CAN YOU ANSWER THESE THREE ]
QUESTIONS. MK. FARMEK7 (
Only twelve Texas farmers stood on
their feet in a large gathering recent
ly when called upon to answer three
question#, as -followS4— -
Have you com in the barn of your
own raising?
Have ysu meat in the smoke house
which you raised yourself ?
Have you money in the bank you
did not borrow? I
If the same three questions should
be asked of any large gathering of
. Martin County farmers there might
not be even a doien that could answer
them affirmatively. When farmers,
learn that meat in the smokehouse is
worth more than money in the bank
they will be better off
Why should we overwork ourselves
to raise big crops of tobacco, cotton, 4
and peanuts to reduce prict* on those '
products and then have to ouy corn, ]
nest, and hay ? And yet that is what «
w» see and hear on every hand big
acres, heavy fertilising, when they
should know that big crops mean lit- I
tie prices.
STATE BOARD HEALTH TO HKLP
MARTIN COUNTY
Since nearly every child is afflicted
with some form of tonsil, tooth, eye,
or nose disease the State has found
i' to be one of its best investments to
examine all school children as often
as once each two or three years for
such diseases
'r •
They are now engaged in examin
ing all the schools in the county, both
white and colored, where each child
op to the high-school age is examined ,
entirely free and treated if necessary.
Miss Geneva Sykes, who conducted
such a work in this county three years
ago is making the examinations and
states that'there will be a free clinic
held .about the middle of M?y, "when
operations for adenoid and tonsil dis
eases will be performed and treated.
This will be entirely free, unless the
parents of the child are able to pay,
when the nominal charge of |12.50
will be made.
In the clinic held here three years
ago there were 125 operations, every
one successful
If our people cooperate as they
should the benefits to be gotten from
this service can not be counted in
dollars and cants.
Miss Sykes or Dr. W. E. Warren,
county superintendent of health, will
give all the necessary information as
to the time and place when and where
the clinic will be held.
