Needs
In Rural South
Told by Speaker

Durham, Aug. 5.-Dr. John F.
BrOWnsberger, chairman of the coun-
Gil on professional practice of the
North Carolina Hospital association
and chief surgeon of the Mountain
SanatOrium and hospital at Fletcher
said this morning in an address al
Duke university that there is obvious
need in rural areas for more super
vision and better trained midwives
and suggested the need for the es-
tablishment Of training centers for
midWives in the South.
This should be dcne, he told those
attending the southern institute for
hospital administrators, until such
time when the physicians can pro-
vide medical service for all the peo-
pie in all areas Of the south. It would
be advantageous, he said, if all public
health nurses working in rural areas
were trained as midwives, in order
that they might more adequately
supervise the granny midwives
who by the thousands practice in
rural areas of the south.
DR.. Brownsberger gave examples
of methods which can be used in
schools of nursing IN order to incor-
porate in the basic curriculum the
!; rural public health needs. Many
schools could we'll study methods o1
integrating rural health teaching
throughout the basic course.
"May the day soon arrive when
well trained rural minded nurses will
flood our needy rural areas and hea'
to hasten the day when every man
woman and child, white or black, ir
our great southland, shall receive his
or her share of skilled medical anC
nursing service in times of illness
and every Child born in our southern
states shall have an equal right tc
health and happiness" he declared
DR.. Brownsberger said that in ter
| southeastern states over $1,000 mid.
wives are licensed to practice, or ar
| average of 2,1OO in each state. Vir.
ginia, for example, licenses $500
midWives, he pointed out. Kentucky
reports the lowest number of train.
ed urse-midwives, only twelve.
/; "The Well-trained, superior nurs,
midwife" declared DR.. Brownsberge
''could we'll be the forerunner O.
physicians and hospitals until tn,
time when the ideal in medical car,
is reached. Should not the South op
crate some midwifery schools for ou
! graduate nurses? Sponsored and con
| trolled by the state boards of health
such schools organized in connection
with our larger medical center
would aid in correcting the distress
ing situation in our midst"

after he had been recognized from
the floor and had launched into a
brief and somewhat impaSSiOned
oratorical plea for crop control.
E. F. Arnold, secretary of the
Farm Bureau, read his annual re-
port. That, too, was received by the
membership and others present
without apparent zest.
The tobacco growers may have
crop control next year. They may
even be worked up later over prices
to the point where something will
be done about marketing this sea-
sons bumper yield. It is much too
early to predict anything about it.
Reports from the Border Belt
are too fragmentary to form any
real opinion about the price trend
in weeks to come. That "18-cent'
opening may fade out as more leaf
is dumped on the floors. Anything
can happen, but it is completely
obvious from yesterdays failure to
get excited that Tar Heel growers
are not going to be stampeded one
way or the other until they know
what's going to happen.
They stayed away from Raleigh
in tremendous members yesterday
and those who did come were much
more anxious to get back home and
start preparing 18-cent tobacco for
market than they were to hear
about how to prevent the big COM
panies from stealing" the crop.
Several Of them told your cor
respondent that even if the price
should drop, as low as Is or 16
cents they will make as much
money this year as they did last
and after all that's what they're in
terested in much more than in the
price per pound. They said that not
,nly have they more tobacco to
sell, but that its production cost
per pound is much lower this year
than last year because of the Won
derful yield per acre.
And so, they contend, even should
the price decline five or six cents
the pound from last years 22-cent
(plus) average, they will do pretty
we'll, thank you.

