FehriA<iry, 1930 The Health Bulletin 23 soon ensue a demand for more products than both states can supply. The farmer has been the football of politics longer than any of us can remember. During campaigning he is always promised everything; once election results are announced he is given nothing except a lot of silly advice about "diversification," to the general effect that the cotton farmer should plant tobacco, the tobacco farmer cotton, the wheat farmer corn, the corn farmer wheat, and so on. And on every possible occasion the money he has paid into the treasury is voted to irrigate or drain and bring land now idle under cultivation to further glut the market with farm products. We here reveal means by which our own farmers can be helped; and by no exercise of altruism, for we will be helping ourselves. By eating potatoes and corn bread, not along with, but instead of, wheaten bread; by eating our own fruits, vegetables and dairy products; and by letting outlanders know of the superiority of our products, we can live on more appetizing food, produce a hardier, healthier citizenry, and go far toward assuring the farming and dairying industries of our section returns commensurate with their investments in labor and money.—Editorial in Southern Medicine and Surg-ery. INTERESTING LETTER FROM DOCTOR WASHBURN NOW IN EUROPE Doctor B. E. Washburn, formerly a member of the staff of the State Board of Health and a native of Rutherford County, is spending a year in Europe for special study. After leaving Raleigh about ten years ago Dr. Washburn was sent to Jamaica by the International Health Board, where he has made a fine record. His letter is so interesting that we are sure his many friends in North Carolina will enjoy the extracts which we are here quoting. Doctor Washburn's wife and daughter are with him, the latter studying drawing at the Royal Drawing Society of London. ''Dear Doctor Cooper: "You will see by the above address that my year of study leave has at last materialized. We came here in September and I am taking the course at the London School of Tropical Medicine. It is very interesting but also very hard; in fact, I don't believe I have ever had to work so hard. We are kept busy from 9 to 5 every day except Saturday and I have to put in most of the nights in order to keep up. It may be that I am slow with the work as this is my first attendance at school in about twenty years. We have completed the work in malaria and protozoology under Thomson and on last Friday had the exam, on helmin-thology, the course given by Professor Peiper. The intensive course ends early in March and, during the six or seven weeks of vacation, we plan to go to Italy where I want to study the malaria work being conducted there. When we return in time for the public health course at the London School on April 28, I will be in England until July. That month will be spent in Scotland, with Aberdeen as headquarters. At the completion of the year of study I plan to spend my four months of vacation in the States and we should reach Raleigh sometime during September of next year. "Living in London is quite an interesting experience. There is no end of interesting places to visit—museums, galleries, exhibitions, etc. You never get to the end of the list; and, this is especially true in my case
