Georgia Depicted
As Best Stale for
Cattle and Timber
At the resent Atlanta premiere
of “The Brighter Look,” a new
Georgia - produced educational
motion picture, Gov. Herman
Talmadge said dairying, live
stock and timber are industries
which thrive better in Georgia
than anywhere else in the United
States and these industries alone
are enough to make Georgia one
of the nation’s richest states.
“It is vital that we preserve a
strong rural economy,” he said,
“for the farmers are the back
bone of our economy. We are
now standing on the threshold
of one of the most prosperous
eras in the farm economy of
Georgia. It is an era of diversified
agriculture and the results will
maks us a happy and prosper
ous state.”
To illustrate his point, the Gov
ernor said that within the past
ten years the value of livestock
products produced in Georgia
had increased more than 500 per
cetat and that dairying has pro
gressed to the point where it is
no longer necessary to import
fluid milk to serve the needs of
the state.
He praised the progress of the
state in forestry, pointing out
that the state this year is pre
pared to provide from 40 to 50
million pine seedlings for refor
estation. He also told of efforts
to improve rural health condit
ions, with 64 hospitals and health
clinics now under construction
in rural areas, and of the start
his administration has made in
paving farm-to-market roads
"But the finest thing going on
in Georgia today,” Gov. Tal
madge exclaimed, “is the new
outlook for the boys and girls
of the farms. Our young people
now living on the land are stay
ing on the land. The 4-H Clubs
and the FFA Clubs are doing a
great job.”

MILK FROM THE
FAMILY COW IS
DISCUSSED IN DETAIL
Safe and wholesome milk has
long been recognized as the
most nearly perfect food because
it is rich in muscle, bone, and
tooth-building substances as well
as an excellent source of fat.
Milk from the family cow for
home use, however, does not al
ways receive proper care. Such
neglect may not seem so impor
tant as a fresh supply is avail
twice a day and rapid souring
is of little consequence. Milk,
though, is an easily contami
nated, perishable food and
should always receive proper
care. Mpch of the milk produced
for home use has been found
to be unnecessarily dirty. By us
ing a few precautions, cleaner,
safer, butter flavored milk can
be achieved.
Health of Cow Fundamental
Tuberculosis can be contracted
by a human from drinking milk
from a cow having bovine tu
berculosis. Undulant fever can
also be contaced by a human
from drinking milk from a cow
having Bang’s disease (contag
ious abortion). Both of these
diseases in the cow can be de
tected by certain tests which
any qualified veterinarian can
perform.
Another disease of cows which
may be present is mastitis (gar
get). In the worst stages of this
infection it can be detected by
lumps or clots in the mlk. The
milk may also develop an off
' flavor.
No milk from a diseased cow
should ever be used for human
consumption.
A clean, light, well-ventilated
stall, stanchion or tie-up should
be provided in the barn for
housing the cow during milking
and cold weather. The floor of
the stall should be of concrete
and kept clean. Walls and ceil
ing should be tight and kept
clean and free from dust and
cob webs. By all means the ceil
ing should be tight if feeds are
stored overhead.
Milking outside on a grassy
plot on a fair day may not seem
iso bad, but milking outside in
; the rain or in a dusty fly-infest
ed fence corner is a dirty prac-
I tice. A clean, inside milking stall
lis always best.
Clean milk cannot be milked
from a dirty cow. Prior to milk
ing, the cow’s flanks, tail, and
udder should be brushed clean.
The flanks should be washed to
remove adherent dirt if neces
sary. The udder and teats should
be hashed with clean water and
dried with a clean cloth. Clip
ping the long hair on the udder
| and flank is a good practice as
it makes the cow easier to clean.
Wash and dry the hands
thoroughly before milking. A
small-mouth, sanitary milk pail
is better than an open pail as it
will keep out a considerable
amount of dirt.
Use Care In Handling Milk
The best strainer is the type
using the single service sanitary
cotton disc. This strainer can be
purchased at a mail order house,
lif it cannot be found locally.
Woven wire and cloth strainers
hire hard to keep in satisfactory
i condition and are not efficient.
Prompt cooling and cold stor
jage of milk is important to pre
vent growth of germ lige (bac
terial) and scouring. If a me
chanical refrigerator is avail
' able, cooling is not a problem. If
i flowing spring or well water is
used to cool milk, it is possible
to reach a temperature of 60“
F. or less by suspending into
the water a small cream can
containing the milk. It is best
|to use a thermometer and be
sure that milk is cool within
two hours after milking.
It is important to remember
that milk may be sweet and still
I contain enough bacteria to cause
diarrhea in young children. Most
! physicians recommend boiling
all milk fed to infants and very
young children.
Clean Utensils Thoroughly
Milk utensils should be of hea
vy tinned material with no open
I seams. They should be cleaned
by rinsing free from milk with
cold water scrubbing with a
stiff-bristled brush and hot wa
ter containing sal-soda or other
cleaner, and rinsed with boiling
water containing one tablespoon
of a chlorine laundry bleach
to each gallon. The utensils
should be stored in a clean
plac.e, free from dust and flies.
Those who are not sure of the
milk supply they are using may
protect themselves by using a
method of pasteurizing milk at
home. Place the milk in a vessel
over n hot flame and heat to
100* F.. stirring constantly; |
then. Immediately set the vessel
in cold water and continue stir
ring until cool
EXCISE TAXES
Secretary of Commerce

