These points listed above are ac-
tual farm practices that are being
carried out on most farms that we
visited on this dairy tour through

practical for Alfalfa County as thsy
are for any state or county in the
United States, and believe If more
of these practices were carried out
on our farms, there would be very
little need for a relief fund from
the government for our farmers be-
cause we would have more to sell
and less to buy.

Practical Suggestions

Out of the 1900 miles that
travelled to see how other farmers
made a living, l don't know of
anything that would do me more good
than to put the things we saw of a
practical nature into practice on our
farmers and to travel 1900 more
miles. This dairy tour carried us to
many farmers that had crops and
equipment that are just as practical
for Attala and Holmes county and
other counties of Mississippi as they
are for that section. The practices
that | saw being carried out on this
tour that l think will increase the
farm income in Attala county are
as follows:

Narrative Reort of Holmes
County Health Dept.

Mrs. Martha S. Parker resigned or
September 14th. She had been work
ing in the Health Department here
for about nine years. Her diligence
efficiency, and interest in the work
have been so characterized that we
regret very much having her leave
the Health Department. It may be
that at some later date that she will
again be a member of the Holmes
County Health Department.
Mrs. Nettie o. Turner has been
visiting us as supervisory nurse from
the State Board of Health. She was
here the two weeks beginning Sep
TENDER 10th. We regret very much
we did not have a new nurse here
during her very instructive work with
US. However, we do hope that she
can be with us again sometime soon.
She gave a very interesting talk on
follow-up work and syphilis during
our regular Friday morning con-
ference on September 9th.
DR.. A. L.. Gray, State Epidemiolo-
gist, gave a very short visit during
the month.
Miss Elise Smith, Supervisor of
Crippled Children's Nursing Service,
was with US a few days in Septem-
Der. She demonstrated some very
very important exercises and gave
advice to the crippled children that
came in on the days scheduled.
Your Health Department renders
173 distinct and separate services
of which records are kept. 1t is our
endeavor to render every service
possible in the prevention Of disease
and prolongation of life and, Of
course, we wish to do so with all
reasonable economy. However, we
do hope that every service that we
have rendered has been of a salts
factory nature. In ~tabulating the
activities for the first nine months
of this year, we find that 29,442
services have been rendered by your
Holmes County Health Department.
These services have been rendered at
IN average cost of 20 cents each.

1t is our understanding that the
usual charge for making a blood
test for syphilis in an independent
laboratory is $500. Thanks to the
cooperation of the State Board Of
Health and. with appreciation par
ticularly to DR.. Kicks. We report
that SLOT blood samples have been
tested for syphilis this year. If we
should figure these blood tests at
one-half of the above stated price
for examination, your Health Depart
ment would then show a net profit
Of $6,862.50 above the total direct
cost to the taxpayers of Holmes
County for the entire operating ex-
penses of your Health Department
for the first nine months of this
year. At this rate we could show a
profit of $4,000 a year and, of
course, this is only one of the most
frequently requested service of the
IT'S services rendered.
Following is a brief statistical sum-
mary of some of the activities of the
Health Department during Septem-
Der.
