Commissioners
Reorganization Plan
Will Be Started at
Midnight Meeting

Nine District residents will be
named to a new citizens ad-
viSory council at midnight tonight
as the Commissioners put their
reorganization plan into effect.
The Unusual hour of the meet
ing is caused by the fact the re-
organization act goes into effect
at midnight.
The city heads at that time
will have in their hands all the
powers of the various city govern
ment departments. They will have
to give them back in a hurry to
avoid legal complications.
Gain Full Powers.
This placing of all power in the
Commissioners was the first step
IN the reorganization plan. After
the midnight action, the Commits
sioners can proceed at a more de-
nberate pace in streamlining the
city government.
A number of civic leaders have
been invited to attend the mid
night meeting. There will be
speeches.
After the voting back of powers
to the departments and the ap-
pointment of the citizens ad-
visory council, everybody will
adjourn to the roof of the WASH
ington Hotel for a buffet supper.
Still Need 100000.
The Commissioners still need
100000 to get reorganization roll
ing properly. however.
The fund was eliminated from
the last supplemental bill voted
by the House on Saturday. The
city heads hope to get the Senate
to put the 100000 back as it is
NEEDED to set up a department of
administration.

scribed as the first and essential
move toward consolidating or re-
vamping the many city agencies

advanced cases, says the average
length of stay there is AL days.
The average disqualification pc
riod has increased "a days in the
last three years. This is because
the new wonder drugs-principally
streptomycin-are prolonging life
and making suitable for surgery
many cases which were inoperable
just few years ago.
But tuberculosis experts here
say it is not necessary to wait until
patients enter the hospital to start
them on wonder drug therapy.
The drugs can be administered at
the patients homes if closely
supervised by well-trained physi-
clans who can visit the homes on
"a regular schedule.
Cites Drugs Advantages.
DR.. Sol Katz, chief of the di-
vision of pulmonary diseases at
Gallinger Hospital, points to these
advantages:
/. The disease could at least be
controlled while the patient awaits
disqualification.
2. The danger of contagion-an
even more important problem
from a public health viewpoint
would be lessened considerably.
3. The period of actual hospi-
talization would be reduced.
4. Close check could be kept on
the family of the patient for pos
sible signs of new cases.
Furthermore, DR.. Katz points
out, many critically needed hos
pital beds are now occupied by
persons no longer in need of &C
tual disqualification. Yet some
medical supervision should be
maintained. Consequently, many
medically INDECENT patients can
not return home. With an effec-
tive home-care program available
these patients could be discharged
Immediately.
But DR.. Katz says this predicted
success could be accomplished
only if the program were set up
properly. This would entail a
staff of full-time physicians. an
enlarged group of public health
nurses, and addition Of social
workers and occupational therap-
lists.

culosis hospitals.
Yet doctors say it is during this
early period that the tubercle
bacilli often are the most active.
Lung LESSONS advance rapidly, and
the disease is highly infectious.
Modern medicine can control
the disease in many cases.
Victim Gets Instructions.
But here's what happens in the
District when an acute but not
critical case of tuberculosis is dis
covered:
The victim is told to report to
one of the clinics. He is told to
stay in bed, to isolate himself from
his family and friends, and to re-
port back at frequent intervals so
a check can be made on progress
of the disease.
The patient also is listed for
visits by a public health nurse,
No doctors are available for these
visits.
Because of the large number OF
persons visiting clinics-there are
more than 5000 known tubercu-
losis cases in the District-the
clinic doctors can spend little
time with each patient. DR.. How
ard M. Payne, chief of the Freed
mems Hospital tuberculosis serv-
lice, says that in 1851 the physi-
clans could give an average OF
less than 10 minutes to each TE
clinic visitor.
Effective medication cannot be
administered at the clinics.
Patients Not Controlled.
Furthermore, under this system
of clinic visits there is absolutely
no control over the tuberculosis
patients. They may or may moi
report back to the clinics. Only
the patients own sense of disci-
pline regulate their contact with
healthy persons.
Because of this period of wait
ing for disqualification and effec.
tive treatment, many ttlberculosi!
cases are moderately or far ad.
vanced when finally admitted.
This means even more money
from the pockets of District tax
payers. The worse the diseas,
the longer the hospital stay. DR.

