AMERICAN GIRL AFRICAN NURSE
Treats Six or Seven Hundred Cases
of Elcphantiasis IL Year.
Missionary News Bureau.0

(MisSlonary News Bureau
Three years ago a young American
woman, Miss Sarah e. Conway, went
to Cape Mount, Liberia, to help in
the mission there.
On recent visit to this country
Miss Conway was asked to tell few
Of her experiences. 81 have treated
between 5000 and 5000 sufferers
each year." she said. LAS soon as
breakfast is over the procession of
human aches and pains begins, and
sometimes when the last school bell
rings at in the evening | am still
at work upon these horrible tropical
sores which inflict black humanity.
While sores are the commonest af-
Fiction, there are many others. Ul-
GERS in plenty, infections of different
kinds, while naturally the heat, dust
and the other conditions Of life in
tropical Africa produce troubles of
the ear, throat and eyes. Besides
these chronic difficulties there are,
of course, broken bones and accidents
OF all sorts. Every patient who is
able to- walk comes to the mission to
be treated. Among them are many
lepers.
"The clinic at the mission is only
a part OF the problem. Much visiting
in the wretched little places which
they call homes is necessary. Eevers.
pneumonia and rheumatism cannot
walk or be brought to me; elephan-
tiasis, of which there is a great deal,
of course incapacitates the patient.
To those afflicted with these diseases
| make perhaps COO or 700 visits
year. Then, too, there are dreadful
accidents to which one must hasten
with all speed. Many men have
been horribly bitten by baboons.
These animals seem to attack human
beings more fiercely than do any
other Of the wild dwellers in the iun-
gle. At any hour Of day or night /
am likely to be called for emergency
work."
TO those who know Miss Conway's
slight almost frail, physique, this
record seems little short of marvel

Have you supply OF fruit on your
farm? II not, why not begin now to
make arrangements for It? On almost
ev0ry farm OF the state there are a
few trees, producing a small quantity
OF fruit. In most cases all the fruit
ripens at once and IL soon gone, giving
a supply for only a short time and leav-
ing none to put away for winter use.
No southern state is better adapted
than South Carolina to producing fruit
for home use. yet millions OF dollars
leave the state every year for canned
fruit.
Preparing Soil.
AT this season OF the year (Septem-
Der 1 to October 15) orchards are usu-
ally neglected. Farmers seem to think
that there Is nothing to be done then
that will be Of any material help. Nov
ertheless, now Ia the time to begin to
prepare soil for the trees that are set
out this fall and winter Select the
orchard site. break the soil as deeply
as possible and harrow thoroughly.
This work will greatly reduce the Ia
ter labor or setting the orchard.
Choosing Varieties.
What varieties are you going to
plant? This Is q point OF great i'm
portance. Be sure to make selections
that will provide fruit throughout an
entire season. IL you are not familiar
with the varieties that are adapted to
your particular section, write to the
Extension Division, Clemson College,
for Bulletin No. Is. In this will be
found lists Of varieties suitable for the
various sections OF the state.
Buying Trees.
Where are you going to get your
trees and what are you going to pay
for them? II you are not in touch
with a reliable nursery and IL you are
not familiar with the prices OF trees,

matter. Beware Of the tree agent. The

City Where Geese Are Shod.

Wilma, the Russian city which has
figured extensively in the operations
of the retreating armies from the
Warsaw district, is probably the only
place in the world where geese are
ShOd.
The Wilma district is celebrated for
producing geese, which are sold by
thousands in distant markets. In
normal times, great fiocks are driven
by the goosc-hcrds to tho famous
goose fair, or market, at Warsaw,
200 miles distant To prevent the
birds getting fOOtsore on the long
journey, they are made during the
late autumn to walk through tar,
and then through fine sand. The
geese are thus provided with per-
fect-fitting pair OF boots, in which
they can comfortably make the long
tramp to market.
