Flu Epidemic Claims

Washington, Jan, 12.?-Public health
official iii a statement today ?s)
lima led approKiinately 26,000 persons
die : from influenza and pm;u
moma in ' he United State during the
seven wti-ko preceding January 5.
The estimate was determined after
analysis <>f reports reaching the census
bureau from cities in var;ou.i
partb of the country.
"During the seven weeks from November
1h to Januiiry 5," the state
rner.t said, "the cumulated annual
death rate from influenza and pneumonia
if. excess of the average f >r
the co.> ->ponding period of the last
four yea - was 1, 129 per 100,UUU
popula'. r. in 7h large cities rep-rting
to 'lie United States bureau of
ce n s u s.
"Tr. - is equal to an actual rate
for tseven weeks of 21.7 per 100,000
Applying this rate to the popula'
'. of the United States, app;..x.mutely
120,000,000, yields an est>'i
'< of 26,000 excess deaths for the
si weeks, at the end of which the
m ality had entered a definite de?
only in the western States.
It ?s believed that this estimate
ghly conservative,''
I r.e heaviest mortality thus far,
statement noted, was in mountain
'.i"es. There was a posslbi'ity, it
:, that the peak of mortality may
a have been reached in south At.

Cotton farmers of the old South j
have pioneered \Mtli an idea They
have 1'KOVKl) that earlier eott ?n, J
more cotton, better cotton, can be i
grown on fewer acres with less j
work?if tlie plant is fed vigorously
on a complete and reliable fertilizer j
like V-C. Thus was pointed the
way on which the rest of the world )
is starting with ALL crops.
V-C ?
It's not the bolls that .start
but the bolls that Jttiish?the
ones that hang on and mature
?these are the bolls that pjlo
up your c<*ton profits. V-C
does Us job clear to the end.
