PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT
As health officer I am calling the
attention of the public to the fact that
we haVe on a campaign of vaccina
tion against typhoid fever for it is
the tltne of year to look after taking
all precaution against this awful di
sease. Before the Board of Health
went to work and discovered how to
prevent typhoid fever we used to be
overcome With this disease, but since
vaccination" is a certain preventive
and screening windows and doors are
a great help, we have almost ellml
neted this disease from our county,
but several cases have been reported
recently and hare a tendency to in
crease. Let us take warning and be
prepared for ft.by having the family
vaccinated. It la tree, doesn't cost you
anything but the time it takes to go
to any doctor's office and make them
all safe by being vaccinated. Then go
home and sea if your doors and win
dows need their screens repaired. Then
clean up your house and yard- Vje got
rid of malaria fever and chilli by
cleaning up and we can do the same
wt$ typhoid fever. Loqleburg ig

BLAIR SOUNDS CALL FOR WINTER
FARMING
Raleigh, July 26.?Had it not been
for the hay crops of oats, barley, or
wheat with vetch planted last fall and
harvested this spring, many farmers
in the 8tate would have been with
out feed for their stock this sum
mer.
"It's time, therefore, to begin to
think about fall cover crops," says
B. C. Blair, extension agronomist at
State College. "The forehanded man
will make h^g plans now. He will
find out where he can get good seed
and will plan to sow them early
enough to get a good stand before
cold weather. Such a man will get
two or three times as good returns
from his Investment as the one who
waits until the last minute, hurriedly
buys the seed nearest at hand, whe
ther good or bad, and sows them too
late to permit of good fall growth."
Mr. Blair gives It as his opinion
that farmers of North Carolina should
sow a greater acreage to cover crops
this tall than ever before. The dis
astrous droughts of the past two
years Is the basis for this opinion.
Many county agents have reported to
him that the crops planted in the fall
and which grew during the winter
and early spring, when there was
nvolstare in the soil, have been the
only ones which gave good yields.
"We have found that a good crim
son clover crop, when turned under
may be depended on to add seventeen
bushels to the next year's corn crop,'
says Mr. Blair. "Vetch, add phosphate
and kalnlt, without commercial nitro
gen, are giving from M to H bushels
10 yield of corn on poor, sandy soils.
Fall planted oover crape to be cut
