, I. THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. C., FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 13, 1953. PAGE SEVEN I reckon the Irish potato boya have bad about as many ops and down at , any of us, but like they always say, , you can't keep : a good man down. I see by the papers where these fel lers plan to step up their crop acre age a little bit this year. . If I remember night I think thig C?pp Repoitin Service said they tig- " gered they'd be about 18,500 acres of spuds planted in the state this year. If that's right, that'll be about . 1,500 acres more than they planted the year before but it'll still be a whale of a lot less than they planted in years past One year a little while back, i Aeiieve tney had around 35,000 acres.' .,- I'd Jest finished readin about this jn. Jhe paper when I turned on the radio to' git the news report and blamed if they weren't a talldn about the same thing on the radio. This news announcer had this feller Gil bert Clark Erom the State Agricul ture Department up there a talkin to him and I mean he was a (poppin mm one question right after the oth er. I believe he said (Mr. Clark was in charge of fruit and vegetable mar- K&tin for the department of Agri . .culture. Judgin from what this feller Clark said, I take it that things don't look too bad for the potato growers this year. He said the late producin states, like Maine and New York, had sort of a short crop this year which would put our fellers here in the early producin area in a little better position. . v ' , I guess they're gittm all set to go - righfc along with their plantin pretty soon now. He said seed potatoes was already a comin in, in Elizabetti City and Columbia sections, but he figgered it'd be around the end of this month before many seed potatoes would be gin showing up in any volume in the other early areas of the eastern belt it 1 ain't mistaken, he said them seed potatoes was probably gonna sell for about seven dollars a hundred. I thought that sounded a little high, but he went on to say that that's what the growers paid for them last year. Course they can't expect to produce a good crop if they don't git good seed and they cant expect to git it for nothin. - : : .,:. ' I was hopin the announcer would ask Mr. Clark what he figgered was causin the growers to plant more po tatoes .this year and he filled the bill by askin him in jest about the same words. He said the price, probably had about as much to do with it as anything. Course, ain't that reason able to expect? But they was some more things entered into it too. I didn't know if but I learned from what he said that they ain't no more ceiling or support prices on potatoes. All of this along with the short crop of old potatoes at our marketing time last year helped to bring prices up to a pretty good level. 1 guess them growers sorta studied the situation in their own minds and figgered that since these late pro ducing states had a short crop they could sorta expect to move theirs with out much trouble this year. They're already shippin some new potatoes out of the lower section of Florida, accordin to what Mr. Clark said. He told how much they was a gittin for them now, but I don't remember the figger. I do remember him a sayin that it was a right good price. And he went on to say that he didn't expect to see much price change before they go to shippin pretty heavy out of the northern part of Florida and in Alabama. This is supposed to come about sometime around the first of May. Our farm ers usually start diggin and shippin around the: first of June, so maybe the price wiU.be all right when they go to movin- their crop. Least ways I hope so. then apply a drop of tuberculin, and allow it to remain for 10 minutes to dry. . From the third to the' fifth day, the arm ait the site of the vac cination will look puXfled and red, if the person has the bacteria of tuber culosis in his system. He may not have developed the disease yet, but his reaction to the tuberculin shows that he should be. X-rayed to find out if his lungs have been attacked; if so, to what extent If the X-ray shows that Who lungs are diseased then the physician makes a thorough physical examination and determines on the best form of treatment . '.' You can readily see that, if your boy or girl has tuberculosis in an in cipient stage, and it is discovered be fore its ravages have undermined his constitution, that he has nine chances out of ten to make a perfect recov ery. If on the other hand, the. in sidious disease goes on unchecked, you may some day have a very rude awakening, when you discover that your child has an advanced type of tuberculosis, and that all that you can do is to smooth his pathway to an untimely grave. The tuberculin test should be ap plied to every child entering school. Looking at it merely from the stand point of economy, would it not be cheaper to treat one in whom the di sease is just developing than in fur nishing care and hospitalization to an advanced, case, who may remain for years as a ward of the state or a de- Ipendent upon relatives, who are sub- A -1.

If the school child has unsuspect ed tuberculosis, and no precautions are taken he contaminates not only bis family but other youner neonle with whom he associates. The writ er recalls several young college girls wno Broke down with tuberculosis, which they had acquired from their roommates who were suffering undi agnosed tuberculosis. : ' Spend less than you earn and you can have social security of your own.

Health 2nd Beauty By Dr. Sophia Branson Tubercular Tests AThe prevalence of tuberculosis among children is a very grave mat ter 'and should cause us to be more diligent in getting an early diagnosis. Much suffering 'and many deaths could be avoided by the early discov ery and treatment of this disease. ; We have a very simple, harmless and effective method of finding out whether people are harboring the germs of tuberculosis within their bodies ore not. This is known as the tuberculin test. : There are two methods of making this tesit: in one you use the hypo dermic,' and., inject the vaccine, and in the other you merely scarify the skin, About Your Home By FRANCES BELL Kitchen specialists -favor a U-shape or 'an L-ehape arrangement for the greatest conveniences in a kitchen. , (The U-shape is the most compact.
