THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. Keep DDT Away From Dairy Cows Experts Cite Danger Of Milk Contamination The U. S. department of agri culture’s entomologists have issued a warning that DDT should not be used for insect control on dairy cows. Even small amounts of DDT in food such as milk—a universal diet for infants and small children— might prove harmful in time, ac cording to toxicologists of the food and drug administration who have studied the subject for several It may be a temptation to use DDT in order to keep your dairy herd looking as sleek and contented as these animals, but authorities warn against it. years. They say presence of the chemical in milk would be con trary to the food, drug and cos metic act. The entomologists now recom mend methoxychlor, another effec tive insecticide, be substituted for DDT to control insect pests on dairy cows. Federal entomologists make no change in their recommendations for the use of DDT in controlling insect pests on other livestock, in cluding beef cattle. The department’s entomologists, chemists and veterinarians, coop erating in the investigation of the toxicology of DDT and other in secticides, say the application of DDT directly to milk cows for con trolling insects results in the pres ence of small quantities of the in secticide in the milk. They say al so that DDT in small quantities can be detected sometimes in milk following ordinary use of the in secticide for fly control in dairy barns. The bureau of entomology and plant quarantine has repeatedly cautioned that forage treated with' DDT and other chlorinated hydro carbon insecticides should not be fed to dairy animals or to live stock being finished for slaughter. A number of new insecticides are under investigation by federal en tomologists for controlling insects on cows and in dairy establish ments. Leaves Tell Story The leaves on com plants tell whether the crop is well fed or starved. That 'can make a lot of difference at the harvest. For only well fed com can produce high yields, well filled kernels and good quality ears. Growers should take a little time to examine those com leaves in the field. Healthy, well fed com is a deep, dark green. Any other color spells trouble. It means that the com plant is starving for one or more of the three plant nutri ents—nitrogen, phosphate or pot ash. Figure 1 in the illustration shows a typical case of nitrogen hunger. The signs show first at the tip then spread to the midrib of the lower leaves. The middle of the leaf turns yellow and dies. Figure 2 illustrates potash star vation. It shqivs on the tips and edges of the leaves. These turn yel low and later look scorched. Com hungry for potash has weak roots and stalks. It lodges easily. Potash starvation signs can appear at any stage of the corn’s growth. Bam Hay Driers Attract Attention of Many Farmers Bam hay driers have been at tracting a lot of attention recently and many farmers are reported thinking of installing equipment in order to assure themselves of high er-quality hay. Usually any information desired on techniques or equipment for this work can be obtained from the lo cal county farm agent, or from ex tension service specialists at the various state universities. MIRROR Of Your MIND Nervous Giggle Has Psychic Cause By Lawrence Gould Can a person overcome a “nervous giggle”? Answer: It may not be easy, both because the habit usually is more or less unconscious and be cause it grows out of deep-rooted attitudes and feelings. What the giggler is really saying when he behaves as if everything were funny is: ‘‘Please do not take me seriously”—which in turn means: ‘‘Do not blame me for being the sort of person I am.” Far from be ing merely meaningless or silly, the habit reflects a chronic sense of personal inadequacy if not of downright “guilt," and getting the better of such feelings is the way to cure it. iMO Should a psychiatric patient read this column? 1 Answer: Several psychiatrists have told me that some of their patients are among my readers and have sometimes found the column helpful, but there may be danger in a person who is under psychiatric treatment reading along such lines. No two individual cases are exactly alike, and there’s always the tempta tion to adopt a ready-made solution rather than keep probing for your private and peculiar “answer,” es pecially if you are a person who would rather theorize than come to grips with harsh facts. Let your doctor decide. Do a couple’s parents deter mine which will be “boss”? Answer: They may, if both part ners grew up in homes of the same type, reports Hazel L. Ingersoll of the University of Tennessee. If both the wife and the husband grew up in homes in which father was the dom inant authority, they will be apt to take it for granted that the husband should be “boss,” while if both were reared in families where mother “wore the trousers,” their marriage will usually follow the same pattern. Different backgrounds will mean either discord, or a compromise solution on an “equal,” “demo cratic” basis.

