that used among the entente armies.

A HOME ORCHARD
ON EVERY NORTH
CAROLINA FARM

Plans of the Agricultural Extension
Service to place demonstration or
chard in every township Of every
county where an agricultural agent is
employed will aid greatly in the thrift
month campaign for home orchard
on the farm, states F. H. Jeter, Sec
rotary to the thrift committee recent
ly appointed by, Governor Beckett.
Mr.. C. R. Hudson, State agent in
charge of the farm demonstration
work, has obtained plans from Horti
culturist HUT in which a good home
orchard for the three main divisions
of the State has been outlined Ev-
cry county agent has been given a
copy of the plan drawn for his Sec
ton with instructions to have one
demonstration home orchard in every
township in the county. A selection OF
the very best fruit trees for the sec
ton designated has been made and
it is the purpose of the Extension
Service to have, in each township,
such an orchard any farmer could
afford to put out.
In this work the county agent will
demonstrate the proper handling of
an orchard. The plans are drawn for
one acre and one-half acre orchard
plots. Only a few of the best va
rieties of fruit for a given section
are used, but these consist Of early
medium and late varieties in order
that the home may have some fruit
the year round.
After one of these demonstration
orchards has been put in each town,
ship the county agent will be, re-
quired to see to the proper plant
ing; fertilizing, subsequent cul
: tivation, spraying, pruning ane
worming. 1t is not intended
: that this shall be commercial ven
ture, as its sole purpose is to furthel
the purpose set forth in the thrift
!, proclamation to supply fruit for home
l use as an investment.
1t requires very little outlay in casl
e to put in small home orchard Will
: rthe fruit is beneficial to the healtl
!; of body and purse. Those who desir
to put in one SHOULD consult with tn
county agent or. write to the Agricul
tural Extension Service at Raleig
y for home orchard plans.

SORE THROAT MAY
MEAN DIPHTHERIA
In Case of Diphtheria Delay is Dan


Take no chances with a sore throat,
advises the State Board Of Health.
Sore throat, regardless Of how slight
the soreness, should arouse suspicion.
la may be and often is the beginning
of diphtheria. Don't dismiss it until
the doctor has proved it is not. Es-
pecially is this important if diph-
liberia is prevalent in the commun-
ity. Remember that if it is
diphtheria, every hour that the adj
ministration Of antitoxin is delayed,
the possibility of fatal termination
is increased.
Diphtheria is about one hundred
per cent durable, provided the treat
ment is given soon enough. Often
times the beginning of diphtheria
which is a sore throat, is thought to
be onlya cold or tonsilitis and the doc
tor is not called and treatment given
until it is too late. After the thiro
or fourth day, treatment often fails
and there is no cure. The safest plar
is when diphtheria is suspected, t.
give antitoxin while waiting for the
diagnosis of the physician.
Diphtheria is due to bacillus tina
is contracted usually through thu
mouth and nose from some other pa
tient or carrier. Even we'll person
often carry diphtheria germs in thei
saliva and nose secretions, and TO
this reason, the common drinking cup
the exchange of pencils, or any 9th
er means of exchanging saliva is es
pe-ially dangerous as spread o
diphtheria Mouth and nose secre
tions cannot be too carefully avoided

Carried Himself to Jail.
Wilmington Star.

w llIlllIlS COll Dual.
Three months ago Bill Whitmire, a
mountaineer of Pennsylvania county,
was before Judge James E. Boyd OF
the Federal court at Asheville, on a
charge of making corn whiskey con-
trary to the statutes provided in such
cases and was convicted. He told the
Judge that he had crop in the max
ing and couldn't afford to go to jail
right then. Judge Boyd makes some
mighty human decisions in the course
of his judicial proceedings, and so ne
told Bill to go back home and make
his "crap" and when he had harvested
it, to report to Asheville. Bill prom
ised he would do just that. This week
he walked into the office Of Marsha
| Webb at Asheville and announced his
readiness to begin his sentence of "
days in prison. Webb wrote note to
the TAILOR at Brevard and told him te
lock Bill up for three months, gave il
to Whitmire, who toted it to Brevare
and is now in Jail. Like all Other
mountain blockaders, Bill is firmly O
the opinion that he has an inalienabl'
right to convert his corn into whlskey
has done it before and doubtless viii
do it again; but like most of them, b
is man of his word, and when h.
tod the "jedge" he would show up at
ter his crop was made, he meant 1t
and lived up to it.
