ANTI.GERMAN FEELING
STRONG IN ARGENTINA.

.Buenos Aires, Sept. 1S.-The down
town section of the city was the scene
of the widest disorders tonight II
connection with great anti-German
demonstrations in which thousands OF
Argentinians took part. Many of those
in the mobs carried 1re-brands, and
as a result scores of buildings were
set on fire. Several blocks of German
business houses in Gale 20 De Mayo
were destryed.
Among the structures attacked were
the German club, one of the finest edi-
fees in the city. and the building of
the German daily La Union. AS fast
as the fires in these buildings were
extinguished, they were started again.
Mounted patrols and the entire fire de-
partment kept rushing from one part
of the city to another, in an attempt
to quell the riots, and put down the
flames. In several instances police
who were attempting to shoot at those
welding torches were set upon by the
and disarmed.
Extraordinary precautions have
been taken by the authorities to pro-
tect Count Luxburg, the German min
lister. when he arrives here tomorrow
morning to receive his passports.

N. c. REDUCES TYPHOID RATE.

That North Cardinals high death
rate from typhoid fever is gradually
being reduced is shown by figures re-
Gently compiled by the Vital Statistics
Department of the State Board of
Health. The number of deaths from
typhoid from January 1 to August |
this yea reported to this department
were 1919 against 306 for the same time
last year. The total number Of deaths
from typhoid last year was 700 against
744 in 1915 and against 839 in 1914.
"Even this reduction" says thu
board, docs not bring the States
death rate from this disease to near
what it should be. In 1916 the Stale
had the high rate of 29.1 per 100, 900
population, whereas the rate for the
registration area of the United States
last year was only 1874. This shows
that North Carolina has a rate over
twice as high as it should be. In
1915, the States typhoid death rate
was 31.3. ITO materially reduce this
rate. and to do it within the next few
years." says the board. "is going to DO
one of the tasks the board will set its
hand to in the future"
To accomplish this the board will
work mainly through the new State
epidemiOlogy law which makes tyIlhc+d
fever-cases as we'll as deaths-re-
portable to the State Board of Health.
1t also makes it a quarantinable dis
ease. Through the law the board will
be able to know where cases of this
disease exists, and will go after It
with the full power of the law.
For the s~imple-fact that every case
of typhoid fever comes from some
other case. and because the means Of
its spread are WEI ken ard +>arn
fore can be nreverted. the board Hctiq
that there is less excuse foT typhoid
fever in No-.h C0rc':1c an f. =
Other disease. Consequently, the war
that it will wage on this d sease is en-
pected to be a relentless one.

GETS WINTER SUPPLY OF TRUCK

A woman, writing in Farm and
Fireside, says in the September issue:
Fall planting of garden truck is a
very different proposition in the Gulf
States compared t what we were &C.
customed to when living on a corn-belt
farm. Here fall gardens and truck
crops are considered a better source OF
cash income than the spring crops.
"This season We had roasting ears
in May, here in Escambia County,
Florida. But our main crop, planted
to ripen in midsummer, is more sue
cessful and profitable as a rule.
From our main crop of tomatoes 1
canned u No. 2 tin cans for HON use.
Besides l have filled my pantry shelves
with canned okra, green and lima
beans (six gallons of the latter)
sweet corn, and smaller quantities OF
less staple vegetables and small fruits.
1.-THE fall harvest of our late-planted
vegetables will bring us better prices
in our local markets and our own
home supply being safely stored in
cans. the fall paintings can be a source
Of cash income.
Last week I sold chicken friers at
So cents a pound. Eggs at the same
time were 45 cents q dozen. so the
high cost of feed for poultry does not
alarm u.s."

REDUCE THE MAN POWER.

y In no other business is there great
er opportunity for conserving man
power than on the farm. When
scarcity of labor forces US to give up
the old way of doing things then we
realize that the machine or the team
is the most economical power after
all.
Having no help in running a two
horse farm except a hired boy a few
weeks at the busiest seasons, I have
experienced the value of having the
work so managed as to require as
little hand labor as practicable.
I find corn. small grain, and hay
crops best suited to this system of
farming.I Cotton requires more Ia
Dor than any other general crop and
therefore I plant but a small acreage,
of cotton.
Corn is an easy crop made and
handled. One man with team can
raise a big crop of corn and then seed
the land to small grain without much
drudgery work. If the land is put in
good condition before planting, there
is no need for hoeing-the cultivator
will do the work. The corr harvest
ter and shredder will take care of the

FEED STOCK ON SWEET CLOVER

Farm and FIreside, the national
farm paper published at Springfield,
Ohio, says:
with the exception of alfalfa on
fertile soils, no other leguminous crop
will furnish as much nutritious pas
turage from early spring until late
fall as sweet clover, when it is proper
ly handled. Live stock thrive on it.
Animals which have never been fed
clover may refuse to eat it at
first but this distatste a be overcome
by turning them on the pasture as
as the plants start growth. There
is practically no danger from bloat
from sweet clover.
"When sweet clover has been seeded
two years in succession on separate
fields. the fields sown the first year
may be pastured until. the middle of
June, when the stock should be turned
the spring seeding. When handled
provided throughout the summer and
a hay or seed crop may be harvested
in this manner excellent pasturage is
from the field seeded the previous
season"
