Harris, landscape specialist of the State College Extension Ser vice. Select the mixture for your lo cal conditions and buy the seed sep arate/ mixing them yourself, he ad vises. If the seed bed is poor and espec ially if it is lacking in humus, a crop of peas or beans should be grown and turned under to improve the fertility and texture of the soil. Unless the soil is very fertile, a one or two-inch layer of well-rotted manure should be worked into the soil. To stimulate quick growth some- commercial fertilizer such as 6-8-6 can be added. The soil should be allowed to settle and only the NIGHT BALL s Coastal Plain baseball clubs are considering turning on the lights this coming season, unof ficial reports stating that possi bly more than half the clubs in the circuit will install equip ment for night ball. Completing a big new stadium, Greenville is said to be making plans for a lighted park. It is fairly certain that Wil liamston will continue to de pend upon ole Sol for Its light. Slight Decrease in Number of Births in This State Last Year Death Rate Also Shows a Slight Deerease For Period The total number of births in North Carolina during 1938 was 80, 603, as compared with 80,644 in 1937 a decrease of 41, while deaths in 1938 numbered 33,765, which was a de crease of 335 under the preceding year, figures just released by the State Board of Health's Division of Vital Statistics, of which Dr R T. Stimpson is the director, reveal. Of the 335 drop in the total number of deaths, 204 are accounted for in the decreased number of persons meet ing death by accidents, it was point ed out. Deaths from what are term ed preventable accidents in 1938 to taled 1,429, as compared with 1,633 in 1937 "I am highly gratified," comment ed Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, State Health Officer, "at the fact that North Carolina's death rate drop ped from 9.8 in 1937 to 9.6 last year, which was considerably under the national death rate of 11.2, accord ing to the latest available federal figures, while our birth rate?228 in 1938?was noticeably in excess of the national rate of 17.0. Our deatli rate has dropped from 10 3 to 9 6 in the past biennium. Our birth rate was 22 1 in 1936, 23 1 in 1937 and 22 8 last year, which shows that while we are achieving steady de creases in the number of deaths, we are holding our own in the num bc.r of births. North Carolina, at least, is not helping to make of the South 'Economic Problem No. 1' In the matter of its fine showing in vi tal statistics." Births in 1938, it is shown in Dr. Stimpsons' figures, exceeded deaths by 46,838 "But there are always those things which place a fly AT the ointment," said Dr. Reynolds. "During 1938, there were 180 deaths from diph theria, which could have been pre vented, an increase of 14 over the 1937 total of 166. There is, disburse, but one sure way of stamping out diphtheria, and that is by requiring parents to give their children that -sure protection whch is provided by "Irtoculation during the first year of their existence. "1 regret also to note the increase j in the number of deaths from pneu monia last year," Dr. Reynolds con tinued. "The 1938 total was 2,739, as compared with 2,653, an increase of 186. Science now has provided a cure, which is effective in at least fifty per cent of the cases, for cer tain types of pneumonia, provided the disease is typed in time and the proper serum administered. At least half the deaths that occur in North Carolina from this disease every year could be prevented at a cost to the State of about $33.33 apiece, pro vided we were enabled to make this scrum in our Laboratory of Hygiene. This is one of the objectives I have in mind," the State Health Officer declared. . top layer pulvarized for sowing the seed. Hai i is recommends that the seed be sown at the rale of three to five pounds per 1,000 square feet, or about 130 pounds per acre. Half of the seed should be sown in one di rection and half in the other to as sure a uniform distribution. The quickest and most economi cal way to start Bermuda (wire grass) is by its roots. Scatter these roots over the lawn and cover them with soil. It is advisable to sow Ital ian rye grass with the Bermuda roots to provide a quick lawn and hold the soil until the Bermuda gets started. While September and October are the best months for sowing grass seed, the lawns can be started in the spring, especially in the moun tain sections. "Too few people realize that in jrder to keep a good turf, especially where there are trees, one must fer tilize annually," Harris says. "Dur ng winter or early spring of each rear give the lawn an application >f 300 to 400 pounds per acre (8 to 0 pounds per 1,00 square feet) of a i-8-4 In the Coastal Plain and 4-10-4 n the Piedmont and Mountains." Way Ask County To foin The Albemarle ]ivie Organizationi -?*? Matter Will Be Considered! At Next Meeting This Summer A movement is now on foot to nvite Martin and Beaufort Coun ies to become members of the Southern Albemarle Association, eading civic organization of that ection, it was announced by C. W ratem, of Columbia last week-end. Martin County, according to Mr. ratem, should become a member, as he territory covered by it was in he original Southern Albemarle ection, while Beaufort's interest vould lie in the fact that it is close y associated with the charter mem >er counties, Hyde, Dare, Tyrrell ?nd Washington. If these two counties were admit ed, such action would bring togeth er for the common interest of the section, six counties with a total population of 94,000, divided as fol lows: Beaufort, 35.000; Martin. 25. 000; Washington, 12,000; Hyde, 9, 300; Tyrrell, 7,000; and Dare, 6,000. Congressman Lindsay Warren suggested Beaufort's entrance, and others have suggested that Martin become a member. They have many interests in common with the origi nal members of the organization and their addition would greatly strengthen the assocation in its ef forts to advertise and assist in the development of the whole section by cooperative action. Mr Tatem said he had talked with State Department of Agricul ture officials, and they are in fa vor of the union constituting one of the zones which they are now ar ranging in their program of section al development. The proposal to add these coun ties will likely be brought up at the next meeting of the association, to be held in Dare some time this sum mer. Still Coughing?
