fourth in value Of any field crop
IN the country was cited along
with the discussion Of the new
legislation regarded as an i'm
portant need. Hall added that
the tobacco industry provides the
main income for three million
people in the United States.
The Farmville area growers
were told 4.176.902 pounds of to-
bacco we're sold on the local
market for 81 ,520.H7 at an aver
age price CT S36.73. Hall said
these figures represented 44l,172
pounds more than was sold here
a year ago. Cash receipts Of
farmers were reported up Sl32.-
739 over the 1858 total paid out
here. He termed this year the
best in local sales since the
1867 crop.
Another speaker. r. D. Sears.
supervisor of the Southside E,x-
pertinent Station in Charlotte
county. discussed the perform
ance of a number of leading va
rieties and breeding lines OF to-
bacco that were tested through
out the dar! tobacco belt in 1859.
Sears cited eight varieties and
breeding lines which were tested
for yield and value. He noted
that quality and buyer accepta-
bility were also studied with the
objective in mind Of offering the
grower the best recommended
lines available.
Of the tests conducted, he said
the older and more favored, va
rietles still produced the best
quality tobacco. Among these are
Walkers Broad Leaf. Brown
Leaf, Lizard Tail Orinoco, Nance
and Hastings.
The experimental types dis
cussed included the disease re
slstant group. Virginia 3l2, G33l
1904 and 1891 303). Sears said
the yield Of the disease resistant
varieties had proven satisfactory,
but that quality was not equal
to that OF the older varieties.
He told the farmers that prog
ress had been made, and that
efforts would be continued to
make the disease-resistant varle-
ties equally capable OF producing
quality tobacco the kind that
would be a c c e p t a ! e to the
buyers and bring the top price.

Devised Program
OF Area Teaching

From the Lougwood College Rotunda)
The last-minute student teach
ing program devised for Long
wood students teaching in the
Farmville area is proving quite
successful.
Thirty nine practice teachers
travelled from 80 to so miles last
semester to six schools in adj
iacent counties. During this Sc
mester so other students will
practice teach under the same
program in Appomattox, Buck
ingham. Cumberland, and Char
lotte counties.
Dr.. Francis G.. Landlord, Jr.,
college president, stated that al
though the program had to be
set up in a hurried fashion, the
only READ problem encountered
was that the girls had to be out
all day, rather than for the two
or three hours when they taught
in Farmville schools. The girls
conmufed each day in college
owned automobiles.
Some of the girls taught two
days per week during the past
semester. while others taught
three days per week. Those
scheduled in the nine-week pro-
gram taught on a five-day-a-
week plan.
Next fall. DR.. Landlord states,
all of the local student teaching
win be done on the nine week
block arrangement.
The state requires nine weeks
OF teaching or the equivalent
thereof for a teaching degree.
The girls who taught last Sc
nester feel that the system
worked satisfactorily and i'm
posed little hardship. Most of
| them prefer the nine-week block
routine to the two or three day
per week plan, however.
Other counties are interested
IN the program and several are
interested in having practice
teaching Incorporated into their
schools.

Don't Kill Dog
In Case 1t Bites,
Physician Warns

Physicians and health authorities
were strongly urging this week
that whenever a dog bites a human
being, he should be penned up
and not shot, as the shooting de-
stroys the possibility of discover
ing whether or not the dog had
rabies, in plenty of time to i'm
munize the victim.
This was brought forcibly home
this week when a boy was bitten
by a dog and the dog was shot be-
tween the eyes, thereby destroying
the brain and any chance the la
boratory might have for establish
ing whether or not the dog was
rabid and whether or not the in
dividual bitten should receive anti
rabies treatment.
DR.. Arthur Jones, county health
officer explained that rabies or
hydrophobia was a disease con-
tracted from the bite of an infected
animal. The disease is always fatal
and there is no treatment for 1t,
so the only treatment is preven-
ton, he cautioned. This is accom-
plished by administering vaccine
to any who may have been bitten
by a rabid animal.
He said an animal may be infecti-
Gus for as long as a week before
it becomes sick but after once be-
coming sick it will die within three
or four days. Then the animals
brain may be examined and the
condition known in short time.
But he said, when an enraged
friend or relatives puts high
powered bullet into the brain, it
destroys any chance of determin-
ing the cause.
The health officer urged that in
case of dog bite that the animal
be penned up and observed for
ten or eleven days. If the dog is
still healthy at the end of this
time no treatment is necessary, but
if it should become sick and die
there is ample time for examina-
ton of the brain and if rabies is
found. to institute treatment on
the person who has been bitten.
