DUST DEALS IN DEATH
Consumption Spreads in Dusty Trades.
Government Making Study-open
Windows and Cleanliness, Cure

A warning against the dangers Of
dust was issued in statement made
today by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention OF Tuber-
culosis. in which it is shown that the
percentage Of deaths caused by tuber-
culosis in dusty trades Is more than
double that for all employed men in
the registration area OF the United
States
AS result of the dangers from con-
sumption to those exposed to various
forms of dust. and at the request of
the national association, the United
States government recently appointed
a commission to work in cooperation
with state authorities in making an
investigation into the conditions of
the metal mining industries in the
United States, with special reference
to diseases, of the lungs The work Of
the commission engaged in this special
task win follow lines somewhat similar
to those worked out by the royal COM
mission Of Australia, whose report was
recently received in this country
"Dusts are OF three kinds" says the
national association; factory, street
and house dusts." The statement re-
fers to the results obtained through
Investigations made for the bureau Of
labor, by Frederick L. Hoffman. While
among males generally in the registra-
ton area of the United States l4.2
per cent. and in hardly any of the
dusty trades is it below 25 per cent.
The percentage Of deaths from tuber-
culosis among all those exposed TO
metallic dust is S6.9 per cent; to mine
raj dust, 2s.6 per cent; to vegetable
fibre dust, 2S.s per cent; to mixed
animal and other forms of dust. 32.1
per cent; to street dust, 25.5 per cent:
and to organic. or dust coming from
the articles being manufactured. %
per cent.
The statement speaks also OF the
dangers from house dust, especially in
roms that are not well ventilated The
association warns against dry sweep
ing, and against the use OF the feather
buster or other devices that scatter.
but do not take up the dust.
Since the ordinary dust blown about
in the streets is impregnated with
disease germs, the national associa-
ton urges the adoption Of methods
that win prevent the further dissem-
ination Of such bacilli. It also urges
for the coming months of fall and
winter, more open windows and more
fresh air in house, shop and school
room.

Farmers in Western North Dakota viii
Plant Large Acreage.

Dickinson, n. D.. Aug. 1s.--condi-
tions for sowing winter rye and wheat
were never more favorable in western
North Dakota, and from indications
there will be large acreage sown the
coming month. The 2h inches of rain
fall the past two weeks has soaked the
ground to great depth. and the farm
ers are using the disc and pillow on the
land with good effect. Last year the
harvest and fall season was unusually
dry and the winter grains. sown in
September did not get a good start be-
fore winter set in. Farmers are of
the opinion that winter wheat win be
one Of the most productive crops for
this country and they are making
preparations to sow 1t as an expert
ment.

N. 0. cRop CHANGES.


The st. Paul Pioneer Press notes
the change in crop conditions In North
Dakota in the following editorial.
1t is a healthy sign that the farmers
Of northern North Dakota are engag-
ing more largely In the raising OF
winter rye In place or wholly wheat
and 1t is hoped that this breaking away
from one crop will have the effect of
opening up other lines OF endeavor on
the farms OF that part of the country
which will result in true diversified
ton or crops. II Is reported that
winter rye is finding favor In large
part on account of the fact that IL ma
lures earlier than spring wheat and
brings an income TO the grower about
Aug. instead OF late In the fall as is
the case with the other grain.
When the North Dakota farmers
come to realize that there are crops
which can be raised on their farms
which will furnish them with money
every month Of the year, as dairying,
the farms of that state will increase In
value still more rapidly and the farm
ers will be able to buy still more auto
mobiles.
The financing of a farmers opera
lions are often clouded with neglect.
II produce could be raised which will
bring in rather steady income, or at
least provide cash when now there
there is little cash, II would tend to
save money for the farmers in cutting
or interest and as well induce a more
stable financial condition Of the whole
country
