Orchard Polarization

Beekeepers and apple growers have
a common interest since large or
chards provide plentiful supply Of
nectar at a time when it is needed
to build up the colonies and the trees
require bees for proper pollination.
There are districts where there are
enough apiaries to ensure that the ap-
pie bloom will be visited frequently
and everybody is satisfied. In some
cases, however, trouble has arisen
through poisoning of the bees by
spraying while the blossoms are still
open and the beemen have given up.

Grow Resistant Varieties

Wilt disease in sweet corn has been
reported from many sections of the
corn belt this year. The only known
control for the disease is to plant re-
sistant varieties. It is believed that
the disease is carried on the seed and
spread in the field by the larvae stage
of the spotted cucumber beetle. When
the disease strikes the field, the corn
leaves wilt and die, and frequently in
rainy weather the roots and base Of
the stalk will rot off. New varieties
of corn are being developed by the

ture.-Prairie Farmer.

Checking Soil Erosion

It does not pay to follow the time
honored farm adage "Plow straight
furrow" if your land is being depleted
by soil erosion, says the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Straight rows, especially over slop-
ing land, make soil erode more rapidly
than usual. "The desire for straight
rows has been costly contributing
cause of erosion on American farms.
Straight rows were never intended for
sloping fields" says r. H. Davis, soil
erosion specialist of the department.
A straight row down slope really
gives soil erosion start.

there will be an internal Spllnt
or internal tiXation bar, which
will stabilize (ie. make stiff)
the diseased part Of the spine.
Because Of this result, the pro-
ccdure is sometimes called Il
stabilization operation.
When it is succcssful-and the
indications are that it was SUE
ceSSful in this case-the prog
rcsS of the disease is halted and
the part already diseased is
healed.
A bed of raw bone had to be
prepared for the transplant to
lie in. The pieces Of bone which
stick out from the back of the
spine, spoken Of as spinous pro
cesses, were broken up into tiny
fragments and folded over on
either side. This formed a bed
for the section of leg bone. AT
ter the transplant was laid in
place, the muscles and everything
tissues were seWed together,
with the skin. The patient was
then put into a plaster cast
which had previously been pre-
pared.
If the healing process follows
the expected course, John should
have, within perhaps three or
four months, a back which will
not give him any trouble and
will allow him to do almost any
thing he normally could do.
J. l.. Sutton, the drugstore
proprietor, underwent a similar
operation about a dozen years
ago, and he says his back has
been in good condition ever
since.

Bone from Leg Transpianted in Boys Spine

Part of bone in the leg Of
John McCauley, Jr., l2-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Nc
Caulcy, has been tranSplanted IN
his spine, and the prospect is
that ne will have a good strong
back. The operation was per
formed a week ago yesterday on
the orthopcdic service of the
Duke hospital.
The boy is in a plaster cast
which will have to stay in place
for about ten weeks. His pa
rents and some Of his friend 5
have been visiting him in the
hospital, and he will be brought
back home within few days.
The transplanting operation
is SAID to be not uncommon
among orthopedic surgeons, but
to a layman it seems marvellous.
For nearly two years John was
treated, for tuberculosis of the
lower spine, with conservative
measures. In the last six
months he had been up and
about; but the disease did not
disappear, and the doctors de-
cided upon an internal fixation
of the spine.
Two vertebral bodies-that is,
two bones of the spine-were
diseased. A section of bone
about six inches long was taken
from a leg, and this, transplant
ed in the spine, covered the dis
eased area and extended about
two inches beyond it in each di-
rection. The principle of the
operation is that when this
transplanted bone becomes per-
fectly solid and fused, attaching
itself to the underlying bone,
