Field Notes
We inoculated two hogs for F.
C. Benson a few days ago.
This was for cholera prevention
only.
The farmers of Butts seem to
be using every means and device
to more thoroughly prepare their
lands before planting the seed.
They also are looking up good
seed —those who did not select
them out of their own crops.
We are glad to see this.
About 160 farmers have ap
plied for government inoculin
for cow peas. Those who doubt
the efficacy of inoculating peas
and other legumes should ask
Prentice Ridgeway, Gaily Jinks
and a few others who tried it
last year. In some cases the in
oculin was kept too long before
using it —hence the failure to do
good.
The boys and girls of old Butts
have fallen in line right along.
The corn club has a membership
of 115; the pig club 30; and the
the canning club registers some
where around 100. These figures
exceed any previous year and
everything looks propitious for a
banner crop cf corn, pigs, and
tomatoes for 1915.
What about having a bigger
and better fair in our county
next fall? Let us get together
on this proposition, open up our
purse strings, imbibe some of
the Atlanta, Macon and Griffin
spirit and pull off a three days
affair this time.
The grain that was harrowed
and which received an applica
tion of soda or otherwise ferti
lized is beginning to take on new
life.
Early Edwards will demon
strate several acres in Sudan
grass after his grain is harvest
ed. This is the new and wonder
ful grass about which the wes
tern country has gone wild. It
will grow here successfully.
W. A. Wilson will demonstrate
an acre of Egyptian wheat. This
is to be used primarily for chick
en feed.
M. L. Freeman will try one or
more acres in Soy beans.
These farmers are among those
interested in velvet beans: Dr.
Franklin. G. W. Allen, J, W.
Mayfield, T. S. Carson, S. H.
Mays, J. P. Mcßryant.
W. L. Wilder will plant 1 acre
in tomatoes.
Tom Bell will put an acre in
alfalfa next fall.
Ed Cole has a cow with a won
derful record. He has sold over
SIOOO worth of butter as her
product. She has her eleventh
calf. She should receive a de
cent burial at her death.
Ed Cornell and Stark Gregory
both own sows whose frequent
and prolific litters of pigs are
making them independent. It
pays to own one or two brood
sows.
Diversify to the extent of rais
ing all that you need to consume
at home and then some cotton,
if no more.

HOOKWORM FIGHT
IN FULL BLAST
Many Children Found to
Be Infected
LARGE LIST EXAMINED
Campaign Will Continue
Through May Third-
Considerable Number of
Patients Take Treatment
Dr. Rodgers and his assistant
have made a complete itinerary
of the country, examined 574 per
sons for hookworm disease and
172 were found infected. Of these
146 were strictly rural school chil
dren, and 67 were found infected.
In other words, 46 per cent of
the rural school children in Butts
county have been found infected
with hookworm disease. 574 per
sons have availed themselves of
this opportunity, given by the
State Board of Health, in six days.
This is not as many as Dr. Rod
gers had expected, but this week
he hopes to examine a good num
ber more.
A great many of the persons
coming in who have had one
treatment are remarking on the
great benefit they have derived
from one dose and would hand
in their envelopes for the second
dose at the court house Saturday.
Below is a list of examinations
done at various points:
Jackson, 2 days, 303 examina
tions made, 93 infected with hook
worm.
Flovilla. 1 day, 54 examinations
made, 17 infected with hookworm
Sandy Plains, 1 day, 44 exami
nations made, 17 infected with
hookworm.
Jenkinsburg. 1 day. 143 exam
inations made, 29 infected with
hookworm.
Fincherville, 1 day, 30 exami
nations made, 16 infected with
hookworm.
Every man. woman and child
in Butts county should avail them
selves of this opportunity to be
examined for this intestinal par
asite, most widespread of com
municable diseases in the South.
These examinations are made
free; the opportunity will not
come again. There are persons
%
in Butts county to whom this
treatment will mean more than
can possibly be estimated in dol
lars and cents, for there will be
saving in suffering and unhappi
ness that cannot positively be
computed.
Below are the causes and symp
toms of hookworm disease and
places where Dr. Rodges may be
found during the week:
1. Ground itch is usually the
first symptom; 2nd. Indigestion;
3rd, Pale skin; 4th, Stunted
growth; sth, Lack of energy; 6th.
Inattention to school work and
inability to progress satisfactori
ly; 7th, Dull listless expression
with glistening eyes; Bth, Some
thing the matter, but don’t know
what.
The following schedule will be
observed:
Every Tuesday, school house
Flovilla.
Every Wednesday, school house
Sandy Plains.
Every Thursday, school house
Jenkinsburg.
Every Friday, school house
Fincherville.
Every Saturday, court house
Jackson.
