It is time for farmers to be making their plans g
' ; for financing fertilizer purchases and other 1926 crop
costs. They should get on a cash basis as far as pos
. sible, even if they have to borrow. . £
Interest is cheaper than paying time prices, es- g
pecially in the purchase of fertilizer. This bank is the -

BUREAU OF HEALTH EDUCATION,
N. C. STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
MUMPS
Mumps is another one of the coa
t»ag;ous diseases which cause children
mkl, some times, older people a great
d L*-al of trouble but relatively seldom
c.iuses death.
Just below the lobe of the ear at
the angle of the jaw on each side-is
a small gland, the parotid gland, it
is the largest of the salivary glands
and empties its contribution of sali
va to the mouth byway of a small
tube called Stenson's duct.
For some reason, the virus which is
Lie organism causing mumps, chooses
this parotid gland as the site for its
greatest activity just as the pneumo
coccus chooses the lungs and the diph*
ther a bacillus chooses the upper re;
spiriatory tract. The toxins elimi
nated by the mumps virus, however,
just like the toxins of other infec
tions, are absorbed by the blood and
lymph and circulated throughout the
entire system causing general systemic
symptoms.
After the infection enters the sys
tem, when the ind vidual is exposed,
there is a period of ten to twenty days,
usually about fourteen days, before
there are any symptoms, then there is
a period of one or two days when the
patient feels more or less ill before
the typical swelling of the gland is
noticed. Most often, however, there
is nothing more than an apparent
slight cold and mumps is not consid
ered until the ch id complains first of
a pain in the jaw, usually while eat
ing, cr the swelling is naticed. The
gland continues to swell for three or
four duy3, remains stationary for ona
or two days and usually completely
disappears in ten days or less time.
Other salivary glands, es ally
the submaxillary, are somet h. in
volved and occasionally there is in
olveinent of the reproductive glands,
.he testicles, ovaries and breast.
To avoid complications, it is very es
sential ibat persons remain quiet
either in bed or at least very cure
ully protected and quiet in the house.
This is sometimes difficult in the case
>£ children who are not feeling serioua
y ill.
Mumps most frequently occurs in
he pre-adolenscent age, that i z be
vveen the ages of eight to fourteen.
The infection is seldom transmitted
by clothing or by a third person.

Nitrate Applications
Should Be
Finished By June Ist
As a result of four years’ experi
ments on cotton, the Mississippi
(Delta) Experiment Station recom
mends as “the safest and most paying
rate of application” from 150 to 200
pounds of Nitrate of Soda per acre.
These results are so typical of the
large majority of those secured with
Nitrate at experiment stations
throughout the South, that they are
summarized here to show the 4-year
average net profit from 5 different
treatments, as follows:
Lb*. Nitrate of Soda 4-Year Average
Applied per Acre Net Acre Profit
50 $10.73
100 15.92
150 26.19
200 30.10
250 33.67
The Station’s results are interesting
from another standpoint, for accord
ing to the Director of the Station they
indicate that there is danger of apply
ing Nitrate too late.
Thus, when the application is much
over 100 pounds per acre, it is recom
mended that half be used at planting
and half at the second cultivation,
but, says Director Ayres, “Those who
are not sure the fertilizer can be ap
plied as a side dressing by the time
the first squares appear should apply
it all at or before planting.”
This, of course, is true not simply of
cotton but of many other crops as
well. For example, Farm Agent H. H.
Hester, Red River Parish, Louisiana,
reports that demonstrations on sugar
cane in which 200 pounds of Nitrate
of Soda per acre were used gave excep
tional yields despite a dry season. It
was clearly shown by these tests that
early applications of Nitrate “are
essential to give full protection against
a possible drouth.”
As a general rule, side dressings of
Soda at the rate of 100 pounds per
acre can be profitably made if the
work can be finished by the first of
June. (g)

Two Voices from Charlotte
(The Chapel Hill Weekly)
Since the beginning of the dis
of narrowness and intolerance.
Likewise, as the home of David
Clark and his Textile Bulletin,
that city has gained distinction
as the fountain of the doctrine
cussion of the proposal to ban
the teaching of evolution in pub
lic institutions, the state of
North Carolina has become ac
customed to regard Charlotte as
the headquarters of the party
that textile manufacturers are
a sacrosanct class whose virtue
and omniscience it is blasphem
ous to question.
{ It is refreshing, therefore, to
I see in the newspapers two ex
pressions of enlightened opinion
from citizens of Charlotte—one
from Thaddcus A. Adams, law
yer, the other from Robert Las
siter, manufacturer.
Mr. Adams’ statement was
elicited by the launching of a so
called “committee of 100’’
which recently set out to im
pose a religious test upon teach
ing. He says:
“Our conception of religious
freedom as guaranteed to us
under the fundamentals, pre
j eludes the state from adopting,
I requiring or prohibiting any
| phase of religious belief. There
fore, the law cannot adopt any
test or standard in religious mat
ters as such. Therefore, while
the legislature can prescribe the
course of study in the public
schools, that course of study
cannot legally be prescribed,
modified, contracted or prohibi-
I ted, either in whole or in part,
directly, for, on account of, in
favor of or against any religi
ous belief. To do so, directly or
indirectly, affirmatively or nega
tively, would allow the state to
legislate in establishing, prohi
biting or advancing certain reli
gious beliefs, which cannot be
done by any government under
a constitution guaranteeing to
all religious freedom.”
! Mr. Lassiter’s topic is night
work in the mills for women
anl children. “He protests a
gainst the condition,” says the
Raleigh Times, “on the grounds
both of health and sound busi
ness.” And the Times hazards
the guess that “it is altogether
likely that Mr. Lassiter speaks
for more textile employers in
North Carolina than did Editor
! David Clark when he endeavored
jto tell the non-cotton-milling
i world where to head in.”
,“ - ■
is likely, too, —anyw r ay, we
i prefer to believe so—that Mr.
Adams and Mr. Lassiter are
more representative of senti
ment among Charlotte people in
general than are the religious
and economic reactionaries who
| have been giving that commun
j ity an unenviable reputation a
| mong intelligent people.
