SNew Hope Is Expressed
For Progress in Fight
Against Poliomyelitis
New hope for progress in the
fight against infantile paralysis
was expressed today by Mr. W.
Graham Lynch, local chapter
chairman of the National Foun
dation for Infantile Paralysis, in
revealing plans for the First In
ternational Poliomyelitis Confer
ence in New York this summer.
Mr. Lynch said preliminary
announcement bulletins and in
vitations were being sent to lo
cal physicians and other quali
fied scientific and professional
, persons who may wish to hear
‘leading authorities from all
parts of the world pool their in
formation on infantile paralysis.
The conference is being spon
sored by the National Founda
tion as part of its search for a
cure, preventive and more ad
vanced treatment method of in
fantile paralysis, the local chair
man said. It will be held in the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New
York City July 12 to 17.
Mr. Lynch said National Foun
dation headquarters had inform
ed him that official government
representatives from more than
60 nations had been invited to
present summaries of poliomy
elitis problems in their coun
tries. In addition, he added,
more than 200 other medical
authorities will participate in
the program.
Asserting it was the local
chapter’s hope that many qual
ified professionals from this
, area would attend the confer
ence, Mr. Lynch said the ses
sion would serve as a means of
collecting and distributing vital
knowledge on a world - wide
basis.
“During the war years,” he
said, “this exchange of informa
tion was limited. So not only is
there a vast backlog of vital da
ta which must be evaluated, but
our medical authorities expect
that such a meeting will result
in more complete and expedi
tious advancements in the
future.”
Dr. Hart E. Van Riper, medi
cal director of the National
Foundation, has been named
general chairman of the confer
ence.
Legum Crops Build
Nitrogen In Soil
But Not When Cut
Raleigh — Legume crops are
splendid for building up nitrogen
supplies in the soil but, contrary
to an idea prevalent among
many farmers, they fail to ac
complish this purpose when har
vested for hay, according to Dr.
I. E. Miles, chief of the Soil
Testing Division of the State De
partment of Agriculture.
“Actually.” the soil chemist
added, “the nitrogen content of
the soil is depleted when legume
hay is harvested. Scientific
studies conducted in recent
years show that most of the ni
trogen stored in legume plants,
especially at the harvest stage
of growth, is found in the stem
structure, not in the roots. It
follows, therefore, that the crop
should be left to the land if it
is desired to build up the ni
trogen content of the soil”.
Dr. Miles also scotched a com
mon oenei mat me larger me
number and size of nodules on
the roots of legumes, the more
nitrogen they produce and store.
Research has shown, he ex
plained, that this is not neces
sarily true. The legume Sesban
ia, it was found, nodulates most
profusely and yet stores less ni
trogen than most legumes com
monly used for cover crops. The
number, size and shape of nod
ules appeared to have little or
no effect upon the amount of ni
trogen stored in the plants. It
was found, however, that the
percentage of nitrogen was
much higher in the nodules than
in other parts of the plants. But
the total weight of the nodules
in relation to the whole plant
was so small that they could be
disregarded. An average of all
the legumes studied indicated
that at the mature stage most
if the nitrogen was to be found
in that part of the plants above
the ground.
"These studies,” Dr. Miles
continued, “raise a very import
int practical question: Can le
gumes be grown and removed
tor hay without depleting the
soil of its nitrogen ’ Of course,
t must be recognized that me
soil is depleted of its calcium.
nagnesiL.n, phosphorus and pc
assium when the crop is re
noved. unless these minerals
ire added as fertilizers, lime
ind manures.
“The proportional part of the
otal nitrogen located in the
•oots varies greatly from one
egume to another. For instance,
lowpeas, crimson clover, hairy
/etch, Crotalaria spectabaiis,
ind Sebania had less than 10
percent of the total nitrogen lo
cated in the roots at the time
tvhen they would normally have
oeen cut for hay. On the other
iiand. Lespedeza sericea hau
aver 37 percent, kudzu over 30
percent. Lespedeza Tennessee
'6 and velvet beans over 20 per
•ent.
“This means that if the por
—1-i- -f-.f- -t.
tion of the plant above the
ground, the stem and leaves, ol
cowpeas, crimson clover, hairv
vetch, etc., is removed, more
than 90 percent of the total ni
trogen contained in the entire
plant is lost to the soil. There
fore, instead of building the soil
legumes actually deplete it pret
ty seriously when they are har
vested. Of the several legume,
studied. Lespedeza sericea anc
kudzu might be cut and ye
leave very considerable a
mounts of nitrogen stored ir
their roots under the surface oi
the ground.”
