778 Physical Defects In Children Are Eliminated by County in 2,154 Cases Dr. Sutherland Stresses Importance of Healthy Children as Means of Preventing Tax-Supported Dependents of Future; Quarantines 2,263 cases of communicable disease By DR. K. H. SUTHERLAND County Health Officer Strong, healthy children are a community's greatest asset. We hear a great deal these days about ways and means of salvaging the existing economic situation, about finding some means of stimulating trade and steadying and increasing the value of our material assets, but, strange to say, we do not hear so much talk about protecting the most valuable asset to our civilization, the child of today. Malnourished, diseased and handicapped children of today will help to ewell the total of county tax-supported dependents of the future. In these times of economic difficulty, private or public money spent on cure of disease that could have been prevented means just that much less available for food and housing necessities. A policy that stints too much on funds necessary for health preservation now brings disaster in the years to come, if not in the immediate future. In spite of the difficult economic situation, Orange county has so far been able to maintain a fairly satisfactory health record, and we hope that this achievement can be continued in so far as the preventable diseases are concerned. Since the first of the year, the county health department has prevented the further spread of communicable diseases by isolating or quarantining 2,263 cases of communicable disease, mostly among children. It has made 10,331 home visits on cases, contacts and suspects in the control of contagion, taking 1,107 nose and throat cultures for examination in the laboratory. In addition, it has made 2,279 home calls on cases, suspects and contracts of tuberculosis. It has immunized 1,784 children against diphtheria, vaccinated 811 against small pox and given 212 skin tests for the presence of tuberculosis. Walnuts Needing Irrigation Now Farm Advisor Says Trees Will Absorb Greater Share of Water in Two Months With the arrival of the hot weather of the summer the rate of use of water by all types of trees increases tremendously. This is particularly important in the case of walnuts, according to Harold E. Wahlberg, farm advisor. Orange county. Experiments by the University of California have disclosed that over half of the water used by walnut trees during the two months of July and August. This, of course, is due to the fact that the foliage has by that time reached its maximum development, and also because those two months are the hottest and driest of the entire season. The importance of having adequate moisture in the soil of our orchards during this two-month period goes without question. If there is a shortage during the early part of this period, there undoubtedly will result a con- prevented the further spread of communicable diseases by isolating or quarantining 2,263 cases of communicable disease, mostly among children. It has made 10,331 home visits on cases, contacts and suspects in the control of contagion, taking 1,107 nose and throat cultures for examination in the laboratory. In addition, it has made 2,279 home calls on cases, suspects and contracts of tuberculosis. It has immunized 1,784 children against diphtheria, vaccinated 811 against small pox and given 212 skin tests for the presence of tuberculosis. It has conducted 261 child health centers for children of preschool age, where 4,294 children have received a physical examination and their mothers have been given professional advice to help keep the children healthy and free from serious illness. Two thousand one hundred fifty-four (2,154) physical defects were found among 568 of these children and of these defects 778 are known to have been corrected. In addition to this clinic service, 1,609 home visits have been made in the interests of child hygiene. All this work noted above is in addition to the routine school health work and community sanitation procedures which, of course, also have a direct beneficial bearing upon the health of the child. This type of child welfare work, which is always valuable, has an especial importance as an economy measure at this time. It helps to lighten the heavy load being carried by the county clinic and hospital and, in addition, by preventing illness in his family, it gives the wage earner a better chance to carry his own financial burden without having to appeal to county and private charity for help. "Did you hear that Balboa is earning $20 a night playing his fiddle? Just think—$5 a string." "He ought to learn to play the harp." Experiments by the University of California have disclosed that over half of the water used by walnut trees during the two months of July and August. This, of course, is due to the fact that the foliage has by that time reached its maximum development, and also because those two months are the hottest and driest of the entire season. The importance of having adequate moisture in the soil of our orchards during this two-month period goes without question. If there is a shortage during the early part of this period, there undoubtedly will result a considerable increase in the percentage of blows and shrivels at harvest time. A shortage during the latter part of the period will result in shrivels and difficult harvesting. Data on this fast has always been developed by the irrigation investigations carried on by the University of California and has as well been the common experience of growers and packing house managers who have watched moisture conditions in orchards. The farm advisor recommends that growers not allow soil moisture reserves to become low during these two curcial months of July and August. Everything must be done this year to improve and assure satisfactory quality of nuts. It is a well known fact that in periods when the sale of the commodity is difficult the portion of the crop which sells most readily is that which has the highest quality. Use the soil auger or soil tube consistently and regularly, watching moisture and timing the irrigations accordingly to keep an ample reserve in the soil during these months.

