The charge of politics is de-

opinion in gradually getting
around the expenditure of
huge relief funds may be more of
a political liability than an asset.

slider unjust treatment and talk

While the writer of this column
is no astute politician, and readily

dollars for relief purposes during

July. Just before leaving the capt.

message. stressing the fact that
additional funds might be nec-

Senator Byrd, of Virginia,
Chairman o. the Senate Commit

will save hundreds of millions of
dollars. The Junior Senator from

governmental reorganization and
initiated the move for the creation
of a special committee to study
the operations of government, to
the end of eliminating duplicate

of the WPA a fairly plain reply

perhaps indications that opposi-

EROSION CONTROL
CHECK TO FLOODS
Soil Conservation Distinct
Contribution to Proven
ton of Floods

Washington, Nov. 19.-Because soil
erosion control measures have dis
tinct contribution to make to flood
control, the part of farmers in flood
prevention and control cannot be
minimized, says H. H. Bennett, Chief
of the Soil Conservation Service, in
"Conservation Farming Practices and
Flood Control" new publication OF
the Department of Agriculture.
Except for the oceans" Bennett
writes, "there is no reservoir for
water so vast and effective as the
soil. It is this great reservoir that the
farmer can utilize in his contribution
to flood control"
"By slowing down the runoff OF
rainwater in order to curb erosion,
the farmer automatically reduces the
volume and velocity of water which
might otherwise contribute to floods, !"
he says. Similarly, the soil which is
held on the land by erosion control
methods is kept out of the streams,
where it would reduce the water-car-
rying capacity of the channels and
fill up costly reservoirs"

changes in the cropping system. Sc
Gus losses will continue until adequate
means of control are developed.
Continues cropping with row crops
has depleted the soil of elements not
supplied by ordinary fertilization.
Some of these deficiencies have been
corrected by applying copper sui
phate,, magnesia, manganese, zinc,
and boron.
But it is doubtful if all deficiencies
can be satisfactorily and permanently
corrected without changes in the pre-
sent cropping systems to provide in
creasing amounts of organic matter
in the soil, Dr. Winters stated
In seeking information that may be
used in developing programs to con-
serve and build up the soil, the ex-
pertinent station in cooperation with
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
has been making soil surveys and
mapping soil conditions in the differ
ent counties.
The experiment station has also
published a number Of bulletins on
the classification and evaluation of
North Carolina soils, and is continu-
ing this work. 1t is also studying va
rious factors which tend to increase
erosion in certain areas.
But this has only scratched the sur
face, Dr. Winters said; there yet re-
mains a great deal of work to be
done.

n. c. BOARD WARNS
OF RABBIT FEVER
Nine Cases of Tularemia
Already Reported In
Parts of State

Raleigh, Nov. 19.-The months of
November, December and January be-
ing the rabbit season in North Caro-
lima, and there having been already
nine cases of tularemia, or rabbit
fever" reported to the State Board of
Health, the board is calling attention
to the danger of this disease and the
means of avoiding coming in contact
with it. While there has been no death
reported from tularemia in North Car
DINA for the past two years, one
death was reported for each of the
years 1882, 1888, and 1894. Fifteen
cases of the disease were reported last
year.
Tularemia is primarily a disease OF
wild rabbits, and is found in ground
squirrels and other rodents. The in
lection is contracted by man mainly
hy handling infected animals and
their carcasses, the infection usually
entering the PERSONS blood stream
from some abrasion on the hand. The
first symptoms are usually headache,
chills, body pains, vomiting and fever
and inflamed painful swellings at the
site of the infection. Fever lasts from
2 to weeks, and convalescence drags
along with weakness for several
months, sometimes year. Fatalities
from this disease are rare, but the
illness and suffering it produces
should cause it to be carefully avoid
ed. One attack in man leaves i'm
nounity.
The State Board of Health advises
prevention of this disease by wearing
rubber gloves when dressing or hand
ling wild rabbits, especially when
preparing them for the market. Rab-
bit meat is safe and wholesome, even
when the rabbit has tularmeria, il
it is thoroughly cooked before eat
ing. However, the killing and eating
of rabbits that can easily be run down
by a man or dog is not advised.

FARM REAL ESTATE
POSITION IMPROVES
Emergency Financing By
Government Steadily
Being Displaced

Washington, Nov. 19.-Demand for
farms has improved, and there are
fewer farm mortgage foreclosures and
fewer tax delinquencies, the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics reported
today in a printed circular, '"The
Farm Real Estate Situation, 1885. :"
Emergency financing by government
tai agencies is steadily giving place to
more normal activities in the f1eld
of mortgage credit. Private agencies
are beginning to lend money some
what more freely on farm security.
To increase in voluntary transfers
of farms last year was the largest re-
corded since the beginning of the up
yard trend four years ago. The fire.
quency of such transfers reached a
level about like that before the de-
preston. In the year ended March Is,
1886, it is estimated that approximate
ly "a farms per thousand of all farms
were transferred through voluntary
sale or trade. This compared with
about 10 farms per thousand a year
previous.
Low interest rates are playing a sig
nificant part in farm financing The
market rates on farm loan bonds are
the lowest in a generation; they are
markedly lower than at any time
since the World War. Should these
low rates continue over an extended
period, they would be an important
factor acting in the direction of high
er farm land values, the Bureau said.
Farm real estate values in the
United States rose four percent last
year and are II percent higher than
they were in the spring of 1888, the
Bureau said.
The Corn Belt States as a group re-
ported the largest increase in land
values during the past year, averag-
ing nearly eight percent; the wheat
and grazing area of the West showed
an average five percent gain, the Cot
ton Belt averaged three percent; and
the hay and dairy States averaged
two per cent.
