Tuberculosis is a costly disease,
costly to the individual, costly to
his family, costly to industry, cost
ly to the community. All of us tax
payers and rent-payers, must pay
for sickness, whether we are
ill or well. For the tuber
culosis patient there are such
tangible expenditures as loss
of wages and income, doctor and
hospital bills, besides the cost that
comes from the danger of spread-
Jr< r *Ms disease to his friends and
family.
At this very moment there are
xifa less than 330,000 active^ases cf
tuberculosis in the United States,
^eaiiy a dozen of which are said
to be in McCormick County. This
year, 1937, about 70,000 persons
itave died or tubeieulo^is, .nest Ox
v.her.i young ad sit:, for this is a
young person’s disease. If you will
multiply 590,000 living cases by $1,-
0X, Which is the carefully com
puted cost of a tuberculosis case
„o home, industry and community,
vou will get the stupendous total
of two billion dollars. That’s what
these 590,000 cases of tuberculosis
will cost you and everyone else who
lives in the United States.
But most of that cost is unnec
essary, since tuberculosis is a dis
ease that can be prevented. In fact,
it can be eradicated. That two bil-

lion dollars is like a leak in a great
dam o:* dike where the water chat
should be saved for productive uses,
runs away needlessly.
Why not stop this leak? We know
how to it; we have been able
to reduce the havoc of tuberculosis
from 150,009 deaths some thirty
y»ars ago to about 70,000 at vn3
present time. Three decades ago
175 persons out of every 109,00j
then living died annually from
tuberculosis wnile today the cor
responding rate is about 55.
We have learned from experience
how to control tuberculosis. We
know that hospitals for treatment
of the disease and for health pro
tection are cur main line of de
fense against the disease. We have
proved that clinics, doctors, tuber
culin testing and X-raying of high
school and college children ana
young adults, together with com
petent public health nursing, are
essential to find tuberculosis in its
early curable form'and to prevent
its spread in home, school and in
dustry. We know that health edu
cation in the school and in the
population at large will teach peo
ple how to avoid tuberculosis, and,
above all, we know that organiza-
don of community resources and of
focused public opinion on the
problem of tuberculosis are mighty
aids in getting rid of this White
Plague.
Why, then, should we allow a
leak of two billion dollars to con
tinue? It is simply because of in
difference on the part of the pub
lic. Some people know how to pre
vent tuberculosis but everybody
should know how to prevent it.
The tuberculosis associations oi
the United States, local, state, and
National, have been the leaders in
tne fight against tuberculosis. Their
biggest task is now before them.
With the distinct gains that have
been made in the last thirty years,
many, people think that tubercu
losis is conquered but this is far
from being the case. Tuberculosis
still is Public Enemy No. 1 among
the young people of this nation.
The job of conquering tuberculosis
can be completed but it needs the
support of every man, woman and
child in the country.
T he appeal of the Christmas
Seal is one way in which every
body can help to fight tuberculosis.
But it is only one way. Your money
is greatly needed to provide zhe
.inews of war to the fighters who
are leading the attack on this dis
ease. But more than your financial
support is necessary, your moral
support and your enthusiastic co
operation are also needed. Enlist
today in this life-saving campaign.
Sit down, now, if you haven’t al
ready done so, and seal up that dol
lar for the Christmas Seals and
mail it to J. Fred Buzhardt, Mc
Cormick County Chairman. Every
penny of this money will be used
to fight tuberculosis. Let every
citizen do his bit in this campaign
in trying to raise money that more
and more efforts may be put forth
for the citizens of this county to
be set free of the dread of this aw
ful disease.

Three points are emphasized by
Martha Pressly, Manager of the So
cial Security Beard’s Greenwood
3. C. Field Office, observance of
which will assist employers in com
plying with the Federal old-age in
surance plan.
“Our office has received numer
ous incomplete Forms SS-5,
Worker applications for ac
count numbers, filed by em
ployers under authority given
in Treasury Regulations” Miss
Pressly said. “We cannot assign ac
count numbers because there is in
sufficient information furnished
upon which to make a positive
identification of the workers in
volved.”
Miss Pressly’s three points are:
1. The employer, in failing to re
quire each employee to file appli
cation and secure an Account Num
ber, has obligated himself to file
for such employee, thus causing
himself otherwise unnecessary
work.
2. In failing to secure from this
employee sufficient information to
permit a positive identification he
has made it impossible for the
Board to assign an Account Num
ber.
3. His employee, from whom tax
has been collected, cannot be cred
ited with the amount of wages re

