ST. LOUIS PHYSICIAN
CLAIMS HE HAS FOUND
CURE FOR ARTHRITIS
Chicago Doctor Says Discovery Os
Cancer Cure Would Be
Big News
Successful treatment of arthritis
by administering externally
with an electric current was report
ed in St. Louis, Saturday by a uni
versity physician.
Dr. A. J. Katkis, director of
physical therapy, said the process
had been used experimentally in
the laboratory on dogs and rabbits
and had proved successful in the
university clinic in treating arth
ritis, rheumatism, and other ail
ments resulting from strictures of
blood vessels and nerve fibers.
The scientist said use of the elec
'-•tlic current enabled physicians to
feed a steady stream of medicine to
the patient.
Shortly after this announcement,
Dr. Morris Fishbein, Chicago doc
tor, answered the question what
would be the number one story of
the year by saying it would be the
announcement of the cause and
cure of cancer.
After answering the question, Dr.
Fishbein recalled, to the delight of
visiting reporters, the “hot water
girl of Escanaba.” She astounded
the world in 1923 with a fever
ranging from 114 to 118. It contin
ued for 20 days. Then Dr. Fishbein
went up and plied a hot water
bottle out of her bed.
“Other fellows shoot ducks,” he
said. “I shoot quacks.”

FARM AND GARDEN
Dry Storage Keeps Seed
Corn Fertile
Seed com should be stored in a
dry, well ventilated place over the
winter if it is to produce a good
yield of high quality com the fol
lowing season.
Carelessly stored seed may so
deteriorate during the winter that
it cannot produce a good stand of
com, warns P. H. ( Kime, plant
breeding agronomist at State Col
lege.
The ears of seed com should not
be thrown together in a pile, he
added, but should be stored in such
a manner that the air can circulate
freely about each ear.
Given a chance to dry out thor
oughly before cold weather, the
seed will be able to withstand
heavy freezes without injury.
Kime pointed out that a satisfac
tory hanger can be made with wov
en wire and a counple two-by-four
upright. The meshes of the wire'
should be just large enough to per
mit the ears to pass through easily.
The uprights should be erected a
convenient distance apart, with the
broad edges set at right angles to a
line drawn between the two posts.
Place a length of the woven wire
on each side of the uprights in such
a manner that the complete rack
resembles a double woven wire
fence, with the meshes opposite
and four inches apart.
The ears of seed com can then be
stuck through the meshes of both
wires, where they will remain until
ready for sowing.
Sometimes it is advisable to warm
the storage room at first to facili
tate the cring process, Kime stated,
but be careful not to raise the tem
perature above that of a comfort
able living room, as too much heat
will impair the germination power
of the seed.
Timely Farm Questions Answered
At State College
Question: How much butterfat
should each cow in a farm dairy
herd produce?
Answer: A herd that averages
less than 250 pounds of fat will
make little, if any, profit. A 300-
pound average should be the goal
of every herd owner and this pro
duction can be had by the use of
good, high production bred bulls
and the raising of all heifer calves
from the best cows. This produc
tion, however, will not be profitable
unless all, or a greater part of the
feed, is produced on the farm. Two
tons of good legume hay and two
acres of pasture should be provided
for a year’s feding for each cow in
the herd in addition to the neces
sary grains.
Question: What causes double
yolked eggs and does the delivery
of these eggs have any effect upon
the birds?
Answer: Double-yolked eggs are
caused by speeded ovalution and is
quite common during early produc
tion and during the season of high
production. The two yolks ripen
about the same time and are de
livered into the ovarian pocket and
are then incorporated into one egg.
Apparently there is no injury to the
birds delivering such eggs and the
formation will cease when produc
tion drops off.
Question: What foods should be
given the child for a school lunch?
