Value of X-Rays
Shown By Study of
County TB Figures
The value of regular chest
x-rays of people who have no
symptoms of disease is clearly
demonstrated by a study of
tuberculosis figures in Jackson
county for the past seven years
just completed by the Jackson
County health department.
The study reveals that 30 per
cent of the tuberculosis in the
county during the seven year
period has been found by x-rays
of the general public. The cases
were found during the mobile
x-ray surveys which were avail
able only 10 weeks during the
entire seven years. These mo
bile surveys have sine been
replaced by permanent x-ray
centers in the hospitals.
12 Per Cent Advanced Cases
Also demonstrating the value
of x-raying people before symp-
tnmt rlevplnn i th fart that
only 12 per cent of the case
found in surveys were in the
advanced or moderately advanc
ed stages, the survey showed.
When allowed to go undetected
until symptoms are produced.
the study shows 65 per cent of
the cases are far advanced.
"When we realize each ad
vanced case costs the taxpayers
of this state approximately
$15,000, it is easy to see how
many thousands of dollars we
are saving by finding these cases
early before long care is re
quired," Dr. E. A. Merkel, coun
ty health officer, pointed out.
"This, of course, is beside the
-family tragedies and human suf
fering saved many residents of
our valley," he added.
Most Cases Among Malar
The study further shows that
75 per cent of the tuberculosis
found in Jackson county has
been among the male population
over 40 years of age.
"For this reason, we are espe
cially urging men to have a
chest x-ray at least once a year
and preferably every six
months," Mrs. Jack Walker, case
finding chairman, stated.
Permanent x-ray centers for
use of the people of the county
are, provided by the Jackson
County Public Health associa
tion at Community hospital on
Wednesday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
and at Sacred Heart hospital on
Thursdays from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Studies Show Value
Of Nitrogen To Crops
Nitrogen, when applied in a
nitrate form, produces greater
yields on spring sown oats, bar
ley and wheat, according to re
sults of an experiment at South
ern Oregon Branch Experiment
al station.
The experiment, conducted
last year, was on the relative
effectiveness of four nitrogen
fertilizers ammonium sulfate,
ammonium nitrate, calcium ni
trate and urea water solution.
The experiment included an ap
plication of $10 worth of differ
ent materials on barley, and an
application of 60 pounds of ma
terial on oats and wheat.
The grains were seeded and
fertilizers applied early in April
last year, and an unfertilized
area was left in each case to
check the effectiveness of fer
tilizers.
The experiment showed a
yield of 54.1 bushels an acre of
barley when $1Q. worth -of am
monium nitarte was applied.
The value of the increase above
the cost of fertilizer was $10.04,
while other materials showed
losses instead of increases above
the cost of fertilizer.
Sixty pounds of ammonium
nitrate on an acre of oats pro
duced 71.6 bushels an acre at a
value of $11.57 above the $8.80
worth of fertilizer applied.
Wheat produced from using 60
pounds of calcium nitrate totaled
26.5 bushels an acre, a value in
crease of $3.45 above the ferti
lizer cost of $13.56 per acre.
In the experiments, fertilizer
was applied to the surface, and
left for spring rains to take it
into the crop feeding area. How
ever, because of light rainfall,
much of the fertilizer was left
on top of the ground, pointing
out the advantage of a sub-surface
machine to put fertilizer
three to four inches into the
soil.
Nitrogen becomes available
and starts working quicker when
in ammonium nitrate and cal
cium nitrate than in other ma
terials, thus causing a greater
response in the grain.

Spain Increases Industrial Base

a substantial increase in her in

ister of Industry Joaquin Planell
said in a report to the Spanish
press. .
The report included figures
and percentage increases in the
national production of coal, iron
and steel electricity, chemical in