JmM. -ttOtUl KOHb, GEM OF THE ORIENT- ANP SEAT OF EASTERN FAITHS - IS NON THE KEY CHRISTIAN CENTER OF ALL CHINA I * FRAGRANT TLOiNgR | KEEPING HEALTHY | General Practitioner of Today By Dr. James W. Barton J T ISN’T ANY WONDER that most medical students graduating these days are equipping themselves, or would like to equip themselves, as specialists. Their desire to get away from general practice with its long hours, and night calls, is only natural now that government regulations would put psysicians on the same basis as members of la bor and other unions. Everybody realizes that laboring men and women would be in a sorry mess today if it were not for unions, so that it is a natural se quence to find the various special ists forming their own unions, de manding, of course, that before a member is admitted he must have received the education and ac quired the experience necessary. What about the general physician, if, as it is reported of one gradua tion class in medicine, only 12 per cent expressed a preference for general practice? In the “Canadian Medical Asso ciation Journal,” Dr. W. V. Johns ton, Lucknow, states that he has come to look upon specialists as having three functions to perform. First, they are consultants and as such they help to keep me out of trouble or to get me out of trouble. Second, they are my teachers. Thirdly, they are our research workers. General practitioners have to di agnose and treat 85 per cent of the ills of mankind, and this includes the knowledge of when and where to obtain help for the other 15 per cent. Because of the importance of the knowledge of general medicine, today both in Canada and the Uni ted States, "specialists” in general medicine have formed their own organization. To show Ifow the position and prestige of the general practitioner is improving this same medical col lege at which, in 1946, 12 per cent of the graduating class preferred general practice, in 1949 graduated a group of which 58 per cent pre ferred general practice. Dr. Johnston states that he and his fellow practitioners believe that each university should have a chair of general practice and that general practitioners should be made thor ough-going and integrated mem bers of medical school faculties. Also that every general practitioner should be on the staff or permitted to use all facilities of a hospital DEVOTIONAL READING: I Peter *: 19-25.

L ONG AGO riding in his slow chariot through the southern sands, a puzzled reader with Isaiah 53 in his hands asked the question other readers have asked ever since: Does the prophet speak of himself or of .some other? The answer given by Philip (see Acts 8) has been the answer of the church ever since: This prophe cy can be under stood only in the light from Cal vary’s Cross. Phil ip did not say, and we need not insist, that the prophet had Jesus, and Jesus only, in mind when he wrote. What we do say is that while these words might have described some one the prophet knew, might have described the whole nation of Israel, might even have described himself, still the words make but a poor picture of any one else, com pared with the picture they make of Jesus. • • • The Scarlet Thread rSAIAH 53 has been in the center * of the church’s thinking about Christ from the beginning. It may be said to run like a scarlet thread through the New Testament. It was in the back of the minds of Paul and John and Peter alike. This great prophecy sheds a light on what otherwise had been a black opaque blot—the death of Christ. What would otherwise be simply a horrible tragedy, per haps the greatest tragedy of history, the perfect case of complete injustice, the final evidence that there is no God, in the light of Isaiah 53 be comes a center of glory. Instead of being ashamed of the cross on w'hich Jesus died, the church sings, ‘‘In the cross of Christ I glory,” . . . “Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.” We believe that Christ suffered not for his own but for others’ sake. Suffering, not forced but willingly undergone, suffering not as mere pain but that others might be saved, suffering on behalf of others and for love of them—this is the key to the riddle of existence, this is the key to the heart of God. • • • Not Christ Alone I F CHRIST’S MEN had refused to follow where he led, if all Chris tians had been willing to let him carry, alone, the burden of the world’s sin and grief, there never would have been any Christianity— for there would never have been any Christians. Peter and James and the rest of the apostles would have refused to die for Jesus’ sake. The noble army of martyrs would have been an ignoble army of cowards. No missionary ever would have left home and comforts and coun try; no mother would have laid down her life for her children; the unselfish service of those who have cared for the sick and the orphaned would never have been done; in deed, h:.d no one ever been willing to suffer for the benefit of others, one wonders whether the world could have even held together this long. Christ died that the world might live, yes; but others also had to die to make his death avail. He died for Africa, that Africans might live; but Afri cans died till men like Living stone and Schweitzer and many a less famous man and woman also went out and lived there in loneliness and died in pain. Christ died for the little children of the poor, but until the Salvation Army and others like them went down into the slums and suffered there with and for them, those poor little people died without so much as dreaming that God might love them. Christ died for all the lepers in the world; but until a Father Da mien, and others no less Christ- like, went among the outcast lepers and became outcasts themselves for the love of Christ, those lepers died in the dark. • • • “Let Him Take His Own Cross Daily” VES, Isaiah 53 pictures the self- * sacrifice of our Lord, above all. But any one who has any intention of being a true servant of God must be willing to find his own life-direc tion right here. The world does not need more pain; it does need those who will suffer pain to serve others in Christ’s name.
