Dear Doctor: l am in receipt Of
your communication of Dec. 18th. l
appreciate your frank reply to my
communication. Relative to the idea
that it takes part Of your professional
rights, will say, that the educating
of the people to have themselves ex-
amined and treated for intestinal
parasites, while it helps directly the
people, it aids the physicians in that
locality. The enclosed letter gives
you a clear cut idea of what a doc
tor thinks about it. Our men make
it their business to upbuild confidence
Of the people in your local profess
sion, nor to tear it down.
AS far as putting new tax on the
people is concerned, I have only this
to say; if by this work of progress,
we can save life in your county and
make more efficient one hundred peo-
pie in your county, we have added
much to it's wealth. My idea is to
fight taxes which do not add to the
wealth, happiness and health and to
not fight those things centered on
basic principles. We found that your
county has a hook-Worm Infection of
the rural school children of Alb per
cent. It has been we'll estimated
that a child infected, loses from 20
to 80 per cent of educational ad-
vantages offered Therefore you are
losing thousands Of dollars every
year of money spent for educational
purposes in Milton County.
The doctors Of county cannot go
out and advertise and hunt up cases
for practice. The people will not
stand for it, neither will the doc
tors, but we can and at the some
time, our men are trained to make
friends Of the people for the doc
tors.
Under the ruling Of the Georgia
State Board of Health it is neces-
sary for me to have your consent to
carry on this work in Milton County,
or the consent of the executive COM
mittee of the State Board and the
representative of your district in the
State Board to override your objec-
ton. The matter, of corse, has been
taken up with these gentlemen of
the State Board and a copy of your
letter sent to each. [ will Of course
secure their consent, but think one
moment, Doctor, what attitude it will
put you in to the people in your
county to let it be known that you
are willing to stand between Al per
cent of the rural school children ana
better sanitary and health conditions
for few dollars to be added to your
annual income. We hope that you
will reconsider, in view of the fact
that it will not ultimately affect your
income, but will, in the long run,
help you.
Again thanking you for your frank
statement and assuring you of my
best wishes, l am,

It is an intensely interesting review

these old Safzburgers, of peaceful

Health, l am in receipt of
copy of letter of yours to
A. F. Fort, Field officer of
the Hookworm Investigation, At
Ianta, Ga.
l am very much surprised at your
attitude as to the investigation and
treatment of the hook-worm disease
in Georgia. I believe you are the
only representative of the medical
profession in the State of Georgia
who has ever raised question as
to the Investigation and treatment
of hook-worm within our State. The
grounds upon which you object to
such an Investigation are certainly
not altruistic or worthy of disciple
of Esculapeus. You place before the
welfare and benefits to your citizens
and neighbors the one selfish idea of
your professional rights, respect and
Confidence Of the people, and wish to
deny the citizens of your county and
your neighborhood the benefits of
great charity, in order that you may
professionally reap what little re-
ward may come from your possession
of a degree of M. D. have practiced
medicine in the State of Georgia for
thirty years, and have met in my
career all classes of doctors, but if !
have ever met one who fails to re-
ceiye my professional respect | must
name your name. For your own pro-
fessional benefit you would deny
your neighbors, your friends and the
citizens Of your county the benefits
of a great charity, in order that you
might obtain your personal profess
sional rights, respect and confidence
of your people. By so doing you are
denying the rights which inately be-
long to the citizens of a great State
like that of Georgia.
Very respectfully yours,
H. J. WILLIAMS,
President.

Dear Doctor: In reply to your
recent and ins:nuating letter, l beg
to submit the following: l do not
like the usurping position taken
by the State officials in the active
treatment of diseases over the ethi-
cal rights of hard working and honest
physicians; and think the State
would do well to confine it's opera
tons to sanitation and prevention of
diseases as they are the only ones
paid to do that. Why not send men
out to solicit subscriptions to pay for
your treatments instead of going
through us local physicians direct to
the county treasury? The agricultu-
raj work is done on that plan and
is satisfactory meeting approval
everywhere. DR.. don't you like for
people to think we'll of your ability
as a physician, and you feel the in
spiration trashing through your vital
man, encouraging and better fitting
you for the work? We do too. Now
as to the Rockefeller loot. l think
you all have divided that very nicely
among yourselves and you ought to
be satisfied. AS to your professional
respect for me, | can get on very
nicely without that, as / have been
doing without it for about SO years.
| didn't know there was a man by
your name until | received your let
ter of unprofessional etiquette. If
you folks can go ahead and con-
tinue to draw money from the coun-
ty treasury without my consent, do
so, but remember that there will be
numbers Of people in the State that
will know that there is a hook
worm swindle going on in Georgia.

