you may need a second application.
YeUew Spots la Cora: Every one is
concerned with the general paleness
and slow growth of some corn fields
around tiie county. I have looked at
several fields and feel that the nitro

A good root soaking rain will cure
much of this yellow corn.

in basic English attire and tack. The
hunter horse and rider are judged on
form at a walk, trot and canter on the
flat. Hunter horses are also required
to execute jumps.

Duke physician suggests
Checking off heart disease
| DURHAM, NC? Almost five mil
lion people each year have its symp
toms. Nearly one million people die
of it, but it 'j a disease doctors cannot
prevent.
Heart disease is the nation's num
ber one killer, and, said Dr. Pamela
Morris, medical director of Duke
University Preventative Approach to
/Cardiology, people must rescue their
own hearts.
The average American is at risk,
Morris said. "Our lifestyle is one of
the worst for causing heart disease.
Also, she added, North Carolina has
one of the highest death rates due to
heart disease in the United States.
"Vfe don't have hard evidence as to
why that is, but it makes lifestyle
changes even more important for
? those of us who live' here." Since ev
eryone must be responsible for their
own fight against heart disease, Mor
ris suggests a checklist that might
/flag devloping problems:
Age is the first of the unmodifiable
risk factors for heart disease. The
majority of heart attacks occur in
' men, ages 55 to 64 and women, ages
*5 to 74.
Genetics, the other unmodifiable
factor, plays a strong role in heart
Asease. If three or more of your rela
? ties suffered heart attacks or strokes
before age 55, your chances are
greatly increased.
High Mood pressure is one of the
most important indicators of possible
heart disease. "Everyone should
know their blood pressure and keep a
record of it You should not just let a
doctor tell you that your pressure is
"normal," Morris said.
Sgwking is responsible of one-third
of all heart disease and is as danger
ous to the heart as to the lungs, Any
cigarette use is dangerous. The good
news about smoking is that five years
. after you stop you're back to the risk
level of a non-smoker, Morris said.
Every American should know his
lipid profile, which includes choleste
rol and triglyceride level, Morris
said. A cholesterol level of more than
250 milligrams and a triglyceride
level of 250 milligrams puts you in the
high risk range. Duke and American
Heart Association physicians do not
recommend fishoil tablets as a way
of combating high cholesterol. How
ever, increasing the amount of fish in
your diet is definitely helpful, Morris.
Average Americans carry a few
extra pounds, and that puts them at
risk, Morris said. Even 10 pounds
more than ideal weight could help
cause a heart attack, especially if
other risk factors are present.
Exercise is the best medicine, Mor
ris said. "I cannot say enough good
things about exercise; it fights
stress, depression, weight gain and
even aids with the cholesterol prob
lem. Really, all you need is a brisk 30
minute walk every other day." If you
never exercise, rank yourself high on
the heart disease risk list.
The final item on the checklist is
the office companion of many Ameri
cans?stress. If you feel hurried and
tense most of the time, your heart
disease risk factor is high in this cat
egory.
If you fall into the Ugh risk area of
two or more items, you may be court
ing a heart attack, Morris said. Most
people think that they have only a
slight problem in a few anas. But be
ing only slightly overweight, smok
ing Just a few cigarettes daily and
getting just a little too much choleste
rol can put a person at a very high
risk level, Morris said. She added
that if you do not know where you
stand in any at the categories, espe
cially blood pressure and lipid pro
file, you are definitely running a risk.