Answer: A well planned school
lunch should be easily digestible
and should also contain adequate
amounts of food to maintain body
requirements; Sandwiches of meat,
cheese, egg, fish, peanut butter or
just bread and butter should be in
cluded together with a succulent
food such as a salad, raw or -cooked
vegetbles, or pickled fruit or vege
table. Milk, either plain or in the
form of milk soup, cocoa or custard,
or some fruit or fruit juice are
necessary. Suggested menus for
school lunches are contained in
Miscellaneous Pamphlet No. 17 and
copies will be sent fre upon appli
cation to the Agricultural Editor,
State College. •
Question: Is it all right to use a
young rooster for breeding that was
hatched and raised at home?
Answer: Ts you plan to use the
rooster with the farm flock it would
be best to change. In using this
rooster you wiuld be sure to do in
breeding an dthis is a bad practice
and will result in the offsprings
that are low in vitality and still
lower in egg producing qualities.
The safest plan would be to get a
good vigorous male from some oth
er flock. Be sure, however, that the
new male is healthy and comes
from good blood lines.
Question: How long should a hog
be off feed before killing?
Answer: Hogs should not be fed
at all for at least 24 hours before
they are killed, but should have
plenty of fresh water. In this way
the animal gets rid of the contents
of the stomach and intestines and
insures a good bleed when the ani
mal is slaughtered. The meat will
also cure better when the small
blood vessels are free from food
products and blood. The animal
should never be excited or over
heated before killing as this pro
duces a feverish condition which
prevents proper bleeding and
causes the meat to sour while in
cure.
Question: When should land be
prepared for planting early garden
crops?
Answer: Where the lands has a
clay subsoil it should be plowed in
the fall for best results. The freez
ing and thawing during the winter
months with pulverize and mellow
the- soil. Fall plowing will also aid
in the destruction of insect pests
and plant diseases. On heavy soils,
or soils that are not well drained,
beds should be thrown up at the
fall plowing. By breaking up the
land in the fall, earlier plantings
can be made of the hardy or semi
hardy crops and the soil will be in
better shape for late plantings.
Avoid Wrong Way Os
Killing Hogs
The farmer who uses haphazard
methods and trusts to luck at hog
killing time runs a big risk of los
ing his meat.
The rgiht way to kill hogs is just
as easy as the wrong way, suggests
R. E. Nance, professor of animal
husbandry at State College, and
with proper curing, it virtually as
sures successful preservation of the

meat.
Many of the methods employed
in “Dad’s time” were responsible
for the heavy losses usually experi
enced. Nance pointed out some of
the worst faults, as follows:
Hogs weer usually killed on the
coldest day of mid-winter, under
the impression that the extreme
cold helped preserve the meat. Bit
ter cold weather made the task dif
ficult, and it was rushed through in
too big a hurry.
A temperature of 28 to 40 degrees
is preferable. The carcasses should
be allowed to hang up overnight in
the smokehouse so as to let all the
animal heat dissipate before the
curing is started.
The custom of shooting hogs or
knocking them in the head was
prevalent. Then the hogs were
dragged to a vat of water that was
either too hot or too cold.
The bodies were bruised, the car
casses did not bleed properly, and
the hair did not scrape off as it
should. Stick the hogs, Nance said,
allow them to bleed thoroughly,
and scald them in water heated to
150 degrees, no more no less.
Do not feed the hogs within s 4
hours of killing time. Doing so
wastes feed and makes the car
cases harder to dress. Do not cut up
the carcasses until the next day, he
advised.
WOMEN ON N. C.
JURY FIRST TIME
RUTHERFORDTON, Nov. 15.
For what was said to be the first
time in North Carolina history, two
women sat on a Rutherford county
superior court jury this morning to
hear a divorce case.
They were Mrs. C. S. Royster and
Mrs. C. O. Ridings.
Court attaches pointed out that
PAGE THREE
the State laws did not set up any
machinery providing for the sum
moning of women for jury service,
but cited a clause in the State Con
stitution that “No person shall be
convicted of any crime but by the
unanimous verdict of a jury of good
and lawful men in open court.”
Judge W. F. Harding, presiding,
said it was the first time, so far as
he knew, that women had served
on a North Carolina jury.
