McCultough, M.D., D.P.H. Secretary Cancer, Committee THE HEALTH LEAGUE OF CANADA • THE DOCTOR AND THE CANCER PATIENT The visit to the doctor ie a critic -al moment for the cancer patient. An early visit and a correct diagnosis is likely to save a life_ A late visit and a eorrest ,diagnostis• spells ' tragedy. Same of the types of cancer reaching the• doctor's office are: A lump in they breast or a hard unhealing sore of the tongue. The patient may have persistent pain in the stomach, in a long bone or bloatid from one of the orifices of the body. He may have a pigmented mole, white spots in. "the mouth or an unhealed sore on the lip, or finally, he may not have .a single sign of cancer, and yet cancer may exist. in him.

The case is cancer or it is not cancer. If cancer, delay is dans gerous. Some cancers of the tongue, breast and uterus1 reach an incurable stage in a few weeks. Consequently treatment cannot with safety be de- layed- Some. patients in apparent good health are found by the doctor . to have advanced cancer. As lung as the growth is well-nourished and does not interfere with any body function, it may give no sign of its existence. Progressive loss of strength, anaemid and loss of weight in persons of mid- dle life may be the only symptoms of internal cancer such as that of the stomach. Often such cases are treat- ed as pernicious anaemia. No age is immune from cancer. Cancer in chil- dren is frequently overlooked until bhe condition is obvious. These remarks must not be taken as reelecting on the ability of the doc- tor-. Some errors are due to lack of experience. Most are made not from lack of knowledge, but rather because of lack of complete examination. "Diagnosis of disease is difficult and judgment, fallacious according to as old an authority as Hippocrates•." The family doctor has the best op- portunity of seeing the cancer case in its earliest stage. He is the real outpost, the interpreter, the exponent and the chief (herald df disease pre- ventioa. Mindful of this fact, he should be on the' alert for the earl- iest manifestations of malignant dis- ease.

For tis most part they're hard-working fellows who don't swagger around with a crushed that on their head, and a smug smile of complacency on their countenances.

Poison Ivy Menace _ To Children, Adults There is an innocent looking weed rustling happily in the June breeze in anticipation of the thousands of children and adults it is going to in- fect this summer—unless tome per - 8011 makes it 'his or her, business to deal it a death -dealing blowprefer- ably by the ohemieal route. Poison Ivy is the bane of summer resorts and woodland stretches and now is the time for a real clean up. It is found along fence lines, waste places, in fact almost any place where there is no cultivation. A menace to health, it has been the cause of a great deal of suffering, hospital and doctors' bills and has ruined many a vacation. Visitors wbo have suffered from Poison Ivy at a summer resort are not likely to return the following year. How will you recognize Poison Ivy? Well, it is a low busby perennial. The leaves are smooth and firm to leath- ery, coarseetooth•er edges and always in groups of three, Leaves of the Virginia Creeper, for which the plant is sometimes mistaken, are in groups of five. Chemical weed killers are easily applied and destroy all foliage and root system of poison iry. Shallow rooted patches have been killed out- right with a single application of sodiufn chlorate, one pound to a gal - ion of water. Care must be used, however, as there is a fire hazard with sodium oblorate. Write the Crops, Semite and Weeds Branch, Ontario Department of Agri- culture, Parliament.

