Cancer Kills One in Ten

The federal health service. rc-en-
forcing repeated advice from state

ciety for the Control OF Cancer. has
issued a cancer circular for pahlic dis
trlbutiOn. IL declares one out OF every
ten persons over forty dies OF cancer.
While the great war cost the United
States about $1,000 lives. cancer in
the same two years claimed 10000
people In this country.
The government agency warns that
cancer is unquestiOnably increasing
throughout the world. although il is
durable II treated early.
AT the beginning cancer is usually
painless and difficult TO detect" the
new bulletin points out AT its first
small growth IL can be safely and
easily removed by a competent. sur
geOn. Cancer is not a constitutional
or blood disease. is not contagious.
and is. practically speaking. not her
ecitary. Persistent abnormal dis
charge or bleeding is suspicious. Sores.

which do not heal. and warts. moles or

pain. vomiting or diarrhea. calls for
thorough and competent medical ad-
vice as TO the possibility OF internal
cancer. A doctor who treats a sus-
picious symptom without making a
thorough examination does not know
his business"
The bulletin emphasizes that no
medicine will cure cancer and that
early diagnosis is all-important.

seab Fungus Attacks Corn.

Scab Fungus Attacks Corn.
or those fungi known 10 cause scab
In wheat the most important one also
attacks corn. One Of the ways il lives
over winter is on the decaying corn
stalks left on the ground in the fields.
Wheat Is often sown on the corn land
with these cornstalks left on the sur
face. The following season the fungus
spreads from the infected cornstalks
to the wheat heads and causes blight
ing.
In addition 20 wheat and corn. the
disease attacks rye. oats. barley and
many grasses. The scab fungi also
live over winter on the infected stub
bic and decaying straw left on top Of
the ground. and on infected grass
stems left around the edges Of the
field. These fungi spread from this
material to the next seasons crop.
Prevent Winter Killing.
II is a common practice In some sec
tons OF the winter wheat belt to
spread straw on the winter wheat az
ter the ground Is frozen. in order to
hold the snow. Clean straw from win
ter wheat spread on the fields late In
the winter. after the ground is frozen.
is not dangerous In spreading scab TO
The next years crop. This straw holds
the snow and moisture and prevents
the plants from being broken by the
wind. When p.owed under the next
summer II adds humus to the soil.
Turn the stock into the straw piles
from the badly diseased wheat and
spread the manure on the ground the
following year. Such straw should
never be spread on the fields. for II Is
sure to carry scab into next years
crop.

however. are regarded as important.
First, the best wheat Obtainable should
be used for seed. This should be thor

wheat should be- sown on thoroughly
plowed land-land where the old corn
stalks. wheat stubble and grass straw
have been entirely plowed under. This
can be accomplished by use Of a drag
chain. All grass and straw should be
burned or otherwise removed from
hedges. fence rows. fence corners and
nearby waste places. These waste
places should be either plowed or
burned of.
Wheat sesb Takes Heavy Toll.
Winter wheat everywhere east.E the
Great Plains was heavily infected with
scab this year. Spring wheat also suf-

The oiFmining and potash group

branches Of this group, Judge James
B. Owens of Denver, Colo, was
chairman, and introduced B, G. Nels
son OF Seattle, who spoke on pot
ash"
Nebraska is in the limelight as
never before" stated Mr.. Nelson,
for potash is one of the most vital
industries to the whole people of
the United States. | do not consider
the Pacific coast potash industry as
competitor of the Nebraska pot
ash as we do not ship this far east"
A committee appointed by the
chairman consisting of ]. +. Muir
ply, r. p. kirkpatrick, and B. G.
Nelson drafted resolution urging
adoption of the Walsh-Pittman bill
now before congress, which would
release many acres of government
mineral lands for leasing, and fur
nislf employment to many discharg-
ed soldiers and others now unem-
ployed.
The group also passed resolu-
ton calling upon congress to pro-
tect American potash from compe-
tition with prisoner manufactured
German potash which is ready to
be shipped in a great quantity.
