Division Of
Crippled Children
State Board Of Health Of South
Carolina.
WHAT YOUR STATE IS DOING!
The Crippled Children’s Division
of the South Carolina State Board
of Health is taking a very active
part in the program of the pre
vention and correction of crip
pling conditions, and the rehabili
tation of cripples in the state who
are indigent and are under 21
years of age. During the past six
years services have been rendered
to a great number and at the
present time more than 4,000 such
individuals are registered for care.
The program is financed
through an appropriation by the
state which approximates $44,000
per year and allocation of funds
through the Children’s Bureau
which amount to approximately
$95,000 per year. Monies are used
for hospitalization, foster home
care, purchase of appliances and
clinic services. The state is divided
into five districts, each of which
is in charge of a recognized ortho
pedic surgeon. Clinics are held in
each district at weekly intervals.
Approximately 1800 patients are
seen at the clinic each year and
some 600 are hospitalized and
cared for in foster homes. Services
of the Division for Crippled Chil
dren of the State Board of Health
are for all races and creeds. Chil
dren are admitted to the service
through the county health de
partments. Any organizations and
individuals who are interested in
a crippled child can be of service
to the program by reporting such
child, giving name, address, and
approximate age to any repre
sentative of the county health de
partment. There are registered in
the state from individual counties

At the end of February 7, 184
persons certified for WPA employ
ment in South Carolina had found
temporary work in other employ
ment in the state, it was an
nounced yesterday by Lawrence ,|
M. Pinckney, WPA state adminis
trator. Seven out of eight of
these fortunate persons were men,
it was disclosed.
During January 816 other for
mer WPA employees in the state
left WPA projects after finding
other employment. The prelimi
nary figure for February shows
that 686 additional persons had
left for other employment.
In addition 1,870 persons left
WPA projects in South Carolina
during January, and more than
1,600 others resigned during Feb
ruary for reasons unknown, pre
sumably because they had found
other employment.
In South Carolina this year
more than 2,200 WPA employees
have farming arrangements with
landlords and are being released
from WPA projects in accordance
with these landlord agreements.
Persons terminated from WPA
projects to accept other employ
ment may return to their WPA
jobs at the expiration of such em
ployment, provided they have lost
the work through no fault of their
own.
During January 255 persons who
lost their temporary employment
returned to WPA projects. The
preliminary figure for February is
118.
During January and February a
year ago 852 persons returned to
WPA projects after losing other
temporary employment.
Despite the increased tempo of
trade and general business activity
as the result of defense expendi
tures, it is estimated on the basis
of sample surveys throughout the
state that there are still approxi
mately 30,000 families eligible for
WPA employment under the
agency’s present regulations who
are not certified to WPA.

Food Production Is
Big Nutrition Problem
Mr. G. P. Furqueron and chil-
Clemson, April 12.—“If the con
ditions of the poorly nourished
farm people of the state are to
be improved, it will be necessary
to correct some of the basic de
fects of the present farming sys
tems”, declared a subcommittee of
the state nutrition conference in
Columbia, April 5.
This committee, on food produc
tion problems, consists of Dr. H
P. Cooper, director of the South
Carolina Experiment Station; R
F. Kolb, state director of the Farm
Security Administration; and Miss
Lonny I. Landrum, state home
demonstration agent of the Ex
tension Service.
“Many of our future activities
will have to be based on the nu
tritional needs of the family,
rather than on commercial eco
nomic principles”, said the com
mittee. “One of our biggest nu
tritional problems is getting the
underprivileged farmer on poor
land to improve sufficient land to
enable him to produce crops
needed for family food require
ments.
“Such a program cannot affect
the general surplus commodities
problem, since the underprivileged
people cannot purchase many of
the desirable foods. They have to
produce certain foods or they do
not have them.”
Discussing the basic soil condi
tions affecting problems of food
production, Dr. Cooper’s commit-
;ee pointed out these significant
acts:
1. Our producers of food and
eed crops have found it difficult
to compete with growers in
regions with more productive
soils.
2. About 40 per cent of the
state’s farm land is strongly to
extremely acid and not capable of
producing the diversified agricul-
ure desirable in meeting the
arm family’s nutritional require
ments. Much of this type of land
is farmed by tenant farmers, and
practically no opportunity exists
o establish the much needed
ive-at-home program until those
soil deficiencies are corrected.
3. Another 40 per cent, mod
erately acid, is capable of pro-
dren wish to use this means of ducing cotton and tobacco with
expressing their most sincere large amounts of well balanced
thanks to their neighbors and fertilizer, but still too acid for
other friends for the many acts of most economic production of food
kindness to them during his re
cent illness, from which he has
about recovered.

Folks are usually will •
ing to pay more to get
the best. That’s natural.
The best it usually the
cheapest.
Chilean Nitrate of Soda, for
instance! It’s natural, the
only natural nitrate in the
world.
Yet it costs no more..
It contains 16% nitrogen
and small quantities of
other plant food “vita
min” elements, iodine, bo
ron, magnesium, calcium,
manganese, and many more.
Use it r^priarly on all your
crops, in mixed fertilixer
before planting, and as top
dressing and side dressing
later on. That is the way
to get the full benefit
of its fertilizing and soil-
improving qualities.