Dr. Coe was enthusiastic about it's use.
 The standard application of nitrogen in bromegrasS stands is now 100 pounds to the acre, Dr. Allan Mick, soil scientist, told spectators viewing the plots mak- ing up the bromegrass nutrition studies. Experiments are now be- ing made to determine whether or not higher applications of nitro gen, with applications of phos- phate and potash in proportion, will increase production suffici- ently to make the added cost a good investment. Applications of nitrogen up to 32O pounds per acre were being studied in these high nitrogen plots. Along with different rates of application the effectiveness of single as against split applications of fertilizer were being studied. Present yields indicate that there is little diff ference between the one applica- tiOn and the split application, Dr. Mick said. Dairymen wishing to stimulate an early pasture, could put the entire application on the brome stand in early spring. Planned pasture management with both types of application might distribute the growth a lit tie better, but the yield would be the same.

Wild mustard is easy to control, but if picked up with forage, it will taint milk. Hodgson saw the key to the weed control program in the use of certified seed. Know what seed you're planting" he said, Buy only certified seed and insist on seeing the tag!"
 "A one-percent lambs quarters content in seed oats means that you'd be buying as many lambs quarter seeds as oat seeds" he added.
 Hodgson said that seven years attention to controlling weeds in the Valley will materially de- crease their stand. But it won't help if you keep planting the weeds right back" he added.
 A new timothy variety within two or three years was promised by the agronomist as he pointed out an especially healthy variety in the timothy breeding nursery. This outstanding variety came from Norway. Scandinavian coun- tries, Hodgson said, are the Sta tion's best source of outstanding forages and cereals.
 New Spud Named Knik |. During the tour of horticultural crops, Dr. Curtis Dearborn dis closed the name chosen for the Alaska Experiment Stations newly introduced potato variety, known as 5744 The new spud, which is being increased by sever al growers in the Valley, will be known as Knik.
 In the study of seeded versus transplanted cabbage, pr. Dear-| born showed that the transplants were 10 days ahead of the direct seedlings. In the lettuce variety trials, he found Cornell 456 and Great Lakes varieties Premier and 428 best adapted for family use and contract sales in Alaska. Among the broccoli transplant trials, best growth was shown by Valtham 29.
 Of particular interest to potato growers was the trial of several varieties and numbered specl- mems to find a commercial. variety for harvest by August 20. Tubers in this trial will be harvested within a week.
 Dr. Donald Goes experiments in plant patholy were particular ly interesting. One trial was test ing the spread of potato mosaic. Another showed cumulative et- fleets of a strange potato disease called witches broom.
 Effectiveness of Arasan as al seed treatment was cited by Dr. Coe in his description of trials showing increases of 60 to lOO percent over check plots. With Arasan selling at 10 cents an ounce and only two ounces need ed for a 100 pound sack of seed,

Over 100 people attended the an- nual Field Day held at the Mat apuska Experiment Station Mon day under the supervision of the Extension Service. Nearly 30 cars made up the long procession that wound it's way in and out of the upper, middle, and lower bench fields to view the experimental projects in progress.
 Among the interested observers were many Valley housewives, businessmen, and professional men, scores of federal and Terri torial Department of Agriculture officials; a carload of servicemen from Fort Richardson, prominent labor officials from the Anchorage area; and even a few of the Val ley's prominent farmers and dairymen.
 During the morning session problems of breeding and feeding dairy cattle were discussed by William Sweetman, dairy hus- bandman of the Alaska Experi- ment Station. A project comparing two treatments for fence posts was described by Ivan Branton, agricultural engineer. Spectators saw the spruce, birch, poplar, and cottonwood posts all ready for treatment. Both the cold soak method (with pentachlorophenol in oiD and the pull up method (with copperized chromated. zinc chloride) will be used in the posts that make up the experimental fence.
 Harry T7immer, who has been assisting in the agricultural en- gineering department this sum- mer, reported that native lumber with a six-inch fill of SaWduSt and vapor seal was the wall construc- tion requiring the least fuel to maintain a 70 degree temperature in zero weather An accompany ing graph showed the drop in moisture content in saWdust used in the native lumber experiment buildings in Palmer. In two years the moisture content had dropped to well under 20 percent, the point above which rotting might be factor.
 Dr. Richard Washburn, Station entomologist recommended com mercial Chlordan and Aldrin for all root maggot and cutWorm problems in the Valley. One-half to one pound of Aldrin or one pound of chlordan was suggested for root maggots and two pounds per acre of Chlordan and one pound per acre of Aldrin for cut worms.
 Weeds Now Big Problem
 Growing encroachment of weeds was cited as a grave danger to forage and grain crops in the Valley by Agronomist H. J. Hodg- son. He pointed out that all weeds have been imported to the Valley in the past Is years, that introduc- ton has come from impure seed. He pulled up shepherds purse, lambs quarters, chickweed, wild mustard, wild buckwheat' annual SOW thistle, and spurry from his weed control plots where pre- emergence and post-emergence spray treatments had been used' Some sprays controlled some weeds and some were effect for others.
