MedfordJTribune Second Section MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1955 Six Pages Agricultural Agent Includes President Among Clients for Farming Information Gettysburg, Pa. U.R) Frank S. Zettle never has been to the White House, but you would have to list him as an adviser to the President. On such matters, for instance, as what kind of fertilizer is best for a certain crop. Zettle is Adams county agri cultural agent, and his clients include a local farmer named Eisenhower. ' Little problems come up from ?ej V 1 wyfrr"'fi'" '. GOOD EXAMPLE Yul Brynner, star of "The King and I," gets I measured for a chest x-ray. The American Cancer Society says this ' Is best safegu ird against lung cancer which shows up in early stages on an x-ray piate. Men over 45 should have such exams twice a year. Surgical Society Hears Dr. Luce The Medford Surgical society, , inhandling nerve casualties of including surgical specialists and other interested doctors in the city, heard Dr. James C. Luce, neurosurgeon, present a paper on nerve miunes, Mon- the home of Dr. peripheral day night at Jack Ingram. . The talk was illustrated by lantern slides showing the latest methods of tests, diagnosis and treatment of nerve injuries of the upper and lower limbs. Tech niques of surgical care drawn from Dr. Luce's wide experience World War II and Korea, pro vided background for the discus sion. The speaker also announced that electromyograms, which are of value in determining recov ery of nerve injuries, can now be made on patients here. The ma chine is located at Sacred Heart hospital. Electromyograms are tracings indicating muscular ac tivity through changes in electri cal potentials in muscles.) The next meeting will be held in the fall. time to time, they call in for help and we give it," Zettle says. Zettle doesn't get phone calls from the busy chief executive himself, but from either Ivan Feaster, caretaker of the Eisen hower farm, or Gen. Arthur Nevins, who is helping the Presi dent get into the farming busi ness. "It may be a question of what fertilizer you should use for a certain crop or what corn variety, just the ordinary things that any farmer would call for," says the 32-year-old graduate of Penn State University's agri cultural college. In Transition Stage Zettle has visited the Eisen hower farm "about half a dozen times" and has answered numer ous phone queries. He said the Eisenhower staff needs about the same amount of advice as any other farmer. "They've been more or less in the transition stage out there," he said. "Originally they had a dairy herd and now they're switching over to beef. "We've advised them on such matters as remodeling buildings and fences to accommodate the herd, and building pastures and growing a hay crop." One of Zettle's assignments involved testing soil samples in his basement laboratory. Good Beef Soil "We checked a sample for lime requirement,'' he said. "This is important to the soil fertility program. They're con centrating on proper fertilizers, timing and moving over to more grassland in the rotation. That fits into their type of farming." In Zettle's opinion, the 189 acre Eisenhower place four miles outside Gettysburg " is "a good livestock farm." "It's not on some of the best soil in the country, nor on the worst. It has the type of soil that fits in well in a livestock pro gram," he said. Zettle said other farmers in Adams county are proud to have the President among them. As for his own feelings: "You don't have an oppor tunity every day of performing a personal service for the Presi dent of the United States." - ' D -NOWl Create- the kitchen you want AT THE PRICE YOU WANT TO PAYt LSMIVVXAKI& KAIluc biISIMuLe I I fEbwi&UC RANGE ENSEMBLE YOU START by choosing the Hotpoint electric cooking units you want to fit the plan of your kitchen.
