Bangs Disease Control
Good news comes to us in this
statement from our dairy special
ist, C- G. 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.”

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

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.
