6 The ILeai.th Bulletin That we have enough water power, if developed, to run all trains, factories, and to light every town in the State. That there is a fall of 7,000 feet from our mountains to the sea. That while deaths from tuberculosis are being reduced yearly, yet we had 2,641 deaths from tuberculosis (all forms) in 1921. That our average yearly rainfall is 50.12. That we are second in the manufacture of cotton goods. That we lead the world in the manufacture of tobacco. That we have the largest pulp mill in the world. That we are second in the manufacture of furniture. That we have the second largest aluminum plant in the world. That we have the largest towel plant in the world. That the sanitary privy law was the best law ever passed by any State, from a sanitary and aesthetic aspect. That we have the largest hosiery industry in the world. That we have the largest denim mill in the world. That North Carolina has the highest mountain east of the Rockies. That more people were vaccinated against typhoid fever in 1921 than any other state. That more children were vaccinated against diphtheria (toxin antitoxin) than any other Southern state. That over 50 per cent of the population of the State are served by Whole-time Health Departments. That one city in North Carolina is the largest distributing center of hydroelectric power in the world. That North Carolina is ninety-nine and one-half (99.5) per cent native stock. That North Carolina has the highest birth rate, 33.4, and one among the lowest death rates, 11.0, of any state in the Union. BIRTH RATE AND DEATH RATE What do we mean by birth rate or death rate? We mean the number of births or deaths per thousand population. For example, we take the number of births reported from a county, multiply this number by 1,000, and divide by the population of the county. This gives the birth rate for the county. For death rate we take the number of deaths reported by the county, multiply by 1,000, and divide by population of the county. This gives the death rate. The actual number of deaths occurring in a county may be large, while the rate is low on account of the large population. When we wish to find the rate for a particular disease we multiply the number of deaths occurring from this particular disease by 100,000, divide this by the population. This gives us the rate per 100,000 population. EXPLANATION OF PLATES Plate No. I shows graphically the number of births attended by physicians, viz., 56,782, or 64.9 per cent and number of births attended by midwives, 30,674, or 35.1 per cent. Plate No. II shows graphically the number of stillbirths attended by physicians, 2,645, or 67.1 per cent, and number of stillbirths attended by mid-wives, 1,225, or 39.9 per cent. Plate No. Ill shows graphically the white stillbirths, 2,051, or 54 per cent of all stillbirths and number colored stillbirths, 1,829, or 46 per cent of all stillbirths. It also shows that of illegitimate stillbirths, 65 were white, 322 were colored. Plate No. IV graphically shows there were 60,529 white births, or 69.2 per cent, 26,411 colored births, or 30.2 per cent, and 516 Indian, or .6 of one per cent. There were 927 white illegitimate births, or 1.5 per cent of all white
