The above picture illus-
trates the growth of one row
of corn and one row ef erota-
laria. Crotalaria is one of
the newer soil building crops
recommended in sandy and
mixed soils of the Fa.nn n
County Soil Conservation
District.
Some of the advantages of
crotalaria for soil improve-
ment use on sandy soils are:
The plant reseeds itself.
It is resistant to nematoda.
It stands droughts well.
It produces a good growth
and a large amount of green
material to plow under.
Crotalaria may be planted
at corn and cotton planting
time with ■ cotton or corn
planter with sorghum plate.
The Soil Conservation Ser-
vice recommends the plant-
ing of 8 to 10 pounds of seed
per acre to secure the best
stands. The seed may , be
covered one-half to one and
one-half inches deep. The
crop should be cultivated as
for corn.
The Fannin County co-
operators who are planting
crotalaria as a soil building
crop are T. A. Murray and
M. H. Luna of Bonham. Both
parties plan to harvest a seed
crop this year so as to in-
crease their acreage next
year.

Vacationists Should
Use Precautions
in Water Sports
Austin, Texas. — Seasonal
advice to vacat'onists con-
cerning the proper precau-
tions to, be used in water
sports was released from the
State Health Department to-
day by Dr. George W. Cox,
State Health Officer.
It was pointed out that, in
view cf the wartime travel
restrictions, vacation pleas-
ures are apt to be limited to
excursions and picnics at
nearby lakes and ponds of
unknown depth, and rivers
and streams of unfamiliar
currents. The usual life-
guard supervision associated
with bathing beaches and
commercial swimming p.ols
is, of course, not available in
such places.
“S w im ming and water
sports are beneficial to good
health provided one’s physi-
cal condition justifies this
type cf exercise,” Dr. Cox as-
serted. “Nevertheless, they
possess dangerous possibil-
ities, if the rules of safety,
through thoughtlessness or
carelessness are disregard-
ed.” Dr. Cox outlined the
following simple rules for
bathing and swimming in
safety: At least one hour
should elapse after a meal be-
fore entering the water; upon
the first indication of fa-
tigue, c:me ashore, call it a
day, and don’t re-enter the
water; if chilled, leave the
water immediately; do not
enter the water when over-
heated; learn to float — this
’s important; never attempt
to rock a boat in a spirit of
fun; never swim in water
that may be polluted. Swim-
ming clcse to or even a few
miles below sewage outlets is
invit'ng the possibility of ac-
quiring disease.
“Excursions, picnics, and
swimming parties contribute
much to a healthy, happy,
normal life, which is espec-
ially desirable at this partic-
ular time when the whole na-
tion is tense and under a
strain,” Dr. Cox said., “It is
by no means advisable to
eleminate these p 1 e asures
from our summer program,
but it is important that they
prove beneficial and not dis-
astrous.”
