Weekly Health Letter
From Austin
Austin May 6 Dr. Geo. W.
Cox State Health Officer char-
acterized typhoid fever as a Na-
tional disgrace and an unneces-
sary evil while discussing this
preventable disease. He said
"Each year about four hundred
Texans die of this disease and
approximately four thousand are
sick with it. The average dura-
tion of illness is about six weeks ;
this means that the disease is
responsible for the loss of 168-
000 days in Texas each year.
Typhoid vaccine is a harmless
solution. This is injected under
the skin m the upper part of the
arm: in three doses usually at
weekly intervals. It ordinarily
protects against the disease from
two to three years or longer
although one wlio is definitely
exposed to infection should be
"revaccinated more frequently.
Typhoid fever can be control-
led by the use of pure water
pasturized milk or clean milk
clean foods proper disposal of
sewage screening aginst the fly
and destroying its breeding
places by search for and care of
human carriers and by the gen-
eral practice of vaccination.
Certain people apparently
healthy carry the germs of ty-
phoid in their intestines or urin-
ary tract and cause many cases
of typhoid each year through
Tiandling foods with unwashed
hands. They are called typhoid
carriers and many cases result
from personal contact with these
carriers.
In. selecting a place for a va-
cation chose one where you know
that the water and .milk supply
is pure. Be sure that the kitchen
and dining room are screened
to protect them from flies.
When camping it is best to boil

CENTRAL TEXAS 1-H
CLUB BOYS SHOW
MUCH ENTHUSIASM
Central Texas 4-H Club boys
are getting into full swing with
their various demonstrations for
1937 according to county agri-
cultural agents from that sec-
tion. The committee on selection of
4-H beef calves working with
the county agricultural agent
VV. I. Ross of Falls County has
secured 18 beef calves for boys
to use in their feeding demon-
strations. Seventeen of these
calves 11 black Angus and six
Herefords were Bought irom
breeders in' Llano county and
one shorthorn was secured in
Falls county.
The calves were delivered to
the boys on Wednesday March
24 and each boy will feed his
calf for show and sale this fall.
There were only five boys who
fed 4-H club calves in Falls coun-
ty last year.
To date six 4-H boys' clubs
have been organized in Lee
county for 1937. More enthus-
iasm is evident everywhere this
year among the boys.
The boys choosing field crops
for demonstration have .been en
couraged to plant black-eyed
peas. As they are in line with
the commercial black-eyed pea
program being carried on in the
county the boys are assured of
a fair price for their product.
Several of the 'Lee county boys
have a fine start from 1936 with
registered hogs. Two club boys
from the Lincoln' club carried six
baby beef calves to the Ft.
Worth show in March no pre-
vious work ever having been
done along this line in Lee coun-
ty. Several of the boys are carry-
ing poultry sheep and turkeys.

"GRASSES AND LEGUMES
CHECK COSTLY SOIL LOS-
SES AND HELP PROVIDE
CHEAP FEED FOR LIVE-
STOCK." Texds farmers have learned
that soil losses on minor slopes
can be prevented by cover crops
or by reverting the crop land on
such slopes to pastures.
Legumes take nitrogen from
the air and make it available in
the soil for subsequent crops.
Legumes are high in protein and
minerals; when livestock ihave
access to legumes a saving in
grain knd protein supplement
necessary to balance the ration
is usually realized.
Many of the clovers have an
excellent physical effect on the
soil in that their roots penetrate
to unusual depths and loosen up
the subsoil. One of the direct
benefits of this action is that the
soil can absorb and store more
moisture.
The farmers of Texas are us-
ing more legumes. The 1930 cen-
sus figures show that 394555
acres were devoted to legumes
in 1929; while the 1935 census
figures list 773783 acres of le
gumes in 1934. The past year
saw Texas fanners incompliance
with the Agricultural Conserva-
tion Program plant 1776868
acres to legumes.
Pastures which contain a com-
bination of legumes and grasses
provide a longer period of graz
ing and a more balanced ration'
for livestock; tend to check ero-
sions and soil losses; and buil.d
up the soil by adding humus and
nitrogen.
The Agricultural Conservation
Program contains provisions for
carrying part of the financial
burden of conservation practices
and offers aid to farmers in the
task of improving and maintain-
ing soil fertility.
SIGN-UP IN AGRICULTURAL
CONSERVATION PROGRAM
VIRTUALLY COMPLETE
Colleire Station The final
date for acceptance of work
sheets under the Agricultural
Conservation program has been
set for May 15 by. the Texas Ag
ricultural uonservation juommn-
tee according to Geo. Slaughter
chairman. The committee has apN-
proved an earlier closing date for
many counties where the sign-up
is well advanced.
Indications are that approxi
mately 240000 work sheets will
be signed for the 1937 program.
Of these some' 15000 cover
ranches with a combined acreage
of 53000000 acres which will
takd part in the range conserva-
tion feature of the program.
The sign up this year pro-
gressing rapidly and is three
imonths ahead of the 1936 parti-
cipation in the program. Slaugh-
ter pfainj;ed out that due to the
advaifced; stage- of; the sign-upj
it would not be possible for the
state committee to accept any

fied pecan and peach seed which
will be set out in her orchard
next year.
"Peach and plum trees have
shallow root systems" said
Jeanne Mae Doss of the Rock-
dale 4-H club in Milam County.
For this reason Jeanne Mae re-
commended to the club members
that their orchai'ds be cultivated
with disc spring tooth or spike
harrows to prevent cutting the
feeder roots.
Vegetables have not been for-
gotten'. Mrs. Ray Hickey presi-
dent of the East Breckenridge
home demonstration club has
installed 30 feet of sub-irrigation
tile in her small house garden.
She grows a row of tomatoes on
each side of the tile and small
vegetables such as radishes
dwarf English peas bush beans
and lettuce on. top of the tile.
