Stresses Supply
Oi Pure Water
By YV. B. Gay lord, Jr.
County Sanitarian
You can't trust to luck when
it comes to a water supply. Plen
ty of pure water is not only im
portant to human beings, it
counts a lot in the care of live
stock.
A farmer who installs a water
system providing for pure water
is in much the same dilemma as
the Ancient Mariner who, you
will recall, found himself becalm
I ed 'n the middle of the ocean with
“water, water everywhere, and
not a drop to drink.” The clear
cool water of a spring is unsafe
to drink unless properly protected,
and cistern water, to be safe,
should be chlorinated.
Of course, a spring and cistern
are but two of many sources of
water, all of which should be pro
tected from contamination.
The best rule to follow in build

Uramon and Cvanamid for wood
control in plant beds for next year
should be applied during October.
The suggested rates are one pound
of Uramon and half a polind of
Cyannmid per square yard, plus
one pound of 0 18-fi or its equiva
lent. or two pounds of’4-9-3 in the
fall, or not more than one pound
of 4-9-3 at seed sowing time.
ing or changing a water supply is
to call in someone familiar with
the local luca and its water prob
lems Your sanitarian may be able
to help you and he will give ad
vice without cost. He will also
help you disinfect your well, or
other source of water, and collect
samples for analysis.
A good water supply will last
for many years. So don't make the
mistake of many farmers who
have sacrificed quality for econo
my, only to find it necessary to
replace their entire system with
in a few years.