Brown Patch In Lawns Explain Treatment To Rid Grass Fungus Disease is Given One of the most troublesome cases of lawns is brown path, a fungicide which makes its appearance the summer, according to Harold Wahberg, farm advisor, represent the University of California in Orland county. The application of one ounce of chloride of mercury (corrosive substance) to each 1000 square feet of lawn is recommended by the farm advices. By W. M. CORY, Assistant Farm Advisor Measuring sticks are common tools of the surveyor and architect but little thought of as having any connection with the operation of a dairy. The expression is here used figuratively, as in the monthly report of the cow tester there is to be had a measure of each producing animal's return for her keep. Without such a measure even the best of judges are oftentimes badly fooled. While the herd may as a whole be returning the owner a profit or loss, as the case may be, the producing unit is the individual cow. She is either returning a profit or loss to her owner. If there are enough good producers a profit is had over fixed expenses such as feed, labor, interest and depreciation. If the reverse is true, the poor producers eat up what profit there may be from the good producers. Since income is on a per cow basis, likewise are expenses, as each animal represents a certain investment. It requires a definite amount of labor to milk and feed her. She requires a certain investment in buildings, fences and equipment on which depreciation takes place. Likewise she eventually must be replaced. Then if the dairyman is to produce in competition with his fellow dairymen and supply the quality of milk that the public is entitled to, there can be no place for the inefficient cow in the present dairy. That Orange county dairymen have been leaders in culling the boarder is evident from the June report of the Cowtesting association. Sixteen herds were tested, having a total of 1,045 cows, averaging 1,038 pounds of milk and 41.1 pounds of butterfat, which is 4.9 pounds of butterfat higher per cow than for June, 1931. The average test was 3.96 percent, and 28 cows were culled out. In the cow competition classes, Virgil Pierce was first in herds under 36 cows, with an average of 45 pounds of butterfat. Peter DeBoer came second with an average of 43.5 pounds. In herds of 35 to 65 cows, Delos Peterson came first with an average of 44.9 pounds and Ned Clinton second with a 33.9 pound average. Herds having over 65 cows, Otto Folkerets came first with a 45.9 pound average and the Aliso Dairy second with 43.4 pounds. The Aliso dairy had high cows. No. 153, with 2,430 pounds of milk and 104.4 pounds of butterfat. Raitt's guaranteed dairy came second with No. 5730 producing 1,695 pounds of milk and 101.7 pounds of butterfat. In the class of five high cows, Aliso Dairy came first with an average of 2,150 pounds of milk and 86.4 pounds of butterfat. A. F. Walker came second with an average of 1,804 pounds of milk and 78.7 pounds of butterfat. W. M. Burke Facing 3-Month Suspension Legal practice of Attorney W. Maxwell Burke, brother of Santa Ana Publisher J. Frank Burke, will be suspended three months if the recommendation of the board of governors of the state bar is finally approved by the state supreme court. Burke has an opportunity to appeal to this body. The Santa Ana lawyer was judged guilty of unethical conduct by Hon. Eugene Daney of San Diego who presided over a hearing several months ago. Judge Daney's decision was approved last week by the board of governors. Goodwill Recalls Noted Twain Story In answer to scores of queries from friends of the Goodwill store who failed to see inclusion of the local unit in the Orange county division publication during the last two months, Manager William Whealy this week announced that "the local goodwill is here and very much alive." "I don't know why the name of the local store was left out of the list, but probably it was because of the shift from Los Angeles to Santa Ana of headquarters for this division. We'll do our best to have the error corrected soon, but in the meantime we want our friends to know that we will exist."

On May 16, 1931, at Philadelphia, that great athlete, Ben Eastman of Leland Stanford Junior University, ran the same distance in 46.4 seconds. That time was to have been submitted by the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States to the International Federation governing track and field athletics, for adoption as a world’s record. The original time for the distance made by a college athlete back in 1876 was 56 seconds. In 1916 J. E. Meredith of the University of Pennsylvania ran the distance in 47 2-5 seconds. Ellsworth Vines, Jr., not yet 21, climbed to the pinnacle of tennis greatness in defeating H. W. (Bunny) Austin to win the British singles championship. By winning the championship on his first attempt, Vines becomes the third in all the long history of Wimbledon to accomplish that feat. Gerald Patterson of Australia did it in 1919, and Big Bill Tilden in 1920. Vines will defend his title as American singles champion at Forest Hills in September.
