7 obacco Crop 1919

Under date September 1, 1929, Mr.
Geo. H. Stevenson, Manager of the
Maryland Tobacco Growers Association
writes:
''We think that it will be of consid
cradle interest to tobacco growers gen
orally to learn that Notwithstanding
the short crop Of tobacco produced last
year, the receipts of tobacco at the
State Tobacco Warehouse for the
month OF August were @735 hogsheads,
which are the largest receipts for any
one month on record in the history of
the Warehouses, as shown by its perma-
rent records. This is accounted for by
the fact that -. II. 80 part of July and
the month of August were unusually
seasonable for handling tobacco, which
had previously been toe dry to pack.
We wish to advise the Tobacco grow
ers, that State Tobacco Warehouse,
Inspector Blackjack is doing every
thing within his power to facilitate the
opening of tobacco, but with this un-
precedented rush, il is inevitable that
all tobacco cannot be opened as soon as
received. 1t is impossible to secure
sufficient number of screw men at this
time. In fact at no time since the sea-
son opened has the warehouse been
able to secure competent labor to oper
ate more than eight out the thirteen
screws available, at one time. The de-
lay in opening the tobacco necessarily
causes delay in getting out numbers
and weights. !"

NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
Flourishing in Small Towns
Throughout Country.

More than $1,000 graduate nurses
have been enrolled In the American
Red Cross to date and its department
Of nursing is daily increasing this en-
rollment.
The department Of nursing has been
authorized to maintain An adequate
reserve of nurses for the army and
navy. It will continue to supply the
needs of the United States Public
Health Service to which it has as
signed more than 1000 nurses in the
last year.
It will assist In establishing proper
nursing service In foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has Or
ganized hospitals, dispensaries and
schools for nurses. Courses in home
hygiene and care Of the sick have been
started for thousands Of women VINO
have never received any education In
this direction. Rural nursing which
was in its infancy a short while ago
has been put ahead at least q decade
through the work Of the department
Of nursing and local Red Cross
chapters.
Public health nursing has been ex-
tended to many rural communities and
now flourishes actively in hundreds Of
small towns and counties. Nearly a
thousand efficient nurses have already
been assigned to this kind of work.
The department of nurSing is unit
ing with other organizations IN q years
campaign in recruiting nurses for
training schools, in educating the gen.
eral public as to standards Of nursing
education and in showing communities
their responsibility toward schools Of
nursing. It will endeavor to meet all
these needs as well as to continue the
enrolment Of dietitians who will be
utilized as instructors in home dietet-
les, in developing nutritional clinics,
and in supplying dietitians for the
United States Public Health Servics
and the civilian hospitals
The Nursing Service will continue to
offer to women and young girls the
opportunity Of securing instruction In
home hygiene and care of the sick In
every community in the country. This
instruction has not only laid the foun-
dation for public health but In some
places has given impetus to the estab-
lishment Of hospitals and community
school houses.
"As community profits by the work
Of the nurse" says Miss Clara d.
Noyes, director Of the department Of
nursing, ''it is logical that the COM
munity should be aroused to its respon-
sibility. The American Red Cross
stands ready to help in q general cam
paign Of recruiting and must have ths
support, sympathy and understanding
Of the medical profession as well -
the intelligent cooperation Of De
people at large"
