POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL
DR.. Frederick r. Green,
Editor of Health"
REDUCING BLOOD PRES
SURE

HIGH blooc pressure is one of the
~ constant dangers of middle life
The Life Extension Institute of New
York has found that overweight is one
of the most frequent causes of this
condition. If this is true, the reduc-
ing of weight ought to be the most
effective way of bringing down the
blood pressure.
That this is sound reasoning Is
shown by practical experience. When
ever the weight is reduced by proper
regulation of the diet, the blood pres
sure falls as the weight goes down.
Overweight is, of course, only one of
the causes of high blood pressure. 1t
may also be caused by Br:ght's dis
ease, chronic infections. such as in
fected teeth or tonsils, infections
around the gall-bladder or the appen-
dix. Before beginning to reduce ones
weight. one should first be sure that
there is no other cause for the high
blood pressure. This can only be done
by careful physical examination by
competent physician. But if all these
possible causes have been ruled out
and the blood pressure still remains
high, then the safest and surest way
of bringing the blood pressure down
to normal and keeping it there is by
reducing the weight by proper diet.
This often not only reduces the
blood pressure, but it also relieves
many of the other symptoms of over
weight, such as palpitation of the
heart, breathlessness on walking or
going upstairs, pain or swelling in the
feet, ankles and knees, dizziness and
faintneSs.
Sometimes marked relief is felt In
4S hours after the weight-reduction
diet Is begun.
Most middle-aged persons eat too
much, especially too much meat,
starches and sugars, and too little
fresh fruit, vegetable and milk. Their
food is so concentrated that the bow
els have little to work on and so elm
ination of waste is poor. They need
more bulk and less nourishment.
Meat once day, for some meat Is
needed, whole wheat bread, toasted in
the morning, no cream or sugar in
either coffee or tea, and not more
than one cup of either at meal. No
potatoes, but all the spinach, cab
bage, cauliflower, onions, celery, rad
ishes, carrots and tomatoes you want.
Drink at least eight glasses of pure
water every day.
Rapid methods of weight reduction
by the use of drugs are dangerous.
The only safe way is gradual but
steady reducing by regulating the diet
and then keeping the weight at a
proper amount. Clear the accumu-
lated waste out of the body and then
give the body as much as it needs and
no more. Bringing the weight back
to normal will not only reduce your
blood pressure, but will also reduce
your waistline and relieve you Of many
other troublesome symptoms.

Flint and Dent Corns
Have About Same Value

Flint corn seems to have about the
same feeding value for hOgging down
purposes as the dent corns, according
to the results of test conducted at
the South Dakota experiment station.
Hogs were pastured on plots of Mime
sofa No. IS, Wisconsin White Dent
and flint corn. Only very slight differ
ences in the rate Of gain on the vari-
Gus varieties were noted.
In this case the dent varieties had
an advantage because they produced
large yields and would carry more
hogs to the acre. However, the test
indicates that in sections where reli-
ance must be placed on flint corn such
varieties can be used for hoggine
down.

Cooperative Marketing Is
Gaining in Importance,
Statistics Show.


prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
AS a marketing institution the
farmers live stock shipping associa-
ton is gaining in Importance, accord
ing to recent statistical study made
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. 1t appears that the pres
ent tendency as regards this institu-
ton is toward the well-organized as
ISOLATION, with large enough men,
bership and operating over a big area
to provide volume of business suffl-
cient to insure the economies which
come with large scale operations.
Furthermore, with the larger units
there appears to be demand for
managers with training and expert
ence in the marketing of live stock.
The results of the recent study by
the Department of Agriculture have
been released in a preliminary report
prepared by r. Fl. Ellsworth Of the d.
vision of agricultural cooperation.
The study is based upon reports re-
ceived from 1,547 associations located
in the rural sections and 26 farmer
controlled sales agencies established
in 20 of the larger terminal markets.
Active Associations.
One of the existing associations has
been operating since 1888. About one
half of the associations have been ac-
tive for five years, over 10 per cent
have been active for ten years, and
nearly 3 per cent have been active for
fifteen years. Ninety-four per cent
of all the associations are in the II
North Central states. The three states
of Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois are
credited with over one-half of all the
live stock marketing organizations.
The associations in the same three
states contain 43 per cent of the total
membership of all the associations.
These three states with Ohio contain
over So per cent of the total MEMBER
snip. Average membership per asso.
citation ranges from 444 in Ohio where
most of the associations are Orga Jjzej
on a countrywide basis to 80 In North
Dakota. The averages for several of
the leading states are as follows: In
diana, PSI; Michigan, 213; Illinois,
2O6; wisconsin, 2O3; Minnesota. 1859;
Iowa, 1873. The average membership
for the United States as a whole is
given as 191 for 1923 compared with
14e in 1915.
Shipping Association Business.
IL is estimated that the 1,547 asso
Citations in the producing sections mar
keted live stock to the value Of $162,-
100000 in 1928 Sixty-two per cent of
the total business was handled by the
shipping associations in Iowa, Min
nesota, Illinois and Ohio. The amount
credited to each state Is as follows:
Iowa, S42,OOO,OOO; Minnesota, $685.
100000; Illinois, $16,0O0,OO0; Ohio,
$50 100000. During the ten years,
1914 to 1923, the average amount of
business handled by the shipping as
sociations increased from $4,000 to
Sos, 600. The average amount of bus
mess per association in 1928 credited
TO the leading states is as follows:
Ohio, 1921 600; Iowa, $4,000; ILL.,
nois, $4,000, and Minnesota, $4,000.
There were increases in the average
amount of business per association for
the two years ending with 1928 for

most of the states. This increase In
Ohio amounted to Al per cent; Mis-.
souri,, 81 per cent; Minnesota, Is per
cent; Iowa, per cent; Illinois, Z per
cent. In Wisconsin and South Dakota
there was decrease in the average
amount of business per association for
the two-year period.
1t appears that 40 per cent of all
the associations are Incorporated, that
the Incorporated associations have "a
per cent of the total membership, and
transacted 81 per cent of the total
business in 1923. But II per cent OF
the associations are organized with
capital stock However, this percent
age has % per cent of the membership
and handled q per cent of the 1923
business. Fifty-three per cent Of the
associations, with 90 per cent of the
membership and doing 81 per cent of
the business in 1923, paid patronage
dividends. Only s per cent of all the
shipping associations had contracts
with their members in 1923.
Cooperative Selling.
Cooperative selling agencies con
trolled by farmers have been operat-
ing in the terminal live stock markets
since 1917, when such marketing agen-
cies were established by the Farmers
union at the Omaha and st. Joseph
markets. The % agencies operating
IN 1909 handIad nearly 10 0OO O00 hpod
of live stock, which would fill about
10000 stock cars. The animals were
sold for $192,OO0,0OO. At different
times during the calendar year there
were returned to the shipper sums
amounting to $4,000 as refunds on
amounts paid as commission charges.
In both the Kansas City and st.
Paul markets there were three sales
agencies. In both Chicago and East
st. Louis there were two cooperative
commission associations.
