CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Bad Start in Wheat Control Thie last place in the world to advise curtailment of wheat production it would seem would be the North- west. Yet that is what the federal Farm board is doing. That is, the farmers of Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana, who produce that high protein grade of grain for which millers have been paying premium in the last . few-years are asked to grow less as a means of reducing the surplus of wheat. Of protein wheat, the millers have not, however, been able to get that proportion that milling could use to make higher grades of flour. At the same time that the Northwest is d to grow Jess of this high quality grain, the Southwest is allowed to increase its acreage by 870,000. It is this winter wheat “which creates the surplus that is expected, or, if too larze in volume, remains in this country as a drug on the grain market, reducing prices. ‘The advice of the Farm board would not be so scrious a matter if it were not for the implied threat which gocs with the suggestion. The farmers may find themselves Penalized in loans next fall, if they do not take orders. It is likely that these orders would be highly helpful in aiding the Farm board to achieve for the grain growers that relief which was contemplated in setting up the or- ganization and the system of control which is to be the basis of solving and relieving egriculture’s ills. But in allowing the Southwest to go ahead and increase acre- age, the Farm board undeniably made a false step. The ex- cuse is that the seed already was in the ground when the board thought of its plan and promulgated it, along with @ recommendation for decreased cotton acreage in 1930. That plan is to regulate loans in proportion as the farmers curtail acreage. This year's loans were an emergency measure over which there was no such auto- matic regulation provided as the board intends to en- force hereafter. Anyhow, the same treatment is not as- sured for 1930, says the board. It cannot protect the farmers, it says, if they deliberately overplant. One cannot criticize the Farm board too freely, for it must be conceded that it has a compiex problem to work out and that there is no experience to be guided by, so that it is quite possible that, from time to time, opportunities to do the right and wise thing may pass before that wise and right thing is perceived. As Chair- man Legge said to the senate investiga the board could not be exp: to possess the wisdom en the spur of the moment for which the lawmakers of the nation had been greping ting anywhere. But it is plain that the Northwest is penalized by th? circumstances as they have developed. Worse yet, if the | brought to a close. curtailment the Northwest can make in its acreage this spring should be made and should better 1930 wheat prices, then the Southwest growers will profit by the sacrifice of the Northwest, in spite of what the Minneapolis Tribune terms the profligate planting of the Southwest. The section doing the right thing would bo penalized while the section taking the hostile cour would be rewarded. It would not be a just and consistent outcome. Such a blunder must not happen again. Already it * shas damaged the prestige of the Farm board and com- promised the policy of farm relicf by the bad beginning! that he was sent there to toss a monkey wrench into the thus made in inaugurating one line of solution of ih? disturbing surplus problem. A Mysterious Disease Appears It seems a far-fetched precaution, yet the U. 8. Public Health Service, of which Dr. J. D. Jungman is a rep- resentative in this state—having been sent here as epidemiologist in the state health department—is keen- ing wateh all over the country against any outbreaks of parrot fever, one of the rarest, most mysterious and most fatal of infectious diseases known to medical science. The watchfulness is the result of the recent appearance of the disease in Annapolis, Md., where a couple have been fighting for their lives against the dread and mysterious infection. The fever is known medically as psittacosis. The disease is so rare that it has been many years since it last appeared in this country. The first out- break this time was reported from Buenos Aires, in Ar- gentina, last October, a sailor's pet parrot communicat- ing the infection to a company of actors which had used the bird in a play. Several of the actors died, including one of the foremost comedians of South America. An- other outbreak in one of the Argentine provinces was next reported, then the Annapolis cases. The disease seems to be contracied originally from Parrots and has a notable tendency to become epidemic in householiis, All the members of a family may be stricken, presumably from handling or cleaning out the cage. of the same sick parrot, without the disease spread- ing ariy further. ‘There ‘are cases on record, however, which indicate one*ptrson has contracted it from another, which weuld make possible a widespzead epidemic. The fever very high mortality rate of from 35 to 40 per cont, but the figures do not tell the whole story, for the f to.whigh it seems to be contributing factor. The actual disomst, according to the Public Health due t6 the likelihood of diagnosing’ it of influenza.

