Symington, County Health Officer The most encouraging report the state Board of Health has been able j ransportaion of school children. Moore has been spending annually on con er troubles to face.

FROM EQUALIZING FUND to make in a long time is embodied in the figures concerning pellagra deaths in the month of May. This year only 48 deaths were reported for this month', which is the smallest number reported since 1925. In May 1930, 115 deaths were reported. It will thus be seen that the deaths this year for this month were only about two-fifths those occuring in 1930. The fine work done last year all throughout the state has evidently been productive for the results hoped for. With econ omic conditions jand umem,^loy!ment being much more aggravated this year than last, it is evident that the ground work done last year is now producing the desired effect.

Forty eight deaths, however, are still too many for one month and though reduced over 50 per cent it still means that at that rate there are 576 deaths in the year.

The change would en tail a heavy expense the first year, but would automatically diminish to almost nothing the second year and thereafter. It would increase the amount for capital outlay from $8,- 000.00 rural and $5,000,00 city, this county that more farms have their grain crops in good quantity and qual ity than in many a year, and that a better sentiment prevails regarding the production of these crops. Bar ley has made a good gain in popular ity with the farmers this year and seems to be a good crop that will be planted more in the days to come. Another phase of farm experience this summer is the garden. Better Kenzie, from the Carthage neighbor hood, was one of those paroled. A copy of the Governor’s reprieve reads, in part, as follows: “I am in receipt of many strong recommendation urging that executive ; clemency be extended this man at this Masonic* Lodge of Southern time.
