The days in the mountains have been warm with coid nights and some heavy frosts, white in the east reports show fine weather, warm and dry. CROP HARVEST The harvest season was deiayed by the rains in September, but during the past month farmers have shown good progress. A majority of the cot ton has been picked, though many have had difficuity in getting pickers. A targe percentage of the com has been cut whole and shocked in the fietd. Tobacco is being marketed and remarks by farmers, heard at the sates, indicate satisfaction with the prices being received, which are somewhat higher than the average last October. The yields of tobacco have been tight and the quality of offerings dur ing the month has been of a rather low grade. Orchardists report the freit crop as being comparatively free from btight and scab. The crop is excellent and is being housed rapidly. Many truck loads of apples are observed along the roads leading from the commercial apple sections and grow ers report fair prices. COTTON The prospects for cotton improved some after the first of October when the condition was considered as about 47 percent of normal. The warm days sjnee that time have caused the crop to open rapidly, and though it was hard to pick, due largely to damage from excessive rains, reporters state that the crop Wilt be some better than they thought at fhht^tRRb. The, present condition f 49 ji&rceht'tbr the North Carolina crop forecasts # total production of 750,000 bales for this state. Gins are working rapidly but the output is far short as compared with this period last year. CORN The yield of corn is lower than it las been for several years. So little orn has been housed at this time hat an estimate is difficult, but 19 mshels per acre is considered high or most sections. The crop shows con iiderable rain damage and the quality s from poor to fair. An increasingly arge percentage is being harvested without the forage being taken. Com forage ahowa considerable damage from the iate raina. Smaii Grains—Progress of Pianting In the southern and mountain counties farmers have progressed more rapidiy in their faii pianting than elsewhere. Harvest work, cot ton picking and poor soil conditions have deiayed the planting of grain and many state that they are just be ginning to plant. Indications age for a good acreage as far as labor per mits. Potato Yields. Potatoes are showing good yields, though a large part of the crop is yet to be harvested. The quality is reported as about an average and prices received are considered low. Agricultural Fairs. A large number of county fairs have been held recently with marked success. Many others are scheduled for the next few weeks. The popula rity of these fairs is growing and ex hibits of farm products are proving a stimulant to improvement on the farm. One of the recent fairs notable for its splendid exhibits was the In dian fair held on the Cherokee Indian reservation. Winter Feeding Winter feeding crops have shown low yields and the production is be low a normal one. Features that are most discouraging to farmers at pre sent are reported as "poor markets, low prices of livestock, generally poor crop conditions." In some sec tions the dry weather is retarding fait planting. Some state that the scarcity of winter food and feed ipdipqtes a' severe winter. The weather pt pre sent' is fine and the outlook is im proving with the advent of the sun shine.—Cooperative Crop Reporting Service. —Solicitor T. A. McNeill returned Tuesday from Culpepper, Va., where he visited Capt. Tom William?, formerly of Red Springs. M'r. McNeill stopped over in Washington a couple of hours on the way home and out of curiosity interviewed many men at the New Willard hotel, finding an overwhelm-1 ng sentiment in Washington for re flection of President Coolidge. MM IS SMT MHE Hlf) A m Tommy was the family pride. Yet one day the family p< ide was sent home from schoo!. He had been sneezing and coughing and, as this As the day and generation when colds at# considered dangerous, the teacher and the nurse had decided Tomm^ should be sent home. "Were you a bad boy?" asked his mother. "Nope" replied Tommy, "They said I had to come home for a cold." ^ "Come home for a cold!" exclaimed his mother. "Tommy, you tell the truth. You did something wrong." "No, honest I didn't, mother," emphaticaHy repeated Tommy. "The idea! I don't believe teacher sent you home just for a cold." His mother could not be convinced. Not unkindly but firmly she bade Tommy go to bed as a punishment until he should confess his misde meanor. C* Now this wt s just what Tommy should have done but the wrong part of the treatm ent came here. His little sister, Agnes, a thin child of six was allowed to sit on the bed and play with him. She caught his cold. Molly, the older sister also began to sneeze, so that two days afterward when the nurse arrived to inquire for Tommy's health there were three sneezing and coughing children in the family. Tommy's mother, incredulous at first that her rosy-cheeked son could have been dismissed from school for such a seemingly small offence as a cold in his head, had a long talk with the nurse. She learned much about colds that she had never known before. "Agnes is really sick," 6aid the nurse, as she stroked the hot little forehead. "She must go right to bed and have a doctor." "What did they have fpr supper last night?" she continued. "Well, I gave them some pork left over from dinner and,fried po tatoes and bread and butt^h," was Tommy's mother's reply,.\ "They } always eat with their father at night," she added, "and they aUt h*ye a jolly big meal." ' } ^ The nurse looked at Agnes whose thin little body in her bed scarcely made any mound under the covers. "Pork!" she murmured. "She needs fresh vegetables, milk, cereals and eggs," said the nurse out loud. ;3. "Is it serious?" asked the mother. "Yes, colds often are," replied the nurse. "They end by being much more than coids." Little Agnes' cold ended by being much more than a cold. Her poorly nourished body was not able to resist the tuberculosis, germs that were already present in her body. Agnes had tuberculosis. Tommy and Molly also developed most serious colds and were left weak and thin. Their mother, with the old-fashioned horror of tu berculosis as a deadly disease was distraught. "Oh, my darlings, they'll all be taken from me," she wailed to poor father, who felt anything but gay himself. But the nurse saved the day. She went to the locai tuberculosis association, reported the situation and this is what happened. Little Agnes was moved to a children's sanatorium where in the sunshine and clear air she rested all day long and finally was cured. gTommy and Molly were sent to a summer camp, where children Who are run down and sickly may spend healthful days and nights in the fresh air, eat nourishing food and build up strong bodies to resist tubercu losis germs. In the fall when Agnes came back to the city she went to an open air school where she could do her lessons out-of-doors, have a mid morning luncheon and a rest period. Tommy went to a school where the windows were kept open and where he also had mid-morning nourishment and a rest period in the sunshine and fresh air. And now you say perhaps that a mere cold could never create such havoc in a family. And you are correct. A cold, alone, could not. The havoc was created before Tommy's cold ever thought of ar riving. Ilis mother had not given her children proper food, they were allowed to sit up late and they did not get sufficient sleep or fresh air. Their bodies were not strong enough to fight and conquer,the cold. ' Hence, the cold got the better of them. Sanatoria, open-air schools and summer camps and nutrition work are carried on for malnourished children. Here they can build up healthy bodies that will resist tuberculosis. Tuberculosis nurses de tect weak children who are predisposed to tuberculosis and the sick- ; nesses that may lead to tuberculosis. They also teach healthy habits ef living to mothers in the homes. These are all parts of the nation wide campaign to prevent and stamp out tuberculosis and they are supported by funds from the little penny Christmas seals sold in De cember.