The 'Evening Tele- gram quoted an instance the other day, telling about a man. who sold a •Yarm, obtained two email payments for it, with no further payments of .principal -ear interest for years, and then los4t a lenge portion of the sale price when the new owner had an "arrangement" made for bima under the Act. The original owner offered to make a cash payment to the pres- ent owner to 1Wt hinn have the farm back, but that was not allowed, though it proved that the farm had not depreciated in value in the eyes of its original owner; nor could the Judge do anything about trying to find out what the present owner had done with his money, instead of pay- ing his debts. All that is "old stuff" to rural dwel- lers, but it mlay help when. the daily papers take up the case, as many weekly papers have been doing for a_ long time. We know of no Act that arouses so much opposition in rural Ontario. If 14 was only among city people, it migiht be ignored, but those most opposed are .,the farmers and the retired farmers. The farmers who do not take advantage of the Act hate it, because it has spoiled their credit. Someone (a farm lady) writ- ing to a Toronto paper, stated that it wasn't the Farmers' Creditors Ar- rangement Act, but low prices which spoiled the credit. Shie's far- astray there. When any firm, merchant, pro- fessional man or other' 'farmer loses large sums of money several times through extending credit ie. the past, he decides to give less credit to far- mers. in the future. We know farm - ere who can tell of hundreds of dol- lars lost because of selling stock" on ereddt at auction sales. To make it worse, same of those who are now seeking "arrangement's" seem to have been living thigh and enjoying a good time, and now their neighbors have to pay for it. But apparently those who are hard- est hit are the retired farmers or their widows. They sold their farms for a small cash payment and took a nser-tgage foe the balance, or used their money to buys a farm mortgage, or loaned it to• some former neigh- bor, and figured that they had enough to last them for the rest of their lives. if they were careful. When this in- iquitous piece of legislation came along and cut as much as, half off their small capital, it placed theta' in desperate positions. Anyone who in- vests in a farm mortgage in these days is considered rather ligbt-head- ed. Because the tardsthdps worked by this Act in Ontario have been greater in many cases than the results could ever warrant, there has been a steady demand that the Act be repealed so far as -this province is concerned•. A rather indefinite promise to repeal its provisions, so far as Ontario was con- cerned, was made in Parliament a month or two ago, but to date no ac- tion seems to have ,been taken. Some- thing should be done at once; it would be good 'politics to repeal it, for the F.C.A.A. has far more en- emies than friends in these parts. That is natural enough. Every "ar- rangement" benefits one family, but may injure a dozen or more. Standard Fertilizers The standard fertilizer usually re- commends for late potatoes, mangeis• and'mostY4'late hoe crops, is tore- form- ula 4-8-10 (four parts of nitrogen to eight of phosphoric acid and ten of potash). This fertilizer certainly in- creases the yields when properly us- ed on these craps. The rate of ap- plication for potatoes is from 800 to 1,500 pounds per acre according to the fertility of the land, and for man- ges from 600 to 800 pounds per acre, in addition to manure; 2-12-6 is gen- LAID UP FOR -'WEEKS BY SCIATICA aha At 76' Kruschen Conquered His Complaint At 86 years image, this man is still going strong, yet 10 yeas ago her. was laid up for weeks with an attack of sciatica.

Of course, there are special types of soil and some crops that may do better with fertilizers of different an- alyses than the above, but genera1t'y speaking the 4-8-10 and 2-12-6 are as dependable as any for the above crops. The Provincial fertilizer councils; leave ne into the detail of this, and every armer should have his copy of the recommendations so as to be able to buy and use fertilizers for best results. Copies of the recom- mendations may be obtained! from the Department. Cattle Exports Increase Canadian cattle exports to the United Kingdom for 1938, up to May 4th, amounted to 13,319 head. The number for the corresponding period: of 1937 was 1,476. Making Survey In June of each year the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, in co-operation with the :Provincial Department of Agriculture, distributes cardtoard schedules to farmers for the purpose, of collecting statistics of acreage un- der crop and the number of livestock and poultry on farms. 'Phis survey also covers the breeding and market- ing intentions in regard -to 'livestock. These schedules are 'distributed to the farmers through rural school teachers. It is hoped that farmers generally will give their cooperation in this matter since national agricul- tural pl'anning is dependent on hav- ing a correct knowledge of the num- bers of livestock on farms. A woman travellaslg by train was talking with the man in the next seat_ In describing her holiday, she said that she had visited San -Jose. "You pronounce that wrong," said t'he man. "It •is San Hosay. 'In Cali- fornea you should pronounce all J's as H's. When were you there?" The woman thought a minute, tarn answered: "In Hue and Hilly." "Are you sure 1 have pneumonia?" an anxious patient asked a physician. "I (have heard that doctors sometimes give wrong diagnoses, and have treat- ed patients fon- pmeumon4a Who after- wards died of typhoid fever." "You've been woefully misinform- ed," replied the medico indignantly - "If I treat a man For pneumonia, he dies of pneumonia." FARMERS AND RANCHERS Arthowiet PROSPERITY for the farmer and rancher contributes to the prosperity of all, so impor- tant and essential is the agri- cultural industry to Canada. Farmers and ranchers frequently need to borrow—for putting in crops, purchasing or prepar- ing livestock for sale, harvest- ing and other profitable A purposes. The Bank of Montreal, because of its wide connections with agricultural activities, is famil- iar with the credit needs of farmers and ranchers, and welcomes their applications 'for loans.
