Scanty
Only Crop Starter
Soil Building Practices
Needed lor Best Results
Scanty fertilizer applications are
like a shot in the arm a doctor gives
his patient. The treatment enables
the patient to recover enough to
take more nourishment. But in the
case of scanty fertilizer applica
tions, the "crop starter" gives the
plant quick early growth and a
strong root system, but fails to pro
vide enough nourshment to carry
the crop through to healthy, high-
yielding maturity.
Putting sufficient fertilizer in the
ground isn't a cure-alL You have to
be sure the soil is in condition to
deliver all the plant nutrients, mois
ture and oxygen the crop needs. To
produce maximum crop results,
fertilizer has to be teamed up with

other soil building practices. These
indude practices that will repair
damaged soil structure, improve
drainage and make the soil mellow
and build tilth and water-holding
capacity. When tilth, drainage and
ventilation are good, crop roots can
do their job of feeding the growing
plant.
You can fit the soil for maximum
returns from fertilizer by building
up its organic matter content. This
can best be done by growing well-
fed deep-rooted legumes regularly
in the rotation. The legume roots
and tops add organic matter and
make a thicker layer of soil. A soil
high in organic matter has plenty of
water-storing capacity.
niinois Farmers Enjoy
Tear, Reports Show
Farmers attending the 36th an
nual meeting of the Illinois agricul
tural association were agreed that
1990 has been generous to Illinois.
Farmers in every section of the
state agreed that corn, soybean and
other grain crop yields for 1950
were satisfactory.; Many reported
corn yields better than expected in
view of the anticipated damage from
com borers.
Cattle feeders, hog raisers, wool
growers and dairymen also enjoyed
generally good years.
Fruit growers, however, reported
peach yields were very light and
said the ppple crop was only about
half of normal.
Illinois livestock producers asso
ciation, a state wide agency coordi
nating the work of livestock market

companies handled animals valued
St approximately $150,000,000 during
the year.

RURAL HEALTH
Small Town Ingenuity Improving
Health Condition in Farm Areas
cm
More than 18,000 accidental
deaths per year occur among
farming people in the United
States. Farming is the most dan
gerous occupation a man can
enter, even more dangerous then
mining, lumbering or construc
tion.
Farmers have all the illnesses
of city folks but in addition they
have this special problem. That’s
one reason whj farm areas have
a special need of doctors and hos
pital facilities. And according to
the Health Information Foundation,
rural areas, largely because of the
ingenuity and initiative of their citi
zens are making it possible for doc
tors to bring the benefits of good
medical care to these communities.
The availability of medical as
sistance in rural areas, the Foun
dation points out, is at a level
never before reached, because of
the telephone, the automobile, im
proved highways and a vastly
stepped-up hospital construction
program. But in addition, many
communities which . never before
had quick access to the best diag
nostic equipment and skilled medi
cal assistance now enjoy these ad
vantages, because they actively
sought them.
"Some of the methods by which
individual rural communities have

Lone Pine, Calif., for "The
Travelers," suggested a picnic
when some friends from Hollywood
came to visit The party, which
included her husband, Michael
O’Shea, drove as far as possible
into the High Sierra country, then
walked for several miles. Starving
hungry, they settled down for lunch.
But—nobody had brought the buns
to go with the hot dogs, they
couldn’t find any wood that would
bum, and a swarm of gnats moved
in. They returned to Lone Pine and
a restaurant.
Ronald Regan, who broke his leg
in a charity baseball game last
year, figures that it cost him $100,-
000 on salaries he didn’t earn while
waiting for it to heal. But come
spring he figures he’ll be playing
baseball again.

