittsburgh had devebped a
vaccine, composed of killed
polio viruses. But the
vaccine had to be tried and
tested before mass immuni-
zation could take place.
Then, in 1955, the public
was able to receive protec-
tion with Salk vaccine
injections.
Now an oral vaccine
developed by Dr. Albert
Sabin of Cincinnati is also
available. It is made of
weakened live viruses and
can be administered as a
liquid, mixed with sweet
tasting substances such as
simple syru.p. or lump sugar.
The advent of puliomeli-
tis vaccines brought polio
incidence down to eight
cases and deaths to zero.
This is the story about
the zero that made big news.
And zero will continue to
be headlined so long as
each person takes advantage
of the protection available.
