contractor to avoid working at

personnel policy. Wherever
hours have been shortened, the
nurses attitude. efficiency and
morale have showed marked i'm
provement. The experience of
the Holston Valley Community
Hospital in kingsport, Tenn, is
typical. A year after the 4O-hour
week was adopted, the hospital
superintendent reported: More
efficiency all along the line: more
work accomplished, the quality
of work greatly improved"
The Medical Team
WHAT about the complaint that
nurses play too small a part on
the medical team2 "New York
Medicine" journal of the New
York County Medical Society,
recently commented: The tend
ency of more than a few (doctors)
to regard the nurse as some sort
of semi-educated domestic or an
automatic Acknowledgment
could well be discouraged"
New York Hospital proves
the point. In addition to
raising wages and lowering
hours, it has set up weekly
conferences between nurses
and doctors. 1t has engaged
more practical nurses, attend
ants and orderlies to take over
non-professional duties. Nurses
constantly refer to it as a model,
and student nurse enrolment is
climbing.
Overall, the solution requires
another ingredient: money.
Nurses need more pay. hospital
improvements can't be made till
present deficits are overcome.
Public Ra1DonSe NEEDED
HATES for private patients can't
be raised any higher. Some
persons propose higher Blue
Cross rates; with more than
100000 enrolled. that might
help. But these people can't be
expected to carry the whole load.
State and federal aid to hospitals
and subsidies for nursing stu
dents might be increased.
Wherever the help comes
from, it's clear that only a public
response can solve this public
problem. And when that re-
sponse is forthcoming, we won't
have to worry about more
nurses. Given security and dig
nifty, our nurses can be counted
on to urge their friends - and
even their daughters - to join
them. The End

Buy Fertilizer Soon
Farmers Advised

The use of fertilizer has increased
so rapidly in recent years that there
are two important reasons for farm
ers buying early in the season: ()
the chances of getting their fertilizer
are better and ~ the fertilizer
itself will probably be in better COR
dition. County Agent John Carter
says dealers in the county are anxious
to serve county farmers. Early orders
will help them to receive their quota
of scarce materials from the manu-
facturer
According to Stanley StabIer, Ex-
tension Agronomist at the University
of Maryland, Maryland farmers last
year used so percent more fertilizer
than at the beginning of the war.
Other areas which used little or no
fertilizer before the war are now
using large quantities. This means
that fertilizer manufacturers can no
longer work ahead and store enough
to meet everyone's needs when the
planting season starts. The farmer
who buys his fertilizer and accepts
delivery during the next month or
two will not have to worry when he
gets ready to plant.
Farmers have hesitated to buy
early because of fear that the fertil-
izer might harden in the bag before
it can be spread. Mr. Stabler says
that the fertilizer which is for sale
early in the year may be in better
condition than some sold late in the
spring.
Fertilizer needs to be cured ahead
of bagging to prevent hardening or
"caking'," he explains. Factories now
have time to give proper aging be-
fore bagging. Consequently, most of
the fertilizer prepared for market
now will remain in good condition if
stored in dry place on the farm.
Fertilizer bagged before sufficient
curing, as it must be sometimes dur
ing the rush season, may become hard
sooner than the properly cured
fertilizer put in the bag several
weeks earlier.
A good farm storage for fertilizer
should have a wood floor, tight
roof and protection from driving
rain. Mr. Stabler advises against
stacking the fertilizer more than 6
to 8 bags high as greater pressure
may cause caking in the lower bags.

Arthur Taylor, two years ago. Also
surviving him, besides his widow, are

 Information supplied to cor respondent by one headquarters section is often considered secret by another.
 For example, the government section actively encouraged cores pondents to expose misappropria- tion of any Japanese miltary supplies.
