DIPTHERIA VACCINATION

For years physicians have been
experimenting to discover some
way of preventing diptheria.
And why should they not sue
coed? Two hundred years ago
smallpox carried off hundreds of
thousands Of people yearly and
many persons who recovered
were peck marked for life. To
day we know that vaccination
has practically wiped out this
dreadful disease.
A comparatively recent discov-
cry made by DR.. Schick bids fair
to rid the world of diptheria in a
few years. This is known as
the Schick or Toxin antitoxin
vaccination. 1t is a certainty
that diptheria can be prevented
for five years by this means and
may be for life.
It can be given to all children
between the ages of one and five
years with out the Schick test
which is a test given to older chill
dren and to adults to find out if
theya are immune. A largepercent
of older children and adults are
naturally immune to diptherla
from one cause or another and
can be determined by test call
ed the Schick test, which If pos
tive shows no resistance to dip
liberia while if negative it shows
a natural immunity and vacclna'
ton is unnecessary.
The injections are given one
week apart in the same manner
as typhoid vaccination. Children
are not made sick by it as some
times happens after smallpox
vaccination and often after typ
hold, at most the children may
suffer from a painful spot on the
arm which disappears in from
thirty six to forty-eight hours.
1t is planned to establish dispen'
saries at several places in the
County within the next few days
where Toxin. antitoxin and other
vaccine may be given. The dates
and places of the dispensary viii
be announced later.

County Health Officer.

where is Cotton Going To"

Where is cotton going tor
you ask. The old law of supply
and demand will decide. The
present prospect is for about half
of the 1920 production which
year ago had a condition of but
CTS per cent prospect. In ask
ing the farmer Where is cotton
going TOP he thinks Of the pro-
duction and per acre return,
viii oh will average the lowest in
many years or in history, for at
20 cents per pound, it will aver
age but $500 an acre based on
the 1877 pound present prospect.
The question to the business man
enormously means that the farm.
ers have a brighter outlook for
paying their heavy debts.
During the past month, the
cotton forecast declined |, 1866, 900
bales or Is. A per cent IN condition
making the present crop forecast
only 1887, 900 bales. The further
decline in North Carolina alone
would reduce that figure to below
the seven million mark. Think
of a national crop average of but
1913 per cent condition. No Won
der the spectators made a
killing" on the first of the
month. For their privately col
'lected estimates, the result of
the government reports was in
evitable. These careful traders
bought heavily and cashed in on
the advance.
The North Carolina cotton crop
prospect shows an unusual his.
tory too. The cold spring neces-
STATED replanting or abandon
ment. The so per cent decreased
usage of early and late applica-
tons of fertilizers has had its
effect. Nature has aided the
farmers need for decreased pro-
duction Of cotton. The extreme
ly dry weather caused fruiting
to cease and heavy shedding.
The state crop declined Is per
cent during the last month, and
since the date reported, has
taken sympathy with the crop
across the border by declining
still more. The prospective yield
is 210 pounds per acre as COM
pared with a normal or full crop
yield of $40 pounds established
for this date. The 532, 600 bales
compared with 912, 900 made last
year.
The boil weevil damage over
the belt is very bad and combin-
ed with weather conditions,
makes the condition the worst in
history. In parts of Oklahoma
and northern Texas, the crop de-
clined rs to 30 per cent during
August. Fortunately, the best
conditioned belt in this state runs
through the most intensive cot
ton area but even there the
farmers complain of prematur-
ing and heavy loss of bolis and
squares. Last year at this date,
many counties had no opened
bolls. Now the same territory is
picking the second time. There
is no late crop.
