“TB runs in his family.” When you
hear anyone make that statement,
speak right up and say, It isn t
true.”
Tuberculosis is not inherited. It is
a disease caused by a germ which is
passed on by people who have the di
sease to those about them.
You may have known of families
where TB seemed to be inherited,
passed down through the generations
like the family silver. Grandfather
hah it, and his sons, and his son’ sons.
But it was not because of anything in
the family blood.
Tuberculosis seems to run in fami
lies because, naturally, family mem
bers come in closest contact with a
TB patient. If anyone is going to
catch the germs he coughs up, they
are the most likely victims.
This is why it is so important to
find all cases of tuberculosis early,
so they can be placed under treat
ment for their own sakes, as well as
to prevent spread of the disease. An
annual physical checkup and chest X
ray will help make certain that TB
is found before it has done too much
damage. • >
When TB is discovered, the tubercu
losis hospital is the best place for the
patient. There he can receive all the
benefits of the most modem methods
of treatment. There he can be cured
with the certainty that he is not
spreading his disease to those he
loves.

Question: Is older hay any better
than new hay?
Answer: Age can result in a low
ering of the quality of hay unless it
is carefully stored, and even then
there is apt to be some lost of caro
tene content. No exact value of the
loss has been determined, but if you
have a choice of new and old hay of
the same quality, take the newer hay.
However, there is no reason why, if
the hay is stored properly, it should
not be satisfactory for feeding live
stock. The main thing, of course,
that you want to look for in hay qual
, ity is the green coloring and the pres
ence of leaves. If it still has the
. | green color and the leaves are still
! there, for all practical purposes, the
hay will be very satisfactory regard
. less of whether it is one, two or three
. years old.
Question: What is Angular Leaf
| spot and how can it be controlled? •
Answer: This disease, important
, only as it effects yield of cucumbers,
. is caused by a seed-borne bacterium
. (Peseudomonus lachrymans). It caus
es small, angular straw-colored to
\ light brown spots on the leaves and
. also rot of the cucumber fruit. The
. affected leaf tissues often dry and
l fall out leaving holes in the leaf. The
’ disease is most severe early in the
[ : season when the weather is relatively
. I cool. The bacteria causing this di
-1 sease are spread from plant to olant
by cultivation equipment, by harvest
ers and by splashing or wind-blown
rain. Recommendations for control in
clude use of treated seed and crop ro
tation.
Question: How should the ridge
ventilator on my tobacco bam be set
during the coloring and drying pro
cess ?

; color setting and leaf drying period,
it is suggested that the ridge venti
lator be open. Close completely, or

being to close gradually as soon as the
condition of the tobacco permits (us
usually not later than when the dif
ference between the dry and wet bulb
is 20 to 30 points).
* Question: Why is it that today’s
pork market calls for a “medium”
type hog?
Answer: The intermediate or med
ium type hog is now recognized as
being the most profitable for all pur
poses. This type will make fast gains
and yield good carcasse. The “rangy”
type may not fatten enough to pro
duce good carcasses until they are too
heavy. And the “chubby” type may
become too fat at too light a weight
to make economical gains or desirable
carcasses. Simply, the medium, meat
type hog produces more lean meat
quicker. And lean meat is what the
housewife buys.
Question: Just how much cultiva
tion does aromatic, or Turkish tobac
co require?
Answer: During most seasons very
little culivation is required. The first
cultivation usually comes 10 to 15
days after transplanting. During this
cultivation the top of the ridges are
raked away from the rows of plants.
Following this, one furrow is made,
with a small subsoil plow in the mid
dle of the row. The second cultiva- 1
