Atomic Energy Commission.

orally inaccessible TO surgery,
and hence may constitute D
means of destroying either
malignant or nonmalignant
liver tumors. The promise
seems high. although there
still are serious hurdles TO
surmount. according to o
commission report.
This particular isotope,
manganese Sc. emits both
beta rays telectrons) and
gamma rays (similar TO
x-rays). 1t was observed at
the commissions Brook
haven. Long Island, Iabora-
tory. that following intra-
venous injection into test
animals by far the largest
fraction Of the isotope could
be found in the liver within
three minutes and that 1t
persisted there for at least a
half hour. It was removed
very rapidly from the blood
and no significant fraction
accumulated in the bone
marrow where red cells are
formed. II this had not been
the case. its use would have
been dangerous because OF a
tendency TO cause anemia.
Ferrets Out Trouble
The isotope has q half life
Of about three hours. This
means that approximately
two-thirds OF the radiation
1t is able to deliver will be
emitted during the time 1t
Is in the liver. Apparently
its use is quite safe in cases
of tumors still confined to
the liver structures. When
malignant cells have metas-
tasted through the blood
stream the picture Is not so
encouraging.
The isotope still will seek
out these vagrant. abnormal
liver cells. the Btookhaven
experiments showed. but the

ton on the blood cell system
were considerable and much
greater than expected.

Bees in winter are not the

In the old days. bats were
held to be undesirable by
most people. A few nature
fans regarded them as in
teresting.
Now the pointer has swung
the other way. with the find-
ing that bats have been
shown rabid in 10 states.
A householder must exam
inc carefully all the unde-
sired wanderers that take to
the shelter he has provided
for himself.
These visitors include the

Also. let us not forget,

the ubiquitous bee bug.
These. along with moths. are
household problems to be

The other creatures named

often the householder has no

Squirrels. especially, are
not to be treated too rough

that suspension of the STATE PRESS was under
consideration. The reasons given successful
boycott, intimidation of merchants who wanted to
advertise, abuse of news agents and the apathy of
the Arkansas Negro We were faced with one of
two alternatives, give up the paper or give up the
fight for equal rights
In spite of seventeen years of sacrifices and
hard work linked with persecution, suspension of
the paper was our choice. We are just determin-

Timely Tips For
Tobacco Growers

It's always a good idea to top
and sucker your tobacco. but this
wear it's more important than ever.
G.. r. Mathews, associate agrono-
mist at VPI. says that in some
areas of Virginia there has been
lots of rainfall, and the tobacco is
too thin and too light in color
Growers are advised to top all
their flue-cured tobacco and keep 1t
-suckered.
Mathews points out that proper
spacing and topping will not only
increase the yield. but coupled
with proper fertilization practices
and varieties. will produce the
milder. bright-colored tobacco now
in demand. In six-year expert
ment, plants that were topped and
suckered produced an average Of
1892 pounds per acre valued at
1852. Tobacco not topped and not
suckered produced an anverage OF
SIS pounds and sl78 less per acre
than tobacco topped to IL leaves
and suckered.
Except for the first primings, va
rieties that grow with a yellow cast
such as Virginia Gold and D.B
l0l should not be harvested until
the leaf is thoroughly ripe.

ROtati0nal And Continuous Grazing
OF Farm Animals Studied At Station

The scientists explain that it Is
common practice in Virginia to

are kept on the same farm A few

each species separately.

the usual system Of grazing cattle
sheep. and horses together for the
antlre grazing season in the same
pasture. with that Of segregating
each species and following rota-
tional system of grazing
From the practical standpoint
the main question was whether Or
not rotational grazing had enough
advantages to offset the cost Of
extra fencing needed to segregate
and rotate the animals. Even
though the data covers only one
complete and normal growing sea
son. the scientists say the "con-
clusion seems unmistakablet that
