Building Resistance

The annual sale now under
way = of the Christmas seals
through which much of the fight
against tuberculosis is financed
focuses attention on measures for
the prevention as well as on those
for the control of the disease.
Doctors, nurses, public health
workers and others who have had
special experience in this field have
found that rest, fresh air and
proper food are high up on the list
as aids to recovery in tuberculosis.
Because proper food plays such
an important part not only as an
aid to recovery from tuberculosis
but in helping to establish resist
ance to the disease, DR.. R. H. Riley,
Director of the State Department
of Health, calls attention to the
following suggestions from the nu-
tritioniost of the department:
"First, the diet must be properly
balanced. To cover all needs, it
must contain certain foods each
day. It must include milk, fruit,
vegetables, whole grain cereals and
dark bread, meat or meat substi-
tute, egg, butter or butter substi-
tute.
Second, the diet should have a
good supply of minerals and vita
minis. Vitamin A foods are OF
special Importance because Vitamin
A helps to keep the tissues Of the
respiratory tract in good condition
so that they will be able to fight
tuberculosis. Foods which contain
this vitamin include, milk, butter,
eggs, cod liver oil, green and yell
low vegetables.
"Vitamin G foods are also i'm
portant in both the prevention and
cure of tuberculosis. Children ano
adults who have had tuberculosis
have been shown to have a great
lack of this vitamin in their bodies.
Accordingly the amount that nor.
mally protects health is not
enough. Oranges, grapefruit and
tomatoes contain large supply OF
Vitamin C.. Raw fruits and vege-
tables contain this vitamin in
smaller amounts. Some of these
must be eaten each day.
"Third, as in any well planned
diet, the food should be simple
easily digested and well prepared.
"a properly balanced diet which
contains the essential food ele-
ments, including good supply Of
minerals and vitamins and which is
simple, not fussy, easily digested
and well prepared, counts for a
great deal as an aid To the recov-
cry of those who are i'll with the
disease. It is of equal Importance
for those who are well, for grown
ups as well as for children, as
means of building up resistance to
the disease"

Agents Recommend Grain
And legume Mixtures
For Gruzine and Hoy

County agents are recommending
that farmers plant small grain and
winter legume mixtures on good land
in late September and early Octo-
Der to prevent erosion Of soil fer
tility, provide valuable grazing dur
ing the winter, or a spring hay
crop.
The agents point out that in ad-
dition to these benefits a mixture
of small grains and legumes will
help producers to qualify under the
1941 AAA farm program, a pro-
vision of which requires that at least
20 percent of the cropland must be
be planted to soil-conserving or er-
osi~on-resisting crops.
Oats and hairy vetch combine to
form one of the most popular mix
lures planted in Mississippi. This
mixture makes a fine hay which can
be harvested in May.
A good mixture is 2 to 2 IL BUSH
els Of oats and IL to Is pounds Of
hairy vetch. An application of super
phosphate or basic Stag is com
mended on most lands in the hill
counties of the state. On some lands
a high analysis, complete fertilizer
will pay.

Most important Task
Formers Is
Soil Protection

The biggest and most important
single task facing Mississippi farmers
is the protection of their more fer
tile soils against the almost constant
inroads of erosion and the restora-
tion of fertility on depleted areas.
The farmer who farms poor soil which
yields meager harvests is doomed to a
low return on his labor and a poor
living for his family.
To farm profitably now and to
save the land for future generations,
destruction of the land by erosion
and bad farming practices must be
stopped. Once fertile farms which
have been robbed Of their fertility
and fields which have been Quilted
with gullies offer mute but con-
vincing evidence the improper farm
ing destroys the land. Supporting
the physical evidences of soil deple-
ton and Land destruction, visible on
almost every hand, are scientific
measurements of erosion losses made
during recent years by the State
Experiment Stations Of the Land
Grant Colleges and the u. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
Since 1880 the Department of
Agriculture has. established 10 Soil
Conservation experiment stations,
where soil and water losses under
various soil, slope, and crop condi-
tions have been quantitively measur-
ed on agricultural land. These sta
lions have provided the essential
facts which have made known to tho
nation the seriousness of soil losses
resulting from erosion and improper
farming.
Consider average figures covering
a f~ive-year period at S~tatesville, N.
c., on sandy loan soil with a 10 per-
cent slope and annual rainfall of
45.22 inches, conditions comparable
to those prevailing in hill counties
in Mississippi. On land planted con-
tinuously to cotton the water run
off was 1872 percent and the soil
loss was 17.8 tons per acre. Where
Land was in a 2-year connection
rotation with winter cover crops, the
run-off was 60 percent and the soil
loss was 1873 tons per acre. How
ever, or land in grass the run-off was
only 81 percent and the soil loss was
only so OF about 1-2 ton per acre.
AT the above rate it would require
SIS years to remove six inches of soil
on land planted continuously to cot
ton, whereas it would take 1,846 years
to remove six inches of soil sodded
to grass and 1856 years to remove
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1940-09-19

