Prc-School Children
The state board of health Thurs
day urged parents to obtain com
plete physical and dental exami
nations as soon as possible for
all children entering school for

Dr. Harold M. Erickson, state
health officer, said that Oregon
school authorities ask parents for
records of such medical and den
tal examinations at the time
children first register.
Examinations should be ob
tained earlv to allow time to
complete immunization schedules
and any corrective work which
is indicated, Dr. Erickson said.
He also reminded parents that
many school districts require
conies of birth certificates for all
new admissions. These copies
may be obtained by writing or
visiting the state board of health,
noom 979, Portland state office
building. One dollar should ac

New Standard Grade
In Beef Explained
If you've noticed a purple
"standard" mark on beef you've
bought recently, here's the rea
son for it.
Some local retailers and" whole
salers are putting into use the
federal grading regulation that
went into effect this month es
tablishing a new "standard"
grade in beef carcasses, market
ing specialists at Oregon State
college explain. Some animals
that Were once graded "commer
cial" may become "standard" if
they are the younger animals in
this class.
As far as the kitchen cook 'is
concerned, OSC specialists have
this advice: if you buy standard
beef, use regular cooking meth
ods. Quality of meat is good,
it's tender when cooked properly,
and it has little fat Federal
meat grades are prime, choice,
good, standard, commercial, uti
lity, canncr and cutter,

Different Nitrogen
Fertilizers Vary
Little in Effects
When deciding what kind of
nitrogen fertilizer to buy, the
main thing to keep in mind is
the cost per pound of actual nit
rogen, including the cost of trans,
portation, handling and applica
tion. That's the conclusion of A. S.
Hunter, USDA soil scientist at
Oregon State college, and T. L.
Jackson, OS soils specialist, after
a study of 65 fertilizer trials car
ried out by the college's agricul
tural experiment station. These
experiments show little differ
ence in the effect of nitrogen from
different commercial fertilizers on
crop growth, if the fertilizers are
properly applied at the right time.
This means, they say, there Is
little basis for calming superior
ity of one kind of nitrogen fer
tilizer over another. While the
researchers found some experi
ments where one source of nitro
gen gave better results than other
sources., in every case there were
other experiments where this
source of nitrogen wasn't super
ior.
On the basis of their study, the
two men came to this conclusion
the nitrogen fertilizer that
costs the least forach pound of
actual nitrogen applied to the
soil is usually the best.
Of course, there are other
things than cost to keep in mind.
Hunter and Jackson point out
that the value of other plant nu
trients in some nitrogen fertili
zers such as sulpher in ammon
ium sulfate should be recog
nized. But only if the plant nu
trient is needed in the soil on
which the fertilizer is to be ap
plied. Differences in the amount of
acidity formed from different nit.
rogen fertilizers may also be im
portant, they explain. It's often
useful to apply nitrogen fertil
izers with a maximum acidify
ing effect on alkali soils, while
nitrogen fertilizers with a mini
mum acidifying effect have an
advantage on acid soils.
Where the fertilizer can be
placed is important under some
conditions. Putting the nitrogen
below the soil surface with place
ment equipment or by cultivation
can be very desirable for spring
applications in non-irrigated
sections of both Eastern and
Western Oregon.
