The Christmas seal birth and early tuberculosis drive
The piece traces the origin of the Christmas seal from Denmark in 1904 to its rapid American adoption by 1908, aided by Miss Bissell and the Red Cross. It notes the seal as an emblem for a tuberculosis campaign and highlights key figures and institutions shaping the nationwide sale and funding of sanatorium care. It also retells Dr Edward Livingstone Trudeau’s life and his role in tuberculosis treatment and the Trudeau sanatorium, from his New York roots to his medical career and personal illness.

Trudeau Sanatorium Born From Adirondack Rest Cure Effort
Edward Livingston Trudeau sought the peace of the Adirondacks to fight tuberculosis. After discovering the rest cure, he built the first U.S. sanatorium model in Paul Smiths New York, the Little Red Cottage, later evolving into a national TB program. He led the National Tuberculosis Association as its first president in 1904, while personal tragedy and ongoing illness marked his life as the sanatorium thrived in the wilderness.

Insect Damage Fought in Winter at NC Brethren College
Insect damage to stored grain is fought in winter using carbon disulphide or carbon tetrachloride. Treat seed in airtight barrels with two wraps of paper, then seal and vent after two to three days. For large quantities, use airtight bins with twenty pounds per 1000 cubic feet, cover seed with sacks, treat at warm midday, and follow with air slaked lime as an alternative.

Saving Soy Beans And Straw For Profitable Harvest
Soy beans this year show 60 percent more acres than last year with likely ample yield. Farmers should thresh many beans and save the nutritious straw for forage as demand for soybean seed rises next spring. The crop is favored on government contracted land and performs well against chinch bug infestations.
