District Health Officer

AS the school year gets into its
last months an effort will be
made by the health department
to hold pre-school clinics for the
purpose of examining the chill
dren who are to enter the first
grade in September 1947. In many
instances it is true the screening
not been carried out this year
because of the shortage of per-
sonnet, and in such cases II IS
hoped that a combination pre-
school and screening visit can
be made
The pre-school clinics Will be
held by appointment with the

is to prepare the future students

SHEEP
Sheep numbers continued the
downward trend, with the num-

January l, 1947, being estimated
at $4,000 head, compared with
$4,000 a year ago and the 10-year
average of $4,000 head. How
ever, the increase in the average
value per head was enough to

CHICKENS
The number of all chickens on

broilers which have become an
important source of income in
some local areas in the State.
While the average value per head

AT Home On The
Farm With
TheCity Cousin

"His entire life was spent in
the rural community where he
was born
This was said of Bill Tyree,
dirt farmer, in his plain and
simple obituary that came out
in the county seat weekly news
paper after he died.
had read this line before in
more than one account of the
passing of a friend. 1t is part of
the stock in trade of men every
where who write for "the home
town paper"
Close to the soil themselves,
in small towns that depend on
the outlying farm sections for
their very existence, country
editors have a keen aWareness of
the real meaning behind this un-
adorned summary of Bill Tyree's
crowded lifetime.
City cousins who take the tro-
uble to read the obituary of a
farmer they have not known in
life, conclude that men like Bill
were old "stick-in-the mudS"
whose existence must have been
terribly dull. But l knew Bill.
Because he was strong enough to
stick it out, some folks get the
idea that he was too weak to
move on to the "greener pas
lures" that are kinda like the end
of the rainbow.
He spent his entire life in Twin
Forks community, all right!
Course, he went to state con-
ventions of his farm groups when
he could, and he tried not to
miss a State College Extension
Service Farm and Home Week"
like the one they're going to
have the last week in August this
year. From associations he CLEAN
ed many real friends, became
''neighbors" to fellow-farmers all
over the Old North State, and
when he returned to this COM
munity where his entire life was
spent, you can be sure he was a
better farmer, and that Twin
Forks felt the impact of his
dynamic leadership.
Bill saw good times and bad
times find their way to his roll
ing farmstead, but he knew how
to handle both of them. I've seen
his prosper, and I've seen him
paying up his newspaper sub
Scription with bags of potatoes
and Leghorn hens. Sometimes he
had to pay the doctor and the
parson with this same legal ten
der, but Bill Tyree could be
counted on to pay in full"
How many Bill Tyres" do
we have in North Carolina? Well,
look at your small rural COM
munities. Search out the school,
the church, the newspaper that
serves it. If these institutions
stand strong, there is at least
one Bill Tyree" somewhere
down a nearby road, of whom
they will say at his passing:

Livestock Numbers Show Drop
But Overall Value Is HIGHER

Raleigh-There isn't as much
livestock on North Carolina
farms as a year ago, says the
State-Federal Crop Reporting
Service in the N. c. Agriculture
Department.
The estimate, based upon re-
ports received from thousands of
farmers in the State. says there
were fewer mules, cattle, sheep,
and chickens on January ! than
on the same date a year ago-but
slightly larger numbers of hogs
and turkeys.
The total value of North Caro-
lima livestock was placed at $780,
$4,000 as against $200,819,000 a
year earlier and $134502,000 for
the 1O-year O936-45) average.
Increases in the average value
per head of all cattle offset de-
clines in numbers. However,
the decrease in the number of
chickens more than Offset the ad-
vance in the average value.
HORSES AND MULES
The number of horses on North
Carolina farms as of January l
was estimated al $4,000 head, the
same as on January l, 1916, but
5000 head above the 10-year av-
erage. The average value per
head declined .$4 and as a result
the total value was about three
per cent less than on the same
date a year earlier. Mules, esti-
mated at 277,00O head, were
about two per cent under the
number a year earlier, and about
seven per cent less than the 10
year average number. Thus the
total value was about two per
cent less.
ALL CATTLE AND CALVES
The number OF all cattle and
calves on North Carolina farms
January /, 1947, was estimated
at $4,000 head, decrease Of
about two per cent from the pre-
ceding year, but still about four