six inches of soil on land in woods
protected from fire.
These facts indicate the impor-
lance of the AAA farm program,
under which over a million acres in
Mississippi have been diverted from
soil-depleting to soil-conserving crops
and where . large acreage has been
established in permanent pastures.
In addition, the acreage in winter
cover crops and summer legumes has
been largely increased. Winter cover
crops help to protect the land from
washing winter rains and when plow-
ed under in the spring, add organic
matter and nitrogen to the soil.
Terracing and contour farming
are also important practices for con-
serving rainfall and soil fertility. In
an experiment at Spur, Texas, on
almost level land where the rows
ven run with the slope on unter-
raced land the yield Of lint cotton
was only 104 pounds per acre. But
on adjacent similar land which was
terraced and contoured, the yield of
lint cotton was zig pounds per acre,
or double that of the ~unterraced
land.
Z All of these facts indicate the
Importance of a soil-conserving, soil
improving program on every farm
and that an effective soil-improving
program consists of not one but a
combination of correct farming prac-
tees such as production of winter
and summer legumes, ~terracing, con-
touring, crop rotation, use of green.
crops, and application Of
phosphate and lime, which increases
the growth and protective value Of

An adequate program cannot
function without the active and SYM
pathetic interest of the entire citi-
zenship Of the state.
One in every eight school children
has defective vision DR.. Felix J.
Underwood, State Health Officer,
pointed out as schools opened this
week, urging the application Of
school and home "eye health prac-
tices" to offset this handicap to Mis-
sissippi youth. "The eye is the means
most frequently used in learning"
he said. $50 long as the school con-
tinues to place the heavy burden of
fact gathering on the eye, the school
record of a child will be conditioned
by his eyesight."
From a comprehensive study re-
Gently made under the supervision
of the United States Public Health
Service, it was found that well above
IL per cent of school children have
defects of vision. Applied to Missis-
sippi's 608 5000 boys and girls in ele-
mentary and secondary schools, "our
quota of this handicapped group to-
tails more than 73,0O0," Doctor I'm
derwood stated.
Outlining essentials in a school eye
health program, Doctor Underwood
said that the most effective make
the best possible use of the coopera-
ton Of community agencies, such as
tho local medical society, local health
department for eye testing and ad-
vice about school lighting and en-
hospitals and clinics where
is necessary, and civic
and welfare agencies for financing
needy cases. "Most parents will bel

wood said. Leadership in showing
the need for eye health is necessary,
however, and frequently the leader
ship may come from the school peo-
pie and parent-teacher groups, who
are intimately concerned with the
health and welfare of children"
AS Elective as a school eye health
program may be, Doctor Underwood
called the parent the most impor-
tant factor in the child's eye health.
The mother who has learned the es-
sential facts about eye hygiene pro-
tects the child's eyes from sharp
points and explosives and includes in
the daily diet of the child the milk,
fruits, and vegetables necessary for
good eye health. Recommending that
reading places be well lighted and
that chairs be so arranged that nei-
Their glare nor shadow falls on the
page, Doctor Underwood said that
through situations constantly arising,
the wise parent teaches his child
through experience those habits
which conserve sight.
