TICK FEVER
WARNING:

ARLINGTON COURTHOUSE,
Va, May IA warning that the
next three months, May, June and
July, are the months in which the
Rocky Mountain spotted fever
ticks are most prevalent. was Is
sued today by DIR: p. NJ. Chi
chester, Arlington county health
officer, along with precautionary
measures that should be taken.
Stating that it has been def
nitely established that the tick Is
known as the means Of transmit
ting the disease, DIR. Chichester
pointed out the three measures
which persons should use to pre-
vent the fever.
First Of these was to avoid ticks:
second, to remove them from per
son as early as possible II they
were contacted, and third was to
be vacctnated against the FEVER.
He further stated: =,
"On camping trips care should
be used in selecting o sitO for
placing the bed, as ticks Will
crawl into q bed laid ON the
ground. The safest camping
ground Is undoubtedly in stand
ing timber where vegetation n
scanty. Avoid proximity to
trails, and old roads, and sage
brush sections; also areas p0pu-
lated by rodents, IS ticks are
most numerous in these places.
Avoid bruShy areas along
streams, as the dog tick Is likely
to be present there.
persons should be especially
watchful when walking along
trails. Il ID especially desirable
to watch the clothing when fol
lowing trails or old roads.
''TwO or three inOculatiOnS
Of the vaccine give q degree Of
protection usually sufficient to
last through one tick season, but
the immunity Is apparently not
permanent"

and which would prove money
maker.
Elzey was native Delawarean
and member Of an old established
| family. His ancestors were promi-
nent In agriculture as FAR back as
1900. Il was not until 1875 that he
proved the success Of producing
sweet potatoes from the sprouts.
Two other men, Martin Collins, OF
near Laurel, and a eolored man
named Samuel Spencer, who lived
in the sandy section near Poftsville,
few miles from Laurel also engage
ed in the potato industry the follow
ing year.
In 1875, Elzey and his son. Luther,
"bedded" six bushels, the following
year they 'bedded" eighteen bushels
and the third year sixty-iive bushels.
This new farming industry attracted
the attention of agriculturalists
everywhere and soon they COM
menced to grow them for commercial
purposes. 81
Prior to that time the sweet DO
tato was more of a garden product
and grown for the use of the family;
just as tomatoes were thirty or forty
years ago. ~
It remained for the Elzeys to COM
mercialiSe them, and since that time
il has meant millions of dollars to
the farmers along the Atlantic Sea-
board. From that time on Laurel
and Delmar have been in the spot
light as sweet potato areas.
No one ever dreamed, except the
Elzeys. that they could be produced
by the thousands Of bushels, stored
away in the winter and shipped TO
all parts of the country. ElEey was
the first man to build a hOthouse for
storing the tubers in the late fall
and keeping them at an even tenn
perature throughout the winter. He
likewise was the first grower to make
a shipment from the Delmarva pen
insula.
Some years later his son Luther |
moved to Exmore, Va. and carried |
the potato industry into the Eastern |
Shore of Virginia where it has be-
come one of the standard crops.
