REFINING VEGETABLE
OILS INCREASE VALUE

DR.. Charles BASKERVILLE, professor
of chemistry in the College of the City
Of New York, North Carolinian, cali
ed some years ago from his home state
to his present position has recently
issued pamphlet on Refining Vegeta
BILE and Animal Oils" which closes
with a summary of the process which
he has worked out for preparing nat
ural oil, with the following statement
Of the matter;
/. The actual refined oil obtained is
from / to 10 per cent. more than now
secured. Placed at low average of
$ per cent, the process will save the
cottonseed oil industry in this country
over $2,OOO,OOO a year when prices are
normal. The soja-bean oil industry,
just developing in this country, can
save per cent The peanut oil in
dustry can save per cent. The COCO
a1ut oil industry can save from to
per cent.
2. The process takes from one
tenth to one-third the time now neces-
sary Hence the capacity of the re-
fnery is increased. This is of great
importance during the rush season;
III fact, its introduction will inecon-
omic efficiency perform the same role
the tungsten filament lamp has played
whereby the light production of a
power station has been tripled.
3. The process gives a daily double
check on the efficiency of the refinery
4. The process is applicable to all
grades of edible oils, which is not true
with the common procedure.

OEMONSTRAT D R s
GOOD IN THE STATE
(By Andrew NJ. Soule.l

Last year the adult demonstrators
raised 1906 acres of corn with an
average. yield of 40.1 bushels per acre;
6,396 acres of cotton with an average
yield of 1915 pounds of seed cotton
per acre; 1872 acres of oats with an
average yield of 50 bushels per acre.
Compare these figures with the aver
age for the state and see the influence
for agricultural betterment which has
been conferred on these farmers
through the work of the county agent
In addition the agents were respons-
ible for the seeding under approved
methods of 1859 acres of clover, 4,013
acres of wheat, 1885 acres of peanuts.
Gel acres of rye. 3,040 acre sof cow
peas, 1926 acres of vetch, 739 acres OF
say and velvet beans and $50 acres of
hay crops.
The agents also aided in the estab-
lishment of 10,4O2 acres of pasture
land, 10,943 gardens, in the prepera>
ton of $4,000 tons of fertilizer, and
the pruning and spraying of Ais
acres or orchards. They have encour-
aged the stumping of 50,920 acres Of
land, the terracing of 1850 acres, and
the drainage of 600 more. They are
also largely responsible for the pur-
chase of 100000 worth OF improved
machinery.
Through their efforts 1869 purebrei
cattle, principally of the beef breeds,
have been brought into the state. Ad-
vice has been given relative to the
purchase, feeding and management Of
thousands of beef and dairy cattle and
hogs. At least $4,000 hogs have been
inoculated with protective serum,
thus effectively contrilling the spread
OF swine plague, and encouraging the
development of this industry on a
basis somewhat commensurate with
Georgia's needs. One hundred and
twenty-eight modern farm buildings
have been erected through their inf1u-
ence, as well as 262 silos and GIG dip
ping watts. Waterworks and lighting
systems have been installed in $50
homes and telephone connections plac-
ed in 800 more.
Georgia farmers have been organ
lied in 76 local cooperative clubs, IS
county or school fairs promoted and
255 special meetings held. The agents
have made over 1,100 visits to the
schools and met personally $4,000
teachers, parents and pupils. They
travelled in their own conveyances
325 900 miles

TIMELY PRECAUTIONS
MAY SAVE YOUR CHILD

Anent the epidemic of infantile par
aiysis that his destroyed so many
young lives in New York City, few
cases of which have been reported in
some OF our Southern cities, we print
herewith some suggestions for pro-
tecting the health of the children ST
this city against infantile paralysis.
which come from the board of health
of the city of New York, and have
been given endorsement of local au
thorities in other cities.
There are few cases in Atlanta
DR.. j. P. Kennedy, health officer Of
that city in commenting on the situa,
ton, asserted that there is no need
for fear on the part of the people. He
does not believe there will be an cpl
demic here, but says that there are al
ways a few cases during the year.
The suggestions follow
Keep your children clean.
Wash the nose and throat frequent
ly with solution of one teaspoonful
of salt to quart of water.
Give each child its own pocket
Handkerchief.
Keep all foods covered and away
from flies.
Don't buy fresh vegetables from dir
ty-handed peddlers.
Don't let rubbish or garbage COZ
lect in the house or yard.
See doctor, if your child has sum
mer complaint, or is ailing otherwise.
Keep your child off the street as
much as possible and be sure that
they never go into house where the
department of health has posted an
infantile paralysis notice.
Know whom your child is playing
with and be sure that there is no in
fantile paralysis case in the families
of his playfellows.
Don't have children's parties.
Wash your own hands and face and
those of your children frequently.
Remember, the health department,
its doctors, nurses and inspectors are
your friends. Tell them all you know
and do as they say.
Call the doctor if your child is even
slightly i'll; particularly if it COM
plains of stomach trouble, fever, cold
i'll the head or stiffness of the neck,
legs or arms. These are symptoms of
infantile paralysis.
Remember there is no proprietary
remedy for infantile paralysis.
