Exercise Care
When Choosing
Your Physician

ALMOST every community
n boasts several doctors. But in
spite of their titles, they are not
equal in ability. An MD. degree
indicates only certain standards of
medical knowledge and training.
What do you really know about
neighborhood doctors? How can
you, a layman, asks Robert Potter
in the November Good Housekeep-
ing magazine, tell which one is bet
ter than another. It's up to you,
says Potter to make the decision,
and the only way to arrive at
conclusion is to get the facts. These
facts are easily obtainable through
the nearest county medical society
which will open up their files so that
you may see the record of the doctors
you're considering.
Find out, Potter suggests, from
what medical school your doctor
was graduated. Was it a reputable
school at the time he was gradua-
ted? Other facts important to dig
out are whether or not he was ap-
pointed as intern in good hospi-
tai where he could receive good ex-
perience. Was he good enough to be
asked to stay on as resident phy-
sician? Did he specialize in any par
ticular field? Has he published any
scientific reports in authentic medi-
cal journals?
When it comes to the doctors bill,
Potter says that except in extreme
cases, it is wise to find out his fee
in advance. You will probably dis
cover that he will charge less for
visits to his office than for house
visits. But as a rule, doctors try to
fix fees in relation to ones ability
to pay. A favorite figure among good
surgeons is 10 per cent of the yearly
income for major operations. But
the best course is frankness in
money matters with your doctor.
For medical men, according to Pot
ter's article, will not want to turn
down case because a patient can
not afford high fees. But even if
this should happen, the doctor can
often recommend some younger man
with outstanding ability, but, as yet
without reputation, who can take
your case for less money.

AWARDS GIVEN
FOR CROP YIELD
Kent County Tomato Growers
HOnored Tonight at Cae-
sar Rodney School
SERVICE ADVICE TAKEN

Kent County's tomato growers
will meet at the Caesar-Rodney
High School tonight (Thursday ev-
ening, March 19), to honor three
Kent County tomato producers for
their record tomato yields during
1941 and to hear E. P. Brasher,
truck crop specialist for the Della
ware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, discuss the newer develop
ments in tomato production. The
1941 producers who will receive
awards from the Libby, McNeill
and Libby Canning Company of
Wyoming, are Walker L. Mifflin,
Dover, first place; T. M, McGinnis,
Wyoming, second place, and Mel
son Massey, West Dover, third
place. Mifflin averaged II $40
tons of tomatoes per acre and of
this yield rs 5-10 per cent graded
as No. 1. McGinnis' yield aver
aged IL 4-1O tons of tomatoes per
acre with "a per cent grading No.
1, and Massey averaged 10 tons per
acre with "a $40 per cent of his to-
matoes grading No. l. Cultural
practices followed by these tomato
producers were those recommended
by the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
tension Service. Two of the win
ners plowed under Their fertilizer
application. This is a newer prac-
tice in applying fertili- ar that is
giving good results in many in
stances where large amounts of
fertilizers are used. McGinnis side
dressed his tomato acreage at the
third cultivation with 200 pounds
of muriate of potash per acre. This
fertilizer application at the third
cultivation has proven to be a prof
liable practice on Kent County soils
in growing tomatoes according to
tomato cost and management stud
les carried on by the Delaware Ag-
ricultural Extension Service during
the past three years.
