THE BLOOD IN DIAGNOSING
DISEASE
Yon go to your doctor and tell him
that you "feel all washed out." You
are tirM all the time. You wonder if
you have malaria or some other
dreaded malady. You do not want to
get up in the mornings and when you
do, you just "give out" in a little
while. You expect the doctor to feel
your pulse, ask you some questions,
and then maybe give you a prescrip
tion. Instead he sends you to the
hospital for a "check-up." Now you
know you are in for it and you are.
They start with your blood and go
on from there until the body has giv
en up so many of its secrets that the
doctor either hag a clear mental pic
ture of what ails you or else he says
that other examinations must be
made.
A good many specimens of your
blood went to the laboratory. Your
blood contains red and white cells.
The former carry the life giving oxy
gen to all parts of the system. The
white cells- are the soldiers' of the
body and fight infections. ' Thei red
color of blood is called hemoglobin.
This enables the red cells to unite
with and carry the oxygen of the air
without which we could not live.
In order to determine the percent
age of hemoglobin in the blood we get
a little and match it with a color
scale. If your color per cent is nor
mal you are not suffering from
anemia.
Under the microscope the blood
cells annear as tiny round disks.
Properly diluted and thinly spread out
on a specially prepared glass slide
they can be counted. The ration of
red cells to white is 700 to one. The
blood itself contains trillions of micro-
sconic cells. The white cells either
swallow bacteria or they produce a
substance that destroys them.
The Jones boy is yelling with a
pain in the stomach. The doctor
rushes him to the hospital and has
his blood count made. His white cells
are multiplying very rapidly. The
illness is inflammatory. It seems to
be appendicitis from all clinical indi
cations. The white cells continue to
increase very rapidly. The soldiers of
the body continue bringing up rein-

Rush To Sell Timber .
Costs Farmers Money
'.. Tempted "to unload their timber
stock while prices, are high, many
Tar Heel farmers not. only are ruin'
ing their future timber crop but -are
also losing money by rushing to sell
at the first opportunity, believes John
la. Gray, assistant Extension forester
at State College. '
As an example, Mr. Gray says many
farmers agree to '. sell every tree
above a certain size, often specifying
a 10-Inch stump diameter limit or
even smaller. In most cases, he points
out, this is equal to setting no limit
at all since most trees below this
size will ndt make one 14 or 16 foot
saw log large enough to saw out a
clean 2-4.
According to Mr. Gray, two Edge
combe County farmers, Harvey and
Porter McNair of Tarboro, have found
by experience that selective marking
and cutting of trees improves their
timber stand for future use and also
enables them to obtain maximum in
come from their sales. Using the se
lective method, the McNairs were able
to determine which trees should be
cut and how much timber they had
for sale.
Assisted by Mr. Gray, the farmers
checked their entire 100 acres of tim
berland. Each tree to be sold was
marked with two spots of yellow
paint, one at the stump line for
checking purposes and the other
about, shoulder high on the trunk for
the convenience of the cutters. A
record was kept of the board feet
content of each tree.
The McNairs invited aH buyers to
make offers, and the best one was at
cepted. Terms of the sale were cov.
ered in a written contract which pro
tected the unmarked trees by placing
a double price on them.
Now, even though one good sale
has been made, fine, straight, thrifty
trees still cover the woods to grow
to premium sizes and to seed the
openings in with young trees.
lowing such a program and saving
large number of pigs front each litter,
Worth Carolina farmers can reasonab.
ly expect a good profit from hog pro
duction, he concluded. ,

New Substances Used
To Prevent. Dampness
New help against summer damp
ness in households and the damage
that goes with it mold, , mildew,
mustiness, rust, moisture stains,
swollen wood, and loosened glue in
furniture is on the market this year
in the form of non-drip moisture-absorbers
or desiccants, according to
Miss Ruth Current, home demonstra
tion agent for the State College Ex
tension Service.
Quoting home economists of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Miss Current said silica gels and
other substances, developed during
the war to keep the contents of pack
ing cases dry, are now for sale in re
tail stores.
The advantages of the new products
over calcium chloride, which has been
used for many years against damp
ness, are that they do not become
liquid and drip as they take in mois
ture, and they can be dried out and
used again, Miss Current said. When
they have taken up all the moisture
they can absorb, they change color,
as an indication that they need" to be
dried out or replenished.
Pound for pound, they probably do
not take up quite as much moisture
as calcium chloride does, but they are
far more convenient and easy to use.
They do not need to be placed over
containers that will hold liquid andJ
not corrode, as calcium chloride does.
Instead they may be used anywhere,
in or out of a container. They may
be strewn on closet floors or shelves
or enclosed in trunks, bureau drawers
or clothes bags.
Ihe label on the package gives di
rections as to the quantity and meth
od of use.
Production Of Hogs
Offers Good Profits
North Carolina farmers seekbio-' an
additional source of income miWit
well consider hog production, believes
Moyle S. Williams, farm management
specialist at State College, who says
the price outlook is very favorahle
and the prospect, for increased feed
supplies are very strong.
Mr. Williams said that according to
the Bureau of Agricultural Econo
mics, the 1948 spring pig crop totaled
about 61 million head, 8 per cent less
than in 1947 and the smallest since
1941. Prospects indicate a smaller
1948 fall pig crop.
The farm management specialist
said hog prices have been low as com
pared with cattle prices.. But it an!
pears likely, he- continued, that hog
prices will advance relative to cattle
in the next few months, as cattle
slaughter increases and hog slaughter
declines seasonally. '
Pointing out that corn yields in
North Carolina have jumped consider
ably in the past five years, Mr. Wil
liams said one of the most profitable
ways to market that corn is throuerh
hogs, provided the hogs are raised
efficiently. Many Tar Heel hog pro
ducers, he stated, have -failed to rea
lize the profits they should because of
the small number of pigs saved per
litter. The goal should be, an average
of at least eight pigs saved per litter.
Mr. Williams said this goal may be
achieved through the use of good
sows, good care, proper houses, good
pasture and balanced feed.. By fol-
