Story of Blight Control
THE story of pear blight control, a story dating back two
decades, will be unfolded Friday at the Talent Experiment
Station when pear growers of the Rogue valley will be given
opportunity to see the results of the years of painstaking and
tedious selection of resistant root stocks by Prof. F. C. Rcimer.
In carrying on the work, Prof. Reimer has gathered pear
stocks from several foreign countries and now has what is be
lieved to be the largest collection of varieties in the world.
Feeling that the French root stock held the best possibilities for
all-around purposes, the experiment station chief planted 10,000
commercial French seedlings which were inoculated with blight
bacteria. Each year many of the trees died, the survivors being
again inoculated until at last only ten trees were left, these
proving by survival, their power of resisting the tree scourge.
Seedlings from the ten resistant trees have been, propagated
along with French commercial seedlings. The uniformity of
growth of these selected trees as compared to the blight wracked
condition of the commercial seedlings makes a most interesting
contrast which will be shown Friday,
Growers and others interested in the continued success of
pear culture in the valley should

turned from Europe the other day
and Immediately called a special press
conference. Half the newsmen In the

Mr. Cummlngs answered the first
few questions with the apology that
he had been in Europe and did not
know anything that had been going
on In his justice department.
Finally, an obliging stooge In the
rear of the room asked how Mr.
Cummlngs enjoyed his stay tn Eu

mlngs had been watting for. m He
leaned back and discoursed upwards
of half an hour on the Joys of a va

so fatigued at the end that It waa
glad to get out without asking any

To the Editor:
Tli a bonding mania that swept the
country from the close of the World
war up to 1939 constitutes perhaps
our greatest problem In combating
our depression of today. During this
period the bonded debt of the Rogue
valley farmer reached such propor
tions that he was crushed under the
load. The debacle which resulted not
only lost the bondholder from fifty
to sixty-five cents on the dollar of
his Investment but It also depreciated
the value of every farm In the valley
In about the same proportion.

Astoria, a city visited this week has

Grants Pass and many other cities
of Oregon have learned their lesson
and have turned thumbs down on an
tncrrase of the bonded debt. Is It pos
sible that Medford cttlwns are so
lacking Judgment, foresight and In
telligence as to plunge our city Into
bankruptcy? I think not.
A majority of the city council will
register their votes against this bond
issue, and tt is my candid opinion
that members of the water eommls

HOW NOT TO BAND
A
The first lesson and perhaps the
most difficult for the novice In first
aid to learn is Do Not Touch,
If you are deal
ing with a fresh
wound, burn, cut
or abrasion tt ts
of vital import
ance to see that
nothing shall
come in contact
with the wound
unless It la first
sterilized. Tour
fingers cannot be
absolutely steri
lized, altho a
thoro soao and
hot water washing of your hands
makes them nearly germ-free. A dress
ing which has been exposed, or salve
which has been uncovered to. the air
or to possible contact with fingers,
is never sterile and Is not safe to ap
ply to a fresh lesion. Gauze, cheese
cloth, cotton, linen, a handkerchief
or plain washed rags which have Just
been Ironed with a hot Iron are prac
tically sterile and suitable to apply
to any minor wound. Any Instrument
or object or material which has Just
been boiled In water for five minutes
Is practically sterile and safe to use
for necessary manipulation or treat
ment of a fresh wound. In using
either dressing or instrument or me
dicament the first aid worker must
make sure that neither his own fing
ers nor any other surface not steri
lized shall touch the portion of the
dressing. Implement or salve which Is
to touch the wound.
Inquisitive fingers may readily
transfer virulent pus-germs (staphyl
ococci and streptococci) from a pim
ple or a young boll to some other
part of the skin where a trifling
scratch or abrasion affords a portal
of entry, and thus set up a new boll,
or if the conditions are suitable for
it, maybe septicemia (acute blood
poisoning), for these same staphyl
ococci and streptococci are likely to
produce septicemia If they Invade the
blood.
The popular practice of squeezing
bolls or pimples or attempting to
force the "core" of a boll out before
this gangrenous mass of tissue Is
ready to separate naturally, is re
sponsible for not a few cases of sep
ticemia or acute blood poisoning, due !
to breaking down of the natural de- i
fenso wall In the tissues around the '

