RED CROSS WINNING
IN FIGHT FOR HEALTH
Better, Stronger Citizenry Now
Emerging Out of Work in
United States.

The American Red Cross as an
evangelist Of better health has looked
| Its problem square in the face. How
| 1t accepted the task revealed to 1t In
| the nations physical condition as
| brought out during the World War,
| and conscientiously applied its activi-
ties to correction forms a vivid chap
ter in the Forthcoming annual report.
| Historically and practically, nursing Is
a basic work for the Red Cross. In its
| public health nursing service, in in
structiOn in home hygiene and care OF
the sick, nutrition classes, first aid
and life saving courses and health CEN
tiers, the American Red Cross is ap-
| plying effectually the lessons learned
during the war and making for
healthier, stronger and better nour-
ished citizenry.
| The task of the Red Cross Public
Health nurse in the 1,240 nursing serv-
country instructing their communities
in health essentials and disease pre-
vention is demonstrating the possibili-
ties of human betterment and the great
! benefits of enlightenment.
| During the last year 313 new public
health nursing services were establish
ed by Red Cross Chapters, and several
hundred services so convinclngy prov
/
ed their effectiveness that they were
taken over by public authorities. In
order to promote this work $4,000 was
| themselves for public nursing The
home visits made by the 1,240 nurses
aggregated nearly 100000, visits to
schools numbered 10000, and in six
months 1,250,000 school children were
inspected by these nurses and where
| defects were found advised examina-
| ton by physicians In rural cOmmu-
| mites this service has made a very
marked advance and has won thou
sands of converts to approved methods
Of disease prevention.
In home hygiene and care of the sick
| instruction, which fits the student in
methods of proper care where illness is
not so serious as to require profess
siOnal service, the Red Cross conduct
ed 1884 classes during the last year,
enrolled 1856 Instructors, 93,44S stu
dents and issued 1886 certificates.
On June 30, 1922, nutrition service
embraced 1889 classes, with total of
1923 children and 1859 enrolled dieti
tians. Seventy-eight food selection
classes graduated 1873 who received
Red Cross certificates. In general
health activities Red Cross Chapters
maintained 377 health centers, serving
as many communities, provided 1881
health lectures for large audiences ev-
erywhere, while clinics numbered over
10000.

COW TESTING IS NECESSARY
Wisconsin Farmer Makes Concise Re.
port Of His Experience to the
Dairy Division.

What the cow-testing work has
meant to one Wisconsin farmer was
stated SO simply and concisely in a
report to an agent Of the dairy divi-
sion, United States Department of Ag-
riculture, that it Is worth passing
along. This farmer says:
"The COW testing in the west section
Of Outagamie county has been carried
on with marked success.
1--WE have become better acquainted
The man, who has been taking good
care of his cows has also become bet
ter known. ~.
1--WE have learned to know our cows
not by what they seemed but by what
they actually are, to understand the
necessity Of selecting heifer calves
from our best cows to be. raised for
our future herd.
I'VE have learned to look on the
dairy COW not as q necessary part Of
our personal property but real live
machine, capable Of returning values
received plus, and that plus depending
largely upon the care, feed, and breed
ing Of the dairy cow" ".

