A marked improvement in flax
harvesting machinery was noted in
a supplementary investigation of
harvesting operations in the In
perial Valley, according to Frank
Beyschlag. county farm advisor
Beyschlag, who this week COM
pleted a tWo-Week investigation of
harvesting operations with J. S.
Winters from the University of Cali
fornia division of Agricultural en-
gineering. declared that machinery
in use this year was faster, more
efficient and harder.
Use of rubber rollers in all flax
harvesting equipment has speeded
operations and has cut down loss to
growers in flaxseed. Preliminary
Investigations by the engineering
department last year evidenced
heavy losses in cases where har-
vesting machines were not equipped
with rubber rollers, Beyschlag said.

Blue Ridge Cold Storage Application Approved By REA

that all children should have this
protection before entering school.
This law is one that is entirely
for the protection of the child,
and is one that every parent
should cooperate with one hum
dred percent, not because it is
the law, but because it is the
thing to do for the protection of
the little ones intrusted to their
care.
Every parent or guardian of
a child under school age should
see their family physician at
once and have their children
immunized against diphtheria if
this has not been done. The
Health Office is also prepared to
give these immunizations. The
age at which diphtheria is most
apt to occur is between one and
six. Cases do occur in older in
dividuals, but by far the larger
number come in the above men,
toned group.

IunInuniZatiOns
For Diphtheria
Are Compulsory
DIR. King Urges Parents To
Have Children Under School
Age Vaccinated.

DR.. Robert King, tri-county dis
trict health officer, yesterday is
sued statement, urging all pa
rents to have their children I'M
der school age, immunized
against diphtheria, if they have
not already done so.
This is a requirement of a
state law, passed during the last
session, for the protection Of
children.
DR.. Kings statement in full is
as follows:
"Diphtheria cases continue to
be reported in North Carolina
much more often than they
should, and what is more to the
point, they continue to occur in
ASHE COUNTY. Nothing is per-
feet in this world, and occasional
ly a child will contract the di-
sease who is thought to be i'm
mune, but by far the greater
number of those receiving toxoid
are protected.
Recent studies have shown
that it is preferable to give two
doses of the immunizing agent
at some three weeks interval
between the doses. This method
gives so much surer protection
that the need for a Schick test
later is hardly considered neces-
sary, though given where re-
quested. This will be the prac-
tice of the Health Department
in the future.
"The State of North Carolina
passed a law at its last session
of legislature requiring all infants
between the ages Of six months
and one year of age to be i'm

were sent with the application
and since then Bill Wayman has
stated that he will sell some
land, which is ideally located
between the Jeffersons, on the
main highway, near the railroad,
and near West Jefferson, the

The four options include two
