A new low rate for deaths from tuberculosis in North ICarolin was established : in 1920 according to statistics just com piled by the State Board of Health. The total number of deaths "from cause for. the past year was 2,865 as against a total of 8,005 for the pre vious year The reduction in deaths from tuberculosis was one of the im portant items in enabling the stVte to achieve a remarkably low death rate as a whole, the rate for ill diseases bavin been 12.9 per thousand. ' ? - Figures tell an eloquent story of the winning fight against tuberculo sis in North Carolina during the past few years. In 1915 this disease, popularly known as "the Great White Hague", filled , 8,710 ; graves with Tar Heels. Since. then there ' has been 'a steady decline,' so that last year there was a difference of 845. The people of the state "are demon strating that tuberculosis is a curable and a preventabl disease. A ' comparison" with the ' United States as a whole shows that ' ' this state has an enviable, record."' In 1919 tuberculosis caused a total of 111,579 deaths in " the United "States, only organic diseases of the heart be ing charged with a greater number of deaths. The rate was 131 per hun dred thousand of population. The of population, and last year this rate dropped to the .new low level of 112 per hundred thousand of population.' 'In , the nation tuberculosis ". is chargeable with slightly more than ten per cent of all the deaths that oc cur. In this state it causes approxi mately eight per cent of all deaths; In other .words, . one,, out of . every twelve deaths in -the state is from this cause.;' - m k , i '' Fatalities from f tuberculosis havn been; much greater; among the col ored people of the State than among the whitest ? During the ' past -two years a special educational ; effort against' this disease has', been ; made among the colored people by the ex tension department of the state san atorium and the State Tuberculosis Association.' :,:The 'recent : General Assembly made an appropriation' of $100,000 for a 'sanatorium for ne groes, and health authorities feel con fident that equally good results can be obtained in the reduction of deaths from this cause among the negroes as have been attained for the population as a whole. - EXECUTOR'S NOTICE Having qualified as executor of the estate of W.

Early attention in an outbreak of logfholera-is-essentialfor the suc cessful v treatment of the herd. It has been told repeatedly that anti-hog-cholera serum not a cure; its use is primarily intended as a preven tive agent against cholera, and as such it is universally recognized s the only reliable treatment. While the srum seemingly has had Some fav orable effect when administered to sick hogs in the very early stage of the disease, swine owners should not depend upon the product to save any any number of animls after they have developed visible symptons of hog cholera.

New Tort, In Farmers' Bulletin 834 (revised) attention is called to the fact that the serum is most efficacious when admin istered as a preventive. "While the serum is regarded as most efficacious whn administered as a preventive," the pulletin points out, "it seems to have some curative value, provided it is administered when hogs are in verjr early stages of the disease. But very little benefit can be expected from the treatment of hogs that are visibly sick." "Serum should be used with the understanding that it is-a preventive rather than a curative agent" It has been stated that serum alone has some value in treating sick hogs. This is true within a certain limita tion. Ordinarily it is efficacious only in the, very early stage of the disesse, before the hogs show visible signs of sickness." In a bulletin issued recently by Dr. R. C. Reed, Chief, Animal Industry, Maryland State Board of Agriculture, appears the following: "An analy sis of the data obtained from aick herds, vaccinated in Maryland during 1918, shows that over one-fifth of the swine hsd died or were too sick to treat before the herds were immu nised." Information from other bUtes where control work is being conducted points to a similar lack of prompt attention in reporting out breaks of hog cholera. CARTEET LUMBER CO.

" .7:.L -u-Cvi' 'i .ivtv ' ' Much of the criticism and unfavor-' able comment against anti-hog-cholera serum are due to the fact that farmers delay the use of the product for too Jotig a period iaftet cholera ! has reached the herd. When many of the animals show symptoms of the disease and the tmperature reveals a high fever, lit is, not reasonable to suppose, that serum will do much to-" ward limiting losses, Therefore, tie . warning ,s again given to treat'' the animals at the very first sign of chol era in the herd. 1, " Or better still, if there are reasons to suspect that the hog3 have been or are exposed to infection, they should be immunized before they have fall en victims. In sections where there are no Known outDreaics ox cnoiera there does not seem to be any need . for the use of an expensive" treatment but when the disease makes its ap pearance in the vicinity no time should be lost in having all suscepti ble hogs given the serum treatment. Reports indicate that farmers and swineowners are remiss in guarding against the introduction of infection, and are generally inclined to expect too much of anti-hog-cholera serum as a curative agent.
