Detailed and accurate reports for the months of November and December were not at hand and estimates were made of births and deaths during this month by the registrar of vital sta tistics. Deaths in 1926 were estimated at 34,601, or a thousand in excess of those in 1925. Automobiles took a toll of 400 lives during the years. Bums caused the deaths of 283 per sons.

BIGGER TOBACCO PROFITS FROM BETTER PLANT BEDS Raleigh, N. C., Jan 5.—Good qual ity tobacco will bring a premium ! nearly every year, while poor quality tobacco will hardly pay the cost of production in most years. | “One of the most important fac tors in starting right with a tobacco j crop is to have a good plant bed,” | says E. Y. Floyd, tobacco extension specialist at State College. “It is especially important to have a good tobacco plant bed this year since the prospect is for a large increase in acreage. The man who produces qual ity weed will be the man to make a profit, while the man who produces a poor grade will be in the same condi tion as the cotton farmers are now.” Therefore, suggests Mr. Floyd, the grower should use every precaution to secure suitable soil. The seed bed should be thoroughly prepared and it should be located in a warm place that early plants may be secured. Leaf spot diseases of the crop may be prevented by treating the seed be fore planting with the formaldehyde solution. The solution is prepared by mixing one tablespoonful of formal dehyde with one pint of water. This solution is placed in fruit jar^ and the seed dipped into the solution for ten minutes using a small cloth sack. On removal, the seed should be washed and so read out to dry. According to Mr. Floyd, this method, advocated by plant disease workers at State Col lege, has proven very effective in con trolling leaf spot diseases of tobacco. If no control is practiced, the dis eases will do much damage. “Take good care to produce strong, viable plants, free of disease, and the problem of producing quality tobacco is about half solved,” says Mr. Floyd. According to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the average American farmer last year spent f1,600 for liv ing expenses. More than two-fifths of the food and goods used by the farmers were produced on the farms and rated in the survey at prevailing market prices. Health Resolves ! For the New Year | Drawn Up By State Board of Health—Good Resolutions For The Year. With the advent of the new year 1927,. Dr. Charles O’H. Laughing house, State Health Officer, has is sued a statement in which he calls | upon the people of North Carolina to j guard their health during the present year. Draws Resolutions Dr. Laughinghouse has prepared a set of health resolutions for ( the year 1927, and he stated that he hopes the people of the State will not break them as some are wont to do with New Year resolutions. The resolutions follow in full: “As a means of promoting health and happiness, the following New Year resolutions are advised by the State Board of Health: "Kesoivea: “I shall have a complete physical examination made by my family physician at the earliest opportunity to determine if any defects exist, which if corrected now, would pre i vent serious organic trouble in later i life. “I shall give my children protec | tion from diphtheria by having my I family physician make them im mune to this disease by administer ing toxin-antitoxin, particularly to all children from six months old to seven years. “I shall safeguard the health of my family and community from smallpox by the only known method to prevent this disease—that of vac cination. “I shall do everything possible to prevent the spread of communicable disease by not unnecessarily expos ing my children to infection from others who are victims of diseases termed ‘catching,” and by keeping them from School when suffering with suspicious colds, or running temperature that they may not be a source of infection to others. “I shall promote birth registration in my community by being certain that my children are properly regis tered with the vital statistics de partment of the State Board of Health, and by ascertaining if the physicians of my community are promptly registering all local births. “I shall insist on my family tak ing typhoid vaccine to prevent ty phoid fever. “I shall give my city and couni y health officials every assistance pos sible in making my home commun ity one of the most healthful spots in the State. “I shall drive my car in a manner that will not endanger my own life nor the lives of others.” Orthopaedic Clinic In Burlington Tomorrow The orthopaedic clinic for the free examination and treatment of in digent cripples being held under the auspices of the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs in the Parish House of the Episcopal church at Burlington will be held again on Friday, January 7th.

(adv) Apathetic voters cannot be “hur rahed” to the polls, finds the National Civic Federation, which has been for the past two years waging a deter mined drive to get the voters out to the polls regardless of political af filiation. Officials of the federation admit that their efforts to get the voters out to the 1926 election were failures. In spite of th£ vigorous campaign waged by the federation, it finds that in seven states only did the vote polled in' the 1926 election exceed that cast in 1924. In the other 41 states, of which North Carolina was one, the vote fell 7,000,000 short of that in 1924 bj? eight millions, the federation finds. The federation finds also that the larger number of those who failed to vote were young people. Cannot “Hurrah” Voters To The voting Large Sum Spent On State Roads More Than 19 Mil'ions Spent During 1925, While Upkeep Ran Over 3 Millions. While 1925 was the record-break ing year in the history of North Carolina in road construction, the amount spent for highways in' the State by the highway commission dur ing 1926 was no niggardly sum. All told, highway construction in North Carolina during 1926 aggregated $19, 033,000, as compared with $22,925, 177.09 spent for the same purpose in 1925. Upkeep of State roads during 1926 reached $3,611,187.25. During 1926 contracts were let for 454 miles of hard-surfaced road, 106 miles of sand clay, 130 miles of oil treated and 364 miles of grading. Of the $19,033,000 spent last year for road construction, the State ap propriated $9,273,000. A total of $1,699,168 was obtained from fed eral aid while loans' from • counties furnished $8,612,500 of the totali County loans totalled $369,380, while other donations amounted to $477, 280.