achieved this level of medical ef
ficiency,” says Admiral W. H. P.
Blandy, U.S.N. (Ret), president of
the Foundation, "are a tribute to
American ingenuity and coopera
tion.’’
Admiral Blandy, who commanded
the joint army-navy force which
conducted the atomic bomb tests at
Bikini, said thet where the chief
problem has been the lack of a doc
tor, citizens have banded together
to create conditions which would at
tract a young physician. In other
communities both a doctor and a
clinic or hospital have been needed
and in such cases it has been pos
sible to raise funds to erect com
munity-owned facilities offering the
necessary equipment for the prac
tice of medicine in its most modern
form.
T YPICAL OF SUCH endeavors by
the admiral was the hospital
built in Ennis, Mont., by the people
of the community. In order to at
tract a doctor to head the new hos
pital, the town arranged for suita
ble living quarters for the physician
and his family, and raised the
money for both the hospital build
ing and equipment.
In this particular case, before the
building and equipping of the hos
pital was an accomplished fact, an
automobile accident caused six pa
tients to be brought to the unfin
ished facility. Citizens turned from
fund raising tasks to gathering the
necessary beds and other equip
ment to care for the patients. For
tunately, the doctor had arrived
some time before and had set up
practice in the town. Previous to his
arrival, Ennis had been five years
without a doctor.
The town of Okarche, Okla., popu
lation 500, is another example of
community enterprise described by
the Foundation president. Towns
people built and equipped a $118,-
000 hospital, raising the money by
soliciting funds, by voting a $40,000
bond issue and by selling pre-paid
hospital certificates. In addition,
they devised a plan of dedicating
memorial rooms, which brought in
enough money to reach the final
goal.
The first hospital to be built in
Washington County, Kans., is the
Hanover Hospital and Clinic, a one-
story steel, brick and concrete
structure with all up-to-date facili
ties and ten beds (15 in an emer
gency). It was financed locally by
a bond issue of $35,000 in an area
of eight square miles designated
for tax purposes as the Hanover
hospital district. It actually serves
a much greater area. Donations
from individuals and organizations
such as the American Legion total
ed another $10,000, which was used '
for equipment.
The doctor who heads this new
facility, Daniel S. Roccaforte, M.D.,
came to the small community from
Omaha because he preferred to
practice in a small community.
When interviewed by a Foundation
representative, Dr. Roccaforte ex
plained that he was able to move to
Hanover only because there were
in Hanover the tools and facilities
he needed to practice.
"Any community which is in need
of a doctor or a hospital might profit
from the splendid examples set by
these American communities,” Ad
miral Blandy said. In many cases,
medical care community problems
which seem insoluble can be solved
readily by community initiative and
the assistance of experts who can
give guidance on technical aspects.

