GROWING INTEREST IN
PASTURES.
Farmers of the county nro showing
a great deal of interest in tho improve
ment of their pastures. Tho pasture
demonstration hold at Mr. T. B. Snudors’
pasture sevoral weeks ago brought many
inquiries nbout pnsturo grasses, and some
rather surprising discoveries. Wo know
that there were n good many pastures
whore Dnllls grnss was boginning to
show itself, but it was unexpected to
find that there wore a good ninny pos
tures with carpet grnss, and somo in
which the area is considerable.
SOIL IMPROVEMENT .
ALWAYS IN ORDER—
There is no question that the farmer’s
margin of profit hns boon ontlroly too
small, nnd it 1b eortalnly truo that this
is partly due to fnulty marketing meth
ods. Tho presont gonarnl interest in
marketing questions is henlthy and hope
ful. By intelligent co-oporatioii, and by
the application of business methods to
tho sale of our products, wo should cer
tainly greatly improve our condition. In
fact, this is the most important mattor
for our present consideration. But tho
solution of this problem is not within tha
power of nny individual. It must coma
nbout by tho co-oporntion of ninny. You
cannot secure the benefit by your own
efforts, but must depend’ to a Inrge ex
tent on tho action of othars over whom
you have no control. But thoro is an
opportunity to increase your prolitB by
your own unaided efforts, for the margin
of profit enn bo juBt ns surely increased
by decreasing tho Cost of production us
by increasing tho price of your product.

HOW THE PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE
PROTECTS SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Ono of the very important services
which a Public Health unfse may render
to any community is that of observing
the condition of school children. When
tho schools nro just opening all over tho
country it is necessary to know if our
children who are entering for the first
tlmo, us well ns those who have been in
school for some time, are in good physi
cal condition. If they are not, it is
certain that they cannot possibly accept
tho education which our schools offer,
and it is quite ns much a public duty to
ninko health possiblo for our children ns
it is to put education within their roaah.
For this reason many schools throughout
the country include a physical examina
tion of tho pupils ns n part of their
work, but in schools whore this is not
done, a Public Health nurBO in her rag
ulhr day’s work lmB many opportunities,
because of Iter practiced eye, to note
when they are physically defective. The
signs of malnutrition nro very oasily
detected, and by using nny good pair of
scnlos tho Public Health nurse may easily
prove to pnronts that tho apparently well
boy or girl is below par and should be
given .attention,
In placos whore tliero is regular in
spection of school children by a physi
cian tho Public Health nurBO iB of the
greatest possiblo help. Prof. P. P.
Clnxton, U. 8. Commissioner of Educn
tlon, says; “Health is tho first object of
education. Among tho various agencies
involved in tho effective program for
guarding the honlth, of school children
nnd touching them honlth linblts. none
is more important than tho school mime.
Moro school nurses nro flooded. A school
system without tho nurse |s an incom
plete system.’’
If n nurse ennnot bo employed for this
service nloue, the local Public Health
mirso limy devote a fixed portion of her
timo to this special work. It hns boon
estimated that of the 22,000,000 school
children in tho United States somo
14,000,000 nro suffering from Borne sort
of physical dofoct. No amount of ex
amination liy physicians or even of sug
gested treatment can change this unless
the parents consent to hnviug the chil
li ren given tho enro nnd trontiiiont which
they need. The Public Health nurse,
by lior visits to tho homo and by her un
tiring efforts to explain to .parents what

