HEALTH REPORT FOR
COUNTY LAST MONTH

DR.. J. e. King. the health officer OF
Wayne County, this morning issued
shis report for the month of August,
1911. His records. though not startling,
Iare fully as good as could be expected
during the hot season. The city Of
iRichmond shows a higher mortality
rate a. compared with the birth rate,
than does the rest Of the county.
During the month. total of seventy
,olrths were recorded in Wayne Coun.
lty. OF these. thirty-six were males and
thirty-four females. Forty.two of the
births occurred in Richmond. and
'twenty.eight in the surrounding dis
tricts. There were thirty-nine deaths
reported In August The number of
these taking place within the corpor-
ate limits Of this city, was just double
the number in the rest Of the county.
Twenty-one males died, and eighteen
females.
The hrst case Of typhoid fever for
the present month was reported this
morning to City Health Officer Davis.
DR.. Davis IL a little uneasy about any
new cases developing now. as this is
just the time Of year for the annual
epidemic. The patient who has con-
tracted the disease lives at the Cole.

Rain IS A BENEFIT
In the Planting of the Win
ter Wheat Crop.

This rain will do us a world of
good" said one of the farmers of
Wayne county when he awoke early
this morning and saw the water pour
ing down on his dry fields. His opin-
ion seems to be shared by all the
farmers in this district, and there was
hardly one of them who was not un-
usually optimistic today. 1t was for
t"1ate that the rain did not come a
holiday, but the farmers agree that
they could have ill afforded to have
gone much longer without water.
In every corner of the county the
rain did good in preparing the ground
for the sowing of the new wheat crop,
which will take place in a short time.
The land will be in fine shape to start
the crop, and this condition at the
beginning will 60 far toward making
Ia good harvest.
Several farmers report that the rain
will be of greatest benefit to the late
crops, which have just recently been
planted. The alfalfa that was put in
the ground week or two ago, ap-
pears already to show the good effect
of the rain. The late corn, COW peas,
beans, and similar crops will be much
helped by the downpour.
On the whole, the situation is Won
derfully bright just now. Not much
harvesting is going on, as only a small
quantity of corn remains in the fields,
but farmers feel that they are getting
fully as good returns this year as they
could wish.
