AMERICAN MACHINERY
On AUSTRALIAN FARMS
United States IL Second to Canada In
supplying Agricultural Implc-
ments to British Possession.

The United States Is second to
canada in supplying farm machinery
10 Australia and its position in the
trade is steadily improving. Eleven
million dollars worth of such machin
cry is required annually by Australian
farmers, of which seven million dol
lars worth is manufactured at home
and four million dollars worth i'm
ported according to bulletin issued
yesterday by the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce, Department
of Commerce.
While the present demand for farm
machinery is substantial. the govern
ments report points out the fact that
in the normal course of events Aus
traIla is destined to become much
more attractive market for such ar
ticles. The increasing efficiency of
farm tractors should eventually prove
most important factor In developing
the agricultural resources Of the coun-
try, In spite of the present difficult
ties in the path of the average Ameri-
can manufacturer, the market de-
serves the utmost attention, especial
ly on the part of those who produce a
fair number of the machines most
favored by the Australian farmer
The home manufacturers are favored
by the fact that much of the land
is not cleared of stumps. so that A
stump Jump feature Is necessity IN
most implements. Canadian and
Amrican manufacturers have never
been obliged to specialize on such a
feature. where as the Australian man
ufacturer has given 1t attention for
years. This and other disadvanta ces
are discussed at length in the report
for the benefit of manufacturers and
exporters who are PLANNING to extend
their Australian and New Zealand
trade as soon as normal conditions
are restored. Conditions governing
agriculture are fully described, as are
the methods of carrying on the trade

State Board of Health Calls Attention
TO Danger, and Suggests Simple
Remedies.

This is one of the months when
Virginia usually suffers most heavily
from typhoid fever At this time
Of stress, when so much depends on
as clean a bill of health as possible
for Virginia, the state board OF health
calls attention to the fact that the
spread of disease can be prevented If
the people Will heed the oft-repeated
WARNINGS and take the simple precau-
tons that have been found to be most
effective.
TWO bulletins that have been issued
by the board, bearing particularly on
this subject, would be of inestimahle
valhe 10 householders especially.
Those who will make disc of them
may obtain copies by sending their
names and addresses to the state board
.of health
SO many doctors and nhrses have
left Virginia. and so many more are
soon to 60. for service in the army
and navy. that it Is imperative for
every Nirgiuian to add 10 what he re-
CARDS as nit bit" measure of pub
lie health work. Anything done to inn
prove health conditions i'm this state,
the health board points out is pa
trtottc service of a very important
sort
The bulletins referred to show in
non technical language how typhoid
originates and how it may be prevent
ed Typhoid fever is a disease OF
Nth" saws one of the bulletins 1T,
is spread only by germs which leave
the body Of a person who -has-ar has
had the disease. Dirt, bad odors. stale
food and the like cannot themselves
cause typhoid. unless contaminated
by human Nth. Typhoid comes only
from man, all the typhoid germs in
the world came from the bodies of
human beings.
The first rule of typhoid proven
ton. and the all Important one, is to
place all human NTH where it can
not possibly be touched by anything
that will carry it to man. Lives are
lost every year in Virginia because
when typhoid appears IN "a family no
steps are taken to prevent Its spread
to others
The bulletins clearly show how the
mem ers of family may be protect
ed when typhoid does appear. as well
as how TO prevent il In the first place.

CONDITIONS IN GERMANY
SAID TO BE CRITICAL
tBy the Associated Press)

Copenhagen, Sept. 1.-THE Ger
man socialist party and the trades
union sent communication to
Chancellor Won Hertling recently
pointing out growing dissatisfaction
among the population because of
insufficient food.
In the communication as published
in the Socialist newspaper. Vor-
waertz, ON. Monday. the conditions
are characterized as critical.
;, The workers and middle class Of
the populace are presented as unable
to pay for food that is most neces-
sary for them and physical exhaus-
tion has been caused with increasing
mortality among children and the
aged.
The statement asserted that the
winter supply of potatoes will be only
seven pounds weekly. It added that
the government is aware of the ex-
citement among the population and
it declares the situation will become
serious II the government does not
cease favoring the producing class
and provide sufficient food for the
population.
