Thursday, December 6, 197 3 The Nyssa Gate City Journal, Nyna, Oregon Your County Agent Says Malheur Memorial Hospital A Report To The People Oale Christensen, Administrator THE X-RAY DEPARTMENT. The function of the X-ray Department ia to provide the beat diagnostic assis tance possible to the attending phy sician and the patient. The X-ray te chnician is available day and night, and his or her primary consideration is always the welfare of the patient. This is best served by obtaining the maxium amount of diagnostic infor mation. A single x-ray can sometimes tell several things. For instance, a single film of the chest for tuberculosis can also show the measurement of the heart, or air under the diaphram, which could mean a perforated ulcer. A single film of the abdomen can show excess gas in the stomach, or a calculi in a ureter, or will sometimes even show gallstones. When a child has had a head injury it is important to get several films, with the head positioned in at least five different ways, because the head is like an egg shell and can have a fracture line anyplace. Very frequently a patient has pain so great in one area that something else can be overlooked. The technician tries to get all the information possible in order to cover all the areas involved. The Radiologist reads the film with infinite care and makes a report to the attending physician. X-rays made in the hospital, and the reports thereon, are the property ofthe hospital They are made available at the request of the patient to any physician who is caring for the patient, so that their use is for the best possible care of the patient. The Malheur Memorial Hospital has the latest of radiology equipment, which includes a X-Omat which is the develop ing unit of the x-ray film. With this piece of equipment, film can be develo ped in 90 seconds. This can be very important in case of emergencies. X-Ray technicians are on call 24 hours per day for the convenience of the community. EVALUATE YOUR LEAFCUTTER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM One of the real production limi tations facing alfalfa seed growers this coming crop season is a short age of pollinators to set the seed crop. The problem is that only the leafcutter and alkali bees do an ef ficient job in pollinating enough al falfa blooms to produce a good seed crop. Both will be in short supply this coming year. The leafcutter bee population has been declining for several years due to a number of causes. These in clude losses to insecticide, losses due to cold or windy weather periods and an unknown factor that cause high larval mortality. Some farmers have used the same bee boards for a num ber of years and many of the holes are filled with cells that didn’t hatch and are infested with such nest des troyers as carpet beetles, grain beetles and other parasites and pre dators that reduce the leafcutter population. Page Seven Alfalfa seed growers should evaluate their leafcutter management •yatem and upgrade it wherever possible. It can pay big dividends »hen next year’s seed crop is har vested. CAT7LE DEATHS - DUE TO SHIP PING FEVER Potential supplies of carcass beef was reduced by 220,000,000 pounds, or enough to supply 1.9 million con sumers with their 116 pound per year diet of beef. The death loss and medical treatment expenses cost live stock feeders $95 million. The American Nationalcattlemen's Association Animal Healthcommittee headed by Malheur's Bert Hawkins places shipping fever as the number one disease research problem. TIME NOW TOORGAN1ZE4-H LIVE STOCK CLUBS Now is the time of the year that 4-H Livestock Clubs are getting or ganized for the coming year. Every area of Malheur County has at least one club available for young people 9 to 19 years of age that are In terested In livestock. The mam concern of these young stockmen at this time of the year is selecting and purchasing their projects. To show these projects at the 1974 Malheur County Fair, August 14 - 17, market beef animals must be in the member’s possession by March 1 and market hogs and lambs by May 15. Al) other animals must be in possession by June 1. When selecting market project animals 4-H members need to keep in mind the weighTrequirements for animals going through the Junior Auction. These weights are beef 850 to 1200 pounds; sheep 80 to 125 pounds and swine 180 to 235 pounds. Animals not meeting these weights can be shown at the fair but not sold through auction. Last year over 335 young people participated in livestock clubs and present interests indicates that the participation will increase this year. Anyone interested in joining a live stock club may either contact live stock leaders in their area or the Malheur County Extension office. to control this type of scours. The first step begins to get those calving cows onto clean ground. Ground with adequate drainage and room for the calving herd. Many of these scour bacteria are carried over in the soil so moving away from the source of infection can be one of the veryeffective means of controlling the disease. Some operators have converted to fall calving to hold down scour losses. This is just one of the beneficial effects of fall calving according to research findings at Squaw Butte Experiment Station at Burns, Oregon. HERD MANAGEMENT CONTROL LINGCALFSCOURS Welcome news to some cow calf operators last year was the announce ment of a new effective scour vac cine developed specifically for certain virus caused scours in small calves. No vaccine as yet has been developed to combat many of the bacteria scours. Herd management is the best approach ¡numerica. Buy U. S.

Herb’s Views By Herb Fitz Here it's November with 14 inches of snow in my front yard. It seems to me that 1 read somew!:«re that we were going to have an open winter this year because we always have two or three years in a row of the same kind of winter. 1 looked back in my records for the last 22 years and this is a record of some sort. Now what should we look forward to. One of the weather prophets in this area told me, "Don't fussabout this snow because it’ll all ram off in a few days." A not tier said, "Man, we can sure expect a lot of deep snow this year ’cause this Is going to stay with us." This brings to mind the ancient Indian who wisely said that it was going to be a long, cold whiter. When asked how he knew he replied,"White man bankum house." 1 knew we were going to have a lot of snow because the highway crews put up tall snow markers. The only time my system for foretelling the weather fails is when the highway crews goof up and use the wrong poles. This usually happens but it looks like this year's going to be a winner. This early suow has just about fooled everything This afternoon my wife found a water bird of some sort wal lowing around in the snow. All 1 know about the bird is that it has a long sharp beak, red eyes and a black topknot 1 never saw a bird like it. There were several of them found and all died so 1 guess this will be the probable fate of this little fellow. Anyhow he missed the southern turn and got Io6t. Yesterday 1 went up town and was griping about the snow to a friend of mine He advised me to cheer up as 1 had only about six more months to put up with it. He then said,"Any- how Herb the snow’s beautiful Just think your’e living on a large Christmas card. It really is beautiful isn’t it?" 1 replied, "Yes the snow is beauti ful, but on the otherhand, so is a forest fire. However I really don't want to live with either one of them."! must be getting old. CHECK THIS PRICE CHECK THIS PRICE CHIFFON)'!^? ImiET-TBSUe II 2 Ku IK. i •T TASTY TeNPERBe^r LEAN CENVÉI?-CUT A*.
