Problems in a Dairy Cattle Practice
( 1959) Elmer, Sam ; Iowa State University Digital Repository

Mastitis, from a disease standpoint is the most important problem concerning the dairy industry today. Veterinarians should meet the challenge offered by this problem and apply all the measures that we have found to stand the test of time and trial.

This has amounted to a concerted effort to side track all that has been known in the treatment of his disease in favor of the use of medicinal agents. It is indeed unfortunate that so many worthy and necessary practices have been forgotten during this era of seeking sure-fire shortcuts to the cure of mastitis.

( 1959) Monlux, William ; Mason, Donald ; Iowa State University Digital Repository

Radio as a Means for Public Relations
( 1959) Gilbert, G. ; Iowa State University Digital Repository

Veterinarians have, for several years, seen the need for a public relations program in their organizational set-ups. Many of these constituent organizations have gone out on their own to achieve remarkable progress in telling the story of our profession to the general public. Practically all of the veterinary organizations which have accomplished a public relations program have directed it toward the newspapers, either through a professional public relations consultant or by som~ committee of their own which has seen to it that the press of their area had been fully acquainted with veterinary problems and the advantages which the public can gain by knowledge of a veterinarian's assistance.
