DR.HALDI/L'.N HERE
Dr,Haldman who doss the Tuber
culosis survey for the Territory
was in ■‘•aimer and presented
three educational pictures to
the school children.
One was the life of "Tee-Bee",
this depicted how the germ of
Tuberculosis entered the body
and does its work of damage and
also how the body fights against
the disease.
another picture called "Behind
the Shadows", gave the story of
a boy with Tuberculosis and"the
cure.
A third picture; "Let My People
Live" gave the story of a negro
frmily in which the mother had
Tuberculosis and passed it on to
daughter who was cured in a
Sanitorium.after refusing to be
treated by old fashioned ways
with herbs and witchcraft. Ker
brother had been infected but
his body did not succumb to the
disease. He attended school in
Tuskecgee.
Throughout the pieture was music
sang by the Tuskoegee choir and
used as back ground in making
the picture. This music made the
picture very impressive.
BRING LOCAL SEED IN
Arrangements have been made at '
the warehouse for handling local
seed. All those who have seed
for sale arc requested to sock
and bring it in as soon as pos
sible .
The procedure which to be follow
ed is that your seed will be
weighed and tagged and a receipt
given. The warehouse will obtain
from your sacked grain a composite
sample from which a germination
test will be made.
When the gemination report is
received from the Experiment
Farm, the results will be entered
on all the tags covering indivd
ual lots, and w ill in effect be
a certification of quality.
When certification of quality
has been completed, the owner of
the seed will be paid on the
basis of the germination tost at
adjusted prices based upon the
cost of Outside seed now being
purchased. We shall endeavor to
announce that price elsewhere in
this issue or by bulletin in
veur mail box.
