poisoned by the accidental in
gestion Of this compound.
The group reviewed case re-
ports of 72 poisonings in Houston
Corpus Christi, San Antonio and
Galveston. All Of the victims were
under IL years Of age.
The study showed that Is per-
cent, or 8 OF the 72, had died. Oh
48 survivors, 26, or 54 per-
cent, had abnormalitieS involving
the nervous system, the authors
said.
Mental abnormalitieS, namely,
retardation and psychosis, were
the most common findings, they
said. Several children were SO
severely retarded they had to be
placed In institutions, they said.
Abnormal reflexes, irregular
mus cu1ar coordination, and
tremor we're the next most COM
mon findings they said.
Since the abnormaities were
present six months to seven years
after ingestion Of the poison, they
we're considered permanent, the
physicians said.
Present legislation, which
limits the content Of thallium sui
phate In household pesticides to
one per cent is not adequate,
they said. Texas enacted such a
law In 1857 and the US. Depart
ment of Agriculture issued a
similar regulation in 1860, they
said. Nevertheless, they said, 81
percent of the ~ cases In Texas
occurred after the 1857 law was
enacted.
Rat poison containing thallium
sulphate could be replaced by
compounds which are more ef-
fective and relatively harmless to
humans, they said.
In lieu Of ban on this poison,
the authors said, 'fevery house,
hold should be made aware that
thallium sulphate containing pes
ticides may cause permanent
neurological damage, and that an
effective antidote is yet to be
found.o

D eIuwure Youngsters
Observe National
Al Club Week

Delaware's 1000 All Club
members are now observing Ma
tional All Club Week.
These youngsters, 10 to 81
years old, are among the more
than two and a quarter million
4-H club members throughout
the nation.
Among the National All Club
Week (March 2-9) activities in
Delaware are parent night pro-
grams, talks by Al members
at civic clubs and special radio
programs, according to James
o. Baker, state All leader. Some
Al clubs have also prepared
educational exhibits.
In addition, a statewide Al
square dance Is planned for Sat-
urday evening, March 8, at Cap
ita1 Grange Hall, Dover. All All
club members in Delaware have
been invited to attend.
On Thursday (March 7)several
Al club representatives visited
the state capital, where they
toured the old state house, hall of
records, legislative hall and the
state museum.
Delaware 4-H-ers participate
In 80 different projects, Baker
notes. Among them are foods,
clothing, home Improvement and
Identification, field crops, poul-
try, dairy, livestock, health and
safety, machinery maintenance
and conservation.
Al clubs provide valuable op-
portunitieS for both urban and
rural youngsters to learn use
full skills and also to participate
In recreation, social events and
tours, as well as awards for
their achievements, "Baker said.

Of 10-1O-1O.
OF course, there are some
problems with trees that can
not be solved by feeding. Over
crowding, open wounds, and soil
erosion causing exposure Of roots
and things of that sort will not
be corrected by feeding. Feeding
will, however, keep the tree in a
more healthy condition and in
crease its growth.
Milford chronicle., 1963-03-08
Trees Need Food

Trees growing in the woods
have the surrounding ground
covered with a fresh supply OF
leaves each year. AS the leaves
rot and form humus, they supply
the trees with food and help
regulate the temperature and
moisture supply Of the soil.
Trees on the lawn or on your
home grounds, on the other
hand, lack these many advan-
tages. 1t is usually necessary
to rake up the leaves to save
the lawn. Much Of the rain water
is used by the grass. Walks
and drives reduce the area for
the uptake Of food and water.
AS the food and water supply
of the tree is lessened, limbs
die, and trees make little
growth. It's necessary to feed
your trees, particularly those
in adverse loc ations, according to
Ed Ralph, Sussex Associate
County Agent.
There are many different types
Of fertilizers that may be used.
A regular garden fertilizer such
as 5-10-10 or 10-10-10 may be
used. Trees need nitrogen
principally, although other foods
are also essential. The first
figure in the fertilizer analysis
indicates the amount of nitrogen.
Fertilizer should be applied at
about this time Of year. Under
most conditions, trees need feed
ing every 8 or A years. Annual
treatments are needed for trees
growing in adverse locations. It
is well to avoid over stimula-
tion Of growth by applying too
much fertilizer each year.
Fertilizer for small trees may
be applied to the surface Of the
soil. However, for larger trees,
especially those on slopes, the
fertilizer should be put in holes
8 to IL inches deep. These holes
may be made with a crowbar, i,
auger, or similar tool. Start
about A feet away from the trunk
and make holes around the tree
1-1/2 to 2 feet apart. The circle
Of holes is spaced about two feet
beyond the first circle and so
on, until the outer circle reaches
the outer drip Of the branches.
The further out from the tree,
the more space should be left
between holes. Pour 1/2 to one
cup Of fertilizer in each hole
and then fill with soil.
It is difficult to give definite
rules for the amount offertilizer
required for a tree, Ralph said.
A general rule is as follows:
Measure the trunk 5 feet above
the ground and for each inch
in diameter, apply 2 or 8 lbs.
Of mixed fertilizer such as
5-10-10. If a 10-10-10 or 1854
fertilizer is used, one to two
pounds per inch in diameter IS

University Tip
On Cabinets

How many times have you
bumped your head on on
open cabinet door In your
kitchen?
Here's an idea-from hous-
ing specialists at the Univer-
sity Of Illinois-that can help
you avoid such mishaps.
Take off those cabinet
doors and replace them with
q pull shade. You'll find its
easy to draw UP and down
as you use the cabinet. And.
1t saves the room that would
be taken up by doors swing
ing on hinges.
The shade can be made Of
bamboo for q natural wood
effect. Or, II you prefer white,
you can use q plastic or can
vas shade. Some Of the newer
printed shades are nice. They
can be used to add color and
interest TO your kitchen
decor.
