J it , STATE-WiDE LEiCfl O FuOir . li' OER WAY CI Ml BIA ' - Movement Is to Provide People of North Carolina More Doctors, Especially In Smaller Communi ties as Well as Better Medical Care A movement to provide for the people of North Carolina more doc tors, especially in the smaller com munities and rural areas, and better medical care was under way through out the State this week. A program to achieve this goal was launched at a meeting of more thas -800 leaders f Various profes sional, business, industrial and lay groups from all sections of the State who gathered in Thomasville last Thursday and organized the North Carolina Good Health Association. The meeting was called by I. G Greer, Superintendent of the Bap tist Orphanage at Thomasville. Citing numerous facts to show that North Carolina ranks low among states in hospital and medi cal care, the Association, in prelim inary plans, took steps to carry to every nook and corner of the State a movement "to support the efforts of the Governor, the North Carolina Medical Care Commission, the medi cal allied professions, and other groups and individuals working for the good health program." The Legislature of 1945, under the leadership of Governor Cherry, it was pointed out, established machinery for the inauguration of the program. Making an inspiring address Mr. Ramsey, general manager of the Asheville Citizen-Times, pointed out that the Governor's Commission of included three former Governors, 0, Max Gardner, Clyde Hoey and J. Melville Broughton; the Chairmen of the two major political parties in this state, William B. Umstead of Durham, and Sim A. DeLapp of Lex ington: national committeemen for both parties, Wilkins . P. Horton of Pittsboro and Charles A. Jonas of Lincolnton; half a dozen presidents of the State Medical Society, and many other representative citizens. Citing the inadequacy of the state's health program at present, the Association's charter pointed out that: "In the number of hospital beds per thousand population, 41 of the 48 states in the Union now rank ahead of North Carolina. "In the number of physicians per thousand population, 44 of the 48 states rank ahead of North Carolina. "In the death-rate of infants, 38 of the 48 states have a lower per centage than North Carolina. "In the selective service rejections for physical defects in 1944, 47 of the 48 states had a lower percentage than North Carolina." The machinery created by the 1945 Legislature for the inauguration of the good health program, it was pointed out, calls for "1 State assistance in the of indigent sick.

He said that almost all of the county medical societies, the Asso ciation of Public Health Officials, the State Nurses Association, the North Carolina Pharmaceutical Association, the North Carolina Hospital Associa tion, and many other representative organizations of North Carolinians, farm groups, women's groups, labor groups and business, educational, professional and religious leaders had endorsed this program. , President Frank P. Graham of the University of North Carolina, who presented Mr. Ramsey, declared that ' North Carolina, long the Southern' leader in good schools and good roads, today faces a challenging op portunity fof carrying forward promptly its wisely planned program for good health." Although the organization is in its infancy, already the names of more than 1500 representative North Carolina citizens, coming from var ious groups, were signed to a charter which was unanimously adopted by the new Association. The signers Charles H. Jenkins, establishing and equipping rural health centers. "3 A medical-education loan fund to help worthy North Carolina young men and women, who pledge them selves to practice in a rural com munity for four years. "4 The expansion of the two year medical school of the Univer sity of North Carolina into a stand ard four-year school. "5 A special study of the medi cal education of Negroes.

It is to organize "the strong pub lic sentiment already expressed by our people that the North Carolina Good Health Association has been organized to support this entire pro gram; so vital to the health and pro ductive powers of our people and vital to the economic, social and spiritual progress of North Caro lina," the charter declared. A Central Committee of more than 50 leaders of various state organi zations is announced in process of Organization, which includes Senator The above pasture picture wad not taken in Perquimans County but pastures equally as good can be developed in this county. Since moisture is one of the principal limiting factors in the de velopment of good permanent pastures in the South, lowland areas where moisture conditions are favorable generally provide the best location on the farm for pastures. The following Perquimans County farmers have started develop ing some permanent pastures: U. C. Caddy, Roy Chappell, Clarence Hunter, J. E. Hunter and Carroll Williams. They seeded white clover in October and will seed lespedeza and Dallis grass on pasture in March. , Pastures should be fertilized according to recommendations de veloped by North Carolina Extension Service or have the soil ana lyzed for recommendations. Farmers interested in pasture improvement, drainage or other conservation practices should contact the Soil Conservationist or County Agent. Agent Urges Control Worms In Livestock New Harness?

Much of this lose might be saved by the proper treatment of farm animals for worms. Pasture rotation, sanitation and other sound methods of management are essen tial to the success of any parasite control program. The U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry has developed a product Known as rnenotmazine, which has proved to be the most effective and practical means of controlling parasites. Phenothiazine is convenient and economical to use and is recommend ed by the Bureau of Animal Indus try and various experiment stations. It may be administered by several methods including pellets, drenching and powder. Horses, cattle, sheep, goats, hogs and poultry may be treated with Phenothiazine. The ap plication of Phenothiazine with feed has been found a time-saving method for treating cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry". As a rule, young animals are the most seriously affected by heavy in festation but usually no treatment should be necessary for lambs under three months of age, pigs under two months, cattle under three months and horses under six months. It is difficult to produce hogs and sheep profitably in Perquimans County without some method of worm con trol. - When feed mixtures are used, animals varying in size should not be treated in one group. It is not necessary to fast animals before treatment but the animals should be hungry when treated. Care should be taken that each animal gets his share. Do not treat cows that are being milked for home use or sale, and do not treat sick or weak animals. Worms in sheep may be controlled by keeping a mixture of salt and Phenothiazine before them 'at all times.

IL Cool nights have slowed down planting in south Texas but this should become more active around April 1. In the Southeast weather conditions are also delaying plant ing. Labor conditions are expected to be something of a factor in de termining the acreage of peanuts which will go into the ground this year. In the Southwest some mills have discontinued shelling operations until after seed requirements have been met Considerable seed in that section will be planted in the shell. In. the Southeast many shelters continue to devote practically their entire time to the preparation of seed and mixing and distribution of fertilizers for the coming planting season. In the Virginia-Carolina section harvesting of last fall's crop is practically completed, although a few fields may still remain unpicked. Movement of farmers stock peanuts has been fair in this territory. De mand for shelled Virginias, cleaned jumbos in Virginia, and for all shell ed goods in both the Southeast and Southwest has been far in excess of available supplies at ceiling' levels plus markups. In the Virginia-Carolina area there appear to be suffi cient fancys to meet current demand with some mills reporting a little accumulation of this grade. Fancys have been selling mostly in mixed cars with either shelled Virginias or cleaned jumbos at 15-15 34 c per lb., Mr. and Mrs. G. J. Barclift Sunday afternoon at Nixonton.
