2 B The Medical by Asthma Recently, Dr. R. S, B. Pear son reported the problems of 625 patients with asthma who, Ir , ' I iod of six years, had at tended two London clin ics. The as thma was looked on as p r i m a ry In 553 of the pa tients and sec- Alvarei onaary I o bronchitis in the remaining 72. The disease showed up before the age of 10 years on how to Improve Your Soil by the "GOOD HUMUS MAN" 5 Organic matter has been apt 5 ly termed the life of the 5 soil. Its Importance In main 2 talning fertility and produc 5 tlvlty of soil Is very well yj known. The richness of land pj Is often fudged by the dark j color Imparted In It by Its pj content of organic matter, pj The role of organic matter ei can be considered from three I points of view, physical, I ' chemical and biological. ' I In terms of physical changes organic matter such at Mul- I tl-Bark, cart modify proper- I ties of the mineral 'matter, I B It can change the water re- I lationshlp of soil and In- I J crease the ability of the soil I to hold water, Multi-Bark I added to heavy soil, such as 1 we have around the Rogue ' 5 Valley, will make It easier to J E work. Two or three inches of ' S medium grade Multi - Bark j p. worked into the soil will pre pj vent compaction and allow pj water to enter much more , pj rapidly and hold the mols- i pj ture in the soil, this makes pj It more favorable for seed pj germination and plant pj growth, pj Multi-Bark, a natural or pj ganic soil conditioner, serves pj as a reserve supply of neces-' pj sary plant elements' which pj become available for plant pj use as the material is decom- posed. Multi-Bark is not a fertilizer so tho proper amount of fertilizer should be added. The amount re- quired will depend on the type soil and the crop re- qulrements, When fertilizer elements are added to the soil, they are held by tho rich humus of Multi-Bark until used by the plants. The Importance of organic matter such as Multi-Bark in a particular soli will vary but In all cases It can and does contribute to propor use and management of our J soils, For more Information on how you can Improve your soil and beautify your landscape call the "Good Humus Man" at Kogap Lumber Ind.

MARCH 12, 1981 Roundup Emarltui Consultant in Mediclnt Mayo Clinic Kmerltui Profeiaor of Mediclnt Mayo Clinic (Ref liter and Trlbuna Syndicate! 1961) in 40 per cent of the patients and between the ages of 1U and IS years in an additional 16 per cent. The doctors found infections, allergic and emotional factors at work in producing most of the asth matic attacks. Often two or three of the factors were at work at the same time in patient, The number- of per sons much distressed by their asthma rose with the increas ing age of the patients. Obviously, it take a wife and experienced doctor to treat asthma well. Last year I saw a woman with what I immediately recognized as an hysterical asthma-like spasm of her chest. I found that her spells came when she had had a row with her mother-in-law. Another person with asthma was found to be sensitve to goose feathers in some pil lows on his davenport. Anoth er asthmatic gets the wheezes whenever she eats a box of cnocuiuies. Another gels a spell when he gets a cold and a flare-up In his chronic bronchitis. An other man, a chain smoker, Is now wheezing all the time because, at the age of 50, he has an emphysema that has become chronic. And so it goes: Asthma Is a different disease In many type of pa tients. This is why I cannot answer people who ask mo to cure their asthma by mail. I would like to help them, but I do not know what type of asthma they have. I do have a booklet, "Asthma, Allergy and Hay Fever," which msy be useful to asthma sufferers. It may be obtained by send ing 25 cents and a large, self addressed envelope with your request to Dr. Walter C. Al varez, Dept. MMT, The Reg ister and Tribune Syndicate, Box 057, Des Moines 4, Iowa, Mentally Retarded Our public health authori ties recently reported that in the United States we have at least 5 million persons who are mentally subnormal. Each year in this country some 120,000 babies are born so retarded mentally that they represent a tragedy to the family. It is good that this year the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare is spending more than $10 mil lion for teacher-training and parent counseling; also re habilitation of the children, and some "research." I fear much of tli o research will be of little value because much of it is carried out by people who wouldn't be caught dead recording the fact that some feeble - minded child's rela tives were psychotic or decid edly eccentric or mentally re tarded. Unless we face this fact of heredity, we will never get anywhere. Hogan Returns From Eastern Trip Molvln N. Hogan, represen tative of the Harris, Upliam and company Investment firm, recently returned from a 10 day business trip to the east coast, ( In New York City he visit ed the home office, and met several of the company offi cers.

He hitchhikes throughout the country at his leisure, having racked up some 678, 519 miles at the time he was In Medford.

USS Bairoko, which was purchased by the Shun Fung Ironworks for scrapping at Hong Kong. During the voyage, covering a distance of some 10,000 miles, only one stop was made, In Hawaii, where provisions were taken aboard. . ' (UPI Telephoto) Enrolled in Phallpnpin? npw mntprials in agricultural and homemak ing science, special "honors" classes, and recognition of youth's capabilities account for some of the new interest in 4-H offerings, according to Cal Monroe, acting state 4-H club leader. Teen-Ageri Attracted Teen-agers have been at tracted to the program through new projects and ac tivities. New projects include automotive, gun safety, recre ation leadership, and fruit growing. Junior leadership and horsemanship continue to rank highest with the older youths. One of the most successful activities in the 4-H program has been the study of local governments, Monroe notes. Club members from nearly every county took part in the 1961 "Know Your State Gov ernment" conference in Salem last month. A total of 250 high schoolers, all 4-H'ers, or ganized and participated in "Know Your County Govern ment" programs in Washing ton, Malheur, Deschutes, Lane and Hood River counties last year. Mora projects ' are being written to fit ages and needs of Oregon's young people - a change from earlier days when the same project was offered to boys and girls from 9 to 21, Monroe explained. Shown In Figures How Oregon 4-H youths de velop talents through 36 proj ect areas, with 100 project divisions, are ' shown in en rollment figures. Clothing, livestock and foods, traditionally the most popular 4-H projects, rate most popular still with today's club members, Monroe said. Club seamstresses, 10,630 girls and boys, made a total of 38, 000 articles ranging from sim ple aprons to fully lined tail ored suits. Knitting was the fastest growing clothing proj ect with more than 1,000 new knitters added to 4-H mem bership this year. Nearly a third of all Ore gon 4-H'ers are enrolled in livestock projects. Forty-one per cent of the total club en rollment live on farms and the other 59 per cent live In cities or non-farm suburban areas. Portland's 39-year-old 4-H program serves 2,184 4-H club members. City youngsters have a choice of almost as many proj ects as boys or girls living on a farm, Monroe said. Only livestock and crops projects require more space than a city lot provides, and often city youngsters find room for a flower or vegetable garden and sometimes rabbits or poul try. The new dog project Is also popular among city youths who want to own an animal. Other popular projects are health, forestry, photography, entomology, and poultry. Gun safety, fishing and archery have been added to the wild life scries. Christian : a ' , .
