Cushion Plant.

COrdlllerd Blanca OF central Peru
Is the center of the cushion plant
country. Upon the slopes of this
'1ittle Switzerland" of the Andes
resourceful cushion plants spread
over great areas. Cordillera Blanca,
is one of the we'll known Andean
giants with about 1900 feet of
slopes acceptable to these interest
ing alpine plants.
Yareta, a close relative of our gar
den carrot is typical cushion plant
of the lofty Andes. Kneeling beside
a mound of the lovely living green
mosaic of the compacted leaf ro-
settes, you are interested to see how
much they resemble the familiar
rock plant "hen-and chicken"
The yareta sometimes forms such
realistic boulder it appears to have
been there for centuries, polished
by glacial action. So solidly packed
are the rosettes you can climb up
and over them with little effort.
July is the Towering season. At
this time the lively green cushions
appear to be frosted over by a fleet
ing snow furry. The blossoms are
mere white SpeckS, but numerous
Hidden beneath the gray-green
leafy mosaic are highly telecoped
stems. Each leafy rosette is in fact
the terminus of a solitary hidden
branchlet whose leaves are limited
to the uppermost tip.
The seasons aridity is one of the
important reasons for many alpine
plants to adopt schemes to prevent
evaporation. BY crowding many
leaves together, moisture, the all
important ingredient of the green
factory we call a plant, is saved.
Yaretas, like other successful al
pine plants, have developed a nat
ural varnish which cuts down evap-
Grafton from green tissues so they
hold water like sponges.
Clever Indians of the Sierras long
knew about the resins. They were
used as astringents and absorbants
in home medicines Ashes from the
dry plants made excellent fertilizer
When the plant was used for fuel
it gave out a tremendous heat with
little smoke.
Puma herdsmen annually collected
great quantities of the yareta piline

stone huts. They also found ready
markets for the dried plant. Rail.

Gently formed Grievance Commit

ISOLATION. it was announced today
by Dr. Walter c. Payne. Pensa-
cola, committee chairman
The establishing of a state
Grievance Committee to hear and
investigate complaints from the
public was authorized by the
House of Delegates, policy making
body of the Association At the
same time each county medical
society was urged 10 set up .
similar committee on a local level
In explanation of the procedure
for filing complaints, DR.. Payne
suggested that in most cases il
may be advisable to submit COM
plants TO the local medical So
ciety- The society viii then pro-
cess the matter through its own
committee or forward it to the
state committee. However, if a
complainant prefers, he may sub
NIT his case in writing directly
to the state committee. In the
event that a complainant does not
wish TO make q statement IN writ
ing he may verbally state his
case In person before the COM
mittee.
Because the majority of COM
plants probably can be handled
with greater dispatch on local
level, complaints filed directly
with the state committee win be
referred back to the county medi-
cal society unless either the com
plainant or physician complained
/ against objects. DR.. Payne said.
Experience in other. states has
shown that most complaints are
the result of MISUNDERSTANDING.
II the patient and doctor can be
brought together to discuss the
matter it is usually settled quick
IL and to the satisfaction of both
parties.
Either the complainant or the
physician has the privilege of ap-
pealing a decision by the county
society committee to the state
grievance committee.
It IS the intention of the COM
mittee, DR.. Payne said, to handle
all complaints witt the least de-
lay possible consistent with able
and impartial consideration

ance committee by the state medi-
cal association Is by no means
