HARD RAIN MENACE
To TOBACCO PLANTS
No Material Damage Yet,
But More Precipitation
Will Hurt

Drenching rains at the weekend,
especially Friday evening, presented a
menace to growing tobacco, and, while
it was not believed serious damage
was done, the downpour was so severe
that farmers said no more rain was
needed and little more could be with
stood by the young plants in the
growing fields.
Planting has been completed, and
most farmers have good stands in
their fields, due to favorable plant
ing seasons in the past month. The
temperature and the rainfall have
teen suitable, but a little more like
that of Friday night will play havoc
with the good start the crop has made
so Ear
In some localities young plants
were almost drowned by the hard
downpour Friday night, according to
growers who were in town today.
They emphasized that no more rain
was needed at this time.
There has been very little re-plant-
ing because most farms have manag-
ed to obtain good stands for their
crops. But there has been an abun-
dance of plants from plantbeds, most
beds having yielded generously in the
absence of serious blue mold or other
diseases or plant pests this spring
as was the case a year ago.

ABOUT 600 GIVEN

First Week Finds Rather
Light Response by Pub
lie, However

Some 600 individuals were giver
the anti-typhoid serum offered fres
by the county health department a.
the first week of the summer vista
lions to clinical points over the coun-
ty ended today. DR.. A. D. Gregg
health officer, estimated the numbe,
at 600, and added that he though.
the response was meagre except in
spots.
Visitations will be made over a pc
Rod of four weeks, this being thG
first. It was expected there will be
large number of new patients a.
the clinics next week. After that time
it will be impossible for patients to
complete the series of three injections
necessary for the 3mmunization a.
gairst typhoid fever.
Vaccinations against smallpox are
also being offered during the clinical
visitations, as wei as the treatmen:
against diphtheria. There have been
a number of applications for the lat
ter serum, but hardly any at all for
smallpox, DR.. Gregg said.
The work is being carried on by
two groups of agents from the health
J office, going to different locations anc
reg ching a greater number of indi
v.duals in a much shorter time.
| In addition to the clinics held over
