Accidental Deaths
Show Decrease
The number of deaths from ac
cidental causes occurring in Geor
gia dropped from 2,125 in 1938 to
1,851 in 1939, 374 fewer deaths
having been reported last year,
according to an announcement
made today by the State Depart
ment of Health Director, Dr. T. F.
Abercrombie.
He reported further that the
total number of deaths occurring
in public places, in industry, and
in other unspecified places were
all markedly reduced during the
year 1939 over the number re
ported for 1938.
The leading cause of accidental
death is the automobile, but there
I were 120 lewev motor vehicle ae
eident fatalities in 1939 than in
l^ 2 ®- Deaths from accidents in
industry decreased from 120 in
1938 to 62 in 1939, and the number
of deaths due to unspecified
causes dropped from 615 in 1938
to 514 in 1939,
There was a slight increase in
the number of accidental deaths
occurring in the home. In 1938,
405 home accident deaths were re
ported while in 1939 there were
414.
Falling is second in the list of
accidental causes of death, 287 be
ing reported for 1938 as well as
for 1939. Falling is the chief
cause of accident in the home, and
in 1939 here were 147 deaths in
the home from this cause. Slip
pery floors, small rugs, objects
left lying on the floor, inadequate
lighting, insecure ladders or un
safe substitutes therefor, are the
most common causes of falls oc
curring in the home, according to
Dr. Abercrombie.
He also announced marked re
ductions in burns and conflagra
tions as causes of death in 1939,
although both are important
causes of fatal home accidents. He
pointed out that the use of ker
osene in starting fire, careless
ness while cooking inadequate
precautionary measures against
the always present fire hazard
are responsible for many of these
deaths.
Drowning, the other major
cause of accidental death, showed
no material change in Georgia
during the past two years, the
health director stated.
New Methods for
Farms Would
Increase Income
Georgia farmers could boost
their annual income by millions of
dollars if they would adapt their
agricultural methods to the needs
of modern business. That is the
opinion of purchasing agents and
sales managers of Atlanta’s lead
ing grocery chains whose stores
alone would provide an outlet for
untold quantities of Georgia
grown products, if the state's far
mers would avail themselves of
the market.
“We want to buy Georgia pro
ducts,” they agree. “We buy all
that we possibly can in a com
petitive market. But until our
farmers realize the vast markets
which they are missing here in
our own state, just that long will
we be forced to go outside of
Georgia to buy the goods that
could be raised here.”
Once Georgia farmers realize
their position and begin concert
ed efforts to meet these problems,
Atlanta buyers can see no reason
why Georgia agriculture cannot
cash in on a golden stream of rev
enue that would mean millions
of dollars each year.
A family of nine ears of corn

corn is one large ear, surrounded

garden specimens.

Would-Be Rangers
Give Amazing
Exam Answers
Many of the 400 applicants for
jobs as wildlife rangers were
shooting in the dark last week
when the Division of Wildlife con
ducted competitive examinations.
In the general conservation test
designed to determine how much
the potential rangers knew about
the outdoors and wildlife some of
the answers would get front line
play in Broadway vaudeville.
Have a look.
■Georgia’s state bird is a
zard; some of the other candidates
said robin, mocking bird and song
sparrow . . . alligators were de
scribed by one applicant as harm
ful because “ they slip up behind
your back” . . . Asked to name a
species of animal that lives en
tirely on meat, an applicant listed
“cannibal” ... A predator was ac
cused of being a three-toed ani
ma j ... At least 25 of the would
rangers had positively identi
ej ec j me extinct passenger pigeon.
g re at auk and heath hen . • .
others had seen the Labrador
duck in Georgia.
Other answers that swung far
wide of the mark:
Gambusia are fur bearing fish
in the Geat Lakes; a flounder is
an artificial lure; naval stores are
storehouses for the U. S. Navy;
10,000 quail may be maintained
on one acre; predators are neces
sary to wildlife because they keep
it bunched up; a dove field may
be baited just after the season
closes; a female fox is a “she”;
doves and quail hibernate; aver
age weight of quail is 2 1-4 pounds;
the size and number limit of black
bass in Georgia is six feet.
But listen to this: A Nymph is
fairylike, but isn’t.
Negro Farmers
Livivs Better,
Says State Agent I
Georgia negro farmers, through !
a sound live-at-home program
and a good system of diversified
farming, are learning to live bet
ter, in the opinion of the state's
Negro Extension Agent H. P.
Stone,
In a report to Director Walter j
S. Brown, of the Georgia Agricul- !
lural Extension Service, Stone j
said many farmers are smoothing
out their farm problems through 1
needed adjustments, which, in;
turn, are enabling them to live
better through lean years as well
as periods of prosperity. Negro
farmers, he stated, are more con -
cerned about producing a living
at home and retaining a higher
level of farming than ever before,
The state negro extension agent
said many farmers throughout the
state have finished harvesting
their crops and have turned their
attention to soil building by plant
ing winter legumes for nitrogen,
Here, briefly, are a few high
lights of negro farm activities, as
reported by Extension Age n t
Stone:
Result demonstrations in swine
production being conducted in
Peach and Houston counties show
excellent progress. Nearly 700
negro farmers have enough hogs j
to produce sufficient meat and
lard for the coming year. Food
preservation is another impor
tant phase. One negro farm wom
an in Dodge county has already
canned 600 quarts of fruits and
vegetables for the family needs.
In Mitchell county, Simon Mar
cus decided to see if boll weevil
control pays. Today be knows
His first picking showed an in
crease non-poisoned of 50 per cent in yield Also, over in j
the area.
Mitchell county, 8 4-H club boys
PAGE THREE
have each planted two acres of
corn for feeding out their beef j
calves which they plan to exhibit J
at the fat stock shows.
Marketing is the activity of t
Liberty county negroes. Approx
imately 60,000 pounds of tobacco
have been sold by these farmers,
and nine 4-H boys have raised and
sold 135 fryers. In Greene coun
ty, twenty nine farmers got to
gether in two community meeting*
and agreed to increase their win
ter legume acreage.
