Because of. t he fact that 1198 of the 1515 reported deaths from tuber culosis in the state last year were negroes, a proportion of more than three to ore of negro deaths to white deaths, the South Carolina Tubercul osis Association and its affiliated county organizat'ons are giving special co-operation to the negro leaders in a number of counties and to various interested agencies in the observance of Nat onal Negro Health Week, April 1-8. The program includes educational talks, the showing of slides and films, the distribution of literature, health programs in the schools and the holding Of clinics for the discov ery of early cases of tuberculosis. tXt L- Community Work By One Club While home demonstration work is frequently thought of in relation to the necessary activities of the house- holdV especially in connection with the selection and »preparation of food, the construction of clothing, or methods of doing var'ous household tasks, the woman who is a member of a home demonstration group finds that her interests touch practically everything that touches those in the home in any way. The outside of her home comes in, for attention as well as the inside, and she reaches out st'll further to those commun'ty mat ters which also affect her family. Here are some interesting gleanings from a report received by the United States Department of Agriculture from the Woodsdale home demon stration dub, in Brunswick County, Va.: “We chose for our community work the serving of a one-dish hot lunch at the commun'ty school. Last winter during the coldest months we served one hot dish free to all the little school children in our two room school. We expect to do the same this year. “In August our club members gathered at the home of a member, each brinigng what she could from her garden, and canned 110 quarts of tomatoes and soup mixture to be used to serve hot lunches this wint er. “Every member co-operated with the Garden Club by planting a rose bush by her mail box. One member took first prize at the county fa ; r for having made the greatest im provement in her mail box. “Club members are making an ef- fore to eliminate the bill boards along the highway by refusing to al low them to be put on their proper ty. “The school was furnished with new seats for entertainments as McCORMICK MESSENGER.

XX T The large losses to oat growers caused by the smut diseases ’can be 4 most wholly prevented by disin fecting the seed with formaldehyde shortly before sowing. One pint of formaldehyde added to 40 gallons of water is enough to treat 40 bushels of seed. Spr : nkle the solution on the seed while it is being shoveled from cRie pile to another, cover with blank ets and leaves for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Care to avoid freezing cr heating is essential, and if sowing isf delayed the seed shoifd be spread out and dried. IXI Weeds in the seed wheat are a ccmmon means of increasing the weed crcp on farms wherever wheat ’s grown. In an investigation to de termine the amount and kinds of weed seeds being sown with wheat, 55 samples of seed wheat are collect ed from as many grain drills operat- iog on farms in the main spring- wheat areas of Minnesota, North and South Dakota. Only two drills were sowing clean seed. The seed wheat in the others contained an average i cf 2 per cent by weight of weed seed, indicating that an average of 53,000 weed seeds per acre were being sown on these 53 farms. When weeds in large numbers grow in the field with whea^ they crowd and shade the ' crop, and use moisture and fertility in the soil that would otherwise be availull e for the wheat. Clean land and pure seed will result in the pro duction of more wheat, and it will /bring a better price on the market. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, m si County of McCormick In the Court of Common Pleas.
