Prior to that date a total of
$29,000 in orders for the materials

the start of the year.
McAdams said Monday that

W. B. Coleman, Hillsboro:

Urges Shots
For Children
Miss Elizabeth {Robertson, nurse
in charge of the Hillsboro office
of the district he alth department,
this week issuec a reminder to
parents of children entering
school for the first time ip Sep
tember to make certain they are
vaccinated.
Following is the announce
from Miss Robertson:
Even though this is the season
for enjoying vacations, we must
not forget that school will be
opening early ’fti* September. I
would like to remind all the par
ents who have children enteriiig
school for the first time to get
their immunizations completed
before they go to school.
The North Carolina state law
requires that every child have
protection against whooping
cough, smallpox and diphtheria
before he enters school.
The diphtheria vaccine is given
in two doses a month apart. The
whooping cough vaccine is given
in four doses a week apart. In
case a child has had neither of the
two above (whooping cough vz
diphtheria), there is a vaccine
which can be given combined for
whooping cough and diphtheria
in three doses—the second dose is
given a week after the first and
the third dose a month later.
In the case of the children whc
have had all their immunizations
from their private physician, it is
important for them to take a com
plete record to their teacher
when entering school.
Please try to attend to this mat
ter before the opening of school.
For anyone who wishes to come
to the Health Department office
in Hillsboro for immunizations,
the hours are:
Friday p. m.—1:00 to 4:30.
Saturday a. m.—9:00 to 12:00.

Falling Tree
Kills Cow
Near Calvander
Carrboro— Electric linemen,
cutting a tree at Calvander
near the home of Mrs. Nellie
Hutchens, accidentally killed
Mrs. Hutchens’ fine milch cow
last week.
The tree in falling must have
killed the cow instantly, for the
paen working did not hear the
cow or know that she was
nearby. Neither did Mrs.
Hutchens realize that the cow
wa» dead until she went out to
do the night’s milking.
After calling in vain for the
cow, Mrs. Hutchens went on a
search and found her. Her legs
and neck were broken and her
horns broken off.
No one at any time, accord
ing to the reports, heard any
sound to indicate the cow was
hurt or in pain.
The reports further stated
that the electric company would
pay Mrs. Hutchens the value of
the cow.
John Brown of the Walnut
Grove community, according to
Don S. Matheson, county farm
agent, is among the'first lu
county to get a bam cured out.
He attributes his early start to
his success in controlling blue
mold on his plants,
NEW BARNS
In making plans for curing out
this -year’s crop, farmers in all
sections of the county have in
stalled more new types of heat
ing systems thari at any time
since the war, Matheson said.
Alvin Hawkins of the Walnut
Grove community has recently
completed one of the most fire
proof barns possible. This 20’ X 22’
barn has concrete sidewalls six
feet high. The Remainder is
frame with aluminum sheeting.
The barn is fired with an auto
matic coal stoker and will hold
1,100 sticks of tied tobacco. Am
ple sheds are provided on three
sides for work space.
j In the same community a
number of other coal stokers are
being installed.
|__
Josh Parker is installing four
and John Hawkins and Weldon
Berry are putting in one each. A
large number of oil burners have
also been installed in all parts of
the county.
CROP PREDICTIONS
As curing started in all parts
of the county, the federal state
crop reporting service in the State
Department of Agriculture esti
mated yin releasing its first pro
| ductionvforeoasf of the 1947 crop
that the flue-cured tobacco in
North Carolina would decline
47,985,000 pounds from its all
time record production of 1946
[ when 912,970,000 pounds of to
I bacco was produced. The drop
in the number of pounds of pro
duction represents a decrease of
five per cent.
This forecast, of course, is based
upon conditions as of July,! and
is subject to change each month
until the crop is sold, depending,
naturally, upon weather condi
tions and the development of the
crop.^ /
The late, dry spring, the report
point's out, caused delay in get
ting the crop to" the fields and
most*""fields show an “uneven
growth. The crop, however,'the
report continues, has made much
progress in recetn weeks.
