GOOD ADVICE ON
POISONING MELONS
F. M. COMMON, DEVELOPMENT
AGENT OF SEABOARD, TELLS
OF PROPER TREATMENT.

In letter to The News Mr.. F. M.
Conner, development agent for the
Seaboard railroad, who is stationed at
Cordele, enclosed the following article
giving valuable advice to melon grow
ers on the control of anthracnose by
spraying.
| have inspected a great many wa
termelon fields during the past ten
days and have found anthracnose prev
alent in the majority of these fields.
1t is very necessary for melon grow
ers to spray if this disease is found III
the fields
You can detect the disease by watch
ing vines carefully If the leaves turn
brown and die, generally near the base
Of the vine examine a few specimens
If anthracnose is present you can see
without the aid of a magnifying glass
small spores on the underside OF the
leaf. An anthracnose outbreak will
generally be found in patches about
the field. You should Immediately
spray, first the diseased vines, then
the healthy vines with copper lime
dust, which you can obtain from near

not permit you to use power pump,
which probably is the case, use hand
guns. If you haven't hand gun Dor
row one from your neighbor and
spray. 1t is best to be on the safe side.
The whole operation will not cost over
$500 per acre. 1t will save you several
cars of melons.
To those who have late melons |
especially ask that they watch fields
carefully. | have worked with many
melon growers this season on spray
ing for anthracnose and outstanding
results have been accomplished.
Mr.. w. J. Josey of Americas, Ga,
had forty-hve acres of cantoloupes.
Two weeks ago he sprayed IS acres
of the As acres His control is perfect
on those Is acres, whereas on the re-
naming 80 acres anthracnose was be-
ginning to show up during the past
week. He Immediately sprayed and
now has the entire acreage in per-
feet healthy condition.
Dust should not cost you over seven
cents per pound.

CAMPING AND PROBLEM OF FOOD

There is no healthier sport than
camping. During the warm and balmy
spring and summer days, it is real
recreation. To get out in the fresh
air and sunshine, free from worry
and care, enhances the health Of any
one, be he office man, salesman or
what not.
But due to the entirely inadequate
means of food preservation and re-
frigeration found in the majority Of
camps, there is the ever-present dan
ger of sickness from infected foods.
The utmost care must be taken in or
der that this may be avoided. Butter
and eggs should be bought only as used.
The milk is problem in itself. Per-
haps the solution lies in the use Of &
milk other than market milk, in order
that purity and sterility may be as
sured. For such use, evaporated milk
Is ideal. Many people are wont to con-
fuse evaporated and condensed milk
but there is no similarity between the
two. Condensed milk is q combina-
ton of sugar and milk and can be
used only when both of these SUBJ
stances are desired. Evaporated milk
is merely pure, fresh milk with about
sixty per cent Of the water removed
and the nutrient content left intact
1t Is absolutely sterile and pure, hav-
ing been sterilized before leaving the
factory. The water, removed by evap-
Grafton, may be replaced very easily
and the milk returned toits original
volume. Evaporated milk may be OBJ
tanned in small cans, containing six
ounces or in larger ones containing
sixteen and can be taken to the camp
in quantities sufficient for the needs Of
the entire period, thus assuring a con-
slant supply of pure. fresh milk with
out the worry or the danger attached
to the use Of the market product.
Following are recipes for few
dishes that are best adapted for camp
consumption because Of ease Of prepa-
ration, purity and food value.
Tomato Soup.
/ pint tomato pulp " cups water
or canned to- Salt and pepper

slowly with the tomato mixture.

W tsp. pepper Grated cheese
Beat the eggs, add the milk, water
and seasonings. Melt the fat in a fry

stir until the mixture is creamy. When
almost done, sprinkle with grated
cheese. Serve on slices of bread toast
or crackers.

