6 h fl j^^kJ a ?^h Plant #2 Weaver HORACE ROGERS I Horace Rogers, Plant No. 2 weaver, enjoys raising calves in his hours of relaxation from Clinton Mills. Rogers, who has always lived on a farm, became interested in raising calves both to sell and eat several years ago. As his interest grew, he began to build a barn and brush up on his farming knowledge. He admits he's farming on a small scale, but the enjoyment is still there. He's with his animals so much, they practically become pets. In addition to his calves, Rogers attracted much at? H4J|_?_pi WHERE DOES THE TETANUS COME FROM? From penetrating wounds: a scratch while working in your garden, a minor cut at work, injury in an automobile accident, prick of a rose thorn, a rustv nail a tin can. The germs are present in dust, in the earth, and particularly in garden soil fertilized with manure. Even a wound so small it can hardly be seen makes it possible for the infection to develop. Tetanus toxoid has been IAS "TWO BEEFS" tention this year as he portrayed Clinton's version of "Jack and the Bean Stalk." Believe it or not, Rogers had a colored butter bean vine which measured over 65 feet tall. He harvested several bushels of beans from fVlic nnn trine He particularly enjoys raising the beefs because they are usually slaughtered in the fall to feed his family. Those not killed for personal use, are sold on the market. Recently he acquired a two hour old Holstein calf and has been feeding it on milk. "This is quite an experience," noted Rogers. d the NT NURSE'S DESK called "the perfect immunization." Its effectiveness was proved during World War II when only four tetanus cases occured among more than 2.5 million wounded soldiers who had received the complete toxoid scries plus a booster at tho tirrtD nf ir>inr?? Yet, many people have not taken advantage of this simple protection against this disease, one of the most deadly. Over 60 percent of those contracting tetanus will die.
