Syphilis reported numbered 256

OUTLINES ACTIVITY
OF HEALTH OFFICE
Syphilis and Other Proven
tive Work Carried On
Six Months

In a statement for publication, DR..
A. D. Gregg, county health officer.
has eutlined the activities of his de-
partment in the first half of 1885,
particularly with reference to treat
ment Of the syphilis problem His
statement in full follows:
We read items these days in our
daily papers regarding control of
syphilis and the matching of Federal
funds by local agencies for this type
of work.
Many of our citizens perhaps are
wondering If Vance county will share
in this money and this work.
In order to secure Federal money
to fight syphilis Vance county must
put up a few hundred dollars to
match the Federal fund or in other
in the fight to be willing to pay part
of the cost.
This contribution is made by local
agencies through the county health
department. What are we now doing
in this fight against syphilis? With
our many other programs of public
health We can give only a limited
part of our time to this work. Also
our work is limited by the small
amount of money at our disposal for
this work. The health officer and
nurses give approximately rs per
cent of their time to venereal con-
troll work
For six months January to July,
1888, we have made Wasserman test
for syphilis and 802 persons have
been treated; 40 positive reactors
giving a total of 1920 treatments for
the six minths at very nominal fee
of So per treatment The health de-
partment has $5,46O to its credit. This
work alone almost equals the total
contribution of county and city to
the health department and at practi-
cally no cost to the county except a
few syringes and needles. The Fed
eral health service gave most of the
drugs, approximately $685. for the six
months. We collected a small fee not
over SO cents per week from some pa
tients who had jobs and this helped
to. cover other expenses of the vene-
real clinics.ao /,
A few other preventative measures
carried out by the health department
during the past six months have been
approximately 5000 doses of typhoid
vaccine, completing the immuniza-
ton of $50 persons. This service, if
done by local physicians, would cost
the people of the county approximate
ly $25OO.
We have given 1O2 small children |
cough vaccination, 1877 tox-
Old for diphtheria and vaccinated 485 |
for small pox. All this preventive |
treatment has saved the people of the
county in money value around $4,000.
We hope the county commissioners
see fit to continue the health depart
ment in it's present organization.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1938-07-20

SEASONS HELPFUL
TO TOBACCO CROP
Showers Bring Crop Out
Considerably Within
Past Few Days

Showers during the first part of
this week have been Wy beneficial
to growing tobacco in this section,
according to growers. They report
decidedly better prospect for the
years crop as a result of the favor
able weather they have had in the
past few days.
Some fields have come out in much
better fashion than at one time APP
peared possible. After the prolonged
rainy season in June, a large part of
the crop gave the appearance of
more or less hopeless condition, and
growers were discouraged over pro-
spects, especially in view of the al
ready reduced crop due to slashes in
acreage allotments under the crop
contrib act.
The fact that there has been so
much improvement in the past seve-
raj days does not mean there will be
a crop of normal poundage and quail
ity, but all indications now point to
a much better yield than was antici-
pated several weeks ago.
With curing we'll under way, many
growers have found the leaf has turn
ed out a splendid color, but that it is,
for the most part, rather light in
weight. This, of course will have a
tendency to reduce poundage, what
ever may be the qlotas to be assign
ed in marketing allotments.
Many are of the opinion now that
this years crop will be smaller but
of fair quality, if favorable condi-
tions now prevailing are to continue.

Tobacco AS Money
Crop Is Spurned
By This Planter

Marshall, July 20-George w. Mill
err. county farm agent of the State
College extension service, said he
knows one farmer in Madison county
who turns UP his nose at tobacco as
a money crop.
Although he didn't reveal the grow
er's name, Miller said he makes as
much profit off his apple orchard as
the best tobacco farmers of the
county make off their leaf, and he
won't have any tobacco growing on
his farm.
With three acres in commercial or
chard, this grower made a gross in
come of about $1,000 last year from
his $50 apple trees. After paying all
labor costs and other expenses, the
grower figured he had a net profit of
$500.
Only about half of the trees are in
full production, but the orchard yield
cared-for trees. Some IS of the trees
are 20 years old, and they were spray
co nine times during the year.
The orchard is covered with a
thick sod of grass, and every spring
an application of nitrate of soda is
placed around the trees where the
roots can get the benefit of it.
Miller commented: Like TIMBER ap
pies are slower crop than tobacco,
but once you get good orchard es-
tablished, you can produce a good
crop year after year and real profits
can be made. And those who don't
have commercial orchards should al
least grow all the fruit they need for
home use."
