WRIGHT, M.D. Certified by the American Board of Dermatology One out of every 50 persons In the U. S. has psoriasis, stak ing it one of our most com mon skin diseases. What causes this problem of scaling skin, which affects both sexes equally, is not fully un derstood. Many medical re searchers now believe it is re lated to a hereditary biochem ical defect in the epidermal cells. Recurrences stay be. trig gered by a change in climate, and by physical or emotional .stress. Other factors that have been found to influence the course of psoriasis include in jury to the skin, obesity, Over indulgence in alcohol, and se vere viral and bacterial infec tions of the respiratory tract Although there is no abso lute cure for this skin disease, there are treatments thal speed healing and clear up the condition for periods of time Sunlight relieves many cases, but is ineffective for others. A soothing bath oil added to bat! water helps to relieve itching Medications, such as lotion and shampoo, available at drugstores, which contaic tar and other Ingredients to help remove scales, are particu larly useful. The newer steroid creams and ointments, especially when covered by plastic wrappings kept on overnight, have ef fected dramatic,' temporary im provement in' many cases. However, they cannot be used continuously or too often be cause of inconvenience of ap plication, and undesirable side effects. Tot some patients, the < coal-tar based medication and steroids give similar results.' Even more recently, a group of drugs called anti-metabolites are being used for highly re sistant cases. However, they have to be used under strict medical supervision, and with caution. It should be reassuring for the person with psoriasis to know that much research is currently in progress on this condition. Hopefully, before long a cure will be possible. In the meantime, following the recommendations of your phy sician will help to control pso riasis effectively. and orange sets off this handsome den with a dtstto masculine flavor.

Bermudagrass problems can be reduced by spraying with dalapon before browning starts in the fall. This herbicide is tak en into the plant’s system and translocated in the rhizomes, which are killed. Usually, the last two weeks of October is about as late as sprays are ef fective. Also, disking and plowing trou ble spots during the winter will help kill some of the bermuda grass. “This exposes the rhi - zones to a freezing-drying effect and offers an excellent njeans of reducing the rhizome popula tion,” said Rogerson. Running a spike-tooth harrow over disked or plowed spots will pul more of the rhizomes out. They should be piled up and burned or otherwise removed from the field. Next spring after the grass starts growing and sending out shoots, another application of dalpon will give a good Mil. Next spring after the grass starts growing and sending out shoots, another application of dalapon wil give a good Mil. “It will pay to work especially hard on real trouble spots of bermudagrass. They can be im proved considerably by the com bination of spraying, disking plowing and harrowing,” Roger son pointed out. i He added that spraying dala pon after the grass begins brown ing in the fall or before leaves appear in the spring helps very little. This chemical is most ef fective when the grass is green and! actively growing. Similar treatments are suggested! for johnsongrass. It, too, spreads by rhizomes. s Rogerson said there was tittle need fpr concern about planting a crop following a spraying of dalapon in the spring if correct land preparation is followed and moisture levels are adequate. “Three days after spraying, pre pare the seedbed by deep plow ing and disking.” Corn and soybeans can be jpiabfted1 five days after land preparation. Cotton can ba plant ed immediately. One exception to, this suggestion — under very dry conditions — do not plant until five days aftefr at least one half inch rain. The nutgrass problem can al so be reduced by fall and winter disking and plowing. This expos es the nuts to freezing and dry help control in tell exactly what « -urf are and; where they are located. Putting them on some kind of farm map for re ference next spring will he help ful in planning a control pro gram," Rogerson said. With the advent of a host of chemical herbicides, controlling weeds in farm crops has become something akin to a doctor pre scribing medicine for illness. “If we know what spedee of weeds are in a field and where -they are located, we can usually prescribed1 a good weed control program,” Rogerson said, “but it is essential to know what plants we are dealing with and where they are located.” r County extension agents can provide farmers with detailed weed control information.
