Kansas Reduces Cattle Disease
Kansas was honored by the USDA for cutting brucellosis in cattle, reducing human undulant fever risk and saving millions. Gov. John Anderson accepted the award noting Kansas moved to a modified certified brucellosis area as tests show sharply falling herd infection and rising calf vaccination. A statewide eradication effort led by A. G. Pickett and Dr. David O. Manezy involves milk ring testing, follow-up blood tests, and swine brucellosis programs with KSU and veterinarians.

Lumber Is Newly Tapped Kansas Export Product
Kansas timber boom centers on eastern Kansas native wood with 1.5 million acres suitable for lumber. Independent sawmill near Independence, run by Leonard Barton, ships furniture lumber to California and the Carolinas while exporting soft elm to Europe for coffins. Local forester C R Biswell aided site choice and layout. Barton now employs eight workers, with 15 loggers supplying logs within a 60 mile radius. Production expected at 2.5 million board feet this year with orders reaching from California to Arkansas.
