Lack of Trained
Doctors Affects
Farmers Health

WASHINGTON, d. c. - Rural
areas - even with their sunlight
and fresh air, freedom from indus
trial dust and fumes, and absence
of dense crowds where diseases
can spread - are losing the health
advantage they once held over the
cities, says the agricultural depart
ment.
The scarcity of rural doctors is
reflected by survey showing that
before the war, in the thousand
most rural and isolated counties
of the nation, there were so few
medical men that each had to serve
an average of 1,7OO persons, while
in the larger cities there was a doc
tor for each $50 persons.
During the war, the rural aver
age dropped as low as one doctor
for 5000 to 5000 persons, because
rural doctors almost everywhere ex-
ceeded their quotas in entering the
armed forces.
Doctors and dentists, the report
says, tend to shun rural counties be-
cause they feel they can make a
better living in cities and have great
er access to modern hospitals, tech
nical equipment and professional
contacts.
The rural shortage also reflects,
the department says, a failure of
many states to provide educational
opportunities for doctors. It saws
that almost half of all young doctors
now come from medical schools in
five major industrial states, while
18 states, mostly rural, turn out
no medical graduates from their
schools.
In World War II, youths from
farms showed considerably more
physical defects than those from
cities.

Farmers Can Pay
Blue Cross Dues
To Farm Bureau

ETHLYN, MO. - Farmers may
enroll in the Blue Cross for them
selves and their families through
their county farm bureau, Mrs.
Paul Palmer, national secretary of
the Associated Women of the
American Farm Bureau fedora
ton, has pointed out in a recent
statement issued here.
Farmers may pay their Blue
Cross dues quarterly" Mrs. Palmer
stated, when they pay their farm
bureau dues. When hospital care
is needed, there are no questions
asked. The Blue Cross Identification
card lie the passport to more than
$500 accredited hospitals in the
United States and Canada"
Farmers, Mrs. Palmer said,
have learned in the last few decades
that early disqualification means
early recovery. Through radio,
the rural press and magazines they
have come to realize that their
fathers habit of tolerating minor ill
nesses until they reached the point
where the condition was beyond
help, was foolish - to say the least.
The care of our sons by army and
navy hospitals has clearly demon
strated the value of scientific medi-
cine, good nursing care, and prompt
treatment. Today, farmers demand
the same health advantages for
their families as do the people who
live in cities and large towns. The
health of the farmer who produces
the food for Americas S tables is fully
as important as the health of the
factory worker.
"There is a great need for addi-
tional hospitals in rural areas, and
farmers are actively supporting ma
tional and state legislation provid-
ing for survey of health facilities
which will lead to the construction
of much needed hospitals"