Liberal PROVISION
FOR IRRIGATION
Nancy Reese Puts in
Double Time as
Librarian

Further light on the conditions
surrounding the American Falls pro.
ject at the present time is contained
in q Washington dispatch carried in
the Boise Statesman, which analyses
the appropriations made by congress.
The dispatch follows:
WASHINGTON.-The interior de-
partment appropriation bill reported
to the house Wednesday, carries
most of the appropriations to be
made this session for expenditure
in the west.
The bill makes liberal provision
for irrigation in Idaho, especially
for the American Falls project, and
for the rehabilitation of, Fort Hall
project. The total appropriations
provided for American Falls is one
million two hundred thousand dol
lars, which is accredited primarily
to the Minidoka project. But with
this provisio: 1.% .q@ .ess
with authority in connection
with the construction of the Ameri-
can Falls reservoir to purchase or
condemn and to improve suitable
land for new townsite to replace
portion of the town of American
Falls, which will be flooded by the
reservoir and to provide for the re-
moval OF buildings to such new site
and to plat and to provide for the
appraisal of lots in such new town
site and to exchange and convey such
lots in full or in part payment for
property to be flooded by the reser-
voir and to sell for not less than ap-
praised valuation any lots not used
for such exchange"
This provisio commits the govern
ment to carrying thru the American
Falls project.
For Fort Hall
The Fort Hall item in the bill is
in strict accordance with assurances
given to Congressman Addison T.
Smith by Secretary Fall some time
ago. This section authorizes "en-
larging and repairing canals, repair
ing structures and dam, replacement
of structures" and appropriate $780,
900 to be Immediately available, the
tOIdl COoJ VI lut WUIh OIL Tie project
not to exceed 100000. The bill
stipulates that moneys expended
shall be divided equitably between i
Indian luands and lands in private
ownership. 1t is further stipulated |
that no additional work toward en-
of the project shall be
made until the secretary of the in
terror has made satisfactory agree
ments with private land owners to
repay their proper proportionate
part of the cost of the entire work
to be done. Where the land in In
dian ownership is benefited by the
of the project those
lands must bear their proportionate
share of the cost.
An appropriation of $4,000 is made
to maintain the old Fort Hall pro-
|ect.

Saves Policies

Blackfoot is full of mail order, as
sessment and other health and &C.
cident insurance sold by travelling
agents. Many times "Beebe'' added
to your policy makes the difference
between realizing the benefits Of the
insurance and not.
In one case of life policy because
Beebe selected company which
alone gives first year values, and
because Beebe was on the job
widow received $4,000 she would
have received from no other.
In another case Beebe taking care
of mo funds" check saved widow
100000.
In another case Beebe taking care
of fire insurance premium saved
$4,000.
The other day one Of our local
business men holding an "out-of-
town. health and accident policy,
Thought had thirty days of grace
instead of fifteen" as he expresses
it, loses the benefits Of health and
accident insurance he had paid on
since 1919. If it had been Beebe
policy it would have cost trifle
more, but Beebe would have been
down for the premium, and the claim
would have been paid.
Some insurance is like sieve.

DAIRY
FACTS
CONTRASTING ASSOCIATIONS



tPrepSssd By the uais.d states Dspartmsn,
Of Agriculturs.)
The practice Of testing cows to de.
termine their milk and butter-fat pro-
ducti0n and feed consumption by
means Of contrasting associations has
become widespread. There are now
452 associations Of this kind In the
United States, besides many in foreign
countries. In most cases each associa-
ton has one tester and no more cows
than can be well handled, but there
are some very large ones and some
that are much smaller than the stand
ard. The theoretical number Of MEM
bers In a contrasting association Is &c,
which makes one member for the test
er to visit each working day of the
month. A member Of such an associa-
ton is supposed to have not more
than 80 cows, as that makes a large
days work. If every member had
that number, there would be $50 cows
in the association, but few OF them
have that many.
There is no definite relation between
the number Of members in an associa-
ton and the number Of cows owned
In California there IL one association
that tests 1000 cows and another that
tests AGO, and the number of mem
hers are, respectively, 46 and 100. An
other in the same state has Sc mem.
bers and only 1,439 cows; there are
II associations In California with over
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1922-02-16

1000 cows each. Ordinarily the mum.
Der Of cows in an association runs from
300 to 500, the average for the coun-
try being 429. The number of herds
average 24.8. To have more than one
tester is California practice, and one
association in that state has three. In
contrast to the large associations In
California and few elsewhere, there
are some that are quite small. One
in Massachusetts has 9 members
and 125 cows; another in Kansas has
10 members and IS cows; and In
Michigan there is one with herds
and only 45 cows.
The use Of cooperative cow-testing
associations has resulted in great i'm
provement in the quality of the dairy
cows in the localities where they have
been organized by reason Of the slft-
ing out Of the low producers and the
discovery Of good cows that might
otherwise have been sacrificed.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture collects statistics Of all
the contrasting associations and is.

active on July l each year. It also