FARMERS REALIZE BIG
RETURNS ON CATTLE

Feeders of stock cattle are as
tonished at the results obtained by
Ryland L. Mitchell and Morgan
Mitchell in feeding eleven head of
cattle the past eight months. In
November, 1924. Ryland Mitchell
purchased from Harris, Smith, Webb
& Company. of Kentucky, eleven
steers which weighed $3.50 pounds.
Exactly six months later Mr.. Mitch
ell sold the bunch to Morgan Mitch
ell, they then weighing 1865
pounds, and exactly, two months
later, Mr.. Mitchell sold them to a
Baltimore packing house and found
them to weigh 1850 pounds, a
gain of 500 pounds in eight
months. The most remarkable gain
was that of one steer which weighed
go pounds at Louisville, 1,460
pounds six months later and 1850
pounds when sold, gain averaging
three pounds every day since the
day it left Louisville. He crossed
profit of S111,50. The cattle were
all Black Poleangus stock. These
gentlemen. veteran cattle raisers,
warn the inexperienced, however,
from accepting these figures as an
indication of usual profits in cattle
attening.-Harford Democrat.

straight win, holding his opponents
to four hits.
On Saturday, Aug. 8, Bel Air will
be the attraction at Rising Sun, and
judging from past scores of these
two teams it should be a game we'll
worth witnessing. Come out fans,

LEADS THE WORLD IN
TELEPHONES

The United States leads the
world in telephones-talks more too
Last year the average American had
184.5 conversations by telephone,
while the average German talked
only 311 times. The Frenchman
had 20.8, the Englishman 20.4, and
the Italian 90 conversations in the
same period of time. In Scandi-
vania a much better showing was
made than elsewhere in Europe.
Denmark led with 1887 CONVEX
|sations per capiaa, while Norway had
1895, and Sweden 95.S. But even
these figures are far behind the
records of the United States in
telephone calls.
There are nearly twice as many
telephones in the United States as
in all the rest of the world put to-
gether. Out or total of 24,576,-
121 telephones in use throughout
the world on January l, 1924, there
were 15,369,454 or 60 per cent, in
the United States of America.
Europe had 6,39O,765 telephones on
that date, or 26 per cent of the
worlds total. The remaining 2,S15,-
9O2 telephones, comprising IL per
cent of the whole, were scattered
throughout Asia, Africa, Oceania
and the Western Hemisphere out
side of the United States.
While this country had one tele-
phone for every people, in all other
countries combined there was but
one telephone for every 1876 in
habitants. The telephone systems
of the world showed net growth of
1,517,291 telephones during 1928.
OF these, S75,601, or we'll ever
half, were added to the telephone
systems of the United States,
On January /, 1894 there was
1871 telephones for every 100
population in the United States, as
compared with S.S in Germany, rs
in Great Britain, LIS in France and
GA in Italy. The countries ap-
preaching nearest to the American
record in this respect were Canada
with Ito telephones per 100 people,
and Denmark with ST.. These fig
ures take on added significance when
it is recalled that most of the teleJ
phones both in Canada and in Den
mark are owned and operated by
private enterprise, as in the United
States, while the relatively under
developed telephone systems of Ger
many, Great Britain and France are
under government ownership. The
Japanese telephone service, which is
also government monopoly, showed
a development of only O.S telephones
per 100 population. Many thousands
of telephones were destroyed in the
earthquake of September 1928, but
prior to that disaster Japan never
attained development of as much
as one telephone for every 100
people.

STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY
ON HAVING MONEY ON HAND

"Aunty. why Is 1t such good thing
to have cash in the bank?" asked Jane
of Aunt Emmy "Mr. Wilkins was
talking to father yesterday and he
said that every one ought to have a
certain amount of cash on hand"
He meant that II you keep some
OF your money in the bank where 1t
can be had any time you might be able
to use it to excellent advantage" said
Aunt Emmy Every now and then a
good opportunity presents itself to
make nice profit in some business
deal II you only have the cash on hanu
so you can act quickly. Don't you
remember about that quarrel the
Brown brothers had over their inheri
ance and to settle it sold that house
in Center Street? Old Peter Haskins
bought it in for $4,000 and the next
week sold 1t for $4,000 If he hadn't
had the cash on hand he never could
have made that handsome profit"
Yes. Aunty that's all right for Mr.
faSklnS, out III never likely TO nave
5000 or $4,000 on hand"
Well there are other little ways to
make profit" said Aunt Emmy For
instance. you can always benefit by
lash discounts That is. if some one
asks you to pay say 500 for thing
YOU can usually get 1t for less. some
times ten per cent less. il you pay at
once in cash You always should
nave some of your money in cash so
that you can take advantage of golden
opportunities and cash discounts

DON'T TAKE CHANCES
From State Dept. of Health.

