LESS DOCTORS IN THE COUNTRY
Demands That People Do More to
Kean Well and Prevent Disease

"There never has been time"
says the State Board Of Health, "when
there were as many good reasons for
preventing disease and preserving
health on the par tof individuals and
families as now. The necessity OF
keeping well and preventing sickness
from a patriotic point Of view and
duty has before been given; health
conservation as we'll as the economic
loss sustained by the country through
illness and inefficiency are other sub
iects not altogether new. But the
Importance Of learning how to keep
we'll and to prevent disease for the
reason that there may be such a
scarcity of doctors that treatment
may be difficult to get, is view not
vet considered or taken into account
by the public generally.
"That there are less doctors grad
uating at the various medical col
leges than in many years past is not
the only reason why this is neces-
sary. The country in some parts is
already feeling the drain that is being
made upon the medical reserve corps
by the army and navy, and yet our
part in the war has scarcely begun.
Furthermore, the medical students
graduating this year cannot be expect
ed home to make good the shortage
of those having already entered the
army or navy service as very large
number have alea1y planned to en-
ter government service"
The State Board Of Health believes
that if every North Carolinian will
&C his duty this summer: not only by
his own health but by the health Of
the public, particularly those depend
ent upon him, that the State will not
suffer for medical attention and tnat
the health of the people will net only
not suffer, but will show decided
gains and improvements over pr'.vi-
Gus years. That towns and commun-
tiles, as we'll as individuals, will make
no effort to stamp out typhoid, dys-
entery and other summer diseases in
the face of such conditions is mex
plicable to the Board. And that they
will take no steps to control such a
debilitating disease as malaria, when
it may be controlled in number of
ways, seems to the Board not only a
poor shw Of patriotism but very poor
business ability.

Americas 1917 wheat crop, as fore.
cast Friday by the Department OF
Agriculture will fall far below nor

A total yield estimated at 656,-

years crop but with the heavy de-
mands from abroad and virtually no
reserve store, it will not meet war

The department forecast spring
crop of 283 100000 bushels, big

production give a crop of only 373,-

was forecast from the May condi-
ton, but still far from the, normal

self normally uses more than oOo,-
900 900 bushels. At the beginning
of 1916, there were 164,OOO,0eO bush
els on hand carried over from the
previous years record crop.
Some relief is seen in the better
showing this year in the FORECAST OF
rye, which will be record crop; oats
and barley. A large corn crop also
undoubtedly will be grown.
Winter wheat last fall was plant
ed on one of the largest acreages ev-
er recorded but severe winter con-
ditions caused almost one-thlrd OF
the area to be abandoned. The April
forecast was only 430,000,O00 bush
els. Mays forecast showed a reduc-
tion of $4,000 900 bushels. Today's
FORECAST, based on June conditions
showed Improvement of 100000
bushels over May with a total of
5000 900 bushels. The final out
turn may be above or below that
figure.
Spring wheat, the June report
shows, was planted on an area almost
as large as that of 1915, when a
record csop of 352,OOO,0O0 bushels
was grown. The condition Of that
crop on June l was almost two points
below the. 10 year average, indicat-
ing a production of only 2S3,O00,OO0
bushels. With favorable growing
conditions the production may reach
greater proportions by harvest time.
Indications are for a crop of oats
third in size in the country's history,
and for crop of rye exceeding the
record by 100000 bushels.
