Fifteen Markets Prepared
To Handle 388,300,-
00O-Pound Crop

RALEIGH, Aug. 1S.-(P)-Fifteen
markets in the eastern North Car
DINA tobacco belt will open Tues
day prepared to sell cigarette
leaf crop expected to total 1885,
100000 pounds, one of the largest
in the states history. ~-~
On the basis of August l pre-
dictions of the State Department
of Agriculture, the current crop in
the eastern belt-largest in the
flue-cured states-will surpass last
years production by more than
$4,000, 900 pounds, and will be ex-
ceeded only by the record-break-
ing crop of 1889.
Operating under 43 IL ceiling
last year, fourteen markets in the
belt sold 1863, 546, $50 pounds at an
average of 1923 per hundred, one
of the highest seasonal averages
since 1919. The 1945 ceiling will
be a. IL cents.
The predicted 1945 increase in
poundage is due to a four per cent
increase in cre,a ge, heavier
yields per acre, and the use OF
more plants and fertilizer per
acre.
The last Agriculture Department
forecast said the 1945 crop was
expected to be Of better quality
than last year. Despite unusua.
weather conditions in the spring
production got off to an excellent
start with one of the best stands
ever seen in the belt.
A mild February, followed by
unseasonably W m weather

plants and a plentiful supply o.
them. A dry, cool period which
followed, hampering growth ane
delaying transplanting, served t.
the advantage of growers, how
ever, since plants had become too
far advanced for the time of the
year.
After the crop was transplant
ed, cool weather in May resulted
in some damage and excessive

beneficial effect upon the develop.

The principal difficult in produc,
ing the near-record crop was the
labor p r o b lie m, agriculture Of
ficials say. The extremely higE
prices prevailing for labor and the
heavy rains in July made il
harder for the tgrowers to cope
with the situation. Some relief was
given through the use of war pris

fields. Nevertheless, housing the
crop proved to be an expensive
operation for most growers.

described the situation. I'm not
taking any chances"
"A doctor out in Colorado's made
a serum" Lucius Frayne added.
"One shot of it, they say, and the
flu victim soon recoyers-as good as
new"
Daphne was saying to herself:
Good as new-until he dies shortly
for some unknown reason"
Mrs. Latham, from the far end Of
the table, remarked, 1--WE been
reading about that new serum. They
say it is the greatest discovery since
diptheria serum"
Daphne asked, who is the dis
coverer?"
"His name is Calverton," Frayne
answered. Quite a story about MIN,
too. Soon as the public health peo-
pie decided it was the real thing,
Calverton flew from Colorado with
the serum. Town already had thirty
dead. but since then no deaths from
flu there have been reported"
at only started a couple of weeks
ago." Mrs. Frayne explained. "To-
nights papers are full of that Cal
verton flight"
Daphne wondered il such reports
were true, as she recalled what DR.,
Stephan Fenwick-her Steve-had
told her about such a serum.
1t was after midnight when she
got home, but before Daphne went
to bed, she decided to look up details
of that discussed epidemic the next
day. And she was at a public Ii
brary soon after it opened in the
morning, asking to see newspaper
files for the fortnight past.
A small announcement Of the
outbreak of an "unidentiiiable dis
ease" in a northern village Chat
was close to a town in which there
was large defense projecU was
her first find.
There were two similar items
from north and east-on each sue
ceeding day. Then she came upon
half column story: The Surgeon
General of the United States had
named the epidemic one of malig-
nant influenza, resembling that
which had been so ruthless in 1918.
Daphne had to look no further
than the first pages of yesterdays
papers. On them were dramatic
versions of DR.. Calverton's flight
from the laboratory in Colorado to
the stricken Eastern area, and the
sensational success predicted for his
serum.
1t seemed to her that from that
day, there was no other news in the
papers. There were editorials and
daily reports on the spread and
checking of the epidemic, detailed
stories, opinions, interviews. Many
scientists, public health figures and
medical college heads paid tribute
to the new serum and its discoverer.

Daphne often said to herself dur
ing the days following, as she avid
ly read all available newspapers
and magazines concerning the flu
spread and its conquering serum.

