Holmes dot Program
To Be Concluded By
Health Department

DR.. w. H. Weeks, County
Health Officer, announces that
Holmes county will again receive
the D. D. T. Residual Spraying
program and if the weather per-
mits, it is expected that the spray
ing will begin on or about March
81. The program has again been
made possible through the ap-
preparations and aid given it by
the Holmes County Board OF
Supervisors, the County and State
Health Departments.
1t is the general opinion that
this is one of the best programs
ever used in the county.
The program began in l945.
with primary objective to rid the
county of malaria which is car
ried by the anopholes mosquito
according to the Health Depart
ment records, good job has been
done.
Although this is primarily a
malaria control program the fly
has become almost extinct in some
sections of the county due to APP
plications of DOT in the home and
outlying buildings" DR.. Weeks
said.
The work will be carried on in
much the same manner as in the
previous years. Five crews of
three men each will do the spray
ing. All buildings in Holmes
county where live animals are
kept will be sprayed. The same
territory covered last year will be
covered again this year. In Lex
ington and Durant proper, only
the outlying sections which con-
sist of sub-standard houses will
be sprayed.
The Health department asks for
the usual cooperation from the
people in preparing houses, barns.
and other buildings for spraying
so that as little time as possible is
lost by crews and proper spraying
may be done.
In preparing your house or barn
for spraying DR.. Weeks says the
following steps should be taken:
l. Remove everything from the
walls.
2. Everything must be pulled
away from the wall to the center
of the room and covered over.
3. Everything in the kitchen
must be well covered.
4. Remove all livestock from
barns. sheds, etc.
5. Some responsible member of
the family must be present at the
time of spraying
James S. Perrin is project super
visor of the work. His office is
located in Holmes County Health
Amy complaints, COM
ments or criticisms of the work
should be directed to him.

100000 Pines
Planted In CountyAs
Flood Control Measure
Soil Conservutionist
Tells Of Work
To End Erosion

The first two months of 1919
saw the beginning of an extensive
tree planting program as part OF
the flood control works set up for
Holmes county. 100000 trees were
planted on seventeen farms in the
Owens Wells section and were for
the most part planted in gullies
and steep, eroded fields. 1t is
these areas that contribute most
to floods by permitting the rain
fall to run off and carry with it
large quantities of soil.
1t is hoped that pine seedlings
will be available in sufficient
quantities next year and succeed
ing years to permit planting a
minimum of half million trees
year until all the eroded areas
designated for trees have been
planted and healed, it was said
this week by c. w. Comfort of the
Soil Conservation service in
charge of the project.
Because of the seriousness OF
the flood problem several govern
ment agencies including the Soil
Conservation service, U. S. Fores-
try service. State Extension SER
vice, State Forest service and the
P. M. A. are working together
through the local Soil Conserva-
ton district and farmers to lick
the problem of floods.
The government agencies fur
nish the Soil Conservation dis
trict and the farmers with trees
and labor for planting and the
farmers protect the trees from
fire. Several farmers have al
ready plowed fire breaks around
their young trees and have asked
their neighbors to be particularly
careful with letting fire get out.
Idle fields and quilted areas
when planted to pines increase the
value of land by ten dollars an
acre as this is the approximate
cost of trees and labor. Returns
should come in from these trees
within Is to 20 years after plant
ing, through thinning for pulp
wood and fence posts. When the
trees reach diameter of ten in
ches they should produce a mini
mum of 800 board feet per acre.