Resolution
Outstanding

In the Sir Waiter Hotel.
Ry HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, August 5.-A resolution
scribbled with the stub of penny
pencil on piece of pasteboard used
by a laundry to preserve the smooth
ly ironed appearance of a shirt
has turned out to be the most loud
ly praised of all the means read at
the sessions of North Carolina far
mer folks at the State College Home
and Farm Week.
It's author, w. L. Lyerly, of
Woodleaf, Rowan county. The reso-
luton, free from high-sounding
sonorous, meaningless phrases, but
straight from the heart and to the
point:
"From the beginning of time, even
until now, the soil has sustained the
human family. And from the soil
all generations vino may come af-
ter us, shall receive their sustenance.
"The rise and fall of empires,
Kingdoms and nations can be traced
to the way in which agricultural
enterprises of the people were car
ried on.
''The future strength and sta
bility of this great nation depend
upon this same basic industry.
''Unless we, of this generation, see
to it that agriculture is given our
first and most serious considera-
ton. state and national decline will
begin.
1--WE, the farmers and farm
women of North Carolina, in con-
vention assembled, pledge this con-
Sider9tiOn and IlO urge all Officia1S
in their respective places of trust,
to do all in their power to promote
any and all practical methods and
programs for the conservation and

son is an oil, cardol, it is best dis
solved in one of these substances.
Of all the local applications to re-
lieve discomfort, the best is carbo-
lated and mentholated calomine To-
tion. Cold water is almost as good ;
In fact, when the discomfort be-
comes almost intolerable it may
work best.
Prevention Important
Prevention, then, assumes most
Importance. We have showed there
is proof Of the fact that only about
one-third Of all people are highly
susceptible These can be detected
by the application Of the virus to the
unbroken skin. This fact is ex-
tremely important, because military
encampments, scout camps, ETC.,
have been entirely disrupted by Sc
we're epidemics of rhus poisoning.
In 1916 Duncan first advocated
the ancient folk remedy of chewing
the leaves Of the plant, but this
causes too violent stomach upset
This was improved by using an al
coholic extract of the leaves. Prep
arations of this kind can be obtained
from pharmacists. I have heard the
personal testimony of a number of
people to the effectiveness Of this
method of prevention.
One woman who wanted to ac-
company her husband on hiking and
hunting trips used to suffer tor
lures, so that for several years she
desisted. After using an extract by
mouth she was able to go into the
woods and even deliberately expose
herself to the plant without any ill
effects. But, in general, the testi-
mony is against the effectiveness OF
these oral administrations.
Preventive Methods
Maisel advocates the use of a bath
in which about four drops of the ex-
tract is placed in ten gallons of
water, and this amount gradually
increased. This might be valuable
in selected cases, as for instance,
one Of his-a Boy Scout leader who
had an attack every time he went
with his troop, and who found no re-
lief in injections.

THE ERUPTION of poison ivy
or poison oak, once seen or expert
enced, can never be forgotten. The
angry, blistery appearance of the
skin looks as bad as it feels.
When the eruption has actually
occurred, its treatment is most un-
satisfactory. The fact that in Mac
Nair's book on "Ivy Dermatitis" he
lists seven pages Of vaunted RENE
dies proves this. It is a pretty good
rule that when there are more than
three sure-fire remedies for any
thing, none of them is very good.
Most recommended is first to
wash the skin affected with benzine,
alcohol or ether soap. Since the poi

Answer = The medical man does
not know very much about lymphatic
leukemia. All the available infor-
nation about it will be found in any
comprehensive encyclopedia.
F. R.: "What is potassium used
for as a medicine? What is bromide
used for as a medicine? Are iron
lied yeast tablets good for people
who have high blood pressure?"
Answer-Potassium alone is not
used in medicine. Many potassium
salts are used, as potassium iodide,
potassium bromide, potassium ci-
trate and potassium acetate.e Bro
mides are used in medicine as seda-
tives, particularly for epilepsy.
Ironized yeast will not help high
blood pressure unless anemia is
also present.
M. T.: "How can become perma-
nently rid of corns? I have been
pairing them for about three months.
Should I stop this practice?
Answer: Corns are almost invari-
ably caused by bad-fitting shoes or
thin stockings or a combination.
PAIRING does no harm.
L. r.: 81 have had a tooth re-
moved from the lower side of the
mouth. I would like to know if it
would benefit me by having a new
tooth put in?"
Answer: Yes. The loss Of the
tooth weakens the entire arch of the
jaw, and endangers other teeth.
