trio service through the rural electri-
fication administration should not
miss this opportunity as the present
unsettled world conditions and the
government starting into the produc-
ton of war material, it is entirely
possible that funds for this program
will be greatly curtailed, if not elimi-
mated entirely.
It is hoped that $50 or 400 addition
al members can be obtained in the
three counties.
If the farmers want electric SER
vice to be made available under this
project, it is necessary that they act
promptly and sign their membership
by June 18th.
1t will be necessary to start the
survey after that date and the pro-
posed lines will be established and it
may be too late after the survey to
include some farmers who may not
be located along the proposed line.
The committee members have appli-
cation blanks or membership can be
signed at the office of the County
Agent.

SHORTAGE ANNOUNCED
in GOOD LECUME SEED

According to word received from
Washington it is pointed out by R. T.
Grant, County Agent, that there will
be shortage of good legume seed
for use on Maryland farms the COM
ing year.
The promotion of cover crops under
the Farm Program has caused great
increase in the demand for scarlet
clover, red clover vetch, and other
legumes and grass crops. The Eu-
ropean war situation has cut off that
source of supply.
Worcester County Farmers should
save as much seed as possible for the
coming season, instead of using it all
for hay or pasture.

TICK-BITE FEVER
NOW REPORTED
in THE STATE
Two Cases Been Sent In To The
Health Department From
The Counties

Two cases of tick-bite fever
known medically as Rocky Mountain
spotted fever-were reported to the
State Department of Health from the
counties during May.
Commenting on the temperance of
the disease on practically scheduled
time-ticks are inactive during the
winter-Dr. R. H. Riley, Director of
the State Department of Health said:
"These cases are a reminder that ticks
are back again, and a warning that
they are sources of danger.
"Tick-bite fever usually results"
he continued "from the bite of in
fected ticks. It may also be con-
tracted by absorbing the disease-pro-
ducing material into the system thru
a scratch or an open cut. The Amer
lean dog tick that fastens itself to
horses, dogs and cattle, as well as to
human beings, is generally respon-
sible for the disease in this part of
the country. The disease does not
spread from person to person.
fortunately, not every tick is in
fected, but they all look alike, so it is
best to regard all of them as possible
carriers of disease-producing material
and to treat them accordingly. It is
of the utmost Importance that any
found on the body be removed as soon
as possible. But great care should
be taken not to crush out the infec-
tious material on the hands.
"Ticks are likely to be especially
prevalent in high grass, along shores,
and in uncleared land. Fishermen,
campers, mixers, or others whose bust
ness or pleasure takes them into tick
infested areas should use all possible
precautions against being bitten. The
following safeguards are advised:
1. Wear suitable clothing in going
through tick-infested area
2 "Look out for ticks on your body
and on your clothing Make a careful
inspection at least twice day, if you
are employed in a tick-infested area
or are on hiking or camping trip.
Children are likely to be bitten back
of the ears, OH the head, or neck.
Don't overlook these or any other hid
ing places in your inspections. Exam
ination of the whole body is neces-
sary.
3. "Be careful in removing any
ticks found on the body, or in taking
them off of dogs or other animals,
not to crush the ticks between the fin
gers. If the insect is deeply embed
ded use small forceps or protect the
fingers with bit of paper or cot
ten. Swab the place from which the
tick was withdrawn with iodine. Dip
the fingers and the forceps in alcohol,
afterwards, and wash the hands thor
oughly with soap and water. A drop
of crude oil or motor oil may be of
help in withdrawing ticks from dogs
or cattle.
4. "Cut out and burn underground
and weeds; cut grass very short "a
round dwellings, along paths and near
bathing pools and shores"