THE

CORNER
THE LAST STRAW
By Lula W. Kellams
I N THEIR EARLIER married
years Flora and Ralph Wilson,
were an ideal couple. Both were y
handsome and jolly, with identi
cal tastes and friends. But, ss they
grew older, Flo matured, while
Ralph tried to
say boyish and
frisky.
"Why not act
your age?” she
often asked,
wistfully. "We have such a lovely,
comfortable borne for middle aged
folks. Our department store is,
dignified enough for older manage
ment. You don’t have to keep up a
front”
Ralph would chuckle. "Not jeal
ous of your old man, are you, Laby?
No foolin’, I don't show the years a
bit do I?”
"It’s not honest” Flo contended,
"Everyone recognizes middle age
when he sees it Anyone can
recognizes a toupee.”
But she knew when to hush. They
mustn't quarrel over trifles. Of
course, she didn't think this grow
ing breach in their ages was a
trifle, but Ralph did.
Every day she felt morp strongly
that something must be done to pre
serve their marriage; and every
day she coul^ think of no possible
solution.
One morning she said, "I—J don’t
feel like going to the store, dear.
I’m sure Miss Gray can manage
alone. There is housecleaning and
things to do here.”
"Okay, dear,” Ralph agreed
readily, kissing her good-bye.
Fear stabbed Fie. Why did he
agree so hastily? Why didn’t he
ask her what was wrong? She
BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET
Charlie Learns Hard Way by Meeting a Six-Year-Old
By BILLY ROSE
Last night, in the mood for conversation and kartoffelklase, I
went a-calling on my Aunt Frieda and my Uncle Charlie.
"Your uncle, he ain’t home,” said Frieda as I walked into their
Allen Street flat. "He is having a nervous break-up, and Dr. Gittle-
son is sending him to Mr. Feitlebaum’s place in Lakewood—Cathe
dral in the Pines.”
"What brought it on?” I asked.
"Well, is like this," said Frieda.
"A couple weeks before Groundhog
Day—you should pardon the expres-
sion—is coming home your uncle
and announcing he is becoming
baby sitter. Every
he says, the Ler-
ners on Rivington
Street is going to
the theatre uptown,
and Mrs. Lerner is
offering him a dol
lar a hour and free
television if he will
sit with their little
six - year - old boy,
Wilbur.
"Well, when Char-
Monday night.
Billy Ross
lie is coming home the first Monday
night. I am naturally asking him
for the five dollars, but he is tell
ing me be ain't got it. He and Wil
bur, he says, is watching the wres-
ling on the television and betting a
dollar who will win, and the little
boy is winning five times consecu
tive.
"NEXT MONDAY, Charlie is
again losing the five dollars. This
time is baseball. He is betting on
the Brooklyns, and the dumbhead,
he is not knowing what Wilbur is
knowing—that Jakie Robinson is not
playing on account of because he
has a busted hand.
"Tbs third Monday, your unclt
is going to the Lerners with a deck
of pinochle cards in his pocket—and
again is losing the five buckses. Wil
bur, he says, it catching on very
quick, is remembering all the cards,
and by 10 o’clock is trumping and
melding him right in the ground.
"Well, all summer it goes like
this. Every Monday Charlie is baby
sitting and every Monday he is
losing to the baby. And quinclquant-
ly he is not eating so good and is
hollering and banging with the
doors. This little boy is making him
plain crazy, and your uncle is
swearing he will get even-Steven—
no small fryer, he says, is making
him a monkey.
"Last Monday 1 am figuring l
will see myself what is going,
and so l keep Charlie company to
the Lerners. There l am meeting
Mrs. Lerner who is giving me a
big howdy-doodle, and explain
ing her husband is busy in the
shop, and is inviting me l should
go with her to the theatre.
"She is also making me acquaint
ed with Wilbur, and while she is
putting on the hat 1 am talking with
him, and he is making on me a very
good impression.
• • •
"LATER WHEN we are coming
home from the theatre the impres-
a
sion is changing, because Wilbur is
playing on me and your uncle e
trick from a hundred years ago.
"A trick like this: When Mrs.
Lerner and me are going out, the
little boy is telling your uncle his
mother wants he should take a bath
right away, but he ain’t got time
because Hopalong Cassidy is in
twenty minutes. So your uncle is
telling him a man don’t need twenty
minutes for a bath, and he could
do it easy in fifteen. So the little boy
is betting him five dollars he can’t
take off his clothes, bathe himself
and dress full up in fifteen minutes.
** ‘Starting from a full tub?* is
saying your uncle.
“ ‘Starting from a full tub,’ is an
swering Wilbur.
"Well, as everybody knows,
Charlie is a fast bather and is
doing the job complete in nine
minutes. And when we are com
ing home from the theatre be is
smiling like Steeplechase. 'I want
you should be present at the pay
ing-off ceremony,’ he says, 'for
taking a simple bath, l am win
ning five dollars cash from WU-
bur.’
“When 1 am hearing this, X am
thinking the ceiling is falling down
on me.”
*T don’t follow you,” I said to
my Aunt Frieda. "Why weren’t
you happy? Charlie finally won.”
"Is simple," Frieda explained
sadly. "While I am getting ac
quainted witb Wilbur and his mother
is putting on the hat, he is betting
me ten dollars he cah make your
uncle take off all hia clothes."
"FunnieiJ&' thing

