Cancer Leads Causes
 Of Deaths In State
Connecticut State Medical Society Takes Official
 COgnizance of Fact; TumOr Clinics Organized

The 20 tumor clinics now oper- ated under the direction of the state society will attack the prob- lem of attempting to lower the high cancer mortality rate reported for last year-15 per cent, or 149.7 per 100000 of population. Since February, 1940, the executive com mittee of a psyhicians' tumor group has been campaigning for annual physical examinations of all per- sons over the age of 35 as the best means of detecting this chronic dis- ease in It's earliest stages.
 The state society hopes to expe- dite both diagnosis and treatment by means of standard case history records and physical examination forms which have been prepared. A committee has been appointed to work out standardized therapy out lines also.
 The l94l General Assembly ap- propriated the sum of $25,000 for use by the state department of health to expand the statistical work of the department. This sum will be matched by federal funds, and used, in part, to further the work of the tumor clinics now operating.
 Tn order to integrate the work going on in Connecticut with that of national bodies, the tumor cona- mittee of the state society last year entered into afflliatlon with the American Society for the Control of Cancer.
 "The Conn. State Medical Society will continue to warn the public of the danger ofallowing possible cam cer symptoms ot go undetected by competent professional examine tion," a spokesman of the society stated, in commenting on the high cancer death rate for 1940.

 Commissioner COX said that dur ing 1940, new drainage was in- stalled in ninety-one locations throughout the state, with uniform success on ice elimination. Ice re- moval records for prior years show that approximately $l5,0o0 were rec quired each year to pay for picking ice formations from these sections of highway surface.
 During the past winter, only one of the ninety-one places failed to

 Costs are not determined as eas- fly in the matter of patching and surface repairs made necessary by frost, but the maintenance super visors in all areas reportt hat free- dom fro n1sub-surface water has reduced these costs also. 'Heaving" and holes in the pavement caused by frost action have been reduced at practically every one of the 91 locations, which also decreases the hazard to the travelling public.
 Benefits to motorists accrIling from the absence of skidding danger is also difficult to evaulate in terms of money, the commissioner said. There is, however, the known elim- nation of 90 spots of potential ice hazard and the improvement of one, to slow for the drainage work.

 Places where the corrections were made were largely on older high- ways, built before the needs for extensive drainage were fully under stood. While generally good, these roads presented bad spots at inter- vals. Installations varied from simple surface drainage, such as gutters, to sub-service drains with and without catch basins. A con- siderable quantity of the work re- quired installation of eight inch un- derdrains, while in other places 1t was necessary to use catch basins and larger pipe in addition to the srb-surface drainage.

Farmers Should Grow
White Dutch Clover
For Huge Profits
Clover Worth Four
Acres of Cotton
Says w. Carson

Farmers of Holmes County who
have equipment or who can purchase
equipment to use in saving White
Dutch Glover should be interested in
the following figures. In 1889 fore
ign countries shipped 2,3s4,90O
pounds of seed to this country. Last
year the United States received
$4,000 pounds of this seed from
foreign countries. So far in 194l
there has been a further drop to ST.
900 pounds. The cutting down Of the
shipments of White Dutch Glove.
seed to this country has increased
the price from 81 cents per pound
in 1889 to AZ cents per pound in
l941.
Ia 1910 $4,000 pounds of White
Dutch Glover was harvested in the
United States. Most of this seed was
harvested in Wisconsin and Louis
lana.
A price list has just been received
from the County Agent at Port Glib
son. Mississippi, quoting So cents per
pound for this seed in quantities of
$50 pounds.
Another letter Just received from
q reliable source states that Is per-
cent of the Louisiana crop of this
clover seed has already been sold to
growers and the price of seed in
that State has continued to advance.
On July Is their price Of $500 per
100 pounds of cleaned seed was
quoted.
This information should be suf
ficient to show the possibilities in
White Dutch Glover seed. Purchase
your seed needs now and plant your
crop on firm seed bed from three to
five pounds per acre in the latter par.
of September or the first of October
At the present prices one acre of
White Dutch Glover is worth four OF
five acres of cotton.
Remember this, the 100000
pounds of White Dutch Glover seed
planted in the United States is not
half as much as is actually needed

Entomologist Tells
Formers To Keep
On Poisoning

STATE COLLEGE, MISS, Aug. 5.
The cotton insect situation in Mis-
sissippi rapidly became more COM
plicated during the past week, ac-
cordirg to observations by Plant
Board Inspectors and government en-
tomoloGists who examined 50 farms
in 10 counties. All farmers had
weevils with an average infestation
Of so per cent compared with 81
percent the previous week and 26
percent two weeks ago. Many farms
were also having to use nicotine dust
to control lice, while leafworms were
reported rather generally scattered
over the northern half of the state.
A complaint of hopper damage was
being investigated at Clarksdale. To
make matters worse, no calcium ar
senate could be secured in most
places.
Wherever cotton is still green and
fruiting, Clay Lyle, Entomologist of
the. Board, advised that busting with
calcium arsenate should be continued
at 4 to 5-day intervals. If calcium
arsenate is not available in sufficient
quantity, DR.. Lyle stated that fairly
good results could be secured with
mixture of equal parts calcium ar
senate and hydrated lime, or with
lead arsenate, although the lead ar
senate is considerably more expen-
sive. If lice are abundant, percent
nicotine sulphate should be added to
one application of the half-and-half
mixture and applied at the rate of 10
pounds per acre when the plants are
dry and the air calm, using ground
machines. Directions for mixing the
nicotine dust may be secured from
the Plant Board at State College.
If necessary to control leafworms
and calcium arsenate it not available
a mixture of one part Paris green,
one part flour and five parts n.y.

young worms if applied at the rate
of ~ to IA pounds per acre.
