STATE GIVES FREE
LABORATORY AID
DR.. Dixon Points Out How the
Commonwealth Is Helping
the People

Pennsylvania is maintaining a free
laboratory to aid practitioners in rural
districts who are without the facili-
ties enjoyed by those in cities and is
doing such work for municipalities too
small to maintain their own establish
ments. This is set forth by DIR. Samuel
G. Dixon. State Commissioner of
Health, in his weekend talk on health
and hygiene and he points out how the
State is giving scientific aid.
DIR. Dixon says:
ITO the practicing physician the
laboratory has become a necessity.
There are numerous diseases which
can be determined with absolute ac-
curacy by means of laboratory tests
and with less delay than is possible
without this aid.
The basis of any successful treat
ment must be an accurate knowledge
of the disease. This is why IL is neces-
sary for the physician to have re-
course to the laboratory. 1t makes
certain what would otherwise be in
doubt.
with the miscroscope we can de-
termine tissue changes which indicate
disease and the chemist can determine
the character of certain fluids of the
body which are caused by diseases of
the various organs
Owing to the rapid advance in med
ical science, laboratory work has be-
come a speciality in itself. 1t is impos-
sible for the practitioner in the ma

Marysville. Pa, May Is. - Captain
the streets of Marysville for the past
two decades, died on Sunday. His
death took place at the Perry county
almshouse at LOUISVILLE, where he had
been taken by Chief Burgess Amos M.
Fisher just two days before. He was
S8 years old. Captain Powers is sur
Yived by two sons. George and Joseph

known, was born at Swatara Gap, Leb-
anon county, on April 10, 1928. He
early showed liking for the river and
at the age of II years he piloted his
first raft down the Susquehanna. He
frequently declared that during his
lifetime he was piloted approximately
8, 200 RATS down the river to their des-
tination, any place between Lock
Haven and Marietta. He was also a
farmer of marked ability. At one time
he possessed farms in Dauphin, Perry
and Cumberland counties, aggregating
600 acres. Most of these had been
cleared by his own labor, but untortun-
ate investments and financial troubles
caused his wealth to dwindle and of
late years, he has almost been entirely
dependent on outdoor aid received
from Perry county.
For many years previous to his
death Captain Dan lived in little>log
cabin in a valley between two noun
tains near here. Last year the house
was destroyed by fire and he was Sc

BUSINESS AND CROPS

"A month ago." said Mr.. Zehringer
of the Union Notional bank in COM
menting on crop conditions, Showed
all small grain in good condition and
corn so backward that fears were gen.
eral that the country might again suf-
fer from a marked shortage in that
crop this year.
weather conditions the past month,
however, have almost reversed that
situation. Heavy rains and continued
hot and dry weather following have
had a serious effect on the wheat and
oats. In some sections the crop will
not mature better than fifty per cent
and at this time the final outcome of
the wheat in North Dakota is un-
known. A continuation of present
weather conditions will mean heavy
loss to the farmers Of this state.
cup to the present time, however,
corn has been making wonderful
strides and growing conditions are
about normal for this time of the year.
With an occasional rain and season
able weather, the outlook for normal
corn yield is more promising. The ex-
cess of moisture of May and June is
now helping carry the corn over the
trying period of lack Of moisture.
"The hay crop this year was an av-
erage yield. Alfalfa fields have pro-
duced well and the crops harvested
have commanded good prices.
1T is yet too early to know just
what the situation in the livestock in
dustry will be next winter, but it is
safe to say that those farmers who
prepare to feed few extra head of
good grade steers for next winters
market will find profit in it.
Business conditions are healthy for
this season. The. Mexican situation
has not had any appreciable effect on
conditions. 1t has brought increased
activity in all lines of supplies needed
by the army The presidential cam
paign, for wonder, has not thus far
been used as an excuse for poor bust
ness"

MUST NOT CUT RUST
ATTACKED WHEAT EARLY


have had number of letters from
farmers asking whether rusty wheat
should be cut early in order to keep
the grain from shriveling.
For three years, particularly in 1904,
! carried out a number of cutting ex-
periments to ascertain whether there
was any time previous to maturity at
which it was preferable to cut rusty
wheat. These trials even on rusty
wheat, seemed to indicate that it is
preferable to allow the straw to ripen
normally, for rust does not attack all
Of the plants equally and those that
are not heavily attacked will ripen
some plump seed. If the grain is cut
while there is milk in it, all of it will
be shriveled. Therefore it is my
opinion that the wheat should be al
lowed to stand until by study of the
straw and grain each farmer is con-
WINGED that his particular field is
ready to cut. Usually the straw should
be yellow above the second joint from
the ground. When the kernel is
pinched it should emit no moisture or
milk.
The Burberry Bush
observations made this year and
past years, convince me that the Bar
berry bush, commonly planted as a
hedge, should be declared a public
nuisance and be destroyed wherever
possible. This is great destroyer Of
wheat as it starts the rust early in
May. The sexual stage, male and fe-
male form of the wheat rust is car
ried by the Burberry bush, and seems
to serve as constant reinvigorator Of
the stem of "black rust"
