APPENDICITIS IN CHILDREN
Appendicitis, or .inflamation of the
appendix, is a comparatively common
disease. It is not generally known
thatappendicitis is a serious and not
infrequently fatal condition, tior is it
tunderstood that the disease may and
',does occur among children.
Evidence of both these statements
is shown, by the fact that 1300 or
more deaths occur each year in Can
-ada from this disease, and of this
-number, over one-third were those of.
'children under fifteen years of age.
There are certain diseases, such as
?typhoid fever, which may be prevent-
ed by sanitary measures taken to
safeguard water, milk and food sup -
'plies. Other diseases, such as small -
.pox,' and diptheria, are prevented by
'raising the individual's resistence to
the disease by means of vaccination
and immunization.
In certain diseases, of which ap-
„pendicitis is a striking .example, ser-
ious and fatal results can only be pre-
vented by securing the right treat-
ment and applying it early.
Proper early treatment has a great
deal to offer, but it is, of course,
•without value unless it is applied. The
-physician cannot help those who do
snot come to him for his advice.
Unfortunately, the price of delay is
frequently death. Delay in securing
treatment, which allows the condition
to progress until the appendix rup-
tures, very often means the death of
a child despite all efforts made later
to save him.
When appendicitis occurs, there is
• pain and usually nausea and vomit-
ing. Older children describe the pain
as cramp-like, and generally they feel
it in the centre of the abdomen. The
younger children cry as if in pain,
and they seem not to feel the discom-
fort in any particular spot or part
of the abdomen.
Unfortunately many parents and
others who are responsible for the
care of children believethat there is
one right and proper way to treat
a pain in the stomach, and that is
by giving a dose of castor oil or
some other purgative. When a part
is inflamed, nature puts that part at
rest. The purgative sets the digest-
ive tract in motion just at a tune
-when it should be at rest. A pain in
the abdomen should not be treated
with purgatives,
To the parents, it may seem that
we are exaggerating the possible
dangers of pain in the abdomen. Cer-
tainly every stomach-ache is not ap
Ipendicitis. However, unless abdomin-
al pain is always regarded as being
serious, cases of appendicitis will go
untreated and we, in Canada, will con-
tinue to record each year, among
children, about five hundred deaths
from appendicitis, practically all of
which may,betraced to pracrastina-
tion
and the use of purgatives in the
presence of abdominal pain.
Questions concerning Health, ad-
dressed to the Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 184 College St., Toronto,
will be answered personally by letter.
News and Information •
For the Busy Farmer
(Furnished by the Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
Partners in sandy districts are now
engaged in plowing. Frost left the
ground early this spring owing to
the aridity of the soil. In many sec-
tions it is now in good condition for
working and early seeding of oats
and barley is expected as a result.
Ontario's Celery Market
Capture for Ontario growers of the
celery market in this province which
for years the United States has been
supplying, is the aim behind negotia-
tions conducted by the Department
with growers of the Thedford dis-
trict. The suggestion has been made
that a cold storage plant be estab-
lished at Thedford. Celery requires
a special system of refrigeration and
cooling which is not available at pre-
sent and which would raise the stan-
dard of the product to enable it to
compete on the open market. Inves-
tigation is proceeding in regard to
the possibilties in this direction,
Cow -Testing in Peel
Interest in cow -testing work in
Peel County is keen. Results for
1930 of the Peel County Cow Testing
Association were presented at a re-
cent meeting. The twenty best cows
averaged 12,557 pounds of milk and
445 pounds of butterfat, whereas the
twenty poorest cows only averaged
5,267 pounds of milk and 210 pounds
of butterfat. It is felt that the cull-
ing of low producers would allevi-
ate the surplus milk problem in. To-
ronto. Over 100 cows were entered
during February in the cow -testing
work, which brings the total number
being tested monthly for milk and
butterfat production to nearly 900
cows at Brampton.