The news continued to be good.
and she kne y that Steve would re-
joicc il the new serum were another
n, "A miracle.
Then on Tuesday, only four days
after the Whcatley dinner party,
she saw a story in a Boston paper
which sent her running into the
kitchen to Mrs. Gates.
"Gatesie Gatesie! Listen TO
this" cried Daphne and read the
story aloud:
Peter Calder, year-old son OF
former Governor Samuel F. Calder,
died suddenly today at the summer
home of his parents at Bar Harbor.
On leave from the United States
Coast Guard, in which he enlisted
last February, young Calder was
stricken two weeks ago with infu-
enza. He was one Of the first to be
| treated with the Calverton serum,
and had completely recovered. He
was preparing to return to his sta
ton when he dropped dead"
Daphne asked, DO you know
what that means ?"
Mrs. Gates said, "He probably
wasn't a strong boy"
mo? Well listen to this: Young
Calder left Yale at the end of his
junior year. He was a member of
the water polo team and played var
sity football Does that sound
as if he were a weakling?"
That was on Tuesday. On We'd
nesday other papers reported seven

treated with the new serum, and
pronounced cured" but had died
suddenly from causes unknown"
On Thursday, Daphne Willough-
by was on her was to North Whit
ridge-and Steve. In her purse
were all her clippings.
A dozen times on that tiresome,
hot trip, Daphne told herself it was
a FOOLS errand; she would not find
him there. Steve would have left
North Wintridge by now. He had
said he had experiments which
would keep him there "a few months
longer but-did he mean two, or
three, or four months? 1t was four
months since she'd left North Whit
ridge.
Once, just once-and then it was
when she was sending a telegram
from New York to tell Kate Denni-
son to meet her train-did she re-
member that this was the eve of the
Fourth of July-the day when she
was supposed to give Alan her an
swer to his marriage proposal -.
Three hours later, the conductor
opened the door, calling North
Wintridge"
Daphne was the only passenger
alighting from the train, and there
wasn't soul on the deserted station
platform, nor car in sight. Puz-
zled, she looked at her watch, Won
dering if the train had got in little
early. But no, it was just midnight.
Then she remembered! There
would be fireworks and a bonfire to-
night-lasting even until now. And
of course, Kate would be at the cele-
bration. She would not have re-
ceived the telegram sent at nine
o'clock.
Up on Main Street, Daphne could
see the lights of the Old Oak Inn. 1t
would suit her nicely. She checked
in, telephoned the local garage, said
she wanted to hire a car.

Your Health
Lozenges Used
For Treatment
by Penicillin

Dy L GlllClllll
BY II. y. BINDESEN. NJ. d,
ALL sorts Of infections have
been treated with the new wonder
working drug, penicillin. Now
method has been devised for using
penicilliu in treating infections Of
the mouth. An attempt to treat
these infections with a penicillin
spray had been tried previously,
but was found to be unsatisfactory
because the action of the peniclllin
is not lasting when the drug is
used in this form.
Doctors Alexander B. MacGre-
gor and David A. Long Of England,
therefore, decided to try the effect
of penicillin in a lozenge. The
lozenge was made of a gelatin
base. Each lozenge was three
eighths Of an INCH square and one
eighth Of an inch thick.
The patients treated were seen
each day, SO that the course of the
diseases from which they suffered
could be carefully followed. They
were instructed to put one of the
lozenges into the mouth and to
leave it there until it had dissolved,
without chewing or sucking it, and
then to replace it with another.
The time for each lozcnge to dis
solve was three-quarters of an
hour. The patients were told to put
one of the lOzenges into the mouth
at night before going to bed and
to use another one whenever they
awakened. The lozenge has
slightly bitter taste but this was
not found unpleasant.
The conditions treated included
Eincent's angina or trench mouth,
streptococcal tonsillitis, scarlet
fever. infections in the mouth fol-
lowing operations, such as removal
Of the tonsils or injury to the bone
and lining membrane of the mouth
following a difficult tooth extrac-
ton.
4 number Of patients with
french mouth were treated with
the penicillin lozenge. All of them
became free of symptoms within "a
hours, including a number who had
a great deal of pain, sleeplessness,
and fever In 48 hours, the ulcers
or sores in the mouth had begun TO
heal and all active signs of in
flammation of the gums them
selves had cleared up. Within five
days the improvement was so great
that treatment was stopped
No patient had any other treat
ment and no recurrence Of the in
lection occurred over a period Of
three and one-half months.
The cases of streptococcal ton
sillitis treated became free of fever
within 81 hours in most instances,
and all were relieved Of fever with
in two days. Within one day the
local symptoms were greatly bene-
fitted. Since streptococcal tonsil-
Tits causes sore throat, this relief.
is, of course, welcome to the pa.
tent.
In severe case Of scarlet fever
in one adult, the improvement was
so great that within p hours he
was taking solid food satisfac-
torily, while before treatment he
had been unable to eat because Of
the pain.
1t. would appear that the peni-
cillin lozenges are useful in pre-
venting infections following mouth
operations. This new method Of adj
ministering penicillin in mouth
conditions would appear to be en-
tirely worth while.