My Dear Sir: I am in a little twist
with the State Board Doctors, about
the hOok-Worm investigation in Geor-
gia.
[ wouldn't sign the certificate sent
State wide to all local doctors, by
one Doctor A. G. Fort, Director of
Hook-worm investigation in Georgia,
but objected stoutly on the grounds
that it interfered with my profess
sional rights as local physician,
lowered confidence, and respect of
people in me as a doctor, and that |
wouldn't sanction anything that
would add more tax to a people al
ready overtaxed.
The President of said Board, one
j. H. Williams, M. D., of Macon, Ca,
wrote me very abusing and threat
ening letter. l want to have the
matter published for the benefit Of
the people as it is a swindle involv-
ing all the counties in the State, and
meaning thousands of dollars to the

ers. 1t is a fraud and a graft, be-
cause they are finding and treating

U. S. SHIP TORPEDOED
STEAMER NEBRASKAN ATTACKED
BY GERMAN SUBMARINE.
Vessel Put Back to Liverpool After
Being Badly Damaged Off
Coast of ireland.

London, May 28-Proceeding under
her own steam at eight knots an hour,
the American steamship Nebraskan,
which was torpedoed on Wednesday
by a German submarine at point
40 miles west-southwest of Fastnet. of
the south coast of Ireland, arrived at
Liverpool
The name and nationality of the
Nebraskan was painted in large let
tiers on her sides, says message from
Liverpool
From earlier dispatches, it appears
that for a time after she was torpe-
doed the Nebraskan was uncontroll-
BILE, and her crew is said to have
abandoned her, but finding she did not
sink and seeing no trace of the subma-
rine, returned to the vessel and
turned her head toward port.
The Nebraskan steamed from Liv-
perpool May "a for Delaware break
water. She carried no passengers.
None of the crew was killed when she
was torpedoed.
A message to Lloyds from Kinsale,
Ireland, says that when the Nebras-
kan passed that point bound for Liver
pool, she was down at the bows. She
was under her own steam and flying
the signal: II am not under control.
A message to Lloyds says an armed
trawler went to the assistance of the
Nebraskan and stood by her all night.

use at this stage By removing some
of the teeth of this tool it can be
used in corn until the crop is nearly
waist high. Indeed, some excellent
crops of corn have been grown by the
use of the weeder only.
The drag harrow and weeder may
also be used to advantage with pota-
toes, cotton and other cultivated
crops. After the crops have become
so large that these implements can
no longer be used, the tillage is per
formed with cultivators. Intercultural
tillage is especially effective in con-
trolling weeds if tho crop has been
planted in checkrows so as to permit
the implement to work in two direc~
tions. Cultivated crops, therefore, Of
Ter abundant opportunities to rid
farm of weeds. If properly handled,
they are rightly termed cleaning
crops" Besides the usual cultivated
crops, small-grain crops can also some
times be cultivated to advantage in
the spring with spike-tooth harrow
or weeder.
After the small-grain crop is har-
vested 1t is often good practice in the
northern states to harrow or disk the
stubble to encourage the termination
of the weed seeds that are at or near
the soil surface. The seedlings are
killed by the fall blowing or by cold
weather. Some weeds, such as rag
weed and foxtail, start to mature
seeds soon after harvest, so that care
must be taken to turn the plants I'M
der before the seeds approach matur-
ity. Flowing without the preliminary
disking would turn under millions OF
weed seeds to make trouble in future
years.
Moving to Prevent Seed Scattering.
Moving is another way of prevent
ing weeds from going to seed. AS
rule, it is best to NOW when weeds
have reached the full-bloom stage.
When there are patches in grain fields
thick with weeds, it will pay to cut

ZEPPELINS REACH LONDON

Prior to giving out the above COM

ton which might properly be pub

them, grain and all, before the weeds
start to go to seed.
1t pays to cut a hay crop early, in
order to prevent weeds from going
to seed as we'll as to secure a better
quality of hay. After a grain crop is
removed, a crop of weeds, such as
ragweed or foxtail, usually follows,
which, if not disturbed, not only re-
seeds the land for further crops of
weeds, but may do much damage to
a young seeding of clover or grass.
Moving these weeds will prevent
most of them from going to seed, and,
further, the clippings will be of value
as mulch for the young grass.
More or less hand work is neces-
sary in preventing the growth and
often occur in scattered places about
the fields and can be removed by hand
with little work, whereas If they are
allowed to mature they will thorough
ly seed the land and make trouble for
the future. Such weeds may be pre-
vented from seeding, either by hand
pulling or digging them out with a
mattock, hoe or spud so far below
the surface that new top growth will
not spring up and mature seeds. The
annual and biennial weeds will make
no further appearance if pulled or
cut off when they are in full blossom.
One of the best tools for disposing
of weeds with thick roots is the spud,
a tool with a long handle and chisel4
like blade at one end. These are
particularly effective with bull thistle,
mullen, and chicory. By digging the
weeds when they are in full blossom
it is sometimes not difficult to clear
farms of corn-cockle, wild mustard,
and many other weeds by little hand
work.
Sheep are useful in preventing
weeds from seeding. In a pasture
where sheep are running it is usually
much more free of weeds than in
pastures where cattle AMI horses are
running. Another method of prevent
ing the spread of weeds sometimes
used, is burning them, culling, spoil
ing or turning over the standing weed
crop. This is often useful in killing
weed seeds both in connection with
the weeds cut green and allowed to