related, Is attributed to an organism
transmitted by direct and indirect
contact. The organism enters and
emerges from the mucous membranes
of the nose and throat, the virus,
when dry, being also transmitted by
domestic animals or food, he said.
Secretions from the inflamed eyes
and ears on Infected persons also
transmit the disease, he added.
Describes Symptoms
Dr. H. Johnson described symptoms
of the disease as follows: fever from
101 to 103 depw, headache, pain
In the back and limbs, drowsiness.
restlessness, irritability, twitching,
vomiting, diarrhea, abnormal redden
ing of the throat and tonsils and
possibly convulsions.
Dr. Johnson advised that a phy
sician be consulted, immediately upon
the development of any of the symp
toms. The symptoms, he explained,
may Vary from extreme mildness to
alarming severity but the degree of
severity has no relation to the extent
of the subsquent paralysis or course
of the disease.
When any of the symptoms de
velop, the patient should be Isolated
Immediately and traveling and vis
iting should be prohibited. Dr. John
son said.
Hecks, Safety Plan
"We are trying to work out a health
safety plan that will be fair and
legal," Dr. Johnson said.
Dr. Johnson stated that one family
from Klamath county moved Into
Jackson county recently, and that the
group of five, were under quarantine
and observation.
As fast aa the county health de
partment Is apprised of the arrival
of famlllea from Klamath county,
they will be placed under quarantine
and observation. There has been con
siderable traffic back and forth be
tween Klamath and Jackson counties
the past two weeks, Dr. Johnson said.
In some Instances. Klamath county
families are moving here, and others
are social visits between friends and
relatives.
The matter Is also under considera
tion by the county court. County
Judge Earl B. Day said there Is no
Oregon law covering the invocation
of a quarantine by one county against
snother. Communities, however, large
or small. Judge Day said, could take
action.
Family ttetng Ohterxed
The county Judge said two families
have moved to this county recently
from Klamath county one to Oold
HUi: and one to Eagle Point. The
children are being kept from school,
and wilt be under observation a suf
ficient length of time to determine
whether or not they have contagious
dlreases or have been exposed to In
fantile parnlvsls.
"Every precaution Is being taken
hy the county health department,"
County JKlce Day ald, "to prevent
Infanitle paralysis getting a foothold
here."
Dr, Johnon stated that In one of
the recently arrived families from
Klamath county, there was slknes

QUESTION'S AND ANSWERS
Eating Sand
I am worried about by 17-month
old baby eating sand whenever he
can get any . . . (Mrs. L. O. S.) .
Answer No harm, as long as the
sand is not polluted. He'll get over it
soon. See that his desire for some
thing to chew Is satisfied with raw
carrot and raw cracked wheat.
Appendicitis
Will taking oil of any kind give re
lief to 'or prevent appendicitis? Also
cooking In oils Instead of fats? Most
doctors will not prescribe anything,
only operate . . . (Mrs. L. E.) -
Answer No. There Is some evidence
that a diet which Includes adequate
vitamins, particularly A. C B, and G,
tends to prevent appendicitis.
Fish Liver Oils
Relative values of cod liver oil and
halibut liver oils? (Miss G. S.)
AnswerThe latter Is richer In vi
tamins A and D.
- Flabbergasted Wheat '
Wife and I make one meal a day
out of, say. Agitated Wheat and Dis
torted Wheat and a pint each of pas

Answer More or less. Use Certified
Milk or Grade A Raw from tuberculin-tested
cows, and plain wheat
cooked as you like.

