Baltimore County Health Report.-Dr.
James F. II. Gorsuch, general health officer for
Baltimore county, submitted his monthly re-
port to the County Commissioners on Wednes-
lay:
10 take advantage of the low water in wells and
springs to clean them out and thus guard
against typhoid fever. he futher says:
1.-THE contagious and infectious disease situa-
ton in the districts of Baltimore county shows
hat total of so cases were reported between
September 1st and Both, as against 81 cases in
August, 40 cases in July and 80 cases in June,
1908 1t will be seen that infectious and con-
tagious diseases have been on the increase, be-
cause these four months, with October added,
is the period of the year when typhoid fever
most frequently occurs.
While infectious and contagious Diseases in
GLIDING typhoid fever, haveincreased, the NOR
tality for September in the county is but 128
Deaths as against 1872 deaths in August, 1856 in
July and 164 in June.
Seventy. seven cases of typhoid fever for
September is doubtless the high-water mark for
that dread disease during the year 1908, since
reports from various districts show an abate-
ment of the disease during October. The num-
Der of fatal cases of typhoid fever during the
month in Baltimore county was four. All,
however, should be vigilant wherever case
exists to have the water and milk analysed
and if possible, trace the cause even in isolated
cases. No better time than now exists, while
The water is low and of doubtful quality, to
clean out wells and springs and thus guard
against danger when the water supply will in
crease"
The statistics for September show that there
were SO deaths from infectious diseases
typhoid n; scarlet fever IL; diphtheria g.;
spinal meningitis i. Total number of deaths
l28. Births 109-101 white and 8 colored.
Former Baltimore Countian Raises
Big Potatoes and Other Things.--The Wash
ington (Pa.) Observer of recent date saidt
Samples of potatoes grown at the Good Inten
farm near Arden were brought to Washington
yesterday and for size, general appearance and
condition they exceed anything seen in this sec
ton of the State in many day. Eleven of
these potatoes fill peck measure heaping full.
Any doubling Thomas, who is suspicious of
the story can be convinced by calling at the
editorial rooms of the Observer where the big
spuds are on exhibition.
1.-THE potatoes are of the Rural New Yorker
and Carmen varieties, which are among the
best grown in this section. D. F. Maroney, of
Bellefeld Dwellings, Pittsburg, is the owner of
the farm. The potatoes, samples of which are
on exhibition, were grown without commercial
fertilizer.
GOOD Intent farm is noted for other things
besides big potatoes. With the latest machin-
cry a field of IL acres in August last was
ploughed by boy Is years of age in 80 hours
and was seeded to clover with q wheat drill,
fertilized, narrowed and rolled in hours"
Mr.. Maroney was formerly well known
resident of Ruxton, Baltimore county.