IOn 0LdLC OGUJ. VI l10d1Ius
Whether you stay at home, or
go away this summer, be inoculated
against typhoid fever" This is the
advice of DR.. r. H. Riley, Chief of
the Bureau of Communicable Di-
seases of the State Department OF
Health.
Here is the rest of his message:
Vaccination against typhoid is an
inexpensive and safe form of health
and life Insurance. The State De-
partment of Health provides the
vaccine to physicians throughout the
State, free of charge. All you have
to do is to pay your physicians fee.
Three NEGOTIATIONS each week,
for three weeks,-are required.
You spend about five minutes
week, for three weeks, and you are
protected against typhoid for from
one to four years.
Typhoid is not limited to any
age group. We have cases on record
at the State Department of Health,
ranging from babies in arms to
great grandfather of eighty or more.
Our figures show that the disease
hits hardest at those who are in
cluded in the age group from five
to. thirty-fve. Out of a total of
7,O11 cases covering a period OF
five years, /5,452 were in these
groups.
Neither is it any respector OF
persons. Fathers, mothers, young
men, young women, boys and girls
are all susceptible.
Typhoid fever is much less COM
mon in the counties of Maryland
than it was formerly. For the first
six months of the year we had l32
cases reported in comparison with
2O7 cases for the corresponding
time last year. During the ten
year period, ending in 1924, typhoid
was cut down from 1850 cases and
1877 deaths in 1924, to 82S cases
and rs deaths in 1924.
"But this was 82S cases too many.
Typhoid is an unnecessary disease.
To get it you take the germ into
your mouth. Water, food, tigners,
and rriers''-persons who have
had the disease and who still carry
the germs in the digestive tract
are the star offenders. In vaccina-
ton against typhoid, you have the
means of safeguarding yourself
against the whole quartet.
"What we call the peak OF the
typhoid season comes from the end
of July to the early part OF October.
One-half of the total cases that we
have during the whole year, may be
expected at that time. We are be-
ginning now to hear of cases that
have. been contracted in various
ways. Some among stay-at-homes,
others among some of our young
people who have come back from
trips or vacations spent in sup
posedly safe places. Some of these
attacks will inevitably end fatally;
others will mean long, serious
illness.
Experiences of this sort show
the urgency of vaccination against
typhoid. My advice to every reader
of this paper is: If you haven't
been vaccinated against typhoid
within the last two years, go to your
doctor and have it done this week.
Don't take any chances"

ION this basis the estate suffered a
reduction from SIS, 100000 to approx
mately $3.574.000. thus wiping out all
assets except the corporate stock and
placing heavy loan on that. Mr.
Brown had one son and, as he thought
OF John Henry. Jr.. toiling away with
little hope of opportunity he deter
mined that he would not subject his
own son to the same tribulations
Boom times having come. there
was no difficulty obtaining a pur.
chaser for Walter Brown C Co.. and
the California real estate was sold at
good price. The whole was invested
In tax-6xempt bonds which yielded a
very safe return of about Az per cent
: Walter Brown then moved his legal
residence to the more friendly climate
AQf Florida. where state inheritance
and income taxes are forbidden.
'The country suffers by the loss of
effort which Walter Brown might have
continued to expend under a more in
telligent system of taxation. We must
reform the tax system in such a way
that business and industry shall not
be hampered We must make sure
that American citizens shall not be
deprived of the incentive to work and
accumulate and that this country shall
MT cease to be land of opportunity
A tax system which discourages ini
Mative cannot be the right system for
America"
