In the many miles of TERRITORY in
spected during the survey there was
probably an average of one to sew
eral OF these mosouito-breedjno

the wet depressions were the more

that depressions had been drained

property owners, farmers and farm
tenants have apparently not vet real
ized that drainage for health rea-
sons is in many instances lust as
important as for agricultural pur-
poses.
Malaria has already cost the farm
families many times over what it
would have cost to do the MOSQUITO
drainage work, and after the seasons
crops are laid by there is plenty of
spare time to accomplish such work.
We find easily drainable ponds in
depressions in and near cotton fields
relatively close to farm homes with
history Of malaria in the fanlilyl
This is common even where the to-
tai cost Of draining the pond is less
than the actual cost of malaria to
the family. Such sources Of anoph-
eles which are very numerous
throughout the southern half of our
county should be drained as soon as
labor is not urgently required for
farm work. In case of doubt re-
garding grades or drainage posi-

Growing Satsuma organges is
the Waycross JournaI-Herald's
long suit, as witness this from a
recent issue:
THE talk made by r. Lloyd
Scott to the Lions in regard to the
Sat suma orange is one that
should be read very carefully by
the people in this section. Mr..
Scott says that this immediate sec
ton is ideal in it's natual advan-
tages for the growing of this
orange. As to the market, only
about one-bundredth part of the
present demand is being satisfied.
As to competition, the only orange
on the market at the time the Sat.
suma season is on is the cold stor-
age orange, which really cannot
compete with the Satsuma."

COAL SHORTAGE AND
HIGH PRICES CONTINUE.

Coal is figuratively speaking go
ing to make it pretty hot dor the
Republican administration next
winter, present conditions indi-
cate. It is announced more or less
officially that consumers of an
thracite must not expect any APP
preciable recession in prices they
have been paying since early last
autumn; that is, from SIS to $25
a ton, depending on the section of
the country in which it was pur-
chased and upon whether or not
it could be obtained at any figure.
The production of anthracite
between April 1, 1922, and March
II, 1928, as reported by the u. S.
Coal Commission, was 52,352,OO0
net tone. This was 32,964,O0O
tons less than the output in the
same relative period of 1922.
The proportion Of coal suitable for
domestic use was the same in the
total production of 1922 as in
that of the previous year. The
country enters the year beginning
April l with a shortage Of 40 per
cent, compared with the tonnage
mined in 1922. Unless this de-
ficiency is supplied during the
summer, as now seems unlikely if
not impossible, the public Will have
to face another winter of famine,
profteering, and positive suffering.
Blame for the hardships which
the people will have to endure
next winter viii be placed on the
administration. The public has
been led to expect-rightly or
wrongly-that the U. S. Coal Com
mission established by the last
Congress and the law enacted at
the same time "to prevent prof.
teering in coal" will bring relief
from scarcity and gougihg, but if
their experience of last winter is
repeated, their resentment win be
carried to the polls in November
1924.

Saver of Salt

Oh, the breeze blows salt from the

Where the graybaeks roll and the
gray gull screeches,
And it's | would sail the salt seas

A deep-sea salt and an ocean rover.
It's I would hear the taut stays sing

And watch the stars, from the fore
top swinging,
With salt spray flying, the salt wind
shrieking,
The white wake boiling, the steel
plates creaking!
Where shall we go for our honey
incoming?
Not where the soft lard-brceze is
grooming,
But out at sea, out at sea together, =
Salt sea-lovers in the salt sea-
weather.
For it's you that know how the great
dep calls you
And that have no fear Of what tate
befalls you,
So we'll walk the decks where the

With the smack of salt in our care
free kisses.

OVER MILLION PERSONS
ABANDON FARMING.

Republican management Of Fed
eral affairs and two Republican
tariffs have not availed to make
farming more profitable or other
wise attractive, it is indicated by
figures just issued from the De-
partment.of Agriculture. The net
migration from the farms of the
country to urban centers in 1922
was 100000. This number is
equal to the combined popula-
ton of Detroit, the fourth city of
the Union, and Trenton, New
Jersey.
In all some 100000 men, wo-
men and children abandoned farms
for the towns and cities in the
twelve months of 1922 but this to-
tai was offset by the shift of about
$4,000 persons from urban cen
ters to agricultural communities.
There were $4,000 births on
farms, against 265,0OO deaths.
This excess of births over deaths
reduced the net loss in the agri-
cultural population to 100000.
For the last two years Ameri-
can farmers have been unable to
get back even the cost Of produce
ton when they shipped their crops
to market. Most of them are in
solvent and thousands are in pow
erty. The Fordney-McCumber
proftecrs' tariff has increased the
cost of the farmers food, clothing
furniture hardware, materials and
equipment of all kinds. This in
crease in the prices of all com
modities has been a good deal
more rapid and much more signif-
cant than the advance in the price
Of his products.

have an immediate effect in reduc
ing malaria prevalence in Sumter
county.
In many instances the road pipe
culverts on the county highways are
at such elevation as to form ponds
alongside Of the road. Some of these
are near residences and are prolific
sources of (anopheles) the malaria
mosquito
All three types of anopheles, or
malaria conveying mosquitoes, are
emerging from the puapa at the
present time
Many wet wooded valleys produc-
ing anopheles in quantity contain
shallow water only three to six inch
| es deep but this water is spreading
over widths of from ten to several
hundred feet, as there is no definRa
channel for the water to follow.
Ponds overflow through such areas
into other ponds at time of rain, but
after the storm water has left the
flow through a total of many square
miles of such territory could be de-
fined to bitches one or two feet wide
and thus reduce malaria.
1t is evident, therefore, that the
major portion of the present malaria
prevalence is due to causes that are
not difficult nor expensive to rem
edy and which might be classed as
minor drainage operations. In many
instances the land reclaimed will
produce income, while today it is
not producing anything but taxes.
| In some places the breeding areas
have already been partially drain
ed and small amount Of additional
work regarding bitches Will eliminate
all standing water.
The owners of these properties do
not yet realize the losses they in
cur due to existing conditions.
There are depressions on some
lands where vertical drainage will be
found to be more economical than
surface drainage.
