DOCTORS WANTED.
This year it will pay you to begin
this fight early and try to prevent
them from making a start. In prac
tically every case I was called to in
vestigate last year I found the source
from which they had come. In most
cases it proved to be the well known
poke weed, or some times called poke
berry bushes. The presence of the
pest is first revealed by the appear
ance on the upper surface of the leaf
of a blood red spot. As leaves be
come more infected they redden or
turn rusty yellow over the entire sur
face, become folded, then turn brown
and finally dry up and fall off. The
bottom leaves are usually attacked
first, but infestation spreads upward
until often only the bare stalk re
mains. Such plants usually die.
An urgent need of physicians is
said to exist in dozens of rural com
munities in Maine, where the situa
tion has become so serious that a law
was enacted in 1925 authorizing towns
to subsidize doctors with public funds
where necessary.

The construction of the new road
from Pinehurst to Southern Pines
will be included in the contracts to
be awarded by the State Highway
Commission May 1. The type of road
will he gravel and tar, with a gravel
top, and will be a satisfactory and
durable highway. The extraordinary
activity in development along the
Midland road makes the new construc
tion of more than ordinary interest
at the present time, and Its awarding
will be heard with satisfaction.