Well, we have had real winter
t.me the past few days and many
nice hogs are being killed in our
c mmunity.
Mr. Sam Morgan, Jr., returned
Sunday to his home in New York
City, after spending the summer
h3re with his aunt, Mrs. G. E.
Lukes.
Mrs. J. D. Bilton is spending the
week here with her grandmother,

gusta.
Mr. G. N. Moore of McCormick
Even in December farmers must
keep busy wi th important activities,
chiefly looking toward the future
says County Agent R. D. Subcr,
who lists these brief suggestions.
Agronomy
Weather permitting, turn heavy
soils that have no cover crops.
Put cotton under cover to pre
vent loss of $5.00 or more per bale.
Clean up briars and plum thick
ets around edges of fields.
Bed down stalls and barns with
leaves, pine needles, or grain straw;
the bigger the manure pile the
smaller the fertilizer bill.
Horticulture
Prune fruit trees and bunch
grp np.s.
Make garden plans, get cata
logs, and order seed before seeds
men are out of desirable varieties.
If fruit trees have not already
been set, do so this month; fall or
winter planting in the South is
preferable to early spring planting.
Prepare hotbeds for sowing in
January.
Prune scupernong vines to Dec.
15.
Propagate grapes and ornamen
tal deciduour shrubs from new cut
tings.
Terrace all land to be planted
to peaches before trees are set.
Insects and Diseases
Burn trash and weeds in gardens
and fields to destroy hibernating
insects.
Burn orchard prunings to destroy
shot-hole borers.
Plow under old stalks to destroy
insects.
Burn twigs severed by girdlers.
Apply lime sulfur or oil emulsion
dormant sprays after trees are
completely dormant.
Agricultural Engineering
Use tractors freely for belt jobs,
sawing wood, feed grinding, etc.
Cut in cotton stalks and other
material with a disc harrow.
Build and repair terraces now
so that they may settle before the
hard spring and summer rains.
Build or repair fences for better
handling of livestock.
Store the cultivating machinery
and grease parts that are likely to
rust.
Purchase a few needed farm
shop tools for machinery repair
vverk during winter months.

Camp Modoc News
Camp Modec, Ncv. 27. — The
Lc.npany’s strength has recently
reached its maximum foe thh
<uarter. Wc now have a total of
200 enreliees at the camp which
is also the largest number since
Camp F -11 has been established.
Thanksgiving day which is usual
ly a hazardous one from the stand
point of fire control was success
fully passed without a fire. There
were three smokes reported but all
turned out to be false alarms caus
ed by debris burners. Two foremen
and 48 enrollees are being retained
in camp over holidays and week
ends during the fire season to take
care of the fire situation. Com
munication is kept with additional
men at all times should an emer
gency develop that would require
more men.
District Engineer S. E. Puckette
is making a survey and taking
soundings at the Key Bridge over
Turkey Creek for a proposed new
bridge.
Lieutenant Loy Jordan attended
the Auburn-Georgia game in
Athens Saturday.
Inclement weather has slowed
down progress on construction but
in spite of it we are expecting to
complete the Key Road from State
Highway No. 23 to the Key Bridge
by December 3. About one-half mile
was graded on the Turkey Road
during the past week.
Farm News
Bright Spots
Winnsboro, Nov. 13.—R. H. Lem
mon, county farm agent, thinks
that one of the best clays of exten-
"irm v-ork he has ever done was on
Oct. r.T when he carried a group of
farmers to a prominent beef cattle
breeder’s farm in the state and
purchased seven purebred Here
ford bulls for several farmers lo
cated in different sections of the
county. “With the present labor
conditions and the unfavorable
outlook for profitable cotton pro
duction, more and more of our
farmers are turning to livestock
as a source of income”, he states.

Laurens, Nov. 13:—Laurens farm
ers have purchased three small
combines for harvesting lespedeza
seed and' other farm seeds, says

porting these results: G. F. Bu
ford, Clinton, harvested approxi
mately 60 acres of Korean lespe
deza and has thrashed the rise of r
22,000 pounds of clean seed. Mr..