too.”
had an impulse to change her
mind and go. Bnt tears and
self-pity were aching In her
eyes and throat.
To conceal her feelings, she said
briskly, "Wear this old bat, dear.
I want to send that one to the
cleaner’s.”
"But it’s so shabby and it doesn’t
fit well.”
Stubbornly Flo held out the oid
straw hat until he donned it reluc
tantly, leaving hia soft gray felt
on a chair. She refused to watch
him swagger off, whistling like their
son Danny when he was a college
freshman.
Tears blurred her vision while she
picked up things and cleaned and
swept. Wasn’t there something that
would save their marriage, some
thing like taking reduefng exercises,
or turning kittenish?
The idea was revolting. She had
no heart to compete with their three,
young daughters. If— if she had
just begufi years ago trying to re-<
main glamorous instead of turning
into a mother, maybe things would
have worked out better.
B
Y NOON, she felt less frustrated.
She even hummed while she
whipped up Ralph’s favorite cake
and cooked potroast. If she had an
especially appetizing supper, and
the children were in jubilant mood,
maybe Ralph would see how well
off he was. Maybe, just once, he
would forget his diet.
At 5:05 the children caUed saying
they had to stay for play practice.
Flo’s spirits drooped. Would Ralph
call, too, pretending that business
detained him, leaving her rlone in
the dark, silent house?
She waited with apprehension. AT
6:15 sharp she heard the car stop,
then Ralph’s step on the porch.
"Supper ready. Mom?" he called.
Dread gripped Flo. He’d called
her mom instead of baby, or dear!
Just one day’s staying home made
her seem old-fashioned to him!
He strode into the living-room.
"Mom, you’re looking at a suc
cessful man! Today I landed
that fat Atkinson account. Mr.
Kimley, their new buyer, said 4
looked like a settled, respecta
ble business man."
He chuckled at Flo’s astonished
face. "Funniest thing happened.
Remember how tight that old straw
hat was? Well, the minute I took *t
off in front of that flippy Miss Gray
and the office force, they all started
giggling. My toupee came off too,
so I glared— like I meant to look
fifty, instead of thirty. It’s a won
derful feeling of relief. What’s for
supper. Mom?"
"Potroast and your favorite cake.
Dad!" As they marched in to sup
per, arm in arm, Flo just knew that
there never had been such a lovely
bald head as her husband’s.”
S.O.S. to Germany
1 HAVE A FAVORITE PIPE. It
was given to me by a friend,
wha secured it from the factory in
London, where it was made. Should
anything irreparable happen to that
pipe, I could not replace it because
the factory and all of its seasoned
briar, accumulated over more than
100 years, was destroyed by a Ger
man bomb during World /War TL
That piece of wanton destruction
constitutes my pet peeve against
Hitler and his German hordes.
I am sure my affection for
that pipe aids la my under
standing of the attitude of the
French people toward the crea
tion of a new, German army.
Other nations, including our
selves, look to Germany as a
protection against the possible
attack of the Russian hordes
on Western Europe. It is early
tor the French people to dim
their memories ef destroyed
hemes, ravaged farms, the •
death ef loved ones, for which
the German army was respon
sible. But hard as it may be,
the French people and the
French government most think
of the Immediate future, and
what an Invasion ef Stalin and
his Russian hordes would mean
to them and to all the free peo
ples of the world. The free
world needs and mast have a
Gorman army If the overran
of Western Europe Is to be pre
vented.
That there is danger fqr France
in the recreation of the German
army cannot be denied. That na
tion has suffered the agonies of
Invasion by Germany three times
in a little mors than half a cen
tury. Quite naturally they do not
want another, but an invasion by
the hordes of Russia wouH be even
worse, and it is a choice between
these two that France is being
called upon to make. The free
world, including ourselves, that is
seeking protection against Stalin
and his Red army, should bo able
to offer Franco ample assurance
against another attack from Ger
many, as the price we must pay
for French consent to the rearr lng
of Germany. With that insurance,
we are in a position to insist.
This nation, and others of
the North Atlantic pact, have -
been patient tor an all too long
a time, when we consider what
Is at stake. France has not lis
tened to the arguments of
diplomacy. It Is high time that
she hear the'voice ef a soldier,
the volee ef a respected and
capable commander who has
hot recently rescued France
from an aggressor, a man
garbed in a uniform and speak
ing the language of a soldier,
rather than the voice of diplo
macy garbed in the frock coat,
striped pants and high hat of
the state department.
If the free world is to have a
chance of stopping the Russians
before they overrun all of West
ern Europe, including France, and
reach the shores of the Atlantic,
we must have that German army.
The Interests of the free world are
greater than those of France alone.
Time is running out, there is no
more left for further argument.
The state department has failed.
It is high time to try something
else. Let us try a soldier as a
spokesman, a sympathetic soldier
to be sure, a uniform, rather than
a frock coat that has failed.
European nations, including
Russia, have always under
stood the language of the re
spected soldier better than that
of a none-too-weU qualified,
and largely repudiated diplo
mat.
It is high time we had a change
if the free world, including France,
is to convince Stalin that aggres
sion in Western Europe might be
decidedly unprofitable. Just as it
is high time that I stop sighing
about what may happen te a fav
orite pipe, and concentrate on > the
more serious problems of me
period. It may be a bard thing to
do, but the French must forget
their pet peeve and concentrate on
what may be coming tomorrow.
Presentotion of that subject by one
for whom they had regard and re
spect would quite probably be help
ful to them in seeing and choosing
the road ahead.
A new contract the Chrysler
corporation has signed with its
105,000 employees means an annual
wage increase for the company to
pay of over $2,000,000, and more if
the cost of living increases. That
is one item in the inflation spiral.
The freezing of wages is not pop*
alar with the labor bosses.