fered to prove Lo~eh Mehe'''
that either course will lead to war,
it is not possible to argue convinc-
ingly that either course will lead toI
prolonged peace.
Russian Influence Expands. Y
One course contemplates saying to-
Russia. in effect: Thus far shall
YOU 20 and no farther. You may
not push your Communistic philoso-
phy beyond these fixed lines" Un-
less we do this while we have the
power, it Is urged, we can expect
to see the Russian influence pene-
trating into all parts of the world.
Unless we stop Russia at the Greek
and Turkish borders, the Mediter-
rsnean Sea and all the waters OF
the world will be open to her COM
merce, her navy and her revolu-
tionary doctrine; it will be the be-
ginning of the end of democracy
everywhere, the end of our way OF
life.
The United States, having be-
come the foremost world power, 1t
Is argued, must accept the respon-
sibilities that go with this position.
And one responsibility is to see that
communism shall spread no farther,
or, at least, that Russia shall have
access to no more territory IN which
to spread that doctrine.
It Is this approach that seems
to have caused Senator Vandenberg
some misgivings, leading him toI
remark that any such policy might
have to be pursued all around the
world, inasmuch as the same fun
damentals are involved in SO many
situations. He could have been
thinking of India, Indonesia and
China and their explosive poten-
tials. He could even have been
thinking of France.
Trouble Is Brewing.
At any rate, 1t Is easy to believe
there is the making of trouble for
ourselves as far down the future as
we can see, If this is to be our policy.
The opposite course would be to
leave Greece and Turkey to fate,
although not withholding famine
relief and rehabilitation aid in the

This is the idea of giving Russia
completely free access to all the

further expansion on land. Any
further efforts to bottle her up,
either physically or ideologically,

American newspapers took vary
ing attitudes toward President Tru-
mans proposal for aiding Greece
and Turkey, but most editorial COL
umns agreed on the importance OF
what the Omaha World Herald
termed "the most taking
statement, ever made in time OF
peace by any American President
or statesman"
with restraint but great clarity,
President Truman explained the re-
sponsibilities thrust upon the United
States by the rise Of an aggressive
Communist state IN Russia and the
coincident decline of Great Britain
as a world power said the Detroit
Free Press.
The Boston Globe said that "the
issue is wide and serious, with COM
mitments in region where Amer
ica has not had them before. Con-
eress and the country will do well
to approach the question in a spirit
which assures earnest deliberation,
vigorous study and thorough de-
bate"
The New York Times expressed
the belief that the American peo-
pie stand behind this warning to
Russia ito desist from the physical
aggression and the diplomatic at
triton that have characterized her
policy ever since the war and to
abide by the charter of the United
Nations as the only safe basis OF a
tolerable peace"

Study Trees Now
For Fall Planting

Things for the prospective new.
home owner to consider about trees,
especially deciduous trees, prior to
the fall transplanting season:
First, establish q tentative list Of
species and then check by examin-
ing each kind OF tree while 1t Is in
leaf.
Then. consider these aspects:
Is the general shape and appear
ance Of the tree attractive?
Is the texture and color Of the
foliage really beautiful?
Will the tree provide adequate
shade?
Will It's shade be so heavy that
the lawn cannot be maintained be-
meath 1t?
Is it q strong tree-one that will
survive storms?
Does 1t have good autumn colorf
Is 1t clean or always dropping
flowers. leaves. fruit. bark or twiss7
Will 1t become too large for the
site intended
How will it thrive under existing
soil and environmental conditions7
The easiest check on the last point
is to notice whether 1t Is now being
planted in the neighborhood and II
so, with what results.

day lily, sea Lavender. rose campion,
Iceland poppy and the Veronicas
like a sunny situation but not one
that is bone dry. Good soil prepara-
ton is needed If they. are to thrive
and flower freely.
Annuals: Only a few Of the an
nuals may be counted upon to do
we'll in the arid spots of a yard.
Portulaca is probably the number
one choice, but the California poppy
and its running mate, the Hume
MAMMA. oftentimes do surprisingly
well when sown in the fall and al
lowed to get a very early start in
the spring. The nasturtium likes a
Door soil and one that is fairly dry
but will burn up If not given some
moisture. The snow on the noun
tain. sunhower (dwarf-branchtng is
an excellent garden flower), zinnia
and annual phlox are others that do
surprisingly well in a dry situation.
This was not intended as a COM
plete list of plants that will thrive
under desert conditions. After all,
a hot, dry situation is relative
term and means different things to
various people. Usually it refers to
situation that has full sun, and a
soil that does not retain great deal
of moisture. Perhaps it is sandy and
the moisture drains away. Plants
set in such situation will need to
be started fairly early In the season
so that they are well-rooted before
the heat of summer. The addition OF
humus (peatmoss. compost, leaf
mold to the soil helps to hold
moisture to the roots. The better
this soil preparation the more kinds
of sun loving plants that can be
grown in the troublesome area.
