cover 80 cases of poisoning due to

contaminated, in some way, with ar

partment of Health, recently from the
Western part of the State. All of the
cases were traced to common source.

same.
Services for expert nursing and
treatment is maintained twenty-four
hours each day. Individuals may take
a holiday, but the hospital does not,
day nor night.
Forty percent of the patients do not
pay for their treatment, and eighty
six percent, including part-pay pa
tients, do not pay the full cost of
their care.
During the year 1937-1938, 29O free
cases were admitted; 1875 part-pay
cases; and SO pay patients. 395 dis
pensary cases were treated; 1876 oper-
ations were performed; Sd obstetrical
cases were admitted. The cost per
day for every patient was $4.05.
The hospital may not seem so val
liable to those in good health; but to
the sick, or those suddenly stricken,
or in case of accident, it may mean,
and over and over again has meant
life instead of death.
Some may think they pay their
way, and their obligation is closed,
but they overlook the fact as a whole
there is not profit and that part-pay
patients 279o of the total-pay
only a part of their cost, and over
649e are free. If the hospital had to
operate with its pay patients, it would
have to close its doors.
Without the generosity of those who
have given to this cause the work
could not have been done. There
should be a sense of deep satisfaction
in knowing this hospital is ready to
help you whether you need it or not,
and that your life is more safe with
the hospital in your community, wheth
er you think about it or not.
The hospital is in deep need OF
help. It must have funds to run, and
it's reserve is largely used up. This
appeal is made to keep the hospital
open; to keep the services the best,
because when a life is at stake, eff
cient and expert service is needed
and to secure, through those able to
help, to those not able to pay, the
benefits it undoubtedly bestows.

SPUD GROWERS
SHOULD SELECT
SEED CAREFULLY
This Is Necessary To Avoid Rep
etitiOn Of Losses Sustain
ed In Former Years
UNIVERSITY COOPERATING
TO CONTROL DISEASES

Potato growers desiring to avoid
repetition of last years losses should
sort their potatoes carefully and sell
the sound ones as soon as possible.
According to DR.. Robert A. Jehle,
Plant Pathologist for the University
of MARYLAND Extension Service, late
blight rot was responsible for tremen-
dous losses in the late potato crop
that was stored last winter and the
disease has appeared again this year.
DIR. Jehle points out that even when
sorted carefully there is danger In
storing potatoes from blighted fields,
as a few diseased tubers put in stor-
age may result in destruction of the
entire lot. Potato growers who decide
to store their crop should sort it care
fully and remove all diseased tubers,
even those showing the slightest in
festion. The crop should be stored
at low temperature, preferably at
from 35 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit, as
temperatures above 40 degrees are
very favorable for the growth of the
late blight fungus.
Late blight rot can be recognized
by darkened, lightly sunken areas on
the surface of the potato and from
these areas dry rot pentrates into the
tubers. Soft rot organisms frequent
ly invade the dry rot areas and cause
a soft rot which involves the entire
tuber.
The University of Maryland is CO.
operating with the U. S. Department
of Agriculture and other states in an
effort to control this disease through
the use of resistant varieties. Many
new blight resistant seedlings have
been developed and an effort is being
made to select those suitable for use
in this state. In experiments con-
Quoted recently at Oakland five blight
resistant seedlings yielded more than
and of the rural varieties, the highest
yielding commercial varieties grown
in Garrett county.
