this question. AS we have gone
about we have found some who are
of the opinion that national pre-
paredness is imperative; others
lhink that it is unnecessary and UNI
called for.
In times of stress the country has
found the men and boys of the farms
to be its real pillar of strength. ;"
In 1776 they were able to lay aside
aheir everyday work and beat the
soldiers of the Mother Country. But
the farmers work has implanted in
aim spirit of peace, and straw
vote would probably show a major
ity of the people in the rural dis
tricts to be opposed to an extensive
preparedness policy, of this how
ever we are not sure. Lessons
should be drawn from the awful
struggle across the water and our
policy decided, not in the light of
craftsmanship or bias, but in the
sound judgment of good citizenship.
But Christmas time with it's mes
sage of love and forgiveness; with
its music of Peace on earth, good
will to men," with it's story of the
Christ child who came not to destroy
but to save, is hardly time to dis
cuss question that deals with war
and it's destructivness.
And whether the farmers of this
land favor the idea of preparedness
in the way of an increased army and
navy, submarines, military aircraft,
forts, coast defense etc, there are
other lines of preparedness that we
should-yes- advocate.
There must be a preparedness to
farm better in the future than in the
past. While. some criticise the view,
we believe it good policy to make
le proverbial two blades grow
where one grew before"
There never was a time of
more need of the products of the
American farm than to-day. With
many of the fields of Europe drench-
ed with blood and furrowed with
shot and shell instead of the hus-
bandman's plow, with millions of
men in the battle trenches instead Of,
in the pillow burrows the productive
ness of Europe is crippled for years
to come. This leaves the American
Farmer not only the needs of his
own country but a big share of the
needs of Europe to supply.
Is there not a need of prepared
ness for better farming?
Are we getting the greatest re-
suits from our farms with the least
amount of labor necessary to pro-
duce these results?
There is no other occupation that
brings more problems to be solved
by those who follow it than does
farming.
There is need of preparation for
the solving Of these problems.
Better equipment, more scientific
application, more study-prepared-
ness for better farming.

! the case that people do not realize the
amount of damage that is done. In
many instances cotton appears from
! the outside of the bale to be in fairly
good condition, when it is really bad
! ly injured inside due to the fact that
moisture has been allowed to pen
citrate the bale, thus causing mildew.
IT is not unusual, according to the
departments data, for cotton to sur
fer loss of from $500 to $500 per
bale as result of unnecessary eX-
posure. At all times it should be kept
off the ground and properly shelter
ed. Where it is impossible to place 1t in
a warehouse it should be protected by
dry shed or it may be placed on
poles or timbers which will keep 1t
several inches from the ground and
covered tarpaulins. Protected In this
way. IL can be held for six months or
even a year with very little damage.
In some sections the farmers and
business men have organized com
panies for the purpose of constructing
warehouses in order to protect the
cotton This, the investigators believe,
is a move in the right direction and
every community should take this pre-
caution where the warehouses now
available are not ample for the pro
lection of the cotton crop. They point
out, however that many of these com
munities are making serious mistake
in constructing cheap warehouses. 1t
has been shown (Bulletin PIC, L. S
department of agriculture, Cotton
Warehoues; Storage Facilities Now
Available in the South that there is
an annual loss of several million dol
lars in the cost of insurance. This
loss is brought about primarily by the
construction of cheap warehouses. The
rate Of insurance on these cheap struc
lures ranges from two per cent to four
per cent per annum, while 1t is pos
sible to insure cotton, in the standard
warehouse. with proper equipment, at
the rate of onefourth of one per cent
per annum. The cheap structures last
u comparatively few years and cost
almost as much as the standard ware
house. The saving in insurance will
pay for the difference in cost of the
warehouse in very short time. While
Il is better to construct inexpensive
cotton to be damaged, it is much bet
ter and even cheaper, in the long run.

