Not-many people have ever heard < f the Piedmont. They don't know that throughout the southeastern states this area between the mountains and the coastal plain marks the bpuir'Jary between enterprise and sloth. Both black and white juat sit on squaiid porches and talk. Nowhere Is one so reminded of this ', as at Apalachicola. It Is a small town on the banks of a river, both named from the Indians who once lived there. Today ..the village seems asleep.

Slowly the red river flows past th'eni. almost as stagnant as the mental outJ look of the people. It has risen hunI dreds of miles northward, flowed through prosperous cotton farms and thriving industrial cities. But < the blight of the coastal plain seems to be reflected in the slow meandering' of the stream, just as It certainly is in the people. That blight Is malaria. The fliseafp i* thn .?V vuiou ui IUC South, especially along rivers like the Apalachicola. which 1n spring freshets flood thousands of acres of flat land. Mosquitoes and malaria are inevitable, and figures -issued by the Florida Slate Board of Health show that this corner of the state is one of the worst in America. Quinine, of course, would control ' this condition, but not enough people know it. know the correct dosage, nor that it is, a cheap and safe remedy for this plague. And some are too poor to buy the little that <? needed, which seems tragic considering how little It is. Malaria experts have many times pointed out that 20 grains of quinine ! per day for 5-7 days is all that is needed. The total requirements of Apalachicola would not amdunt to a fraction of what is lost annually both here and throughout the South because malaria saps ambition and kills initiative. w Amerka's Most Popular I 5g[ Console Radio! . |W\, ... i Small Down Payment Balance Easy Payments m m Glorious N?

There has beeu little written about one of the ! hardest, most important, and most ' fascinating jobs in this defense efforts of ours. 0* | Few words of praise have been said of the task of clothing and ' feeding the men. furnishing transi imitation, gasoline, and routings for ! the army?-the "house-keeping" of our all-out effort. This job is that of the Quarter; master Corps,of the Army. I . In the current maneuvers in Louis iana bttween the Second and Third i Armies, the Quartermaster of the i Fourth Corps Area has the gigantic j duty of supplying the 303.000 men of the Third Army with subsistence, t clothing, and the gasoline needed < for a mechanized Army, j. The amounts of food that will he consumed in these maneuvers is ; stupendous. Rnough coffee will be > drunk to float a 20,000 ton ship.

Quantities of some of the items of food to he consumed by the Third Army on maneuver are astronomli cal: COLLARS RICH IN VITAMINS ! Because weather conditions have j barred a plentiful supply of winter j legume seed this year, it is neefcs1 sary to make available supplies go as far us possible, says E. C. Blair, 1 extension agronomist of N. C. State College.

United States could sit down and make u meal of what the men ki file Third Army will consume in the six ty days of the maneuvers. The Job done by tlm Qpuavtermaster -is the closest and at the same time the least conspicuous to the .average soldier. As one old-timer aptly .put it: "Within three hours after a recruit is sworn in, the Quartermaster provides his first meal; -within (en hours, his first army bed; with,in 24 hours, his first transportation; and with! * three days, his first uniform. Tht renfter. wherever he serves. from the fogs of Newfoundland to Zambcanga's vales, the Quartermaster meets his every demand. When his left sleeve is like a barber pole with ten enlistment stripes wcr> tinder sun and winter blasts and be turns from is last parade to retirement, the Quartermaster moves his Tamily home. After the grayheaded citizen soldier has answered his last roll call, the Quartermas ter provides a military funeral w'th burial In a national cemetery. a soldier's headstone, and keeps his _ ..wave green forever after." With the enormity of the task the Quartermaster will do in the 'coming maneuvers let's not forget. when the story of the maneuvers is being told, that the backbone of the Ar my is the Quartermaster Corps Without food a soldier can't figh! and without gasoline a tank can'I rttn. The man who does these jobf is the Quartermaster. I ctcnt superphosphate and 50 poundt j of muriate "of potash per acre. Thit j, will cause the winter legume t< j make a much better growth ami will. In turn, bring about a bettei yield of the following crop. One of the best ways of conserving seed, the State College specialist explained. Is through the use ol I a grsTll drill. Fifteen pounds ol hairy vetch and 20 pounds of Aus trian winter peas per acre will sufi flee where the seed are planted with drills. Crimson clover will ' give excellent results at 15 poundt per acre if the drill Is equipped with a special attachment. i f Oh,Oh! 'SVrongWay!
