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.

"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

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.

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

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

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.