USEFUL RECIPES.
Dixie Relish—This relish may bo made
of Spanish poppers, or bell poppers may
be used. It is noecssary to put the in
gradients through a food chopper in
order to secure uniform texture.
One qt. chapped cabbage, 1 pt. white
onions, l pt. chopped sweet red pepper,
1 pt. chopped sweet green pepper,
tbsp. salt, 4 tbsp. mustard seed, (yel
low), 2 tbsp. celery seed, (crushed), %
cup sugar, I qt. vinegar. Chnyote may bo
used instead uf cabbage. Soak the pop
pers in brine for 24 hours, (use 1
salt to 1 gul. water). Freshen in clear
cold water for one or two hours. Drain
well. Remove seeds and white sections,
Chop sepiirn:,-ly and measure tin- cab
bage, peppers Olid onions before mixing.
Add spices, sugar and vinegar. Let stand
over night in covered crock or enameled
vessels. Pack in sterilized 10 oz. jars.
In packing, first drain off vinegar to get
a good paid;,of the reliisli. After pack
ing solidly, gnrni-li on opposite sides
of each jar nt scants with slender pointed
strips of red pepper about U inch wide
and 3 inches long. Winn these snips are
neqtiy place-1 in vertical position till'the
jar' to ovorfiowiug with the vinegar in
which tho relish 1ms stood. Paddle care
fully, adjust lid and clamp. Process 10
Health and wealth are synonymous
terms in that the possessor of the for
mer is also the possessor of tho latter.
People usually look upon health as a
thing to which they are entitled, even
aftor violating the laws of nature.
They consider wealth as a goal to
which they can only hope to attain by
attendlug to their business affairs with
the utmost diligence. They realize
that negligence in their business will
mean the Iobb of dollars and cents to
their pockets, yet they aeem to think
that negligence in the case of their
bodied will not have-a similar effect
upon their health.
Consider for a moment the people of
your community. What Is the en
deavor of those whom you engage in
conversation? In the great majority
of instances, is It not the desire to
accumulate material things? This is
all welt and good. The ambition of
every man should be to improve his
condition materially, at least to that
point that may be termed Independent.
But Is not health just as Important,
and, upon second thought, will it not
be considered more important than
wealth of material thingB?
Some people are so dliegent in the
race for the accumulation of money
that they often make of themselves
physical wrecks by disobeying the sim
ple laws of nature relative to the up
keep of that most wonderful meohan-
Jsm called the human body. Alter the
race is won and their goal is reached,
they will invariably see, probably too
late, that it would have been far bet
ter, to.have been less diligent in busi
ness or social activities and have giv
en more rest and care to their bodies.
We would be far better off in the long
run if we would spend one-half as
much thought upon the care of our
physical selves as we do to the pur
suit of riches, The poor man with a
sound body is far more happy than
the Invalid tlch. »
The sick man is a liability to his
State, while the well 1 man is an asset.
She cost for the care of one sick, per
son will be more than suflfclent to
maintain the health of a score of
healthy people. So important was this
matter to the people of Georgia as
a whole that the Legislature a few
years ago created an organization
kpown as the State Board of Health
whose duty jt is to advise the people
and help .them to avoid sickness and
to maintain health.
The State Board of Health will he
glad to advise your community in re
gard to remedying any unsanitary con
ditions and impure water supplies
which would invite the outbreak of an
epidemic of some kind. It gives in
struction how to successfuly combat
carriers of diseases such as flies, mos
quitoes, etc. ~?Keif "’laboratories aid
the physician in making diagnoses of
diseases, such as malaria, typhoid fe
ver, diphtheria, gonorrhoea, Byphllis,
etc., free of any cost to you. They
manufacture and distribute to you free
of charge typhoid vaccine and tne POs-i’
teur treatment for bites of rabid ani
mals. You are supplied with diphthe
ria antitoxin and smallpox vaccine at
a cost far below market price.
The amount of work done by the
State Board of Health and the number
of- people which they are enabled to
serve 1b either limited or enlarged
each year by the amount of funds set
aside hY the Legislature for this work.
It has for a long tipie been recognized
as a’fact that the healthier the people
of a Bttae are the greater are the
assets of that state and the more pros
perous, happier and more content are
its people.-
Where $300,000 Goes
Harvesting Wild Oat Crop
The penal Institutions of our State
will run a very high rate of infection
in the venereal diseases. The State
Board of Health has the opinion that
at least one-fifth of the prisoners have
syphilis. The very fact that they have
this disease may account for their in
fraction of the law, and It surely does
account for their inability to perform a
a day’s work.
Putting the Academy for the Blind
with its blind from birth, the Insane
Asylum and the penal institutions to
gether, venereal diseases in these in
stitutions are costing the taxpayers
of our state over 8300,000 per year,
yet we hear of various methods of tax-
raiBlng schemes being discussed to in
crease revenue. We hear of reduc
tion of operations for many and varied
laudable causes, and what is being
done to reduce this particular enor
mous expenditure? What methods of
law enforcement do you know of, how
manyMandlords and taxicab operators
have had their property confiscated be
cause it iB or has been Improperly
used? Why not out off the expense
of the taxpayer before it begins?
Those who are Infected should be
treated at least unt|l they are non-in-
fectlous, but why not remove the cause
of the infection? .Why not Invoke the
good laws on our statute books, es-
peciaiy the Acts of 1917-18?
The grand juries, the solicitors gen
eral and the judges should have the
aid and assistance of all good citizens
and clean up the state. We need our
laws enforced to prevent infection. We
need ample funds to treat those in
fected and the continuation of the free
Wassermann test for diagnosis.

