Cushman: “Brucellosis (Hangs disease) has been brought under control on all farms in ! South Carolina from which milk is sold commercially. ” But he warns that we can’t afford to let our guard down against the disease. Dairymen should have veterinarians retest their cattle periodically along to insure keep ing them clean. For, it must be remembered, other types of live stock also have and may trans mit this disease. To keep herds clean of this di sease is important not only to save losses there but to protect human beings that are subject to it too in the form of undulant fever. So, when your local health a u t h orities and veterinarians seem rather strict on this, re member they are protecting every one. munity development idea they started up there. He says they seemed “much impressed.” The Following Business Firms WILL BE CLOSED ALL DAY Saturday, Dec. 26th W. E. Turner, Jeweler Hamilton's Jewelry Store Fennell's Jewelry Store T. M.

RAY DAWKINS, County Treasurer Community Development” In 1953 Oconee County organ ized eight of its communities for systematic improvement and de velopment. In riding with County Agent Morgan there that fall I could see the difference when we hit one of them. Cleaner road sides, neater mailboxes, flowers and lawns spruced up many a farmstead, church yards and school grounds were improlved, more houses painted, and it look ed like better crops were grow ing in the fields. Next year this plan spreads to eight counties, with 40 commun ities organized. By this year, 1959, it had be come almost statewide, with 237 communities participating in 43 counties. County Agent Floyd of Edgefield tells me his county is completely organized for improve ment and development in nine communities. The folks in these organized communities get together, deter mine their aims and needs, and then go about trying to do some thing about them. Recently a group from Bolivia visited with County Agent Mor gan and those in Oconee obser ving the workings of this com-1 Bees And Honeydews You read about that 160 acres of honeydew melons they grew In the Barnwell area last summer. Weather turned out to be very bad on them. Yet many fine me lons were produced by those who were able to carry, out Dr. Co- hoon’s cultural and disease con trol recommendations on their plantings. This crop is not out of the woods yet. But it shows pro mise. Dr. Cohoon is concentrating op it at Clemson’s Edisto Sta tion. County Agent Griffith tells me they brought in 50 hives of bees from the Sptertanburg area and placed them around these honey- dew fields to help pollenate the flowers. And they got a heavy set of melons.
