Actually.' any drug or treatment which a patient receives makes use of atoms, since all matter is composed of atoms. The unique characteristic of so-called atomic medicine is the presence of radiations in addition to the actual matter itsel?, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society points out in Health Talk. "Atomic medicine may Be con sidered ad that branch or 1 phase of medicine which makes ase of substances which produce radiations and which are called radioactive4 substances. T^ius, long before the first atom bomb was exploded radioactivity has played a role in medicine. Radium, for example, has been successfully used by physicians in the treatment of disease fcr many years, chiefly in the treatment of cancer. Radium is composed of atoms which are continuously giving off a radiation powerful enough to be used to treat cancer. X-ray has also been used for •••'I I I J many years in the therapy of numerous diseatea, including those of the skin as w«U as some forms of c&ncer. However, the chief importance of x-ray' is as a diagnostic tool. There are some substances in nature, like radium, thorium and uranium, which are constantly giving off radiations. Most substances are not radioactive, but many of them can be made to produce atomic radiations without any change in their physical appearance. In general, radioactivity is said to be due to an " u n s t a b l e " c o n d i t i o n of the atoms which make up a substance. In the process of reaching a more stable condition, energy is given off in the form of radioactivity. Thus one way to make substances radioactive, that is to majce them unstable and capable of giving off radioiations, is to subject them to strong radiation under certain special conditions. Under these conditions, .the normal substances toec o m e radioactive themselves. Some of these artificially produced radioactive substances may be active for a long time, while others return to a stable, nonradioactive state in a matter of a few seconds or even less. Again there are variations in their potency and strength. Research in the field of atomic energy and its application in medicine has developed effective aWgBII!llLlillllUI!lllllillllimill!tllllllllllll!lililHllllll!lllil!lll!lll;lllilllllllllll!lii:llllill!l1il1llll!lllll'lllll!IHII!lllllllll:lll!lilllimilllllll1lll:IHIIHII tOUNTY FARMERS 0RGED TO SECURE 1953 FERTILIZERS McHenry county farmers were advised to take immediate action tf they want to be sure of having cn hand the fertilizer they will need for 1953 planting opetations. . Critical losses in fertilizer production are threatened due to the slow movement of plant food from factory to farms thus far this year," reports the Middle West Soil Improvement committee. "Overcrowded storage facilities are causing bottlenecks at factories. \ "Already the output of essential materials used in fertilizer manufacture has been cut back, Reductions are reported in superphosphate schedules and in the production of sulfuric acid, a commodity that was critically low last year. Potash storages are filling up back to the mines. "Losses in fertilizer production cannot be recovered later, for during the spring rush season. plant3 are running twenty-four hours a day. "Farmers cannot afford to gamble again with the weather, as they did last year. Then, a serious shortage of plant food was averted by a rainy spring season which delayed ccrn planting several weeks. That enabled factories to catch up on production. "By taking delivery now farmers will have the choice of the kinds and amounts of fertilizer they want, in prime condition. Shortages during the rush period may cause some farmers to get no plant food at all, or to take whatever is available. TURTLES - _ BRAND Renew that subscription to the Plaindealer now!

Radioactive iodine is now being used experimentally in some thyroid disturbances. New knowledge about the life of the red blood cell has been fouhd through experimental studies of radioactivity in the blood. It is now possible to locate tumors in the brain after the injection of certain dyes combined with radioactive substances. Thus 1 the use of atomic energy has posited the way to many new approaches in the detection annd management of disease, Scientists are constantly exploring its influence on other conditions and there is no doubt that their work will yield new and astonishing results. Atomic energy as used in atomic medicine has made a vast contribution to the benefit of mankind and promisef even a more hopeful future.

Commercial hatcheries in Illinois turned out 1,500,000 chicks during November, 33 per cent less than in October, and 17 per cent under the total for November, 1961.
