FARM EXPERIENCE RESEARCH SPREAD rO FOREIGN LANDS Research and experience available in the University of Illinois College of Agriculture at Urbana will be spread to many foreign lands this spring tind summer. R. C. Ross, in charge of assignment of foreign visitors at the college, says that twenty-eight guests from foreign countries will visit various departments of the college during April. Thede men will come from England, Scotland, Ireland, North Ireland, Japan, Australia. Turkey, Sweden and France. Some of them are visiting in this country under the sponsorship of the Economic Cooperation administration, some are sent by their governments, and the Japanese are being sent by the supreme commander of the allied powers in that country. Five young farmers from Sweden and four from France will arrive in Illinois the middle of April for a three-months' stay on farms in this state. They are agricultural trainees and, will liv? and work on the farms.' They will then move on to another state, and an equal number of young farmers will come to Illinois for another three months' training. While at the college, the guests *i6it research projects and confer with staff members on ways of improving agricultural conditions in their own countries. 4 11IHH N*U If M»l •»* heAlih talks ^ V• Hl&akMnir Refrigerator Knataf A refrigerator should run only one-third of the time. If it runs more, the temperature may be set* too low, the freezing unit may need defrosting, or a gasket on the door may need replacing.

Thus pineapple juice and citrus blends, which have a tendency to separate if left standing, can be shaken up to regain a smooth consistency before pouring. 7^ lawed-Ont Meat OnceH^ozen meat is thawed, you should never re-freeze it.

It causes more than 6,000 deaths a year in the United States, according to a Health Talk issued by the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society. That means that leukemia kills five times as many persons as infantile paraly~ sis, almost as many as appendicitis and one and half times the combined total of measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough and diphtheria. 1 The cause of leukemia Is not known, although it appears that there are many contributing factors, such as exposure to aniline, coal tar, beiuol uad radioactive substances. • A human being ordinarily has about 7..100 white blood Cells In every cubic centimeter of blood. In leukemia the white blood cells increase rapidly and may reach figures of from 100,000 to 1.000,- 000.per cubic millimeter of blood. The increase causes the red coloring matter of the red blood cells, called hemoglobin,4to break dow^ | and produce severe affemia. Leukemia is frequently referred to as "cancer of the blood." Symptoms includo a' sudden fever, extieme prostration and & general weariness. There may be bleeding from the gums and nose, rapid heart beat and a-'decided pallor, In children, early symptoms include pain Jn the arms, legs and joints. The spleen, an organ involved in all activities re Ik ted to the 4 blood, enlarges in leukemia and the bone marrow shows changes, 7 Twenty-five years ago leukemia was considered rare. Perhaps the present increase is more relative than real because the reporting of deaths by specified causes has become more accurate In recent years. Physicians have also become better qualified to diagnose leukemia and are more alert tf> recoginze it. Improved laboratory technics for blood testing have helped discover cases. M*uch research is under way on the cause and treatment of leukemia. One new technic, involving injection in the blood of phosphorus which has been made radioactive. has been, in certain cases, helpful in reducing the total white blood cell count and in improving the condition of the bone marr&w. In many cases temporary -help is given through blood transfusions, x-ray irradiation of the spleen and certain arsenic preparations taken by mouth. Colchicine is used wHfc^ some hen.'fit ii: prolonging th,e life of the patient. X-rays, however, cannot always be Used, particularly in persons with acute leukemia. The disease is practically always fatal, and treatment at present does little more than stave off the end and keep the patient comfortable. Thus it is for conditions such as lukemia, the causes and treatment of which are not known, that research must continue. Among the groups sponsoring a splendid program of research through animal experimentation is the National Society for Medical Research, members of which are now carrying otf research in various medical schools and laboratories throughout country. " ^ WHEAT CROPAn 'Illinois winter wheat crop of 36,000,000 bushels is expected this season, according to the U. S. and state departments of agriculture. This indicated yieldv would be a third larger than last year's harvest, and well above the 1940- 49 average. Snow covering enabled the wheat to come through the winter in good condition despite unusually cold weather and sharp temperature changes. The late spring is hindering field work on Illinois farms, and retarding the growth of pastures. I Ground* >r Rent Increege There" are more than eleven grounds for rent Increases in the federal rent law but many landlords in McHenry county have not used them. Some of these grounds include increased occupancy in excess of normal occupancy, a substantial increase in the cost of operating and maintaining the housing accomodations, a substantial change by a major capital improvement, a substantial increase in the services, furniture, in the furnishings, or the equipment provided with tlie housing accommoda! ion a. Some landlords evidently still believe that rents are frozen at wartime levels. They have .not heard that higher rents are possible orf numerous grounds. Acting associate area rent director, DR.
