PERISHINGIN
BIGDR0UGHT
BY ALFRED T. NEWBERRY
international News Service

The suns sizzling rays and rain
less skies today were burning up
crops in the principal agricultural
sections of the nation, drying up
wells and brooks, and menacing
livestock, with little relief in sight.
This is the third time serious
drought has struck the country's
"break basket" in six years, but
"the present urgent need for rain'
however, is more widespread than
was the case in either 1880 or
1884 at this season Of the year.
said Joseph B. Kincer, head OF the
Department of Agriculture's crop
reporting board.
Meanwhile, various Federal agen-
cieS-notably the PWA, and the
Rural Resettlement Admlnlstra'
ton and the Agriculture Depart
ment-were figuring out methods
Of aiding the stricken farmers,
whose crops and livestock have
been ruined or soon will be unless
rain falls over the extensive dry
area.
Kincer said the previous two
droughts were not so critical at
the end Of June but in both cases
they were mos tsevere and caused
the most damage in July and
August. He said:
eat present there is urgent
need for rain nearly everywhere
from Vermont, New York, the
western portions Of Pennsyl-
vania, Virginia, North Carolina
and the northern parts Of the
Gulf States westward and
northwestward to the Rocky
Mountains.
Pasture lands, hay, oats, spring
wheat and truck crops have been
the hardest hit, reports received
here said.
Conditions in the Far West, es-
pecially in the Pacific Northwest
and California, were reported as
being decidedly favorable"
There the grain crops are from
good to excellent and pastures
fine.

to the use of infected meat, meat prod
ucts, sea-foods, milk or to other foods
from infected sources. 1t may be
caused by food infected by human car
riers-unwashed hands-in prepare
ton or in serving; or contaminated by
rats, mice or flies. 1t may also be
caused by toXins-the technical word
for poisons-which develop in certain

eve are all familiar with outbreaks
Of food poisoning that have followed
some community gathering or some
other affair for which large quantities
of fool had to be prepared in advance.
There are certain precautions that
should be observed by those respon-
sible for handling, preparing or serv-
ing food, for affairs of this kind.
Here are some of them:
"Wash your hands thoroughly be-
fore handling any of the food. Have
plenty of water, soap and clean tow
els conveniently at hand for your own
use and for your helpers.
"Be sure all food ingredients are
fresh. Cook thoroughly. Keep the
feed covered and protected from con-
tamination by flies, rates or mice.
Avoid rich foods and indigestible COM
binations.
"Scald your utensils before you use
them; cool them off; pack the more
perishable foods lightly-not solidly-
into the containers in which they are
to be kept until used. Use several
small containers instead of one or
more large-sized ones. Keep on ice
OF in a cool place. Serve from the
smaller containers as needed. Per-
| ishable food taken off the ice and
exposed to the warmer air for some
time before serving will spoil quick
| ly.

DOCTOR Reilly
WARNS AGAINST
FOOD TOXINS
Best Safeguard Against These
Is To Use Meat From
Healthy Animals

Asked what is meant by "food
poisoning" DR.. R. H. Riley, Director
Of the State Department of Health
said: "There are certain diseases that
are contracted in eating or handling
meat from diseased animals, or in
drinking raw milk from diseased cat
tie. While these are due to foods,
they are more accurately described
as food Infections rather than as
food poisonings.' Such diseases in
clue rabbit fever (tularemia), con-
tracted in handling diseased rabbits
or in eating incompletely cooked rab-
bit meat; trichinosis and other diseas-
es contracted through eating raw
sausage or eating incompletely cook
ed pork; undulant fever caused by
drinking raw milk from cattle that
have Bangs disease. We usually hear
CT such diseases through individual
cases.
'The best safeguard against these
diseases is to be sure all meat used as
food comes from healthy animals and
is thoroughly cooked and, as a pre-
ventive against undulant fever, that
all milk used, comes from cattle free
from diseases, is properly handled,
and, as special precaution, is pas
tuerized.
"But ordinarily, when we speak of
food poisoning we think of outbreaks
