How You Can Help Stop The Spread of Disease The continued prevalence of several kinds of communicable or contagious diseases throughout the county has caused county health officers no small amout of worry during recent weeks. Re gardless of many stories, they are quick to point out that none of the maladies have reached what can be classified as epidemic proportions, but it Is their desire to see that none of them do. The common cold, is always making its effects felt, and much of the current illness is attri butable to it, but many of the symptoms of the current illnesses, scarlet fever, measles, "strep" throat, and the like are quite similar and are fre quently passed over until the person becomes "really sick." In an attempt to aquaint residents with some of the symptoms, as well as the possible effects, of these diseases, the health de partment has prepared a brief statement on them. The Gazette Times is glad to publicize it in the hope that it will help clear up some of the mis conceptions concerning the diseases and aid in preventing their further spread. "There have been some questions regarding scarlet fever and "Strep" sore throat and septic sore throat All of these diseases are caused by var. ious kinds of gerns of the streptococcus family. Some kinds of steptococcal germs cause fever and sore throat. Other kinds contain a rash pro ducing poison which in addition to fever and sore throat causes a bright red rash. If a rash de velops the infection is scarlet fever. If there is no rash it is a streptococcal sore throat. Septic sore throat is a severe throat infection generally caused by a streptococcic germ. "Rules and regulations of the Oregon State Board of Health and local department require the reporting of these diseases, scarlet fever, "Strep" throat and septic sore throat, so that isolation in structions may be given to families to prevent the spread of the infection to members of the family and others.

"Contacts in the household who are children, foodhandlers and teachers are excluded for 5 days from last exposure when removed from the household. "Scarlet fever and strep sore throats are spread through the discharges of the nose and throat, of acutely ill or convalescent patients. It is a serious communicable disease which may have compli cations of ear trouble, infected glands, diseases of the heart and kidneys including rheumatic fever. "It is important to see your physician for sore throat and fever whether there is a rash or not since complications can often be avoided by prompt medical care and adequate bed rest. "When you have a communicable disease please contact your physician and report it to the local health department for inductions regarding isolation, care of dishes, bedding and disinfection. "If you have a cold or sore throat keep away from crowds and groups. A day at home in bed will do much to cure your cold at the onset and will protect your friends by preventing its spread. Observe your children closely for the first signs of a cold and keep them home from school. "Now is the time to keep up your natural re sistance to disease, plenty of rest and a balanced diet will help you." From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson While Morrow county has few commercial fruit and nut grow ers, the new outlook circular, 1953 No. 2, "Fruit and Nut Crops", might be of interest to some Copies are available at the county agent's office. The new circular points out that the strawberry situation is such this year that there is need for production and marketing ef feciencies; boysen berries are in creasing, apples will be more plentiful and lower prices likely, winter pear crop may be larger, cherries find more competition. The circular points out that prunes are headed for more ups and downs in 1953 and that a larger peach crop will help main tain income. Plenty of tree nuts are in sight for a while. In looking over the outlook, it appears that fruit and nut grow ers have many more problems to face than the wheat, hay and livestock grower. Two rows ponderosa pine, one row Chinese elm, one row Russian olive and one row Caragana, were used. The planting will protect a planned farmstead. A windbreak planting using Caragana, Russian Olive and ponderosa pine, was made at the Valby Lutheran church on March Transportation thing like this. If you are an average person: you probably spend most on food and least on foreign travel and remittances. Bare essentials took the lion's share of your dollar in 1951. To eat, dress, live in a house, and operate that house took about two-thirds of the dollar. Food, by itself, took 29 cents out of each dollar spent in 1951; household operations 13 cents; clothing, 12 cents; and housing, 10 cents. Add ing transportation to these' items brings the total to about 75 cents. took the same A new, so called, low-cost pro tein feed has been developed in California. It's made from sugar beet molasses as a by-product of the flavoring agent, monosodium glutamato. It's called Mc-47. It contains 15-20 per cent protein compared to 3 percent for molas ses at San Jose, California. The new feed is interchangeable with molasses in the feeding ration. Windbreak plantings are popu lar again this year in Morrow County with several quite exten sive plantings going in. Donald Peterson, lone, is the first, to our knowledge, to plant his wind break. It was set out on March 10, using a five row planting. 10, also. This- will protect the church and hall from soutli and west winds. Trees have been ordered by Ralph Crtim,- lone, for a wind break planting on the south and west of his farmstead. Three rows Caragana, black locust, and port derasa pine will be planted there. It will extend 3G0 feet on the south and the same distance on the west. Ot tiers planning windbreaks this spring are Carl V. Bergstrom, Mrs. Lora Moyer, Geo. Currin, W. A. Ruggles, Heppner; Ted Palmateer, lone; Russell Miller, Mrs. Earl Briggs, Boardman; Ver non Munkers, Sam McMillian, and Roy Dolven, Lexington. The County Agent is attending amount of the dollar as housing, 10 cents. The other quarter was spent something like this: about 6 cents for recreation, and 5 cents each for personal business and medical care, including death ex penses; 4 cents for alcholic bev erages and 2 cents for tobacco. Personal care took slightly more than 1 cent and foreign travel and remittenees a little less than 1 cent for religious and welfare activities. This, remember, is in terms of money spent. In recent years, unlike tl depression days of 1932 to 1934, the average person has not spent all the money that he has earned. In 1951, out of each dollar of spendable income, he saved 7.G cents.

PMA Seed Toke-Over Poses Big Problem For Oregon Growers A federal regulation that re quires sampling and testing of all seed taken over to the Pro duction and Marketing adminis tration this year poses a big prob lem for Oregon seed growers that only planting and cooperation can solve, according to Dr. D. D. Hill, head of the farm crops de partment at Oregon State col lege. The difficulties lie in the fact that seed testing facilities would be snowed under with the job and that it would be costly to seed growers and warehousemen. Take-over date for cover crop seeds vetches, crimson clover,; peas and ryegrass was Febru ary 1. That program is now underway. For hay and pasture seeds alta fescue, alfalfa, la dino, alsike and red clover the take-over is scheduled May 1. Sampling and testing of these seeds, involving perhaps as many as 20,000 lots, is the big problem. Since the new regulation was announced to the Growers Seed league meeting in December, a joint committee from the league, Oregon Feed and Seed dealers, the state department of agricul ture and OSC has managed, -after great effort, to get a helpful modification of the rule. The modiftcation provides that only 10 percent of the samples in warehouses must be submit ted for test. If those samples con form to previous tests, the entire lot will be accepted. If they do not, the entire lot must be tested. One other thing that brightens the outlook is that seed on which quality and quantity is guaran teed by warehousemen will be ac cepted without further test pro vided it has been tested since December 1. Dr. Hill urges ware housemen and growers to cooper ate in this guarantee wherever possible to speed the program and to lighten the load on the seed laboratory in May and June. Ho also recommends early plan ning within the counties for prompt handling of the seed. Members of the joint commit tee working on the problem in clude: Seed league Joe Harland, Rickreall, Ton Ruckman, Imbler, and Hugh Willoughby, Harris burg; seed dealers Howard Had ley and James Jenks, Albany, and Robert White, Salem; state de partment of agriculture, Frank McKennon, chief, division of plant industry; OSC Dr. Hill and Mrs. Louisa Jensen, seed testing laboratory.
