HOW TOKEEP WELL By L. A. Rider, M. D., In Charge,- De irtment of Rural Saitation and County Health Work, louth Caro lin'a Boat'd of Ildalth. For a long time we have accepted the theory thatithe country was heal thier than' the city and city people thought they - might maintain their healthy cofndition' by making yearly excur'sions to the country for their vacation. This 0as a natural supposition for in the country we htave plenty of fresh air and sunlight add fewer persons to a givqn area. Facts recently brought out by -surveys made in the Counties do not bear out this theory. These re ports ,show denths from typhoid and malaria to be much higher hi the country than in the city. This is brought about by lack of sanitation, poorly heated and poorly ventilated school buildings, lack of medical at tention, polluted water and, last but not least, lack of health supervision in the rural district. An educational campaign is necessary to change these conditions and thus reduce the death rate in the country below that of the city where it properly belongs. In the city we have health laws and the city man is forced to obey these laws.l In small towns we too often have these laws which are not enforced, and in the country we have no laws and no power to enforce them if we had. In the city each citizen is made to understand that his standard of liv ing must be such as to come under the law and at the same time he is made to understand that lie is not only re. sponsible for his own health and that of his family, but the health of his neighbor also. A man in the country who lives a mile or more from his nearest neighbor can do' as he pleases with his property. His stable may not be cleaned out but once a year; his hog pen filthy and smelling to high heaven; hid well with an unsafe top whith allows the surface water to drain in; his closet open to flies and chickens and his child with contag ious disease allowed to run at will.

He. may have a case f typhoid fever at his home and through the sale of niilk in town mqy spread many cases of typhoid fever. there. The fa'rmer leads such an inde en dent. existence. He is lord of alf he surveys, and this sort of thing has gone on so long, it is hard to convince him that he owes certain dutie to his neighbors and friends and to society at large. We have all been so busy preaching good habits and good heal th to city folks and making laws for them, we have failed to make the far mer realize his responsibility. Now we are waking up to this fact and feel the need of some law enforce ment in the country. Progressive farmers in all our Counties in South Carolin. are be Iiind the movement, "Better Health for Farm Homes and Communities." The Department of Rural Sanitation of the State Board of Health, by the permission and a'id of your local pa per is going to get out an article each mouath on Better Health. The object of this Department is to establish a full time County Health Department in every County in South Carolina and we stand ready to cooperate with any County beginning this work. No County that does not protect the health and lives of its citizens is truly progressive. It is just as important to knov how much is lost to a County each year by preventable disease as it is to know how much is lost by the boll weevil or the cattle tick. ___0 - SEEK INFORMATION OF CHINA'S COTTON INDUSTRY More trustworthy information as to cotton production and consumption in China is expected to be made avail able as a result of a recent conference b6tween Mr. Chunjen C. Chen and of ficials of the Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates, United States De partment of Agriculture. Mr. Chen, since his graduation from Cornell University, has spent much of his time durin gthe past two or three years in and about the Department of Agri J. S.

On Mr. Chen's return to China in June he will undertake for the asso ciation to develop the cotton industry of that country on a scientific basis. Among his plans he nov hopes to have the association undertake cotton statistical work along the same lines as that now carried on by the United States Department of Agriculture. At Present no trustworthy statis ties of cotton are obtainable from China, so this project is expected to prove of great value to this country especially since Mr. Chen also hopes to be able to produce American Up land long staples in China.

C.~ estimated that China produces an nually about 3,000,000 Vales of short staple cotton, practically all of which is consumed locally, such long staple as is consuned being imported in the form of combed yarns. -In growing long staple cotton, how ever, it is possible that China may be come a competitor of the United States in the world market, provided enough were produced for export. Accurate cotton statistics would keel) the trade in this country informed as to the amount of cotton being grown and the size of China's exports and imports which would enable American dealers to handle their product more intelligently.
