It is usually treat;d as typhoid fe ver or other diseases of this na ture. “The disease may be prevented by observing the following rules: (1) Don’t shoot or kill for game or use as food any sickly, puny wild animal. (2) Wear rubber gloves when handling fresh meat of any animal. (3) Wash hands with anticeptic in addition -to use of gloves. This will not prevent very many cases with out gloves, however. “Domestic animals don’t have the disease as-a rule but may be given the disease by association with wild animals or the-par asites thfemselves may come and get on the domestic animals. “There is probably no disease more contagious than this and it runs a long chronic course, may be a year or so, before the pa tient is finally cured.” O J* IT’S A BOY!

K.-SANDERS J. B. SNIPES Mr. W. D. Lee, soil conserva tionist of the State College Ex tension Service, recently made this significant statement: “By means of the soil conservation districts organized in North Caro lina, farmers are speeding up the march toward a safe and sustain ed agriculture.” Mr. Lee is coming to Person County on January 23rd to dis cuss in a series of nine meetings in different centers in the coun ty the organization of a Soil Con servation District in the Dan River Watershed. Schedule of these meetings may be found in another column of this issue. This district will be composed of the counties of Person, Caswell, Rockingham and Stokes Coun ties. The Legislature of North Caro lina has made it possible that soil conservation districts may be organized to stimulate a com bined effort of the landowners to a renewed consciousness of soil erosion prevention. This invol ves an elastic or flexible farm management plan for each co operating farm, consisting of one or more of the following practi ces: strip cropping, contour till age, reforestation, permanent pastures, crop rotation, and other practices known to be acceptable as good farm practices and soil erosion control methods. Dr. H. H. Bennett, a native North Carolinian, now Chief of the Soil Conservation Service, of the U. S. Department of Agricul ture, declares in his annual re port that the farmers of the nation are speeding up the march toward a safe and sustained agri- culture. During the past fiscal year, according to Dr. Bennett’s report, farmers in 18 of the 25 states which had enabling legis lation organized 72 soil conser vation districts, with a total area of more than 38 million acres. By the end of June, 34 of these districts had entered into co operative agreements with the Soil Conservation Service, and the farmers of 18 districts were already actively engaged in con servation work. “Formation of these districts gave new impetus to conserva tion of the nation’s soil re sources,” Dr. Bennett states. “A sense of community responsibil ity for the solution of soil-ero sion and land-use problems be gan to replace the attitude that an individual’s land is an indi vidual problem. Community act ion for land defense has gained wide support.” Soil conservation district laws enable farmers to form soil con servation districts that have the status of governmental subdi visions. The farmers who have organized a district have the authority to engage in coopera tive action to combat soil ero sion, and, if necessary, to prevent misuse of land by voting land use regulations upon themselves. The reports that farmers in conservation districts have pro vided virtually all supplies and materials required for erosion control measures, and that the contribution of the spil conser vation service has been limited generally to technical service for planning and to types of labor and equipment not normally a vailable on the farms within the districts. Mr. W. D. Lee, Soil Conserva tionist of the Extension Divison, has been working with the farm ers in Rockingham, Stokes and Caswell Counties since Jan. 1, 1939, and will spend January 23- 27th, in Person County explain ing the proposed set-up of the district to Person County farm ers. o MOONEY FREED; LEADS PARADE San Francisco, Cal.—Pardoned by Governor Olson after 22 years in prison for alleged participa tion in bombing a Preparedness Day parade in 1916, killing 10 persons and injuring 40, Tom Mooney, Labor agitator, headed a parade held in celebration of his freedom.
