 The care of semi-paralyzed, elderly person is hard work, for he must be turned often and kept scrupulously clean and dry to pre- vent pressure sores. However the lifting and moving can be made much easier if you know just how to go about it.
 suppose you want to lift the pa- tient up toward the head of the bed. Stand on the paralyzed side, and instruct him to flex his good knee and press his foot firmly upon the bed. If it Is possible for him to reach and grasp the head of the bed with his good hand. and pull as you lift the helpless side, it will take much of the strai from your back
 PATIENT CAN HELP
 Bending at the hips, place one arm under the shoulders and the other under the thigh. When you are ready to lift tell the patient to push with his foot and pull with his arm. Up he'll come in a jiffy.
 A strap or rope fastened to the head of the bed and extending over far enough for the patient to reach it with one hand may help him to adjust his position little without calling the nurse, and will make him feel more independent.
 An ingenious man can arrange a pulley from the ceiling that will make the care of a semi-helpless person much easier for both the home nurse and the patient. By this means, and the use of an or dinary hammock or a strong can- vas sheet placed crosswise under the patient, he may occasionally be lifted bodily off the bed while the mattress is turned or changed.

County Agent Declares
Crops Are Doing Well

1914, after the prisoners OF war
had moved out, about $4,000 bas-
kets of beans were lost on one
farm alone, because of the short
age of workers, the agent said.
The outcome of the harvest seasons
this year, will depend largely on
transit labor, most OF which comes
from Wilmington and Rockingham,
Galphin added, and the lettuce crop
might be cut in April, if the
weather keeps on as it has. Due
to the early growing season, re-
sulting in an early Spring harvest,
the prisoners of war may not be
through work in the fertilizer plants
in time for the picking, Galphin
said. The labor camp at Castle
Haynes will open March IL, he
said.
The overall picture shows that
not SO many crops will be produc-
ed this year, but if a sufficient
amount of labor can be had, good
weather continues, and the insects
don't do too much damage, a good
harvest should be had.
