As a rule. Professor Moore continues,
it is better to hold the cows off the

is Of sufficient size, well set with
grasses and c~lovers, and has received
proper care and management. it should

STATE HEALTH OFFICER

A sharp rise in the incidence Of
measles occurred in Mississippi in Jam
uary. From a total of 318 cases re-
ported to the state board Of health for
December, the number Of cases rose to
1916 in January. This is more than
one and one half times as many cases
as occurred in January Of the previous
year.
Probably the most contagious Of the
acute communicable diseases. measles
gains Roadway where there is a large
number of susceptible Individuals.
These individuals are usually children
but recent shifts in population have
brought many persons into the state
who apparently have MT heretofore
been exposed.
Measles is transmittod directly from
person by means Of droplet excretions
from the mouth, nose. throat of he in
fected individual. 1t must be empha-
sized that measles can be a dangerous
disease in infants, children under four
years Of age, and children whose re-
~sistance is low. Immediately after q
Known exposure to measles, parents
should secure a physicians services for
either the prevention or modification OF
the disease.

Whot Holmes County
Formers Are Doing
In Soil Conservation
By A. p. Carroll and r. J. Ross

Pat Barrett. Of Lexington. has esssb-
iisbed an excellent grazing program on
his farm at Coxburg. He improved his
permanent pasture last year by apply
ing 300 pounds Of superphosphste and
500 pounds Of lime per acre and by seed
ing to Dallas grass, white Dutch clover
and lespedeza-
He planted areas to white Dutch
clover and wild winter pea for seed
and IL using these for supplementary
grazing. He harvested the peas last
summer and shocked the fines for his
cattle, which proved to be good hay.
He disc this field during the summer
and planted soy beans which were cut
for hsy. Last fall he planted oats IN
the wild winter peas and these oats and
peas are giving his cattle excellent
grazing. Also, the white Dutch clover
which be harvested for seed last sum
mer, is furnishing good grazing. Not
only did Mr.. Barrett depend on these
two crops for his grazing. last fall he
planted oats, Italian rye grass, wild win
ter peas and crison clover on the land
which is to be planted 10 row crops in
the spring and these winter grazing
crops are furnishing good grazing. Mr.
Barrett states that he has fed his cattle
less this year than during any previous
year and they are all in better eondi-
ton. He applied superphosphate to
these crops when they we're seeded and
states that this mineral has caused the
crop to grow off much quicker. Also.
he states he is getting much more graz
ing from the early paintings than he is
from the late paintings. He plans to
seed oats, and wild winter peas in his
cultivated land during the last Guilt
walton Of cotton this summer.
He states the hogs running loose on
his winter grazing has done great dam
age due TO roofing up Of the soil. In
our observation on fields and permanent
pasture We have found that hogs have
caused more damage on farms Of the
county than anything else. Most farms
are injured more from hogs running
loose than the hogs are benefited from
what they pick up.
w. A. Thomas Of Goodman, has got
ten better results from lespedeza seri-
cea than any farmer in the county. He
planted it on this thin, eroded land and
has utilized it for hay. grazing and seed
production. He states that he does not
believe that there is any plant that will
compare with it when planted on un-
productive hill land such as he is using
He states that he got much better
seed bed.
The farmers who have gotten the best
stands nave prepared the land with a
disc or pillow and harrow until 1t was
smooth. Then they ran a cultivator
over ihA land until it was very smooth
and piarscd the seed on top of the soil.
j.. E. Chisolm, Of Richland, has just
completed applying one care Of lime on
his farm. This lime was hauled out and
stacked in the field until he could put
it out. An interesting fact was, even
though this lime was in paper bags and
several rains came while it was stacked,
very few of the bass burst and there
was not any waste.

in the first month Of the school year.
"This increase" he declares, "is par

DENTAL PROGRAM
 IN HIGH SCHOOLS
Students of 5l Schools Participate in Victory Fit-
 ness Activities

Fifty-one Connecticut high schools participated in the Victory Corps Physical Fitness dental program this Spring sponsored by the State De- partments of Health and Education in cooperation with the Connecticut State Dental Association, according to a report by John I. Fulton, D. D. S., in the June bulletin of the Connecticut State Department of Health. The program brought den- tai health facts to 23,500 high school students.
 Each high school participating in the program held an assembly at which an appropriate movie was shown and a qualified speaker pre- sented thhe essentials of sound den- tai health. Connecticut dentists not only conducted many of the meetings with students but agreed to give priority appointments to those students requesting correction as result of the programs stimu- lation.
 Pre-induction dental corrections are a valuable adjunct to the war effort, as the repair of defects is great handicap to the training of men in the armed forces. The Victory Corps program was an edu- cational appeal to encourage the examination and repair of high school students teeth prior to the call to service.
 It is planned to continue the Victory Corpsh Dental program for the duration of the war and eventu- ally to use the knowledge gained as a basis for planning sound and comprehensive dental program at all age levels.
