PAGE FOUR NUMBER FOREST FIRES INCREASING Fir* Near Hexakaa Burma Over 250 Acre; Mack Valuable Tiaber Mag Defrayed District Forester L. A. Carter stated yesterday that the present time is the busiest season of the year for rain brings relief within a short time there will be a tremendous loss from this source in Bertie County. A big fire was reported in the Hex alena section, near Connaritsa, last Sunday. The Forester stated that at least 250 acres had been burned over and that much valuable timber had been destroyed. There heve been a number of smaller blazes in various parts of the county and more are ex pected unless conditions improve. Mr. Carter said that the majority of the fires were started by carelessness, cigarettes and the burning of brush piles being the principal causes. Besides the damage done to timber by fires at this time, Mr. Carter stat ed that small game also suffered very greatly as a result of the destruction of cover, and the fertility of the soil of burned-over lands is lessened to a large extent. He urges that every precaution be taken at this time him. Due to the extreme dryness ot underbrush in the woods, many forest fires arc being reported, and unless to guard against starting conflagra tions. HAVE YOUR HOME SCREENED ECONOMICALLY!

Roebuck 'COLORED WOMAN IS 119 WARS OLD Tells Ccmm Enumerator She Can Re . member Happenings Long Before Civil War ♦ Paobably the oldest woman in Ber tie County, if not in the entire State, 'is Jahe Harmon, colored, who lives 'near Dempsey's Filling Station on the ' Windsor-Aulander highway, according Ito H. Gil lam Parker, one of the Ber ,tie County census enumerators, who ran across her Monday while taking 'the census in that section. She claims jto be 119 years old, and neighbors agree that she must be around that age, and says that she can remember happenings that occurred long before I the civil war. "Aunt Jane," as she jis known, enjoys fairly good health, !although bothered some by rheuma tism. She is almost totally blind, but otherwise has full possession of her faculties, and Mr. Parker said that (she could carry on an interesting con versation, having an unusually cheer ful disposition. I She told of seeing a battle between two gunboats on the Chowan River during the Civil War, stating that she was' then a grown woman and was working in a field along the river banks. She has outlived all her own children, but has a number of grand children, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren living now. "Aunt Jane" is an inveterate user of snuff, but states that she does not have u greut amount of faith in med icines, and she is looking forward to ~m„ilV TllfflTF years upon Offs* earl : Bertie News-leader CONDUCTING SONG SERVICE FOR GATESVILLE REVIVAL Mr. I F.

R. Beattie, extension horticulturist of the United States Department of Agriculture, because many farmers do not have the oppor tunity to purchase the fruita and veg etables and the family goes without. | If every cotton farmer will set a 'side enough of his cotton land to sup ply his family with garden rtfgtahln, he will add to his net income and im ! prove the diet of his family, Mr. Beat 'tie says. The products of the vege table garden are just as definite in come as though the actual cash were [received for cotton or other crops grown on the land and the money ap plied to the family living. Further more, the quality of the home-grown products is frequently higher than that of those obtained on the market. It is important to get the garden started early, Mr. Beattie says, and it is equally important to keep the gar den thoroughly occupied throughout the summer. So many cotton farmers plant a garden in the spring and aft er the early crops have gone the gar den grows weeds until fall, then, per haps, some late fall crops are planted. There is absolutely no excuse for al lowing the garden to run to weeds during the summer, because there are several crops that can be kept grow ing throughout the heated period. A mong these are okra, corn, sweet po tatoes, squashe*, watermelons, musk melons, swiss chard, Kentucky Won der beans, and New Zealand spinach. As autumn approaches, late plantings of cabbage, kale, lettuce, spinach, peas beets, turnips, and carrots should be. rhade. Weeds are bound to grow, espec ially during spells of rainy weather, and it means some work to keep the garden clean, but a clean garden is the only one that will produce its whole share of vegetables for the ta ble. If every cotton farmer will see that his family is well supplied the com ing season with fruits, vegetables, pork, poultry, and dairy products, all produced on his own farm, there will be less occasion for complaint regard ing conditions of cotton farms at the end of the season, Mr. Beattie con cludes. REMEDY FOR COCCIDIOSIS IN YOUNG CHICKS Several farmers have reported that they were losing their three to eight week old chicks recently. The dis ease is peculiar in that it affects chicks at this age, after the danger from baciliary is past. Unless con trol measures are used, heavy losses may result. The remedy being used is to separate the sick chicks from the well, clean droppings every day and use one-third teaspoonful each of crude cateche and potassium permang anate to the gallon of drinking wa ter. Sour milk should also be kept before the chicks to drink. Give plen ty of sunlight and green feed. Each farmer using this remedy has report ed effective results. Young chicks should always be raised on new soil. ♦ LAWN FERTILIZER 1 Fir many years bone meal has been used quite extensively as a fer tilizer for established lawns, but ex periments conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture have shown thae a mixture of three parts of cottonseed meal and one part of ammonium sulphate gives much better results. This fertilizer should be applied in the Hpring and early fall at the rate of 12 to 15 pounds for 1,000 squbre feet.

Typhoid Fever is gradually being reduced, but there must be no let-up in vaccination. Now is the time to protect yourself against it. The season is at hand. Take the treatment every third year. Diphtheria can be prevented by taking Toxin-Antitoxin. Have your children immunized a gainst it. It takes about five months to get the protection, so now is the time to take the treat ment to be protected this fall. *' - * There is no excuse for even a case of typhoid fever when perfect immunization for two years at a time may be obtained through attendance at the clinics held the month of June. It is the duty of every intelligent citizen to become inoculated towards all preventable diseases, specially ty phoid fever for their own protection as well as the protection of their neighbors. It is also their duty to do all in their power to persuade others to take preventive measures. Typhoid fever being frequently fatal, is a useless economic waste, as it is so easily preventable.
