What Wake County has done mere
tofore in the way OF health work and
disease prevention will fade in the
distance in view OF the campaign
which will be inaugurated on june

county.
The county commissioners at re-
cent session had DR.. J. J. l.. McCul-
lers before them. DIR. McGullerS came
with a plan and plenty of argument
to go with it. For just four hundred
and fifty dollars he could give an OPP
portunity to every man, woman and
child in the county to become i'm
mune from typhoid. The commits
sioners listened. DR.. McCullers talk
ed on. When he had stopped $3.50

The next step was the city. DR.
Jim Mckee co-operated and the city
commissioners appropriated three
hundred dollars for the Raleigh
campaign. With these two appro-
priations, Wake County steps ahead

Something Enormous-Experts
Give Interesting Figures.

Cotton is being blown up now at q

In the histor of the world. The use
OF guncotton in up-to-date warfare is

high explosives; for instance, the Eng
lish cordite is 81 per cent guncot-
ton.
United States ordnance experts es-
innate that every time one. of the
big l5-inch guns of Uncle Sans navy
goes on there is one less bale OF cot
ton. or 500 pounds. One discharge OF
the 12-inch gun consumes 300 pounds
of cotton.
Those same experts figure that 1t
requires one pound Of cotton to make
one pound of guncotton, the loss in
weight beins accounted for in the
treating OF cotton in a mixture of
strong nitric and sulphuric acid. One
of the estimates that 100000 men

Of cotton in week In fairly active
hghting. although guesses on that
score are necessarily vague.

ABANDoNs oNE-cR0P SYSTEM
Southern Farmers Are Being Taught
sueeess-Adopt "Hay, Hogs and
Homlny" Slogan.

With assurance that the South has
at last needed the hay, hogs and
hominy" slogan, abandoned the one
crop system. and set about earnestly
to diversity her crops. southern
boards OF trade and commercial ana
industrial organizations of all kitds
are busy advising the farmers now
to adjust themselves to these neF con-
ditions. says an Atlanta dispatc
Editors, iucators and RS
have dinned into the the
farmers the idea that tho 606tn can
grow as fine quality of hay as the
West. With this idea in view an In
vestigation was recently made. The
farmers asserted there was no mar
ket for the peavine hay.
The commission grain merchants
were then moved on. They acknowl-
edged that they did not care to buy
peavine hay, and gave their reasons.
It was not cured properly. and, In
addition, possessed fattening quail
ity which made 1t unsuitable for
work animals. As result the South
has now a propaganda of education
on how to cure and bale hay.
A rather unique plan for improv.
ing the grade of southern cattle is
being urged, and to this idea the farm
ers have taken readily. :
The county commissioners OF every
county in every southern state are
urged to purchase a thoroughbred
sire OF one OF the best breeds OF cat
tie for the free use of the farmers
of the country.
Along this same line OF diversifi-
cation it is also proposed that every
southern town have = market day.
While complete revolution cannot
be expected in one year, the de-
crease of nearly so per cent in the
sale of fertilizer tags this year and
the unquestionably large cut in cot
ton acreage show tina King Cotton
is tottering on his throne. The great
est fear is that high price Of cotton
next year, due to the crop shortage,
will plunge the southern farmer back
to where he came from, to the unend
ing field of white.

HONESTY IN FARM PRODUCTS

One of the unfortunate things about
marketing is that one dishonest pro-

black eye from which 1t will take
years to recover.
The purchaser doesn't know the in.
dividual-he knows only that the prod

all commodities originating from there
