SANITARY SURVEY
FOR GREENVILLE
FEDERAL HEALTH EXPERTS 10
MAKE THOROUGH STUDY OF
COUNTY.
WORK TO COVER ONE YEAR
Complete Sanitary Inspection Wisn
:: Especial Reference to Prevention
ofE-Typhoid Fever.

Columbia.-The United States pub
lie health service will undertake, com
mencing this week, a study Of the con
ditions in Greenville county affecting
health, with especial reference to the
prevention of diseases such as typhoid
fever. This complete sanitary inpsec
ton, which will continue for a year OF
more, covering every section OF the
county, will be made as result or the
requests of James A. Hayne, MD.
state health officer, in co-operatlon
with county officials. All expenses OF
the public health officers will be paid
by the government.
Dr.. Hayne said few days ago ths'
in urging this sanitary inspection roI
q unit Of this state he had recommend
ed that the work be done either IN
Greenviue county or Richland county
but that the government had chosen
the former because Of its greater pei
cent of white population and also be-
cause it appeared to be more repre-
sentative South Carolina county. he
said also that he would probably trans
fer one of the two units provided for
by the legislature to Richland county
where also he hopes to have the OIL
cials Of the public health service at
work.
A letter will be sent out in the near
future to all registered electors OF
Greenviue county notifying them OF
the undertaking and asking for their
cooperation. This study OF health
conditions in your county" the letter
saws in part, "is part Of a general
sanitary survey being made by the
public health service in representative
counties in a number Of states. The
main purpose of this survey is to de-
termine the sanitary conditions exist
ing in the rural Districts generally OF
the United States and the best methods
for their improvement.
"The officers VINO will visit the
homes in your county 7~e trained IN
sanitation and after making their
studies they will be able to advise
about health. conditions. particularly
as to water supplies and refuse dis
posal in each neighncrhood. These
men will learn from their, studies IN
YOUR community facts which may be
presented with advantage to other
communities.
"The benefit to your community
from this undertaking by your nation
al, state and county governments VII:
depend upon the active interest or the
individual citizens If you and you"
neighbors will give to the workers
and the work your cordial support
and assistance your county can be
made one of the several most health
full counties in the United States"

(By PROF. W. N. HUT, North Carolna
Experiment Station.)

(By PROF. W. n. HUTT, NORTH Saround
Experiment Station.)
In my experience, one Of the best
places for planting pecan orchard is
in the cotton field. Pecan trees are
very deep-rooted, feed far below the
surface, do not encroach much on
the cotton land until they are big
enough to give profit for its use.
Pecan trees should be set not less than
so feet apart; so feet is better. In
these wide middles cotton and other
crops can be successfully cultivated
for years until the trees require ali
the land. In this way planter need
not be out of the use Of his land.
but can at the same time be gradually
changing an annual crop that adds
no permanent increment to the value
of his soil to perennial one that
makes his land more valuable every
year it grows upon it. Of course,
would not advise cotton planters to
put all their lands in pecan trees. but
l do believe that every cotton planta-
tion would be enhanced in value II
It had on it larger or smaller pecan
orchard, if only Of few trees. A
special advantage Of the cotton field
for pecan planting is that the trees
are practically assured of cultivation.
I have never seen pecan orchard
that was success unless 1t was cul-
tivated, at least while the trees were
young. 1t is for this reason that l
prefer the term pecan orchard to
pecan grove" for the latter term has
about it more of the idea Of a green
unbroken turf. and, from my expert
ence, I am very sure that this is not
the condition conducive to large yields
of nuts. Professor Van Deman said,
Mature plants groves, but man plants
orchards"
Where maintenance crops are grown
in pecan orchard, judgment should
be exercised in not allowing the rows
to encroach too closely on the trees,
thus robbing them Of the plant food
and moisture. If this is done. valuable
time will be lost in getting the trees
into bearing. Maintenance or cover
crops should not be allowed to gro"
nearer than six feet to the tree row.

One ton of meal is easily worth a

Different Varieties Of Pecana.

and of course no crop Of any kind

a good farmer who, at my soiicita-
ton. set out pecan orchard, asked
me one day to look at his trees. be
cause they did not seem to be doing
well. When drove with him TO his
place l had difficulty in finding bis
orchard, for the place on which ne
had planted It was now solid field
of tall, waving corn. which looked as
if it would produce 100 bushels to the
acre. l could not at first see single
pecan tree, but after locating the corn
row in which the trees were setI was
able to find number Of dead ones
an some very small, living but dis
couraged-looking trees. They would
have had more chance Of survival IN
the struggle In their native forests
than in that jungle Of corn. The neid
was planted solid with. ccrn. there
being Just one hill left out where the
pecan tree stood. The trees were 2cul-
tivated, and intensely so, but what
chance had they of surviving, much
less making a satisfactory growth? !

matician of antiquity. said. ut Is I'M
possible to- have two things Ia the

a pecan orchard. Corn Is too tan a

Besides giving the young pecan trees
