Not a Hard Problem Unlike farmers in some other parts of the nation, North Dakota's agri- culture faces no real difficulty in determining what to do with the acres made idle by the wheat and corn allotment programs. In only a few of the last 10 years have we had enough feed for our livestock. In many cases sheep, cat- tle and even hogs have had to de- pend on straw for roughage and there have been sections where even straw has been lacking. It is obvious, therefore, that acres taken out of wheat and corn produc- tion can well be used for pasture and and meadow. Well-cured hay can be carried over from one season to the next and it will be of real benefit, in the event of future drouth, to have| ® surplus on hand. Another use for the land is the planting of flax. This nation pro- duces less than half of what it con-} gumes and the American grower has the benefit of a substantial tariff. Ordinarily, the only competition is with Argentine flax but the other day! 13 carloads of flaxseed arrived in ‘Minneapolis from India, away on the other side of the world. The current industrial pickup is doing much to increase the market for paint and varnish, into which much flaxseed goes, and if agricul- tural prosperity returns so the farm- er can buy the paint he needs the demand will be endless. We need not worry what to do with acres made idle by the allotment plans. They not only put cash money in our pockets—but they offer op- portunity to build up our reserves of livestock feed. In this connection, a recent plea from Ramsey county farmers that the corn-hog regulations be revised to permit them to continue or in- crease their normal corn acreage is ‘worthy of attention. Their idea is to participate in the hhog-reduction proposal but to con-| gins. tinue with their corn acreage and perhaps increase it since it makes excellent feed for other cattle. If this arrangement is made they would gree not to market any corn as grain, The hog situation would, of course, be taken care of by the sign- ed agreements. Under the corn-hog plan a farmer meed not decrease his corn acreage to participate in the hog payments, but he must agree not to increase it or other hog-feed crops. The Ram- fey county men, pointing to the situation created by drouth and grasshoppers, feel it would be wiser all-around economy to plant more corn, provided it did not add to the marketable surplus. This they pro- pose not to do. The idea is very much worth while nd investigation by the department of agricultifre will prove the fact. It might be a little difficult to explain to Iowa farmers why North Da- kotans were not required to decrease their corn acreage, but if they and the government can be made to un- derstand that corn has never been, is not now and may never be a cash crop in this state, there should be no objection. Any inequalities which might be charged would be apparent rather than real. It is sincerely to be hoped that the revision which the Ramsey men ask can be effected, to the advan- tage of North Dakota farmers and without harm to those elsewhere. Defeating a Parable Don’t be surprised if, one of these days, the average newspaper refers to syphilis with the same frankness that it mentions cancer, tuberculosis or heart disease, If it does, the credit—or the blame EEE ! Fi : i H i REUEE a g spread of the malady and to delay general adoption of means to effect @ cure. The reason for the popular atti- tude is clear enough. Mention of the disease implies, in the average mind, departure from the path of rectitude and illicit sex contacts. They are not things for general discussion and | should be frowned upon. Their ef-| fects should be frowned upon, too. But the scientists jar this assump- tion severely with the declaration/| that as high as 40 per cent of all ing syphilitic infections are acquired through sources other than illicit sex, relationships, that is through mari- tal relationships in which husband or wife was infected before marriage, in- fection of children before birth, or .§0| through strictly non-sexual contacts. For the disease is communicable in much the same manner as tubercu- losis and is considered as such by competent health authorities. Health officials now are recom- mending that every physical examin- ation include a blood test and that cases of suspected infection be brought to a physician’s attention for diagnosis and treatment Physici- ans, in turn are urged tosuggest blood tests particularly to pregnant women, if there is the slightest question, in order that the unborn child may be Protected. They claim there are methods of doing this and thus avoiding the terrible toll of misery which many now pay in such cases. The whole thing may be an effort to defeat the parable about the price of wrongdoing being paid, with in- terest, down to the fourth genera- tion but that should be no argument against intelligent handling of a vital health problem. A Good Sign for Us In addition to making loans on farms, which have been turned out recently at the rate of almost a mil- Hon dollars a day, one of the func- tions of the Federal Land Bank at St. Paul is to dispose of the lands it already has on its hands. These were obtained by foreclosure during the time, several years ago, thousands were losing their homes and this fact may justly be inter- preted as meaning that someone had failed to make good on them. Nevertheless, it is pleasant to note that they now are returning to pro- duction through sale to private in- dividuals and that North Dakota is sharing in