Outbreaks fol- lowed in England and Italy. The disease is desetibed as “like typhoid fever com- Plicated by pneumonia.” It becomes manifest in from 7 to 25 days after the infection. Sometimes the onset is sudden, with severe chills, like pneumonia, and some- times it is gradual, with headache, loss of appetite, nausea and great lassitude. The diagnosis is difficult be- cause the bacillus psittacosis recovered from the victims is very similar to the paratyphoid bacillus and the stretptococcus and pheumococcus are usually found in conjunction with it. Some authorities insist that psit- tacosis never has been found in a human being. Others believe that the infection is not sefious in itself, but that psittacosis prepares the way for the pneumococcus volved, while no cas¢ of lung damage has been found in dead parrots. The progress is similar to that of typhoid fever. Th# temperature goes up rapidly, reaching from 102 to 10¢. with daily remissions, and the pulse rate is from 100 to 120. There is a cough from the first with bloody sputum, Business Confidence Due to Facts Julius H. Barnes, head of the industrial advisory com- mission of 400 business leaders who ate to cooperate with President Hoover in keeping the business of the country on a stabilized keel, makes the inspiriting prediction that normal conditions will prevail by March 1. Already, according to Mr. Barnes, business is on the up-grade. Taking the savings account figures of New York as a barometer, he points out the fact that these increased $18,000,000 in December. Another straw, in the opinion of Mr. Barnes, is the fact that insurance borrowings have declined to normal after running as high as $100,000,000 in October. | Palpably these conditions are owing to the course taken by President Hoover in calling in the business and in- dustrial leaders of the country for the facts as to condi- tions following the recent stock market slump. These facts, showing industry sound and only speculation in trouble, as they became known to the public in general. Tit .Be SECOND eq “TO.

If one fol-™ lows ‘this method, a great tmptovc- ment in both the number of red blood . Jcalls and the color of hemoglobin can be restored. In fact, the various forms of anemia, including pernicious and secondary, usually yield in a spectacular manner to a simple com- monsense form of treatment. Some- times the rate of recovery is almost unbelievable. For example, with an orange juice fast it is often possible to see an immediate improvement in the red blood cells. It seems that the toxins which were responsible for the anemic condition are absorbed snd éliminated, and as the blood becomes , cleaner and healthier it is able to in- crease both in the number of red blood cells and the percentage of color. I have yet to se# a case where ‘| this improvement did hot take place. In cases of secondary anemic, where there is a larger number of is to eat plenty of vegetables, It is impossible to determine 7,500: white blood cells per cubic millimeter, ‘and the blood should have & definite amount of redness caused by the hemoglobin in the red blood corpuscles. The redness of the hemoglobin is caused by iron pig- ments. You can realize how import- ant this hemoglobin is to the health when you understand that it carries the oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. When the percentage of hemoglobin falls below 90, the body can not obtain enough oxygen. A lot of people think that since hemoglobin is made from an iron compound, all that is necessary to in- crease the qmgiint of hemogolbin is to eat more iron. As a matter of fact, eee a» x ~ had a good deal to do with laying the economic scare the market debacle had started. Of still greater affirmative encouragement were the announcement of figures by the utility companies, show- ing contemplated expenditures of more than $4,700,000,000 in improvement—$1,008,000 right here in the Bismarck district by the North Dakota Power and Light company. Lauding President Herbert Hoover for his leadership in organizing American business in fact finding groups, Mr. Barnes declares that as a result of the recent con- ferences and surveys, most of the adverse psychological reactions to the market decline have been averted. Rumors that became gemeral after the decline, stories of unemployment and of huge withdrawals of saving funds. have been found to be false. As a result, business and industrial leaders, knowing the true facts, have been able to proceed with constructive plans, he says. Coolidge and Smith The recent announcement of the manner in which the $6,000,000 estate of the late Conrad Hubert 1s to be divided among various charitable organisations brings to a close an episode that has made extremely pleasant reading. Former President Calvin Coolidge and former Governor Alfred E. Smith were two of the committee of three named to settle on the method of dividing the estate. For a number of months they worked together; and there was something very refreshing about the manner in which these two distinguished men—utterly unlike one another in birth, breeding and outlook—pitched in to- gether to perform a public service. ads Calvin Coolidge and Al Smith—a strange pair to work their joint activities, pleasant to speculate on the con- trast which their presence on the same committee kept emphasizing.
