Officials Plan To
Combat Malaria
In U. 5. Camps
Disease Purulyzed
Thousands In
First World War

Armed with the facts on malaria
dangers in wartime, Mr.. Nelson H,
Rector, Assistant State Director OF
Malaria Control, State Board of Heal
tn, warns that every effort must be
made to forestall the disintegrating
effects of this disease on military
and civilian populations.
During the last World War, the
British, French and German armies
on the Macedonia front were virtual
ly paralyzed by malaria, Mr.. Rector
states. In 1916 the French could
put no more than 10000 men in
the line out of a force of at least
10000. The British had 10000
men down with malaria in 1916,
10000 in 1917, and "no one knows
what might have happened in 1918
had they not repatriated $4,000 OF
the worst and most chronic cases.
According to Mr.. Rector, malaria
took this unexpected" hand in
Europe during the last World War
because warnings of qualified malaria
experts were received with amused
contempt. "Thus ignorance and in
credulity set the stage for disaster"
he stated.
Pointing out, however, that Major
J. A. LePrince, former Sanitary En-
gineer Director of the United States
Public Health Service, worked I'M
tiringly and painstakingly on malaria
control in the United States at that
time, Mr.. Rector believes that he
United States viii again use all mod
ern methods for combating malaria
in every camp located in the south
ern United States.
In the first place, malaria control
engineers should work with army
officials in selecting proper sites for
all tcantonments, Mr.. Rector states,
Many troops will come from regions
where malaria does not prevail and,
therefore, will be very susceptible to
this disease. These new cases would
be new sources of infection to the
civilian population in the territory
adjacent to the camps and would con-
stitute real menac to their home
communities after discharge from the
army.
While pointing out the possible
dangers of malaria, Mr.. Rector be-
yes that public health officials
D this country viii do just as effec-
We work in malaria control o as
hey did in 1918.

Lespedeza Seed
Saving Campaign
Making Progress
Progressive Formers
Save Much Money
By Saving Seed

The lespedeza saving campaign in
Holmes County is getting well under
way. The following farmers are hav-
ing their seed saved with combines:
DIR. 0. ID. Hooker, Lexington; Messrs,
J. E. Madden, Tchula; Marion John
son, Cruger; o. B. Simon, Cruger; T.
E. Murtagh, Ebenezer; w. ]. Waits,
Ebenezer; X. d. Henry, Ebenezer;
G. L. Downer, Acona; Clyde Peacock,
Acona. Several other farmers say
they will start saving seed during
the coming week.
The yields for the various varieties
being combined are as follows:
Variety: Yield Per Acre:
Korean, from 8 to 500 lbs.
Kobe, from $50 to 400 lbs.
Common, from $50 to 400 lbs.
Judging by the yield these far
mers are getting and the acreage that
they will harvest seed from, they
will a v approximately $4,000 pound
of seed.
Any farmer in the county who has
an acreage of lespedeza seed that
could be harvested should make an
earnest effort to save these seed dur
ing the next two weeks. Where the
acreage will not Justify a combine
there are several othar4methnds that
be used. Get in touch with the
Soil Conservation Service or the
County Agents Office for sugges-
ions regarding the harvesting of
his valuable seed crop.
With the Triple A Program re-
that 25 per cent of the titled
be planted to erosion re-
and soil conserving crops in
l941, the price of lespedeza seed will
probably be higher than in 1910. You
that common lespedeza
iced ranged from 10 cents to Is
'ents per pound.
Save your l~espedeza seed so it wilt
lot be necessary for you to pay out
your cash money for your require
nents in 1941.

On this basis approximately 85

registered. These men reside in the
communities of Durant, West, EN-
ory, Franklin, Bowling Green, Eulo-
gy, Edsville, Junior College, Good

for these two beats is composed of
w. S. Heggie, Edwin Steen and
j. R. Joyce.
A total of 1924 men registered in
Holmes county, On that basis a total
of 225 would likely be drafted into
