Simple Rules for Long Life from Dr. George Meylan, Jan. 24, 1925

Simple Rules for Long Life

Dr. George L. Meylan, professor of physical education and medical director of Columbia University, says the man who reaches the age of 20 with sound health decides whether he will live to be 60 or 80. It is just as easy for the average man to live 80 years as 60 years, Dr. Meylan thinks, and he gives the following simple rules for those persons who would like to prolong their lives:

Eat enough—but not too much.

Play enough—but not too much.

Sleep enough.

Work as hard as you please.

Don’t work when you should be sleeping, playing or eating.

Don’t worry.

Moderation seems to be the keynote of Dr. Meylan’s prescription for old age. He says it is all right to work, but he points out that work has its proper place and must not take the time that should be given to eating, recreation and sleeping. In other words, when the business man leaves the office, he should forget his work. There are men everywhere who go to bed at night planning the work for the yest day. There are men everywhere who take their recreation in a businesslike manner. They make work of it instead of play.

George Ross Recommends Sandhills Grow Tomatoes, Jan. 23, 1925

Tomato Crop. . . George R. Ross Suggests Tomato Crop for the Sandhills. . . Why Not Make the Tomato a Commercial Crop in North Carolina?

The tomato is one of the most widely used vegetables of this day and age as evidenced by the fact that carload shipments of the United States have increased from 16,710 cars in 1920 to 24,005 in 1923, an increase of 7,295 cars in three years. Our neighboring State of South Carolina has increased its shipments from 13 cars in 1920 to 394 in 1924.

North Carolina tomatoes should be planted so that the harvest and shipping takes place from July 1 to July 20 as at about this time the northern markets are bare of this vegetable. There is a wide lapse between Mississippi-Tennessee tomato crops and the New Jersey shipping period. After the New Jersey crop begins to move in large quantities, the North Caolina product would naturally be driven off the markets; but that portion of the crop which would remain in the fields when the northern states begin shipping could be canned. In the 1923 season the Mississippi tomato growers lost money on their tomato crop and this naturally will have a tendency to check production in that section. South Carolina has been increasing its tomato acreage in spite of the stiff competition that the Mississippi crop gives it. It has overcome this competition and the South Carolina tomatoes are preferred over their competitors due to the good grade and pack they ship.

Early tomatoes are probably better adapted to the sandhills sections of North Carolina than any other section of the State due to the light sandy nature of the soil and the susceptibility of tomatoes to e drowned out by such heavy rains as occur in the eastern part of the State. Tomato rust can be controlled by judicial spraying, particularly when the tomatoes are grown on light, sandy soil which drain off quickly after rains.

In developing a tomato industry for the State, it is highly desirable that a large acreage be planted in a locality so that the shipments can be made in carload quantities.
