Acute appendicitis demands en-
Urgency measures. The physician
should be called Immediately, and
the patient should go to a hospital.
Figures prove these facts conclusive
ly. Studies have been made showing
that of those appendicitis patients
who called a physician, went to a
hospital and had an operation with
in "a hours of their attack, only l
in 81 died. But the number of
deaths increased with the hours Of
delay. Within AZ hours, l in "a
died; within ~ hours, l in II died
and after II hours, l in 10 died.
These facts are convincing to
the most skeptical. Only a skilled
physician can diagnose appendicitis.
Laxatives and purgatives are dan
gerous and often result in death.

Three Big Questions
4-H'ers Con Answer

Three things every farm family
would like to know are % Will the
farm make money this year? (2)
How a our cost of living be wise
ly reduced? and (3) What are our
best paying crops?
Any family with a boy or girl
who can do simple arithmetic can
have answers to these very impor-
tant questions thousands of families
have had them year after year, and
will again in 1941.
Handy books with easy-to-follow
blank forms for keeping just such
information may be had of county
extension agents or club agents. Get
them at once and enter the few nee
essary figures before the last date
for starting, which is March /.
Records may be kept on one of
three phases: (1) farm; (2) home,
or 90 crop enterprise, but all should
be done as a All activity. The fig
ures may be retained at the close of
the designated period, which is IL
months for farm and home accounts,
and the production period for a crop.
A set also may be submitted in con
fidence for handsome awards Of
FREQ through the Extension Service
by the International Harvester Com
pany, and the records recovered af-
ter being judged, and analysed to
suggest ways of improving the farm
income.
Awards consist of gold medals in
all qualifying counties, IL college
scholarships of 5000 each, and SO
trips to the 1912 National All Club
Congress to be given best accoun
in participating states. All winners
are to be announced at the close Of
the account keeping period in the
spring Of 1912.

Sugar Cane Used To
Stop Up Gu|Iies

Sugar cane and sorghum bagasse
are the best materials to use il STOP
ping gullies. Many ON of this ma
terial is piled up around the syrup
mills over Holmes County. If it
is not used before hot weather it
will rot and do very little good. If
it is properly used, it will stop sew
eral hundred gullies.
Two methods of using bagasse
have proven to be very effective.
Dams can be made at about fifteen
to twenty foot intervals in the gullies
by throwing an average size fork of
tins material into a narrow bottom
gully or three or four in the wider
bottom gullies. The other method
which is probably more expensive
but has proven to be more sue
cessful in some gullies is mulching
the entire bottom of the gullies with
this material.
The bagasse lays close to the
ground and will not allow the silt
to pass under.
After two or three rains these
dams of mulch will have caught suf-
flcient silt to make a favorable
planning site for bermuda grass. In
most cases it will be satisfactory to
Dad your wagon with bermuda grass
sod, drive along the gully and throw
a few punches behind each dam or
have them scattered along in the
bottom of the gully Aat three to
four feet apart.
The above method has proven to
be very satisfactory, but we would
advise that you walk along in the
gully after the bermuda has been
thrown in, placing the blocks of sod
in the most favorable planting sites,
and MASKING it in the ground with
the foot.
After a treatment Of this kind
the bottom of the average gully will
be completely healed within a period
of two years.
