Brucellosis Fight
In Texas Gets
The Green Light
Texas dairymen have the
“green light” for putting into
operation Plan B for the eradi-
cation of brucellosis. The sign-
ing by Governor Shivers of re-
cently passed legislation, says
Dr. C. M. Patterson, extension
veterinarian, removes all ob-
stacles to a dairyman using
Plan B.
Patterson suggests a five-step
program for carrying out the
objective — all grade A dairy
herds in the state participating
in a brucellosis eradication pro-
gram by September 1. 1958 —
as required by the Texas milk
specifications and requirements.
First, he says, protect the
herd’s water supply from con-
tamination by body discharges
from the animals. Stock ponds,
marshes and stagnant streams
should be fenced. Contaminated
water next to direct contact
with carrier animals, is a most
frequent source of new infec-
tion, points out the veterinar-
ian.
Secondly, protect feed from
body discharges of animals.
Feed hay from racks and other
feeds from troughs.
Thirdly, isolate in a “hospi-
tal” pen all animals showing
indications of illness or im-
pending abortion. Keep them
away from the herd until they
are normal. Add only animals
to the herd which have a nega-
tive blood test and isolate them
for 30 days and then retest be-
fore turning them with the
herd.
Fourthly, says Patterson, put
heavy springing cows in a ma-
ternity pen 10 days prior to
calving and keep them there
until all discharges have ceased.

calves should be immediately
buried.
And last, he says, contact the
local veterinarian who will do !
the testing and vaccinating. He
has the Plan B agreement forms {
which must be sent to the Live- j
stock Sanitary Commission. Pat-
terson believes much good can
come from dairymen, veteri-
narians and county agents
working together on the pro-
gram and that many other
problems can be solved by this
joint effort; thus reducing the
expense of the eradication pro-
gram.

Man Catches Fish
On Street Corner
A man catching fish on a
busy street corner in Grand
Saline last Friday morning was
attracting much attention.
Small bream and bass, by the
hundreds, were caught from an
aeriated tank-truck with a
small tip net and put into milk
cans or other similar contain-
ers. Then hurried to their new
homes in lakes and ponds in
the surrounding country.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service with hatcheries at Fort
Worth was making their third
delivery of fingerlings, this
spring, to farmers and ranch-
ers in the Neches-Sabine and
Wood Soil Conservation Dis-
tricts.
* Growing fish for the family
table has become a popular
soil, water, and plant conserva-
tion practice, according to wild-
life specialist of the Soil Con-
servation Service at Mineola.
The specialist say you can
grow from 200 to 300 pounds of
edible fish in a pond of one
acre every year by good man-
agement.
Fish pond management is
proper stocking, fertilization
and plenty of fishing. This is
one of the many conservation
practices the SCS assists farm-
ers and ranchers to plan and
apDly on their land.
Ponds and lakes are primarily
designed for stock water and
irrigation but the by-products
derived from wildlife manage-
ment is an economical factor
that is considered in planning
every acre of land according to
it’s capabilities and treating it
according to it’s needs, the
specialist said.
Darlene Osburn, 16 year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. O-
Osburn of Mineola and a mem-
ber of the Co-Wide club again
for the second year walked off
with top honors in the County
4-H Dress Revue. Saturday,
June 18. Darlene will represent
Wood County in the District
Revue, August 2.
Della Stevens, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. A. E. Stevens of the
Lone Grove community, was
second place winner. Della is
15 years old and a member of
the Co-Wide club.
* Karen Murdock of Golden
was the first place winner in
the junior division. Karen is
the daughter of Mrs. Jane Mur-
dock and is 1! years old.
The theme of the revue was
a wishing well. Linda Wright of
Quitman assisted Patricia Rec-
tor, home demonstration agent,
in the narration. Sandra Colley
was the pianist.
Mrs. Clarence Pollard rep-
resented the County Home
Demonstration Council and pre-
i sented prizes to all entries. The
J. A. McDade Store in Quitman,
Fairs’ Department Store in Min-
eola, the Barney Dodgen in
Winnsboro. and the Durwood
Dodgen Store also in Winnsboro
presented prizes of dress lengths
to the top four winners.
Other participants in the re-
vue were Fannie Pearl Russom
of Lone Grove, Jayne Caldwell
of Golden, Linda Vickery of
Quitman and Nadine Hudgins
of Golden.

Taxes Continue
Upward Trend
Real estate taxes on farms
and ranches in Texas were 3.2
percent higher in 1954 than in
1*153 — the eighth straight year
of increase.
The average tax per acre for
the state in 1954 was 28.8 cents
compared with 27.9 cents the
previous year, according to L.
P. Gabbard, agricultural econo-
mist at Texas A. & M. College,
j While this slight increase was
taking place in taxes agricul-
tural prices in Texas declined.
The price index of agricultural
commodities in the state drop-
ped from 273 in 1953 to 265 in
1954. The change in the tax-
price ratio was from 1.14 in ’53
to 1.21 in ’54 — a relative in-
j crease in tax burden of slightly
I more than six percent.
“In other words, it took six
percent more farm commodities
to pay taxes last year than it
did the previous year.” Gab-
bard said. The tax burden has
increased 57 percent during the
four year period 1951-1954.
Gabbard cited a high degree
of variation in real estate taxes
among type-of-farming areas
and from one year to another
in the same area. In 1954 the
average tax per acre in the
irrigated Upper Rio Grande
Valley was $4.55 while in the
1 High Plains and Trans-Pecos
areas adjoining, it was six cents
an acre.
■ The economists found that
taxes declined 10 percent in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley
