FOR u. 5. Farmers
FARMERS SHOULD SPEAK
THE DROUTH DWINDLES

Time and again we have said in
this column that we do not know
whether the present farm program
Is the best thing for agriculture, or
not, but we do not hesitate in adj
vising all farmers to hold on to what
they have until something better
comes along.
Attacks upon the processing taxes
will continue. They seem to be reas-
onably safe just now but you never
can tell when the fight will start
over. If you are not In favor Of the
present setup, or If you want certain
changes made, It is a good idea to
let your Congressman know what
you want and what you think.
The writer has been writing arti-
cles about the necessity for farm re-
lief for many years. He has wit
messed the undOubted decline of
farm living standards for some years
and has heard politicians from all
parties, including those In between,
tell about what the world owes the
farmer. 1t Is high time that this talk
produces result. II the AAA has
done well, stand up and shout your
head off for 1t; If 1t has failed you,
be equally as vociferous in telling
about it and demanding some relief.
The drouth seems to have been
lifted, anyway from most OF the
counties of the United States, be
cause the last report OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture listed only 131
''drouth counties" among the more
than 5000 in this country.
The recognized droutn areas in the
nation, pending a new report due
June Both, includes go counties In
Western Texas, 10 In Eastern New
Mexico, 7 In Western Oklahoma, 3s
In Western Kansas, IA In Eastern
Colorado. and 4 In South Central
Nebraska.
Certainly the sufferers in the
drouth area of last year and those

still In that classification have the
sympathy of every intelligent clti-
zen. Efforts on the part of officials
to ameliorate conditions have the ap-
proval OF almost everyone, and the
hope Is that the near future will
bring about a situation that will be
better for all farmers.
Consumers who are yelling about
the price OF meat might be interest
ed to know that cattle and calves on
farms, as Of Jan. /, 1885, totaled
60,667,O00. There were only 56,7O1.-
0W head In 1923 and The ten year
average is 61,257,000 While retail
beef prices were 80 per cent higher
during the first four months Of his
year than they were in 1893. they
were still about "a per cent lower
than in 1929.

TRUTH ABOUT HYpRopHoBIA

Hydrophobia rs a disease not onl,
OF animals, but OF the human race
Wild animals, especially wolves, sui
fer from It. 1t Is distinctly a brair
disease. The term mad dog does moi
refer to anger OF Ill nature. but tc
insanity. A dog suffering from rabies
Is not responsible; he bites his mast.
er because he does not know him
and Is driven on by pain and blind
impulse.
Hydrophobta is transmitted thru
the saliva OF a bite or licking a sur
face where the skin Is broken. The
particular germ has never yet been
discovered. When an animal has
died OF rabies the brain contains
curious little bodies that can be
seen only with the microscope.
When saliva OF a nbid animal
gains access to the body Of another.
the place usually heals over and no
apparent harm results. The infec-
ton travels slowly until 1t reaches
the brain, unless the wound where
the infected saliva entered was on
The head. In that case the virus
reaches the brain sooner, and the
symptoms come ON more rapidly.
There are two forms of rabies. the
dumb. in which the muscles OF the
throat are paralized, and the suffer
er cannot drink water although he
Graves 1t. This inability to swallow
enormously gave rise to the name
hy~drophobia, which means fear of
water.
1t Is a foolish belief that a human
being suffering from rabies acts like
a dog. This is a fallacy. AS opposed
to the dumb form of the disease
there Is the furious, in which there
are commissions and mania.
These cases all end in death gener-
ally in a few days after the first
symptoms appear. II an animal acts
strangely, whether he has been bit
ten or not, 1t Is well to quarantine
him for a few days. If he has bitten
anyone the person should be given
the Pasteur treatment for rabies. II
the bite has been severe and the
skin broken. If, after several days of
tAC uO6 SS61QS PERFECTLY
well he should be carefully watched
for a few days, and allowed to run
on a rope strung on an overhead
wire, for at least a month. Children
should not be allowed to fondle him
II he gives the least sign OF illness
He should be watched longer than a
month for safety. All dogs should be
inoculated against rabies once a
year.
Dogs should not be muzzled; 1t Is
cruel. They need outdoor life. Even
small house dogs In cities should be
taken out regularly on a leash for
exercise; they ought to be taken !
away from traffic and allowed to run
free for a while each day, unless
there are children to play with them
In the back yard.
Tying dogs up to ropes and chairs
for any length of time is cruel; they
are most unhappy and made miser-
able. Better not own a dog at all il
you cannot give him privileges and
enough freedom to keep him we'll

Farmers Of Sheridan county will find 1t necessary
In the protection of their interests to keep UP with
what happens in Washington and particularly the
methods adopted by business to secure legislation fav-
orable to profits.
To say that the farmer has been exploited in past
years is not enough. One should emphasize that agrt
culturalists everywhere are exploited unless they are
alert, intelligent and organized.
1t is important for farmrs to understand, as Sec
rotary Wallace observes, that no set program is in
volved. What benefits agriculturaists today may not
do so tomorrow. The future must be faced with a
mind open to change.
Inasmuch as Presidents Harding, Coolidge, Hoov-
er and Roosevelt have vetoed bonus bills one must
come to the conclusion that there is something wrong
with the presidents or the bonus legislation.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders Fields
BY 1t. Col. John McCrae
In Flanders Fields the peoples blow
Between the crosses row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The Jerks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead, Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe;
To you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch; be yours to hold 1t high
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep. though poppies grow,

To control high blood pressure and to permit the
sufferer to live as long as possible. certain measures
are desirable. The various possible causes Of the con-
dition must be investigated and removed or controlled
If possible.
Next, the burden on the tissues concerned, as the
blood vessels. the heart, and the kidney, must be re-
moved or lightened as much as possible. Then every
thing should be done that can be done to improve the
quality Of the human tissues SO they viii be able tc
work more efficiently.
If every person would have his blood pressure meas
ured at fairly frequent intervals. 1t would be possible
TO detect rises fairly early and thus to bring them more
quickly under control.
BY a careful study Of the life Of the person con-
cerned. the doctor may get an idea as to whether he
is likely to develop a high blood pressure. or H. A
D." hypertensive ~arterial disease.
Thus 1t Is known that the condition tends to run in
families. The fact that q father, mother, grand
father or grandmother died from q stroke may be an
indication for frequent study OF the blood pressure.
Because Of the Importance Of rest in controlling this
condition. it Is well to have an analysis Of the habits
Of the individual as related to work. sleep. exercise
diet. worry, and similar factors.
Areas Of infection In the teeth and In the tonsilE
should be cleaned UP. Gradual Of thu
kidneys may be going on for some time without be-
ing noticed. Tendency Of the blood pressure in the
individual to sudden fluctuations may be determined
by q simple test, which involve putting one hand In
Ice water for one minute. measuring the blood pres
sure simultaneously in the other arm.
II the person with high blood pressure Is surround
ed by people who regularly affect his blood pressure
badly. 1t may be necessary for him to be removed tc
a rest cure. a sanatorium. q resort. or some similar
place in which the disturbing and blood pressure slim
ulating factors viii not be present.
II the problem Is one OF financial worry. the diff
Guilty is naturally a special problem.
The diet Of the person concerned should contain
enough protein to take care of his body's requirement
It used to be the thing to eliminate meat entirely. This
Is no longer advocated
Salt In moderate amounts Is permissible, but al
the condiments and spices should be used most spar
ingly, as they may irritate the blood vessel system.
The usual amount or slightly more than the usual
amount Of water is permitted in most cases. Coffee
or other stimulants should not be taken late in the
day, but moderate amounts Of tea, coffee, or tobacco
may be permitted to those who are used to them.
In this condition especially. the old medical pro-
verb-moderation in all things-is important to re-
member.