ical conditions that give rise to pei
lagra. Thus, not only would pella-
grous patients be restored 20 health,
but human efficiency greatly aug
mented
In recent communication to the
public, the oklahoma State Board
of Health expressed the opinion that
pelagra was not a disease, in the
sense that dphtheria and tubercu-
losis, for example, are diseases, but
that pellagra was condition reflect
ing the results of improper living from
dietetic standpoint. In other words,
it was due to lack of balanced
ration. Attention was directed to
the peculiar and important fact that
in no way known to science at this
time could pellagra be transmitted
from one person to another, even
the TRANSMISSION of blood failing to
produce pellagra in the non-pellagrous
individual.
That pellagra is intimately associ
ated with the kind and quantity of
food eaten was shown by the tests
recently conducted by federal experts
at two orphanages at Jackson, Miss,
and at the Georgia state sanitarium.
Hygienic and sanitary conditions
at the orphanages were found to be
undesirable, but were not changed.
Pellagra had prevailed in the institu-
tions for years. 1t was observed that
there was a dsproportionately small
amount of lean meat and other ami
nal protein food in the diet of af-
fected individuals, compared with the
diet of persons who did not have pei
lagra. Pellagra, before the chronic
stage is reached, tends to lecur each
spring, its visible symptoms disap
pearing in the interval. The patients
chosen for the tests in which it was
intended that the annual recurrence |
of pellagra should be prevented, were
at once put on an abundant and nu-
tritious balanced ration, in which the
fresh animal and leguminous protein
foods were heavily increased. The !
tests in these orphanages we're begun
in the spring and summer of 1914, and
are still under way. A preliminary
announcement of results was made
in October, 1915, and is attracting
attention throughout the world.
In the two orphanages combined.
III pellagrous persons under dietary
treatment failed to have an annual
recurrence of symptoms in the spring.
after having been under treatment for
a full year. In one orphanage there
was not case of pellagTa during the
year. and in the other only one case
that could be diagnosed as pellagra.
In the Georgia sanitarium seventy-twO
pellagrous persons-36 Colored and
SO white-were continuously under OBJ
servation until after the anniversary
of their last years attack in 1914. In
no instance was there rect "niZable
evidence OF a recurrence Of pellagra.
Under normal conditions, by which
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1915-11-14

is meant the absence of improved
diet, there should have been total
of 50 occurrences of pellagra this
year in the orphanages, whereas there
was only one recurrence. Among
the insane patients in the Georgia
institution, high rate of recurrence
might be expected, but not a case
was observed.
The conclusion of the United States
Public Health Service is that pella-
gra may be prevented by an appro-
pirate, even diet, without any altera-
ton in the environment, hygienic or
sanitary.
In offering a remedy for pellagra,
the federal investigators unavoidably
strike at the very heart of the econo-
mic distress and inefficiency involved
in agricultural conditions in the Uni
ted States, and pellagra stands re-
vealed as the very symbol and em-
blem of the backwardness and inef-
ficiency that is holding millions of
our rural population in bondage. Pei
lagra is the sworn enemy of diversi-
fed industry on the farm. Pellagra
would be destroyed by changed con
ditions that would insure to each
rural family sufficiency of proper
food produced on the farm.

The recommendations of the federal
experts to stay the progress of pella-
gra, adds the best kind of support to
the nationwide movement for the bet
terment of social and economic condi-
tions in the United States, now at its
beginning in Oklahoma. These rec
concentrations in substance are as
follows:
Provide for an increase in the diet
of fresh animal and leguminous foods
particularly during the late winter
and spring. Diversification and cul-
tivation of food crops Gncluding an
adequate pea patch) to minimize the
disastrous effects of a crop failure
and to make food cheaper and more
readily available. Make these foods
as accessible as possible in the more
or less isolated industrial communities
by providing market, particularly
butcher shops, throughout the year.
Reduce the diet in the carbohydrate
(starchy) foods. Finally, improve
economic conditions; increase wages,
reduce unemployment Make the 9TH
er class of foods cheap aud readily
accessible.
