American Indian mothers told their emil

WANTS SUMTER NEGRO
TO TALK OF CROPS
Invitation Extended to Local Negro
Cotton Grower.


An invitation has been extended
through Captain John A. Goob to John
Crawford, the Sumter county negro who
recently brought As bales Of cotton to
Americas at one time, to make visit
to the Georgia Industrial College, a
negro school at Thundrebolt, near sa'
vannah, to tell the students how cotton
is grown 50 successfully by him here
in Sumter county.
Speaking Of the fact that he had mo-
tilted Crawford Of the invitation, Cap
tain Cobb said that he had no idea that
Crawford would accept the invitation,
as he il an old man, probably SO or 65
years old, one Of the Old-fashioned dar-
kies who talk little but do mnch, Il is
very likely, however, that Crawford 2
son, who il graduate Of Tuskegee In
stitute, may make the trip to Savannah
and tell the students Of the school there
how cotton is grown in Sumter with 50
great success.
AS has been mentioned before, craw
ford is one Of the best negro farmer
IN Sumter county He owns very val
liable lands in the county, and ubusua
success has attended his forts IN al
agricultural way. He il Hsw hauling
cotton seed to town almost daily, show
ing the fact that he has abundant re
sources on his farm, the results Of dil

! To determine the factors responsible
for the spread Of typhoid fever, it il
highly important to determine how
long the typhoid germ can live under
natural conditions. In recent years a
number Of Investigators working under
different conditions, have recovered this
organism from previously contaminated
soil after varying periods up to fifty
days, and MAR regained the organism
after eightyfour days from soil in
closed by glass and moisture added.
Since the longevity Of the typhoid bac-
illus in unsterilized water ranges from
seven to thirty days, it would seem
chat the soil might serve as reservoir
If infection to the stream which drains
4.
The latest work on this subject IS re-
ported BY Creel, who conducted expert
ments both within doors and in the
open air with exposure to rain and sun
light. The typhoid organism was ear
ried up from the soil by the growing
plants, and on repeated examination
the organisms were recovered from the
leaves and stems up to thirty-one days.
A leaf Of lettuce from an infected bed
yielded positive cultures after three
washings, thus indicating that rainfall

These results have practical
significance in view Of the insanitary
conditions on many farms. The demand
For fresh vegetables being so great and |
The means of transportation so rapid,
vegetables grown in one section may be
shipped great distances and used by
arge numbers Of persons. There is
LANCER of the transmission Of typhoid
ever by this means. The Journal Of
he American Medical Association
kinks that the inspection Of truck
arms would be advisable, and permits

VEGETABLES AS AFAcToR IN THE
sPRREAn OF TYPHOID.

The possibility Of the conveyance Of
typhoid germs by means Of vegetables
and fruits has long been supected, and
as result Of studies in recent years,
evidence has been collected that such
foodstutfs play an important part in the
transmission Of typhoid infection. Ty-
phoid fever is rural disease; typhoid
fever patients are frequently found on
farms where green vegetables are cul-
tivated for market; and, in some 10
calities at least, the practice is preva-
lent Of using human excreta as ferti-
hzer to force the growth of vegetables
that are intended to be eaten raw.