the movement. During January the bank sold 1,125 acres in this state, this area comprising five farms, In Minnesota five farms were sold for a total of 829 acres. The average price paid for farms in the land bank district was $28.42 an acre, the highest since 1929. The number of sales in the district during Jan- uary was 63, compared with 18 for the same month a year ago. It is one of the best indications of recovery in this district. When peo- ple with money regain their faith in the land it is a good sign for North Dakota. Will Hear Arguments In Gammons Case Soon Arguments in the case of the State vs. John Gammons will be heard about March 23, according to Assist- ant Attorney General Milton K. Hig- The case was set for argument Fri- day of this week, but upon request of John F. Sullivan of Mandan, Gam- mons’ attorney, the case was postpon- ed until a later date. Gammons, who was convicted of embezzling funds of the state indus- trial commission last June and sen- tenced to seven years in the peniten- tiary, is asking for a new trial. when} self-addressed envelope is enclosed. A CASE OF COLITIS AND A WARNING A correspondent delivers this warn- “About three months ago I read your article in which you said there is ‘no sech animile’ as muccous colitis. About the same time I first noticed considerable mucus—TI took your advice and “ignored it as much as possible,” with the result that a few weeks later I found myself in the hos- pital with a severe case of ulcera- tive colitis. Furthermore the treatment was rest, irrigations, hypodermic in- Jections and “freak diet” (your own words). What I should like to know now is this. Are you still of the opinion that there is “no sech animile” as mucous colitis? If I were writing an article I should say “At the first sign of (we'll omit symptoms) have a@ proctoscopic examination.” ‘The correspondent’s recommenda- tion is a good one, only so few lay- men would act upon it. The procto- scope is an instrument by means of which the rectum is examined. Four out of five persons who suffer with trouble in this part of the body prefer to fool along with nostrums, freak dieting and the like. False modesty, or just plain ignorance, keeps most victims of rectal or colonic troubles away from competent physicians— physicians who do not attempt to prescribe for or advise or treat such cases until they have made a proper examination and determined precise- ly what is the matter. I cannot assert too emphatically that there is no such condition as “mucous colitis.” Colitis means in- flammation of the colon, and there is certainly no inflammation present in the characteristic complaint which wiseacres and their quacks call “mu- cous colitis.” ‘This correspondent fell into the error which many others are likely to fall into, from the misunderstanding caused by applying the term “colitis” to a complaint in which there is no such serious condition. The corre- spondent confused real colitis with the imaginary “mucous colitis.” Ulceration in the large bowel is a serious condition. I cannot discuss it here, for the simple reason that it is impossible to do so without sug- gesting to healthy readers morbid symptoms. But I agree with the cor- respondent that the wise course for any one who develops any symptoms at all is to go immediately to a com- Petent physician—and remember, please, that a competent physician never prescribes for or advises or treats one with rectal disorder or similar complaint until he has made a proper examination and determined definitely what he is treating.

Signed letters pertainfng to personal health and hygiene, not to disease diagnosis, or treatment, will be answered by Dr. in ink. No reply can be made to queries not conforming to instructions. Address Dr. William Brady, in care of this newspaper, Brady if a stam Letters should be brief and written as “mucous Colitis” occurs I am not advancing merely my own notion. I am giving you the consensus of me- dical opinion. Try and controvert it —if any physician of standing has the courage to dispute this teaching. The correspondent seems deter- mined to show me up in the worst light. Among the remedial measures that were used in treatment of the ulcerative colitis was “freak diet.” Freak diets, to my mind, are the kind wiseacres monkey with on their own funny notion or on the sugges- tion of some mail-order humbug healer. I have never implied that dietary regulations prescribed by one’s own physician are in any way absurd. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Borax "Em Out I wrote for your instructions for eradicating roaches, which you sent Promptly, but such a horde of them invaded my house that in despera- tion I sprinkled borax in crevices and the corners of cupboards or wher- ever I thought the roaches would run. Next morning I was delighted to find many roaches dead. I used the borax for a week or two and have not seen @ roach since. (Mrs. A. 8. K.) Answer—I hope other readers will report their experience with borax. If it is efficacious it is much better than the chemical I recommend for the purpose, which is far less safe than borax to have in the house. Finger Tips Cracked T am a woman 60 years old and for the past five years have been much troubled by cracking of the finger tips, and the skin of my hands being very dry... (Mrs. H. A.) Answer—Occupation may be a fac- tor. Use of harsh cleaning agents is @ common cause. Give the finger tips a good greasing with real cold cream (made by the druggist after the Pharmacopoeia formula).