Health Specialist
Answers Questions
Regarding Cancer
What is cancer?
Whq,t causes it, and how does
it spread through the body?
Is it contagious or infectious,
and is it hereditary in human
beings?
According to Miss Lucile Hig
ginbotham, health specialist for
the State Extension Service,
these are among the questions
most frequently asked regarding
cancer.
Complete information can be
obtained by writing “Cancer” in
care of your local post office or
by consulting your family physi
cian. Briefly, however, Muss Hig
ginbotham answers the ques
tions as follows:
Cancer is a disorderly growth
of cells of the patient’s own tis
sues. This growth is disorganized,
forms no useful structures, in
terferes with normal tissues,
never ceases during the patient's
life and, unless removed or de
stroyed, causes death.
There are many causes of can
cer. Frequently it follows some
form of chronic or prolonged ir
ritation. More than 400 chemi
cals are capable of producing
cancer when introduced into
i laboratory animals. Prolonged
i exposure to high temperatures
may cause it to develop on ex
posed parts of the body, and
constant friction on a mole, a
wart or old burn scar may pro
duce it.
Cancer spreads through the
body in three ways. Cancer cells
grow through the walls of blood
vessels and are carried to near
by glands: they enter the blood
stream and are carried to dis
tant parts of the body, or they
grow directly from one tissue
into another.
As cancer is not due to a germ,
it is neither contagious or infec
tious. There is no record in
medical literature of physicians
or nurses getting cancer from
their patients.
There probably are inherited
tendencies to form cancer of dfi
ferent types. However, since the
method of inheriting such ten
dencies is obscure and undoubt
edly complex, the pressure of
cancer in one or both parents
should merely be a cause of
greater alertness in looking for
and recognizing suspicious con
ditions. Facts do not justify
a fatalistic attitude in such
cases.

Loan Association has received a

been reached with the splendid
cooperation and assistance of of
ficers and directors of the nat
ional farm loan associations in
the district. They have played
an important part in bringing
the bank to the strongest finan
cial position in its 33-year his
tory.”
“The dividend will substanti
ally strengthen the operating
and reserve position of the as
sociation." T. W. Price, secre
tary-treasurer of the association,
said. “Capital, reserves and sur
plus now amounts to more than
$44,500.00," he reported. The as

TEACHERS REACH
NEW HIGH LEVEL
IN STATE SCHOOLS
Teachers in Georgia schools
this year have an average of 3.73
years of college training, in con
trast to 2.9 in 1944-45, according
to a surevy of the qualifications
of teachers in the white schools
of the State just made available
by Dr. M. D. Collins, State Su
perintendent of Schools. The
study was made by John J. Med
lin, supervisor of certification.
9,600 of Georgia’s 16,000 white
teachers now have four years or
more of college training, and
only 800 have one year or less.
This represents an increase of
60% over 1944-45 in teachers with
four years of training. In that
school year, only 6,0000 teachers
had completed four years of col
lege work.
While only three systems have
teachers with an average of
more than four years of college,
twenty-seven systems have an
average of between 3.5 and 4
years, and teachers in 86 other
systems have an average of more
than three years. Only thirteen
systems had an average of two
to 2.5 years.
This year, 1,600 teachers have
completed five years of college.
8.000, or almost precisely half of
those in the State’s school sys
tems, have completed four years.
2,900 have completed three years
and 3,800 have completed two
years.
