Leprosy is one of many “filth” dis eases, dying out as civilization and soap distribution progress. Cleaning up a stagnant pond will free a neigh borhood of malaria. Cleaning up the world’s filth spots would free the earth of many dis eases. If nations that recently spent hun dreds of billions killing each other would spend a few billions to rid the earth of mosquitoes, flies, rats and mice, the worst diseases would van ish. Doctor Price, scientist of Cleveland, says vitamin D prevents diseases called “degenerative,” such as cancer, heart disease, influenza and pneu monia. — Dairy farmers will be interested to hear that Doctor Price recommends spring butter from the milk of cows grazing in the sunshine. This vitamin D he calls the “sunshine vitamin.”, Cows get the vitamin, stored up by the sun, in spring grass, and return it In their milk. Here is real flying news, important to all interested in moving about the earth. Henry Ford has perfected an all- ‘ metal airplane driven by three Pack ard Diesel motors, burning crude oil. The machine is expected to carry eleven passengers one hundred miles at a fuel cost of $2.16. This means that the fuel cost of taking eleven passengers across the continent or across the ocean would be $64.80, less than $6 each. There is no cost for right of way, little for terminals and for wear and tear.

Iteverend ladies will now proceed to prove that Samuel' Johnson was wrong when he said a woman preaching was like a dog standing on its hind legs. It is not that she does it well, but you won der that she does it at all. Good preaching depends on sincer ity, and that is woman’s specialty. Russia laments its “best poet,” Vladimir Mayakovsky, who killed him self recently, leaving his brain to the “So r institute of Brains.” It was dissected, studied, found to weigh 1,700 grsuns and put away with the brains of Lenin and others. It was a big brain, heavier by 400 grams than the average, but not wise enough to keep the poet from killing liimseif. SPOT CASH PRICES The poet’s farewell letter requests the “comrade government” to take care of Ids mother and sister, also “Leila Brik and Veronika Polons kaya.” The last two ladies both loved him, at least he thought so, and he killed himself because he couldn’t decide Democratic Clubs Meet Saturday, 26 Under the rules of the Demo cratic party, each Democratic Club in the County shall meet on the Fourth Saturday in April of each election year for the purpose of re organization and the election of officers and delegates to the Coun ty Convention.

Every club in the county is urg ed to meet and organize on Satur day, April 26th, 1930, and appoint delegates to attend the County Convention, which will be held at the county seat on May 5, 1930, at eleven o’clock.

Dixie Theatre, Friday and Satur day, April 25.26 Mr. Mitchell, attorney general, warns the senate judiciary committee ihat “further stimulating activities of prosecution under any law will get us into difficulties.” He told the com mittee that iu the last nine months the Dumber of federal prisoners has increased by 6,277. It will comfort bootleggers and their associates to know that if more of them are locked up the government will hardly know what to do with them. Lack of employment is said to be increasing throughout the world.

We should plant more sorghum on our farms and use it during the winter to take the place of grasses and oth er succulent feeds, the lack of which reduces milk production, and, at the same time, the size of cream checks during this season.” Then, with sorghum seed, the easiest crop in the world to pro duce, selling at the present time for $2.50 per bushel, and very sel dom selling for less than $1.50 per bushel, our faimers could make a very nice cash crop from this, source. Watch after the little things on the farm, and the big matters will take care of themselves. X Must Enter (Contests Before May 1 The attention of the farmers of the county is called to the fact that unless a special provision is made, the time for entrance into the State Five-Acre cotton, corn, and sweet potato contests will be out on May 1st, according to Thos. W. Morgan, county agent. A large number of farmers have already entered these contests, and more are expected to enter within the next week, says Mr. Morgan. The number in the cot ton contest is 20, in the com con test, 6, and in the sweet potato contest, 2. Application blanks may be had by writing the county agent or coming by his office. . McCormick county farmers have made a splen did showing in these contests in the past, and should see that the county is well represented this year. t tXt A Sun Loving Borer The flat-headed apple-tree bor er, a fruit-tree pest found from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Florida and Texas to Cali fornia, has a decided penchant for the sun, and in combating it the orchardist can take advantage of this fact. Low-formed branches on the south side of trees, and bo ards set in the ground so as to throw a shadow on the trunks of newly planted trees, will cause the borer beetles to seek sunnier places to lay their eggs. Newly trans planted young trees are often en tirely girdled and killed by borers and should be watched carefully. It is of prime importance to keep trees in a vigorous growing con dition, as such trees are rarely, if ever, ffiju^ed. The beetles appear and begin laying eggs soon after the blooming period of apple trees. X The success of the sweet-pota to crop depends largely on the vig or with which the plants start growth after being set in the field. ’ Successful growers set their plants after the ground has become thor oughly warm and when soil mois ture is favorable for quick growth, either immediately before a rain or as soon after as the soil can be worked. work.
