PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22.-The
British health program which
went into effect July S. 1948. pro-
vides that the government pay
the bills for all the doctor, sur
gical, specialist, nursing. hospital.
medicinal, dental, optical and &C.
cessory care of all the people of
Britain. All general practitioners
who sign up under the act accept
patients at approximately $3.50
governmental pay per year per
patient.
During the first year 80 per
cent Of the general practitioners
signed up and 95 per cent of the
people.
Virtually all hospitals have been
taken over and all expenses are
paid by the government.
All prescriptions for medicines,
glasses, trusses and other health
equipment are paid for by the
government. Under recent
modification, however, the patient
is charged nominal IA cents for
each prescription for drugs.
The cost of this program is now
running at more than 1000 ,000,-
900 a year. and is rising each
month. The long lag in payments
indicates the gross cost may be
over $500, 100000 per yesr. The
present rate of payment is almost
10 per cent of the total national
governmental budget, and it is
about 4 per cent of Britain's en-
tire national income.
This heavy health bill. together
with the expenses of the security
program as a whole. the food sub
sides, national defense and war
debt, results in the heaviest tax
program of any major nation
Total taxes have risen to over 40
per cent of the entire national in
come. This is more than double
the relative tax load in the United
States.
A skilled leather-goods worker
expressed this thought. 1T
seemed right that there should be
no money barrier between a per-
son who is i'll and the medical
care he needed. But when the
money barrier was taken away,
we found in its place a human
barrier-a road-block of people
jamming the doctors Offices and
hospitals. Part of them are abus-
ing the system. Unless you wait
until you are desperately i'll and
an emergency exists, the barrier
cannot be pushed aside. And
when you finally do get through
you find something that isn't as
good as it used to be! Further
more" he added, there is the
very heavy tax to pay the bills. I
don't pay the doctor, but I pay!"

moisture, (2) stage of growth of the
plant, 90 plant species, (4) environ
mental conditions before and after
spraying.
Soil Moisture
Optimum soil moisture usually
produces rapidly growing, succulent
plants, which results in an increased
susceptibility of these plants as COM
pared with plants growing in areas
where soil moisture is either too high
or too low. A hot dry wind and a
drying soil several days before treat
ment will increase resistance.
Most annual weed species are
much more sensitive to 2,4-D when
small, than after they have reached
full bloom or have started to form
seed pods. There is considerable diff
ference among various broad leaved
weed species in their reaction to
2,4-D. Many of the most susceptible
annual weeds are the most serious
pests. Fanweed, wild mustard, Hare's
ear mustard and Jim Hill or tum-
bling mustard are all quite suscep-
tible. Some of the more resistant
ANIMALS are cookie, wild buckwheat,
tansy mustard, Russian thistle and
PROSTATE pigweed.
Rain Immediately following treat
ment may wash the 2,4-D off the
plant before it has had a chance to
be absorbed. The esters are absorbed
the quickest and do not wash off the
plant as easily as the amines. The
amines, in turn, will wash off less
easily than the metallic salts.
Oil Carrier
Diesel oil as a carrier for the ester
Foundations must be used with ex-
IRENE care because the oil is toxic
to most plants. Rates of one gallon
of oil per acre have not damaged
crops when applied uniformly. Con-
siderable damage to spring wheat in
several northeastern Montana coun-
ties resulted from the use of 2,4-D
esters in No. 2 diesel oil. Most, if
not all, the damage was due to poor
distribution of the spray. This was
evident, since the damage occurred
in streaks.
The combination of 2,4-D No.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-04-01
Application

APPheoAioiA
Most of the important broad-leafed
annual plants are susceptible to
2,4-D treatment. The cereal grains
are quite resistant to 2,4-D, with
wheat being the most resistant, fol-
lowed in order by barley and oats.
The cereal grains can be treated
safely from the time they are about 5
inches high until just before the boot
stage. 1t has been stated that grain
treated in the boot stage or later
may be damaged by 2,4-D, especially
with the ester foundations.
There are three. major types of
2,4-D foundations on the market at
the present time. They are ID me-
tallic salts, (2) anime salts, and 60
eSters.
Under ideal conditions where
highly susceptible weed species are
being treated, the Foundations vary
little in effectiveness. However,
when conditions are not ideal, the
esters are the most effective when
used at comparable acid rates.
Some of the conditions which will
affect results are as follows: Cd soil
moisture, ~ stage of growth of the
plant, 90 plant species, (4) environ
mental conditions before and after
spraying.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-04-01

crops varies from 0.3 to 0.73 pounds
of 2,4-D acid equivalent per acre.
The rate of application of 2,4-D
needed to do a specific job will vary
according to the previously stated
conditions. Rates considerably lower
than 0.3 pounds per acre will ade-
quately control weeds when condi-
tons are ideal.
Near ideal conditions for treatment
OF weeds prevailed in 1913. Such
conditions cannot be expected to oc-
cur every year. When conditions are
decidedly unfavorable, the minimum
recommended rate may be too low
for all but the must susceptible
weeds.
For flax the maximum recon-
mended rate is 0.3 pounds acid
equivalent per acre in the anime for
mutation. The use of the esters in
oil or in water is not recommended
for flax.
Perennials
For the annual control of Canada
thistle and wild morning glory in
cereals, a minimum rate of O.5
pounds acid equivalent is recon-
mended. This rate is too low for
maximum root kill, but will, under
favorable conditions, kill top growth.
An increase in the rates of 2,4-D is
needed if the conditions are not fav-
orable or if a higher percentage of
root kill is desired.
AS the rates of application are in
creased, the damage to the crop is
greater, particularly when 2,4-D
ester-No. 2 diesel oil combinations
are used. The control of white top,
leafy spurge, or Russian knapweed
in cereal crops at rates of pound
Dr. less of 2,4-D does not appear to
be practical.
Willows are controlled with a fair
degree of success by 2,4-D. The best
time for treatment seems to be after
they have reached the full leaf stage.
In irrigated areas, the willows which
need to be controlled are usually
growing along ditch banks, etc. 1t
is therefore necessary to use extreme
caution when applying the spray, in
view of the probable nearness of
susceptible crops.
Airplane application of 2,4-D to
willows may not be very practical
because relatively high volumes of
water are needed to obtain good COW
erage. Rates of 2,4-D should be be-
tween 1R and 2 pounds acid equiva-
lent per acre.
