As a result of the examinations, eight cases of pulmonary tuberculosis; six cases suspicious^ of pulmonary tuberculosis and two cases of first Infection tuberculosis have been found. The motion picture, "Cloud In the .Sky.", was shown to two hundred seventy-five people; eight hundred twenty-five leaflets on tuberculosis were distributed and seventy-five posters were placed on exhibit.

Throughout the year! there has been a fine response in all parts of the cdti&ily to what is being done by the tuberculosis nurse, showing that the negro citizens are coming to believe that tuberculosis can bo prevented and that early cases of tuberculosis can be cured. ROUGH-GINNED COTTON CAUSES FARMER8 LO88 Clemson, Aug. 10 ? Five hundred thousand dollars is the estimated loss each year to cotton farmers in South Carolina because of rough-ginned cotton, says C. V. Phagan, extension agricultural engineer, captaining that for the six-year period 1933-38, the state had 14 per cent of Its total cotton production classified aa rough ginned, according to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, U. S. Department of Agriculture. This was the highest percentage of any rate of the cotton-producing statea. "Fourteen per cent Is one bale out of every seven", Mr. Phagan continues. With a normal production of 700,000 bales, this means that 100,000 bales are classified as rough ginned each year. When cdtbon is sold on a quality basis the penalty for rough ginning varies from $1.50 to $10 or more per bale. With an average penalty of $6 per bale, this amounts to one-half million dollars a year." To reduce the high percentage of rough-ginned cotton atiA thus result In a saving to farmers of the state, the specialist urges' that there should be a united effort on the part of farmers, ginners, and cotton buyers. "South Carolina has made remarkable progress In the improvement of acre yields and .staple length of cotton," states. "By working together in a prograrq -to improve the methods of harvesting and ginning, there Is no rear aon why the state should not also make progress in matters of glide and preparation. - - ~ ~ # c? ? 1. "Farmers have the responsibility of lakfng-tbotr eoUoa to -gin? in good condition, that Is, clean and dry. Ginners have the responsibility of keeping their ginning machinery in good condition etnd In operating such machinery in order to turn out the best sample possible. Cotton buyers' responsibility In a program of this kind is Uj buy cotton on a quality basis, giving premiums for good preparation and penalizing cotton that is of poor preparation." I KEEP COOL?