GEORGIA PHYSICIANS INVITED
CLEAN UP THE PEACH ORCHARDS.
SerloiiB infestation of poaches ngaiu
tills season with curculio nnd brown rot
hns shown two tilings.
First, that spraying or duBting alone
ennnot bo ’depended upon to control these
posts.
Second, that orchard sanitation hns
proven of groat value in tho control of
these ’ pests.
By orchard sanitation wo mean tho
removal or destruction of diseased fruit
nnil brunches nnd tho plum thickets,
weeds, otc., where curculio may pass
the winter in safety.
Some growors who had hail fruit in
1920 eleanetl up tlioir orchards right
after the crop was hnrrestod, using great
care to remove rotten fruit from tho
trees nnd from the ground. This wns
followeil by plowing to turn undor the
weeds nnd trash in which curculio could
hibernate. After the lenvos hail fallen
tho trees wore pruned, using cure to re-
liiovo twig Clinkers caused by the brown
rot fungus passing from the decayed
fruit into tho twigs. Wild plnui tliickots
in or near the orchards were dug up and
burned to destroy the placos whore cur
culio feed and breed early in the spring.
Orchards which have beon well spray-
mid then given from tlireo to four ap
plications of spray during the season
have produced high grade fruit in 1921
with n very small phn-eutage of wormy
nud rotten fruit us compared with the
season of 1920.
Orchards which have been sprayed
ed in 1921, but which did not have tlie
sanitary measures applied in 1920 fol
lowing the harvesting season, have shown
a high percentage of wormy nnd rotten
fruit this season, thus proving that spray
or dust alone cannot lie depended upon
to control these pests.
From the experience of the past two
seasons some growers have learned tlie
importance of orchard sanitation, and
all growers who intend to make a success
of the pencil business may profit hy fol
lowing the example of the growers who
cleaned up their orchards in 1920 nnd
produced good fruit the present season.

The week of July 11 to 16, inclusive,
is one of the considerable moment to
the physicians of our State. Through
the kindness of Emory University a
week of intensive study of the ven
ereal diseases has been arranged, Sig
days with six periods each have been
agreed upon by the faculty. The fore
noons will be devoted to iectures by
the professors and from two o’clock
in*, the afternoons until night clinics
will be under way at all the hospitals
In the city, but especially at Gray
Clinic. Invitations have been sent out
to every physician in the state, and
when this article was writteii 300 had
accepted. The course is entirely free;
no oh&rge whatever is made and tha
prospect is that Atlanta will be the
Mecca for hundreds of our doctors for
the period riienttoned above. It is a
wonderful 'opportunity. It is a possible
that reduced railroad rates will
be granted, and the chairman of

The recent annual meeting of the

went on record favoring our State
Board of Health and endorsing it and
its work. This Board being one of
such importance and its work so close

fare of thd State as a whole, we are
reproducing the resolutions from the

Georgia Medical Association, Annual
Meeting, Rome, Ga., May, 1921, de
sires to express its appreciatlqn to Dr.
T. F. Abercrombie, Commission of
Health and Secretary of the State
Board of Health, to ,the Board of
Health and to all the directors of the
different departments of the State
Board of Health for their effective and
most efficient work during the pres
ent administration of the Commission
er of Health. Secondly, the Medical
Association of Georgia desires to ex
press its approval of the workings of
the Bills County Health Law. This is
illustrated by the tremendous im-
■provement "in counties - since the Ellis
law has been put into effect.
Second. The Medical Association of
Georgia wishes to call attention of the

and the Sta^e Legislature to the ef
fect that less than one per cent of
the State appropriation of the State
Legislature is for the protectioh of the
people's health and that the people’s
health with limitations Is purchas

Lastly. The Medical Association of
Georgia desires to call attention of
the Governor and tne Legislature, the
State Board of Health, to the fact
thpt Georgia appropriates less per cap
ita for health and to the State Board
of Health than Alabama, Virginia,,
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Florida. Georgia, appropriates only
$8.01% per capita, Alabama 6.03, Vir
