Col. John :. Cunningham. president
of the North Carolina Farmers Pro

yesterday. He has just returned from
the western section or the State, where
he delivered several agricultural adj
dresses. He stated that the farmers
are paying more attention to diversity
ing their crops and growing their
home supplies thar ever before. IN
relating the conditions owe the State
as he found them, Col. Cunningham
said:
THE cotton and tobacco farmers
realize that it is to their advantage TO
grow their home supplies, and that
when they do this they can raise cot
ton and tobacco at a reasonable profit.
The tobacco farmer is fast waking up
to the fact thai he al and must
price his own tobacco, for if he does
not he is entirely at the mercy Of the
great trust. The ratsers Of tobacco
will soon appreciate the fact hat they
are in q position to price their pro-
duct at a profit. and | believe that next

will be fixed and maintained. The min
imum price in North Carolina should
be Il II cents per pound. 70 grow

accept less than this amount for
it. as prices for everything else arc
exceedingly high.

With typhoid raging In Eugene,
examination of water in the bacterio-
logical department at the Agricultu-
raj college is frequent now.
Prof. Pernot Is kept almost con-
stantly busy with experiments bearing
on water and germs. Water from
Eugene has been examined with the
result announced below. After what
he has found in water tested, Prof
Pernot is dreadfully in earnest in urg-
ing everybody for the present to use
only boiled water and to scald milk
and other utensils.
Not only should city water be
boiled, but so should well water, as is
shown by the statement below. made
| by request of the Times, by Prof
Pernot He said:
Boiled water is in use In many
households, and there are those who
do not like it. Buttermilk may be
substituted, for typhoid fever germs
cannot exist in the presence of Tactic
ACID. Nor can they live in butter or
cheese, for both contain Tactic acid.
Lemonade is also available for drink
ing purposes. Lemon or lime Juice
has been demonstrated to be fatal to
typhoid bacilli. a solution of one
| part lemon juice to so parts water
is an entirely safe as we'll as a whole
some beverage.
I'm the foods, all those cooked can
be eaten without fear A boiling
temperature, 212 degrees, is fatal to
bacilli. The danger is in raw foods
like apples, lettuce, celery and kim
| dred species. Lettuce served with
vinegar is immune because of the
acetic acid in the salad dressing.
Cooking utensils, more especially
milk utensils, should be thoroughly
scalded with boiling water or steam
and should not be allowed to come in
contact subsequently with unboiled
water. This is especially important,
as milk is one of the best possible
mediums for growth of the typhoid
germs. 1t is better as a matter of
fact to heat all milk nearly to the
boiling point before use.
Some think that wells cannot be
contaminated. The water from one
where a typhoid fever case developed
was analyzed at the college and 5000
germs to the cubic centimeter were
found. Three thousand germs to the
cubic centimeter would mean 1900
germs in every teaspoonful of water.
1t was a 40-foot WELL and driven,
which might have been supposed
would be beyond the reach of germs.
Water from a similar we'll several
hundred yards distant and of the
same depth was examined and found
to present the same conditions. The
fever case undoubtedly came from
the we'll water referred to.
Recently water from a well in the
vicinity of Lebanon was examined and
found to contain $4,000 germs to the
cubic centimeter. II is needless to
say that the members of the family
had been suffering for long time
with sickness, and that the water
from the we'll was the source of all
the trouble
The recent examination of Eugene
water by Prof. Pernot showed bac-
terial content of 3640 germs per
cubic centimeter.

mends.

| mends.
The ways and means committee Of
the Umatilla County Sunday School
association reported as follows at the
recent Athena conventions:
Whereas, we recognize in the Sun
day school one of the most important
departments of Christian work, there
fore we recommend;
First-That more and more our Of
ficers and teachers seek to make il
vital center of evangelistic activity,
and that after the young have been
won to Christ that wise and helpful
Nurture be given to them that they
may grow up into Christian men and
women.
second-That as "a help to this end
we urge upon our county officers the
holding of district conventions as
planned by our organization that
every possible help be given to all
the Sunday schools of the county.
Third--That we believe the adop-
ton of the home department" and
the cradle rolf will greatly extend
the usefulness of our Sunday school
in all parts Of the county, and we urge
this upon ALL
Fourth-That in a wisely planned
Use of decision day there Is an on
portunity to focus the thought and
prayers of officers, teachers and the
church upon the conversion of our
young people; but we earnestly urge
that decision day shall always be
recognized as a means to an end. and
that those who on that day accent
Jesus as their savior shall receive the
especial care of all the church that
the new life then begun may grow as
the child Jesus grew, waxing strong
In spirit, filled with wisdom, and the
grace of God was upon Him"
Fffth-That we recommend to
every Sunday school the organization
Of teacher training classes, made up
or the young men and young women
Of our schools, and that these be
placed under the care Of our most
consecrated and best teachers. that
we may prepare a body of qualified |
.eachers.
Sixth-Believlng as we do that Or
,gon Is on the eve Of period Of great
growth and development, we COM
mend the wisdom Of the State Sunday
school association in planning at this
line an advance movement in the
sunday school work Of the state, and
