THE CONTAGIOUSNESS OF INFANTILE PARALYSIS A correspondent, asks what is the period of contagion in infantile par­ alysis or how soon it would be safe for a youngster of six to be permit­ ted to come in contact with other children after an attack of polio. He also asks if schools should be closed in the face' of an epidemic. Although winter is not the season for infantile paralysis the question is timely for it is always well to be fore­ armed. The period of contagion of epidemic infantile paralysis, otherwise known as anterior poliomeylitis or “polio” is not defeinitely known. The Journal of the American Medical Association says that there is considerable evi­ dence that this disease is not contag­ ious after paralysis has appeared. This view seems to be confirmed by the fact that it is rare among the per­ sonnel of hospital staffs (nurses and 1 attendants) and by its rarity as sec- ] ondary cases in families. But there ] was a severe epidemic in a Los An­ geles Hospital in 1934 and secondary | cases do occur in families so one can- * not always be sure that similar out­ breaks will not recur. The contagion is generally believed to be spread by means of the nose and throat secretions but the virus of the disease has been found in the intestin­ al tract of convalescents from polio. Health Departments usually insist on an isolation period for patients of three weeks following the onset of the disease. This is ’a safe rule to follow. The effectiveness of closing schools and preventing the congrega­ tion of children in order to control epidemic of polio is doubtful. an DELAY PRUNING AS LONG AS POSSIBLE Because of the danger of a severe winter freeze, it is advisable to delay the pruning of bearing fruit trees as long as possible, states W. H. Upshall of the Horticultural Experiment Sta­ tion, Vineland, Ontario, in his bulletin on “Pruning The Tree Fruits.” A regular annual pruning is preferr­ ed to a heavy pruning every three or cond crop may arise next year from the same point. four years. A heavy p run ing upsets the balance of the tree as is i ldicat- ed by an abnor mal grov’th of s ickers.

Canadian Pacific Many fruit growers begin to worry too soon about their trees getting too high, and commence quite early to re­ duce height. This often results in a strong growth at the top of the tree, causing execessive shading of the lower areas, weakening the growth there and eventually resulting in dead branches. Trees should not be headed back® until they are too high for profitable management. It is an easy matter to reduce the height by cutting to a sturdy outward growing limb. This height reduction process should be spread over two or three years so that the balance between growth and fruit­ ing may not be upset.