British Market For Barley
Steps to secure markets for Ont-
ario barley in Britain are being tak-
en by Hon. T, L. Kennedy in eon -
junction with federal authorities. Re-
cent investigations have shown that
British brewers and naalters annually
y
purchase about 21. million bushels of
barley from California, This barley
is ,especially suited for snaking beer.
A variety of ,bright, hard, six rowed
barley, developed at the 0, A. C., is
now being grown here and is equally
as good. Ontario farmers could pro-
duce 100 million bushels of this bar-
ley every year if there was a market
for it. California .barley has been
bringing 76 cents•a bushel on the En-
glish grain exchanges, while cost of
shipping is 15.40 cents a bushel. On-
tario could ship at about the same
cost. California farmers have been
receiving 53.6 cents for their barley
at San Francisco, while Ontario far-
mers receive less than 40 cents. Bri-
tish brewing interests are reported to
be willing to give the Ontario pro-
duct a trial, but want to be assured
of a sufficiently steady supply to
meet their needs.
Buy Quality Seed
"As never before in the history of
farming should care be exercised in
the purchase of seeds for planting
this spring," is the advice of one
well-known authority, who adds that
it is doubly important to make sure
that purchases have been government
tested as a result of'last year's drou-
ght and the reduced supply of high
quality stock. He warns against buy-
ing bargain seeds where price alone
is the only description given, because
reliable seedsmen do not approve of
advertisements where seeds ; are of-
fered at stipulated prices, without any
indication as to their quality or ori-
gin. It would actually be cheaper to
buy the best the market affords than
to take the poorest as a gift, he con-
cludes.
Potato and Seed Show
The Potato and Seed Show held
at Shelburne recently proved a very
successful and instructive event. The
classes were filled with good quality
products, with Dooley Potatoes and
Alaska Oats an outstanding feature.
A program of lectures wasgiven, the
speakers including Prof. W. J. Squir-
rel of O.A.C. and Mr. J. A, Carroll,
director of the Department's Crops
and Markets Branch. The letter 'em-
phasized the success of grading of
farm products in Canada. The qual-
ity of eggs, potatoes and hogs had
undoubtedly been improved. Canad-
ians were now eating 30 dozens of.
eggs per capita, while England' eats
only 11 dozen per capita.
Barley vs. Corn
Recent declines in the prices of
farm products have been far more
serious in grains than in live stock
and this decline has `been .greater pro-
portionately in barley than in wheat.
This situation presents an opportan-
ity to farmers, feeders and poultry-
men who have been accustomed to
depend upon imported corn. Barley
for general feeding purposes is equal
to corn in value.
In spite of this fact, there was im-
ported into Canada during three
months last fall 8,250,000 bushels of
corn while there was available in
storage elevators 30,000,000 bushels
of high-quality Canadian barley sell-
ing at less than half the price of the

imported feed.
Scores of .experiments in Canada
have demonstrated the value of bar-
ley as a carbohydrate feed,
Barley is particularly suitable for
producing an excellent quaiity of ba-
con a-
eon andmayfor the bulk of the
ration for hogs. In addition, it can
be profitably fedto dairy !cattle, beef
cattle and poultry.
It is pointed out by an authority
that the extensive use of barley ,for
feeding purposes will not only im-
prove the economic position of the
Dominion but will also result in low-
ered production costs to farmer and
poultryman;
W. A. Ross of the Vineland Sta-
tion recommends that if the present
spell of fine weather continues, .oil
spraying should be commenced in
pear orchards immediately or at least
as soon as it is possible to get on
the land with a spray machine. No
oil spraying should be done' if the.
temperature is near, at or below the
freezing point.
Fertilizer on Tomatoes
Five field tests with tomatoes were
conducted last summer by the De-
partment of Chemistry, 0.A.C., in
various localities, zriedium to light
loam soils being chosen. Good pre-
paration was given to the soil and
an average application of 750 lbs. of
fertilizer was made at the time the
healthy, vigorous stock was set out
in the spring.
The five tests showed an average
yield of 174.2 bushels per acre where
750 lbs, of fertilizer was applied. The
unfertilized section averaged 54.9 bu-
shels per acre, giving a gross gain
from fertilizing of 119.3, bushels. The
cash cost of the fertilizer was. $39
per ton, hence an application of 750
lbs. represents an investment of $14.-
60. Valuing the increase in tomato
yield at 50c per bushel, the gross re-
turn was $59.60. Investment in fer-
tilizers was $14.60, hence the net re

To Encourage Use of Lime'
In order to encourage the greater
use of litne in agriculture in Ontario,
particularly in those sections where
a soil corrective is required to ,stim-
ulate more economical production of
farm crops, Hong Thomas L. Ken-
nedy,
nedy, Minister of Agriculture, 'an-
nounces a policy of assistance in, the
matter of reduced freight rates on
agricultural limestone,
The C, N. R, and C, P, R. Compa-
nies have agreed to reduce the pre-
sent tariff on pulverized limestone to
be used by farmers to the amount of
25 per cent, and, the Provincial and
Federal Departments of Agriculture
in co-operation will grant further, sub-
wentions of one-half the remaining
freight rate with ;a maximum of $1.00
per ton.: On limestone screenings
that now enjoy special freight rates
the two governments will grant sub-
ventions amounting to one-half the
freight rate with a maximum of $1.00.
per ton.
In orderto take advantage of this
assistance purchasers must order at
least a minimum carload of thirty
tons. Where this minimum amount is
more than is required by individual
farmers they will be encouraged to
group their orders in order to take
advantage of the tariff reductions.
This undertaking is under the dir-
ection of. the Crops Co-operation and
Markets Branch, Ontario Department
of Agriculture, Toronto. Inquiries for
further information may be addressed
to that department or to your local
agricultural representative,
Olive Salad
Cut head lettuce in slices on indi-
vidual plates. Slice green onions on
the lettuce. If they are not available,
use finely chopped cooking onions.
Slice a pimento stuffed olive on each
salad.
