Farmers Combine
To Buy Equipment
More than 1,000 North Carolina

community aervices of the Farm Se
curity administration to make loans
from $25 to $2,000 to purchase farm
equipment ranging from corn plant
ers to harvester-thresher combines
and tractors, according to Robert S
Curtis, State Supervisor, Commun
ity Service*.
"Under this plan farmers organ
ize into groups of from three to 50
or more participants and appoint a
master borrower," Mr Curtis said.
"The Farm Security administration
then makes the loan to the farmer
selected, who must be a man of out
standing character and good reputa
tion in his community."
Small farmers are combining their
efforts to purchase farm machinery

12 Rabies Victims
Suffer Great Agony
I Chicago ? The last agony of 12
persons who died with rabies in
Cook County Hospital, Chicago, is
described in terrifying words and
pictures in the forthcoming issue of
of the Journal of the American Med
ical Association in an effort to stamp
Out this dreadful malady.
All 12 might have been saved their
violent convulsions and unescapable
deaths if adequate prophylactic
measures had been instituted im
mediately. All were infected by dog
bites.
Stray dogs have no place in a civ
ilized order, says Drs. Maurice L.
Blatt, Samuel J. Hoffman and Mau
rice Schneider, who report the death
struggles of persons with the disease
from which none recovers.
Stringent enforcement of regula
tions governing ownership, licensure
muzzling and leashing of dogs would
have prevented the bites they as
sert.
The extent of the problem is evi
denced by the fact that in Illinois
alone 18,466 dog bites were reported
to the state department of health in
1936 and there were 10 deaths from
rabies in that period.
The closer the site of the bite to
the central nervous system the
shorter was the incubation period of
the disease, the Cook County doc
tors found.
tractors.
More than 50 such groups have
made purchases since the first of the
year. Many applications for cutting
and discing plows, registered stah
lions, sorghum mills, mowing ma
chines, rakes and other valuable
farm equipment are pouring into the
county supervisors. Mr. Curtis has
pointed out that loans are safe since
all the master borrows have been
selected with care and they are
good, dependable farmers
One boy died three wee Its alter
receiving a bite on the face, where
another riierl tain innnttu ?f?er he
was bitten on the foot and thigh.
A bitten person must report im
mediately to a physician for treat
ment, the medical journal points
out. Every animal bite in which the
skin is broken must be cauterized
immediately with fuming nitric acid
carefully used.
When the bite is on the head or
neck, use of the vaccine should be
begun at once. It can be stopped if
it is later proved that the animal
does not have rabies.
One photograph accompanying the
article shows a child refusing to
take water. It is not fear of water
that causes the agonized expression
on the race of the rabies patient but
the knowledge that he cannot swal
low.
