Aid For Farmers In Flooded Areas Farmers Can Secure Loans to Buy Necessary Operating Goods; Payments May Be Spread Over Long Period. Small Farmer in Better Position to Get Aid Than Share-Cropper Farmers who lost their feed crops as a result of recent floods rjm secure loans to buy seed, fer tilizer, livestock, fencing and other operating goods necessary to a long-range, live-at-home, farm improvement program. This is the word that comes to the State College Extension Ser vice from Vance E. Swift, state director of the Farm Security Administration . Mr. Swift points out, however, that certain farm ers are eligible for these loans and others are not. The small farmer, who operates his own farm, is in a better position to get the aid than are share-croppers. The loans are spread out for repayment over a period of years and can be made only on farms sufficiently productive, or that can be made so productive, as to warrant a sound farm plan. If the farmer should happen to be a tenant, he must have a satis factory lease, preferably a written lease for a period of years or one with a favorable renewal clause as will allow him to put into ef fect a long-range, soil conserva tion plan so that he may be able to repay his loan. However, Mr. Swift says, the FSA can make rehabilitation loans for seed, feed, fertilizer, and other farm and home supplies for one year. The interest rate is 5 per cent, and all applications should be ALL BUILDING MATERIAL Handled By Us Is of the HIGHEST QUALITY! PRICES ARE RIGHT! SURRY HARDWARE CO. The Best Place to Get It Elkin, N. C. IMPORTANT NOTICE Severe loss to our firm caused by the recent flood of the Yadkin river has made it im perative that we operate our business on a cash basis after September 30th. Since this policy has been made neces sary by our heavy loss, we sin cerely trust that our custom ers will continue to favor us with your business. Clyde Jennings NORTH ELKIN N made at once to the county FSA supervisors, usually located in the county seats. It is necessary for the county supervisor to work out with each applicant a thorough farm program as the basis for the loan and those farmers who need aid should get their applications to the supervisor at once. The following schedule of fall crops suited to the flooded areas has been worked out by E. C. Blair, extension agronomist at State College, and the farmer de siring loans should use this guide in figuring the amount of his loan and how the money so ob tained should be used. The outline for this section is as follows: Grain Crops: Wheat—For flour or for poul try or hog feed. Plant 3 acres per family or more if your AAA allotment permits. Plant at the rate of 6 pecks to the acre be tween September 15 and October 5, using the Fulcaster or Forward varieties, and fertilizing with 300 pounds per acre of a 4-10-4 mix ture at planting followed by top dressing with 75 pounds of nitrate of soda about March 20, next spring. Oats—This is a good supple ment to corn. Plant one acre for each horse, cow or 100 hens. Plant between September 15 and October 1, at the rate of 2 bushels per acre. Use the Lee variety and fertilize as for wheat. Barley—Can be used instead of corn. Plant one acre for each horse, 2 cows, 100 hens or brood sow between September 15 and October 1. Use the Tennessee Winter (bearded) or the Tennes see 6 (beardless) using 2 bushels of seed an acre. Fertilize the same as for wheat. Hay Crops: Plant one acre for each horse or cow. A good small grain mixture for seeding one acre of hay is one and one-half bushel of oats, one bushel of wheat or barley and 20 pounds of vetch or crimson clov er. Plant between September 15 and October l, fertilizing the same as for wheat. Crimson clover may be grown for hay by planting 30 pounds of seed per acre between September 15 and October 1 and fertilizing with 300 pounds of an 0-8-6 mix ture. Grazing Crops: Plant one acre for each 4 horses, 2 cows or 2 brood sows. A good grain mixture for graz ing is the one given under Hay Crops. Crimson clover as given under Hay Crops also may be grazed. A rye mixture may be used by planting one bushel of Abruzzi rye and one bushel of o%ts or beardless barley per acre between September 15 and October 1 and fertilizing with 300 pounds per acre of a 4-10-4 mixture. A clover mixture for grazing may be used by planting 20 pounds of crimson clover and 15 pounds of Italian rye grass per acre between September 15 and October 1 and fertilizing the same as for the rye mixture. THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA THE DOCTOR i^KEAJoaamm/ai p n 111 GAEGGGAAI i ■ IBEC— MEDIEVAL DOCTORS The ignorance of the men in the Middle Ages who undertook to practice medicine was truly colossal. But they had a sense of showmanship that was supreme. They adopted peculiar dress, car ried themselves with an air of deep mystery, had their offices filled with snake skins, stuffed frogs, bats, dried alligators, wal rus tusks and other bizarre crea tures brought to them by sailors who had the temerity to sail the seven seas and penetrate foreign lands. In addition to these they also displayed copper retorts, glass test tubes and beakers and lab oratory equipment, the uses of which they were ignorant, but these materials gave their offices what we now call "atmosphere." Many of these men had their own gardens in which they cultivated herbs, plants and vines, later to be made into medicines. Naturally there were those among them who had brains and they stumbled across helpful treatments and useful remedies. They, too, developed some surgi cal knowledge, but most of them were so saturated with false theories and superstitions hand ed down from the Dark Ages that they accomplished little of bene fit to the human race. These doctors were entirely too "high-hat" to touch a wounded or sick man with their fingers, but with the magic wand with which they were equipped, indi cated the place on the victim's body where the barber—for bar. bers were the first surgeons— should cut. Of course few recov ered because these tonsorial ar tists had less education than the doctors. They knew nothing of the circulation of the blood, the action of the heart, had never heard of germs or bacteria, and were far more superstitious than the doctors, who had at least at tended some university and pos sessed degrees. Armies then had no surgeons. The various Crusades into the Holy Land had no medical at tendants in their ranks. The wounded and the sick were left to themselves to get well as best they could and the pathway of these large bodies of soldiers were marked by the lame,,- the halt and the maimed. This custom of sucking wounds still exists in many countries. In India, native corn doctors apply one end of a ram's horn to the corn, and their mouth to the other end and withdraw the of fending bit of callous flesh from toes. Today, when no other means are convenient, snake bites are often sucked' to remove poi son injected into the victim by the reptile and contrary to pop ular opinion, snake venom thus introduced into the mouth seems never to affect the system of the one withdrawing the poison.

Two Yadkin Girls Charged with Thefts Two Yadkin county girls, sisters, were arrested in Winston-Salem one day last week on charges of shoplifting, while in Silver's store. The girls were Eva J. Taylor, 17, and Cora Taylor, 14, daughters of Mrs. Rufus Taylor and the late Rufus Taylor of the Quaker For bush community. Officers who took charge of the girls stated that they found var ious articles of clothing and wear ing apparel in their shopping bags, part of which belonged to the Silver Stores and part to three other stores in the Twin-City. In municipal court Eva Taylor was put on probation for one year and her sister, Cora, turned over to juvenile court authorities.

The loss was estimated at approximately $6,000. No cause for the fire, which was in full blaze when discovered, has been determined. Residents of the section said that they heard an explosion in the building about one o'clock in the morning, but other than that no details of the origin are known. The fire had gained such head way when discovered that fire men concentrated their efforts on preventing the spread of the fire to nearby homes and business houses. Carl Myers, owner of the build ing, estimated his loss at about $3,000. The stock was owned by Vick Weatherman, who estimated his loss, based on a recent inven tory when he purchased the stock, at $1,500 and equipment $1,200. The first fire of the series was about two weeks ago when the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dobson, on Bridge street, was de stroyed, and a few days later the old mill building, owned and used by Chatham Manufacturing com pany as a scouring and carboniz ing plant, was burned.
