Sagging Prices Seen For Leaf Crop The infant tobacco crop, now be ginning its first growth in plant beds, is expected to find a rough re ception when it finally reaches ware house floors next tall, believes J B Hutaon. assistant administrator of the Tnple-A Its preceding brother, the 1938 crop, turned out to be the largest on of flue-cured leaf. It was larger than 19J7's record crop by one-fourth and is 32S.0U0.000 pounds more than will be used during the current year. This means. Hutson explained, that world stocks will be 32S,000.000 pounds greater at the beginning of the next marketing season than at the beginning of the past season On top of that, present indications are that exports will be approxi mately 150.000.000 pounds less than usual In effect, this situation sets tr.e stage so that stocks in the Unit ed State.-, next July 1 will be about 475,000.000 pounds larger than at tlie beginning of the 1939 marketing season "Actually." Hutson said, "we need I less than half a crop of flue-cured to-, bacco this year According to our acreage allotments, growers should produce between 600.000.000 and 675.000.000 pounds of leaf in 1940. "But." he continued, "present in-1 durations are that it will be extreme' 1 ly difficult to market at reasonable prices this much tobacco next fall To meet this situation, the AAA executive urged that North Carolina growers, the largest producers of flue-cured leaf in the country, par ticipate and qualify for miximum payments under the Agricultural Conservation program, keep well within their tobacco allotments, and grow plenty of food for the family and feed for the livestock. Method of Effecting Boll Weevil Control J. O Rowell, extension entomolo gist of State College, says that en couraging reports of boll weevil control through the 1-1-1 molasses poisoning treatment continue to pour in to his office As an example of the effectiveness of the control measures advocated by.-the Exten sion Service, Rowell quoted the fol lowing report from F W. Reams, assistant farm agent in Halifax County "Three farmers?C H. Smith, of Scotland Neck; R Hunter Pope, of Enfield, and J. G. Shields, of Scot land Neck?averatfcd 499 7 pounds of lint per acre on 276 acres treated with molasses poison Farnvers?not using poison made average yields of from 150 to 200 pounds of lint per acre, with a number of growers reporting less than 100 pounds per acre. "Mr. Smith made a yield of 510 pounds per acre on 37 acres, where the cotton was grown on land that had a good growth of lespedeza turned under. Mr Pope reported an average of 498 pounds of lint per acre on 211 acres. Mr Shields grew 493 pounds per acre on 28 acres." Rowell explained that the 1-1-1 treatment consists of mixing one pounds of calcium arsenate with one gallon of water and one gallon of cheap molasses, and mopping the Record Automobile Output Predicted Detroit ?

Equipped with a carrier on the back fender of a bicycle, Rhodes would effect quick deliveries for an alleged wholesaler. Officers spotted him when he left a Church Street home and chased him down Elm Street. He lost his hot water bag filled with liquor and deserted his bicycle when it skidded into a fence.

WILUAMSTON Dr. John Williams Outlines Program Health Activities (Continued from page one) vital statistics until years later I re member the first death certificate I ever signed I filled out my part and gave it to the local undertaker, who happened to be a Negro carpenter whu knew I low to bend a board to shape a coffin. I instructed him to sign his part and file it but it was something new. something his great state demanded so after the solemn ashes to ashes, dust to dust, he marches up to the grave and with equal solemnity de (msited my first certificate with statement to all, "This my brothers and sisters is the death ha-diad with." Everyone knew it was alcoholism but we had certainly given the here after written official notice Thus you see Drs Saunders. Warren, Sinithwick. Knight and Long, and I know a heavenly Father deals as gently as they did with their siek and my friends. Rhodes. Long and Wards, who still carry on. could boast of our successes with no rec ord of our failures. Last year I know you lost 151 which is 6 per thousand population and this was just half the death rate you had in 1937 just before your health department came into exist ence. The rate this year is as low as you can expect, but 1 believe I am safe in saying that it can go higher and it's our business to see that it does not. Those 150 you saved by spending $7,000 for public health work might not amount to a row of pins to some people, but it is a pile of folks in any man's language and a precious, sacred, cemetery if it numbers among them your father, mother, sister,- brother or child and a real anguish if any were there be cause of you or your county's negli gence. J vi' told you what was here when 1 left, let's see what I find today. A full year has been completed and full credit given to all concern ed. This is not so much a diploma tic statement as I believe it was a grateful" acknowledgement of how a young stranger was Welcomed into your community. You backed your state health department and demand ^-d-4rained personnel instead of the politician's kinsfolk or ward heelers. I assure you they are not only train ed but interested. Your board of health is composed of the chairman of board of commissioners, your may or of county seat, superintendent of education. Dr Rhodes and hr Word from Medical society, and Dr. Mer cer from dental profession. With help a health officer outline pro grams and policies, your commission ers have a right to feel repaid for tax money appropriated, any one of whom can ruin a department but only when he is not interested en ough to learn. Your twice a week paper has been most liberal and with an article by the health officer ap pearing in every other issue it cer tainly should share all the glory of your first year's work. I have known a paper to refuse to publish an arti cle by local health officer trying to get better meat inspections because it might hurt the health officer but later censure the same health offi cer for a hydrophobia death when patient had a private physician and dog license department responsible for stray dogs. Politics cut capers with captions but honest interest in a community makes any publica tion an asset to any community. 8,000?This is one-third of your population, taking advantage of ty phoid vaccination. A method those of rural and urban sections must re ly on until a safe water and excre ta disposal can be had for all homes. 