AAA officials Indicated, however,
that they were worried. Administra

Comment
, on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
IK. the current discussions of gam
bling that have been going on in
Oregon, attention has been centered
on what the gamblers make. Here
are two little stories, coming irom
sources regarded by this writer aa re
liable, that shed some light on what
they lose.
NOT Jong ago, a gang of smart
sharpen raided slot machines in
various parts of the state, and are
reported to have made quite a kill
ing. They operated in this way;
The gang was composed of two
men and two women. Its equipment
consisted of a tiny electric drill, ope
rated by a battery carried in
pocket.
The crew would gather around B
slot machine and start playing tt.
laughing and talking loudly. Under
cover of this noise, the drill would
be applied, punching a hole In the
machine at exactly the right place.
Then a wire would be Inserted
through the bole, the pay lever oi
the machine caught and lifted ann
the accumulated coins brought show
ering down.
IT took quick, accurate work, back
ed by careful study of the ope
rating mechanism. But brains can
be used dishonestly aa well aa hon
estly, and the scheme la reported to
have paid well for a while.
IS another Instance, a resort ope
rating slot machines was doing
a particularly rushing business one
night, and apparently the players
were losing heavily, especially on tne
50-cent machine. At any rate, tne
bar attendant waa doing a big bust
ness In half dollars, and the play
continued until the supply of 60
cent pieces was exhausted. It looked
like a big night, , with nice pr orris.
But when the machine waa emptied
it contained nothing but blank slugs
of the exact size of a half dollar.
The slick hijackers had fed in these
slugs by the handful, careful y sav
ing out the genuine coins that were
paid out.
SMART?
Well, one could hardly call it
that. The drill scheme for tapping
the slot machines required quite
a lot of ingenuity, and if the story
told to this writer is true the ope
rators of it gathered In what prob
ably looked to them like quite a oit
of easy money.
But the chances are that Jf they
had employed ( the same amount ot
ingenuity In LEGITIMATE ways,
their profit In the long run would
have been much greater. :
Those who are smart and crooked
make a LITTLE money. Those wno
are smart and honest usually make
much more. 1
BATTLING OVER BEER
NOT OVER YET AVERS
BREWERS' PRESIDENT
LOS ANGELES. Oct. 34. (AP)
Col. Jacob Ruppert. who seemed cer
tain of reelection as president of the
convention of the United Btates
Brewers' association, neared Its close
today, said the brewers still have a
fight on their hands with the "drys."
Chicago seemed favored for the
next convention.
"Certain drya do not differentiate
between ' beer and intoxicating
liquor.' said Ruppert. "They merely
vote and campaign wet or dry and
place beer with intoxicating liquor,
when, aa a matter of fact, our consti
tution now says 3.2 per cent beer is
non-1 ntoxloating.
"While the drya are not as power
ful apparently today as they were in
the days of prohibition, brewers gen
erally are confronted by a real prob
lem, that of showing the public that
beer might be likened a real tem
perance drink compared with hard
liquors, which axe intoxicating In
fact."
August A. Busch, Jr.. St. Louis
brewer, said there was no argument
"about the fact that we are headed
out of the depression and well on our
way to recovery."

SMOLINSKY SIGNS
FOR TUSSLE WITH
TERRIBLE MARINE
Joe Smollnsky, the Polish terror
ist, who so aroused the tribal war
instincts of Chief Thunderbird with
his fouling methods In their bout
last week, will be allowed to try his
horse-play on Bob Kennaston, the
Mad Marine from Gold Kill, at the
Armory Monday night, It was an
nounced today by Mack Llllard, pro
moter, i
Smollnsky, believed by many to
be the "masked marvel" who ap
peared here last winter, can chew
and chop all he likes against Ken
naston as far as most of the fans
are concerned, but at least he won't
chew unmolested. The marine also
favors that - type of warfare, and
when two meanies get together any
thing can happen. And sometimes
generally does. It la In these matches
that' one sees moat of the gooty
holds that provide such Interesting
conversation over the beers dtng
the long winter nights to come.
A few of the quaint methods ot
mayhem for which the two are
noted are twisting the ropes around
an opponent's neck, leaving him
there to choke, or starve to death
while, the referee tries wildly to un
tangle him. Another Is kicking the
opposition in the ear when he is
getting up from a missed drop-kick,
one of Kennaston's favorite poses.
While neither has ever carried the
iron stool Into the ring as a lever
with which to pry the enemy's eyes
out, they are both exponents of the
"dandruff cure" hold. Thia hold is
very simple, and consists entirely
of grabbing hold of a large handful
of hair and removing it. leaving a
large nude spot and a disconcerted
opponent. Dandruff, they argue, can't
grow on a bare skull. One thing
that can grow there la a scab, and
there are apt to be plenty of these-
In the other half of the main
event, Hans Schroeder, the Teuton
hammer-lock expert, will match his
wares against Harry Demetral, Chi
cago Greek who has not appeared
here for over a year. Schroeder is
probably the most punishing grunt
merchant ever to appear here, spec
ializing in hammer locks and arm
bars that hurt not only the wrestler
who Is getting the benefit of them.
but also the customers as far back
as the fourth row, who get deluged i
with flying sweat.
Demetral Is a wrestler of the old
school, and when the orthodox stufi
was being stressed, he was playing
hookey. To get a passing grade he
brushed up on his work by felling
cows with one hand, and crammed
for hla exams with brass knuckles
He's that type, but probably won't
get tough with Schroeder after the
first time.
Roland Warren, who bullied his
way to a win over Toy Aho last
week in an extra bout after finish
ing the first match all-square, wilt
tangle with Floyd WoUgang. the
Medford mechanic. In tha. 20-mlnute
opener. Warren defeated the local
artist in the final bout of the late
battle royal, but Wolfgang Isn't -vet
convinced that his flying leg hook
and slingshot specialties aren't gooi
enough to put the Klamath pride
In moth balls for the duration or
the winter.
The bouts will start at 8:30, as
usual, with Ray Frtsble the third
man in the ring. .
