ming for the future, they con-
slider that there should even
tually be a smaller proportion
of the Polish population on
farms and a larger proportion
in industries if the best use is
to be made of Poland's natural
resources.
They have also pointed out
the need of a profound change
in the traditional Polish diet,
including the use of more pro-
tective food such as green and
yellow vegetables, fruits, fish
milk and eggs.
The 160-page illustrated re-
port says in conclusion that
there are great possibilities for

Of these possibilities will de

Among other measures de-

That continuous filling without using fertilizers ends in

more true today than in Poland. according TO a report publish

The report by a team of 10
international specialists sent
to Poland last summer by
FAC at the request of that
countries government makes
clear that the nations food
supply, agriculture and fores-
try are in a state Of emergen-
cy. It analyses the situation
and makes recommendations
which within a few years
could raise Polish food produc-
ton as much as so percent
above prewar levels, provid-
ing that certain changes in
Polish agriculture are carried
out by the government and
that farmers are helped in
adopting modern agricultural
methods.
The FAO's report empha-
sizes that one Of the main OBJ
stacles faced by Poland in its
efforts to produce more food
is the small number, ill-health
and poor nutrition Of the pres
ent herds of Polish cattle. Far
mers are still caught in the
vicious circle caused by war
time loss Of two-thirds of their.
cattle and more than half their
horses. Before the war, man

Changes in food distribution
through a large scale ration
ing system; encouragement of
agricultural production by re-
vision in the tax set-up; and
the establishment of an emer-
gency service to aid farmers
to restore their soil, cattle,
draft animals and buildings,
were recommended by FAO's
specialists, who indicated pri-
GRITTY should be given to the
building of cattle herds.
Most dairy cattle are under
fed, the report says, and strong
measures are urged for con-
troll of the present tuberculo-
sis and contagious abortion in
cattle. Many Polish children
have active tuberculosis and
the mission points out that
one of the reasons for the
spread of this disease amongg
both children and adults is
that half of Poland's milk sup
ply comes from tuberculous
cows.
The supply of feed for dairy
cattle and even for humans
could be increased by mea-
sures to limit the food con-
sumption of pigs, poultry and
sheep, FAO's report says.

Medicine
Potent New Biotic

Clinical use of a new, powerful
germ-killer, pOlymyxin, has swiftly
cured cases of undulant fever, whoop-
ing cough and other dangerous infec-
tions, Johns Hopkins Hospital physi-
clans reported this week.
The new drug eventually may lead
to triumph over civilizations ancient
curse-plague. It will be sent to India
soon to determine its effectiveness
against black death.
The drug is derived from bacillus
polymyxa, an organism commonly
found in soil, water and muck. It is
not yet available for general clinical
use.
First described in 1947, polymyxin
has been under study by Drs. Perrin
h. Long, Morton S. Byer, Eleanor A.
Bliss and Emanuel Schoenbach. DR..
Long is professor of preventive medi-
cine at the Johns Hopkins School of
Medicine.
The drug does its germ-killing
work against majority of the So
called gram-negative bacteria. The
term distinguishes bacteria which turn
red when stained Another major
group of bacteria turn blue under the
staining process and are called gram
positive.
Polymyxin has not proved a help
thus far, however, against tubercu-
losis. It is remarkably effective, how
ever, against typhoid fever, paraty-
phoid fever, certain wound infections.
types of meningitis, tularemia Crab
olt feVer), blood poisoning and ba-
cillary dysentery.
