Warn City
OF easles

Three Kodiak children have
had measles recently and more
cases of the disease are expect
ed, Public Health Nurse, Marion
Curtis said yesterday.
In a statement issued jointly
by her and DR. G @. Ba ley, act
ing city health officer, both
warned against the disease, listed
it's symptoms and said that s.
supply OF immune globulin g.
galnst the disease is on hand
The disease is a Severe illness
and can be very seri@us if COM
pIications occur" they said and
added that it is particularly
danger us" to children under
three years of age.
First symptoms OF measles are
those of a cold: runny nose,
slightly inflamed eyes and q
cough The rash does not usually
a. pear foe several days after the
beginning of the illness
Parents are urged by Miss
Custis and Or. Bailey to be alert
for these symptoms and to keep
any children with u cold OF
cough at home. Any child with
even slight temperature should
be put to bed and kept there,
they said, and all cases of mea.
sles should be under medical
care.
A supply of immune globuliD,
a human blood product which
gives a certain degree of temper"
ary immunity, is on hand and
is of value to children who are
known to have been exposed,
Miss Curtis said. If it is given
fair y early in the incubation Pc
Rod, which is from seven to Ia
days, it may prevent the devel-
opment of the disease, or will re-
suit in mild CASE.
The last serious epidemic oil
measles IN Kodiak was in 1889.

A number of Mcdowell county
farmers including M. R. Nanney of
Sugar Hill, Clyde Gillian of Crook
ed Creek, and others have planted
crimson clover this fall to complete
their AAA soil building units.
A good crop of Crimson clover
turned under will increase the yield
of the following crop, say the su-
pervisors of the Catawba Soil @Con-
servation District.
A. C. Walker of Pinnacle Church
community has a good example of
what phosphate will do for bicolor
lespedeza. Mr.. Walker reports that
last year, phosphate was applied to
about half of his wildlife border.
Where the phosphate was applied
the bicolor will average from 6 to
8 feet high. The untreated area will

of the local S. c. S. personnel es-

State College Answers
Farm Questions

Question: How is Granville wilt
spread from one farm to another?
Answer: Granville Wilt is soil
borne disease and may be spread
by surface water or any other
means of moving soil from place to
place. Soil clinging to farm imple
ments or even to the feet of ami
mails will spread the parasite.
Plants from infested beds may car
ry the disease to new fields. The
wilt is caused by very small, rod
shaped organisms which attack
many field crops, vegetables, and
weeds. Entering through the roots
of the tobacco plant, the bacteria
cause their damage by clogging up
the ter-conducting tissues and
producing poisons which result in
the willing of the plant.
Question: At what age is it
safe to begin using young bull for
service?
Answer: The animal should be
at least one year old. Then he
should not be used on more than 10
or IL cows, one service each. TOO
heavy service for young bull may
impair his usefulness. A bull should
be 80 or So months old and we'll
grown before he is allowed to run
with the herd during the breeding
season. At this age he can take care
of 25 or 35 cows.
Question: Should bedding be US
ed in the feed lot for beef cattle
that are being fattened for mark
ct?
Answer: L. I. Case, in charge of
animal husbandry extension at
State College, says: "Too much en-
phasis cannot be placed on the
value of ample bedding in the feed
lot. Cattle that are well bedded not
only make better use of their feed
Marion progress., 1949-10-13

but. due to their clean appearance,
usually sell better when they are
ready for market. Furthermore,
plenty of bedding conserves much
manure that would otherwise be
wasted. This in itself is justifica
ton for the use of large quantiti-
es." Case adds that grain straws,
shredded corn stover, pine straw
and leaves are the most common
bedding materials used in North
Carolina. When straw or leaves are
depended upon for bedding, they
should be gathered dry and stored
or stacked for future use.

HINTS TO FARM
HOMEMAKERS
BY RUTH CURRENT
State Home Denomination Agent

Care in packing away summer
clothes this fall will pay dividends
next year when warm weather re-
turns. Stains and soil, easy to re-
move now, may be "set" if left to
age on clothing.
Store clothes where they are pro-
tected from dust, rust, moisture
mice. insects pests-and also from
unnecessary wrinkling or crushing.
Remove any pins or metal orna.
ments which may leave marks. For
clothes that hang up over the win
ter sturdy wooden or plastic hang
ers are recommended rather than
metal hangers which may leave rust
marks.
Clothes worth keeping are worth
keeping in good condition.

What kind of dresses are most
comfortable for little girls 2 to 6
years old? Mothers would like to
know the answers whether they're
studying pattern books or rumag-
ing through racks of dresses at the
store.
Clothing specialists suggest for
little girls, dresses without waist
lines and belts, roomy sleeves with
out cuffs or bands, and collarless
necklines-low enough in front to
be comfortable. Short sleeves, they
say, are good for all year round
and for summer, sleeveless dresses
with wings or ruffles.
Three fruits-apples, grapes and
pears-head the list of plentiful
foods for October. These fresh
fruits deserve generous use in bud
get meals and sc ol chill
dren's lunch boxes while they are
at their peak of supply and reas-
enable in price. Also plentiful on
October markets will be dried
prunes and other dried fruits. For
a lunch-bbx confection, remove
pits from prunes, stuff with pc
cans or other nuts, roll prunes in
sugar, and pack in waxed paper.
