Ship Fertilizer In Cotton Bags praper sewe/ -facilities and the safety of its water supply. The rural communities and the iso-j lated homes have lagged behind in the : program of sanitation until copvpara-j I lively recent years; when the develop- j tanks and other sani-l tary methods of excreta disposal have made it possitde for the rural homes to be as safely sanitated as the city homes. A study of the incidence of typhoid fever shows that it is especially prev- | alent during the summer months. The > reason for this is that a great many ^ases of typhoidfever are spread t'hrough the medium of flies. If one takes all of the precaiit’ons already mentioned; that is, to sani tate his premises and arrange for the proper sewage dispo.sal, to see that he bas a perfectly safe water supply and that the milk is either pasteurized or boiled, his chances of contracting ty phoid fever are much smaller, but I there is still some chance of getting I the infection through food that has expi Soutli4‘rn farmers have «« strongly j hec^nu* accid,entally contaminated by pressed their preference for cotton 1 . that further safeguard' has therefore form anti bags as containers for fertilizer J an unusually large part of the ship- J nients this season have been tniutii._Ln_[-^. fever inoculfttioh^^ \ty~i41 '■ companies .„.,.,.kly inti-i-vals "nj tliree " ' ThegreotestOVERAU value in Americd in.stitute from fertilizer and bug manufacturers disclose that!
