TOday's Editorial:
Everyone Should Have His Chest X-Rayed

The most commendablc civic program today
is the city-wide drive to have everybody's chest
X-rayed free.
X-ray units are stationed throughout the city
in an effort TO eradicate tuberculosis which
claimed 200 lives in Seattle and King County
alone last year
The Jackson Street area has only three per
cent of Seattle's population but the area had ~
per cent of the city's T-B deaths in AZ, accord
ing to Mrs Ruth Manca, executive council of the
Jackson st. Community Council.
Mrs. Manca's statement is based on statistics
compiled by the tuberculosis division of the City
Health Department that should be all the more
reason the people in our community should coop
crate in the campaign and have their chests ex-
arnincd.

Deceased Vets
Beneficiuries Hove
Yeur to File Claims

Application for benefits re-
sulting from the death of an eli
gible war veteran should be filed
by his dependents within year
after his death in order to take
full advantage of the law per-
tanning to death benefits, Veter-
ans Administration officials ad-
vised today
Although application for death
compensation or pension may be
filed any time after a veterans
death, benefits are retroactive to
the date following the date of
death only if the claim is filed
within one year from that date.
VA claims officials point out
that if a claim for death conpen-
sation is filed after the expiration
of the one year period, benefits
are payable from the date the
claim is received in a VA office,
providing sufficient supporting
evidence is submitted within a
year after the claim is made.

Four New Ohio Hybrids Which Yield,
Stand, Pick Better being Developed
DECEMBER 9. ls4s-

Ohio farmers who are looking
for adapted corn hybrids that
yield, stand and pick better than
widely used existing varieties
may not have to wait any longer
than next spring to get them,I
says, DIR. d. F. Beard, extension
agronomist at Ohio State Univer-
sity. Up for certification, based
on 1948 field performance tests,
are four new Ohio hybrids that
have shown outstanding charac-
teristics in yield, and stalk
strength and less tendency to
lodge.
The new hybrids-Ohio 3147A
and 1854, 1862, 3264-were in
seed production this past year on
800 acres, chiefly in Nothern, Cen
trail, Western and Southwestern
Ohio. Beard says the decision on
this acceptance for certification
will be made as soon as results
of the 1948 corn performance
tests have been summarized.
However, based on 1947 tests, the
extension agronomist believes
Ohio corn growers may find much
Improvement in the new varieties
over adapted varieties now used
such as 13, Ohio W36, C38 and
K24.
Three of the new hybrids are
adapted to the northern and CEN
trail parts of the state, and the
other 3147A, is we'll adapted as a
full season corn for the southern
part of the state, maturity being
slightly later than that of UNl3.
Ohio 1862 is earlier. in maturity
than Ohio K24, plants are dark
green in color and ears are carried
at.a medium height. In yield, it
carried less moisture at harvest.
four bushels per acre and has
has exceeded K24 by three to
1t has stood well, being resistant
to root lodgings and stalk break
age, showing only onefourth the
lodging and percentage of broken
picking, even late into fall, than
stalks that K24 did in l947 tests
This corn has stood better for
any other M or K hybrid. 1t is
resistant to aphids and corn borer
Ohio 1864 has about the same
maturity as Ohio W36, The ears
are low on the stalk. 1t has out
yielded W36 by four to six bush
els per acre and has shown only
one-fourth the percentage of lodg.
ing and broken stalks as W36. Il
is resistant to aphids and corr
borer.
Ohio 1854 compares with C3f
in maturity. In yield it has beer
about seven bushels per acre bet.
ter than C38. 1t stands well, hav.
ing fewer root-lodged plants ano
about third as many broker
plants at harvest at C38. This
corn will stand we'll late into the
fall, shows resistance to corn Dor
er, aphids, and medium resistance
to leaf blight.
Ohio 3147A has shorter stalk:
than US Is. 1t has outyielded US
13 by about seven bushels pei

less than US 13. 1t is about aver

but is very resistant to aphid in