1,600?Two-thirds of all children under six years of age, ware given diphtheria protection, something which became legally required after January 1, 1940. We intend to check from month to month to learn how well the suggestion was carried out before it was law. For instance: this Januarywe will visit all children born last January, 1939. In February ?all1 thosc bortr last February, etc. it's a crime for a child to die with this disease as we have plenty of maans to eradicate it. To save a baby we will risk a friendship. Your 341 X-rays for childhood Tu berculosis was more than was done in a county with 375 yearly deaths from the disease We can thank our God we do not have so many special ists the state is afraid to offenfl by coming to help us do this amount of work. Climate may count a tiny bit, icate tuberculosis with our interest ed physicians. I suspect your syphilis rate fright ened yot but your 8,000 treatments and 2.000 blood tests did not scratch the surface, as people learn that it can be cured, should be found early, and everyone suspected it will grad ually disappear. But housewives must realize treatment is protection for infectiousness and a nurse with gonorrhea is Just as dangerous to your baby. A diaper pin prick, suck ed by nurse to prevent canker or brass infection caused worse rase of syphilis ever my misfortune to wit pulsivc for future study with you With a birth rate of 25 per 100. it is my humble opinion to keep down invalidism, pauperism, snd high in fant mortality rate in our rating of 55 white to 45 colored population. Here is a place for the Woman's Club birth control work. Dr. Coop er's 50.00 a month infant service, and all our efforts to teach the mid wives how to be good nurses and not ob stetricians. I know those women are necessary evils but the day is com ing when deliveries will be safer and every baby s wanted baby. Seventy per cent of children exam All Hope Is Not Yet Abandoned For Aid To Tobacco Farmer (Continued from page oat) something similar to his certificate j scheme was enacted to provide the money. While hope for a continued parity payment program was expressed in the President's conference wi(h the grnnp, _the dark put-, look for tobacco exports to Great Britain was brightened when Rep resentatives Warren and Cooley ap peared before Secretary of State Cordell Hull last Saturday Expressing grave concern **?"< r Britain's proposed plan to turn to Turkey and the Balkan States for its tobacco supply, the secretary told the Tar Heel congressmen that h< was ordering an immediate investigation to ascertain the full facts of the sit uation. The call upon Secretary Hull fol lowed close on the heels of a long discussion the day before with Secre tary of Agriculture Henry A. Wal lace in an effect to find ways and means of alleviating the blow to the tobacco grower. During the hour-long discussion, Secretary Hull impressed upon War ren. Cooley and Barden that he ap preciated fully the serious implica tions of the British action and stated that he was seeking information on all phases of the subject both here and in London. As soon as full reports are receiv ed from London, Secretary Hull said, he would meet with the congress men again to plan several possible ! courses of action. What these steps might be, the congressmen were not prepared to say after the conference hut they asserted that "economic, as well as moral pressure" could be ex erted upon Great Britain. All three stated that they were "much impressed" with Secretary Hull's attitude and his assurances that "vigorous steps" would be tak Advance Plans For Raising Prices To Tobacco Farmers (Continued from page one) A five-year tobacco control pro gram At present, control is on an annual basis The use of 20 per cent of Federal tax receipts from tobacco for parity payments to tobacco farmers Larger payments per acre for farm land taken out of tobaceo pro duction. ined with defects of which 70 per cent were preventable is a challenge to P T. A parents individually and health departments. I am glad nutri tion was fairly good. We can hope to remedy defects but other agen cies and individual efforts will have to supply nourishment As encour agement 1 will tell you I saw 3 nurses in a county of 65,000 reduce reme dial defects from 5 to 1-2 per child It's only a steady grind to clean up after such a survey as this is made. The dental program is an over and over process with all learning. The expectant mother is expected to build bones in the Jaws as well as to supply leg and arm bones to her baby. Your whooping cough and measles will continue to cause school ab sentees. There is hope for the whoop ing cough but measles remains as is. The visual test for bus drivers was good research and entitled to full consideration and further study Sanitation is fitting a community to the people. 18 months ago you have 90 gallons of Grade A milk in the whole county. Today you have four Grade A supplies, a standard ordinance (no pasteurization). Your food-handling establishments are graded and as a consequence you learn the citizens are also graded. We have Grade A folks who prefer Grade A places and Grade C folks who patronise Grade C food but the day is coming when all will demand the cleanest. YouFprtvy construction work w handicapped by forces beyond the department's control but not until every home has a safe excreta dis posal, which is not a surface toilet, and a safe water supply, which is not an open well, anything is like ly to happen. Saliva born diseases are today our greatest problem and your sanitary inspector to see that eat ing and drinki"g are pmp. erly sterilized is your most impor tant man in the community until everyone learns to screen a cough and sneeze or saliva stains like ink so all can see it. Intestinal born dis ease in our county demands more sanitary privy construction, more sewer connection, and extension of water lines. Our Mr. Leonard has one big Job ahead but with all of us realizing he is interested only for our -protection we will -make his work a pleasure. In reading Dr. Wilson's report and that of his assistants, I realize with his energy he did a tremendous amount of survey work as well as a great deal of permanent construc tion work?something that I never can equal but he has left plenty to do. He has built a determination in folks to do it, so I invite you to Join me in the steady grind, of "Let's Go." Public health is a public trust. Help me not to betray it. Remember this is home. FREE ?
