MICROBE CONTROL
By John M. Frazier

Microbes are everywhere. They
are chiefly the unseen life about
us. They play a, very important
role in the life of man as well as
IN the lives Of all contemporary
living things. The word microbe
is made up from two Greek roots,
mikros - small bios - life. We

toZoa. These organisms are or
two types, helpful and harmful.
From the standpoint of their
economic Importance, the harm
full kind are of greater signifi-
canoe. Some of the harmful ones
are our competitors for food,
feed, and other economic goods.
Still others attack our bodies or
the bodies of our friends, our
pets, our farm animals, or our
cherished wild life.
All of the products of our har-
vest are subject to spoilage if we
do not understand the require
ments of microbes and control
them. 1t is through our control
of harmful microbes that man
can take the over supply of fruits,
grain and vegetables of the har-
vest seasons and preserve them
for the feeding of himself and
his animals.
Thought this means man is
able to produce more animals
and animal products to meet his
requirements for food, raiment,
and shelter. Meat and animal
products are in great demand by
, various microbes.
In order to survive and multi
ply, microbes require access to
food, water, temperature within
definite limits, and freedom from
unfavorable chemicals as acids,
bases, salts, and secretions of
other organisms.
Natural Defense
Nature has provided plants that
store food for the coming season
or the next generation, with Ger
tain defenses against attacks by
microbes. Such plant parts as
the Irish potato, modified stem,
has corky cover to protect the
inner living tissue from bacterias,
yeasts, and nolds that would
destroy it. The sweet potato,
which is a modified root, has a
thick protective covering also.
All grains as corn, wheat, oats,
etc, are defended by a hard,
flinty outer cover. This helps
keep the stored food dry and
tends off micro organisms. This
covering allows moisture to en-
ter through a channel for that
purpose. The micropyle in a
bean is an example.
Fleshy fruits, as apples, are
protected by a leathery cover.
Most all fruits and in fact, all
living tissue seems to have ma
tural resistance to many types of
The covers separate
microbes from the stored food
they need for survival and pro-
pagation.
Wafer Requirements
Like all forms of life, microbes
have to have water for their
life activities. In order for most
of them to grow and prosper the
medium on which the live must
contain 70eo or more of water.
This is an important fact for man
to know in protecting his food
supply.
Man has learned to preserve
many of his choicest foods by
means of drying. He simply re-
duces the water content of his
food to below the amount on
which microbes thrive. They
cannot attack and his food is now
safe.
Most grains as corn, wheat,
oats, rice, etc. are dry. Man pro-
vides means of drying them
quickly, and keeping them dry
The food products of these grains
are preserved the same way.
Fruits may be preserved from
year to year by drying. Man has
long practiced the art of drying
apples, peaches, prunes, raisins,
currents, berries and others. Most
of the nutrients as carbohydrates,
proteins, fats, minerals and vita
mines are kept in the fruit.
Meats are also protected by the

More Court Help Recommended for |3rd, 4th Divisions

WASHINGTON, R-Additional help to meet growing dockets in Alaska's Third and Fourth Judi cial Divisions was recommended yesterday in the annual report of the administrative officer for US. courts.
 ''The need for the additional judgeship for the Third Division of Alaska, first recommended by the Judicial Conference of the US. eight years ago, is still ap- parent" the report said, land has become more acute each year ;"
 Assistance also is needed in the Fourth Division, where, as the result of more business, the back logs of pending civil and criminal cases have increased for the sev- enth consecutive year.
 Double-DutY Judge
 ITO relieve this situation, the Judicial Conference has recom- mended that the judge of the Sec ond Division, where the caseloads are light, be assigned to both the Second and Fourth Divisions with the right to reside in either di- vision"
 Tables in the report show there were 1,628 civil cases pending in the Third and 752 in the Fourth Division last June 30.
 Both divisions also showed slight increases in criminal docket backlogs, with 112 cases hanging in the Fourth and 82 in the Third.
 In the Second Division, where 43 civil ases and B criminal cas- es were terminated, the civil backlog dropped from 40 to g cases, and one criminal case was carried over in contrast to none the previous year.
