Comments on Conservation l i n o i s F r o m t h e D e p a r t m e n t o f C o n s e r v a t i o n Prairie Chickens Show Increase Prairie chickens on san$uaries near Bogota showed an increase for the third straight year, ac­ cording to authorities in the Illi­ nois Department of Conservation and Illinois Natural History Sur­ vey.

"We still have some work to be done before we close the valve and begin filling the lake," said Henry N. Barkhausen, Director of the Department. "There are overhead telephone cables crossing the lake basin that must be re­ located by the utility company and the Department plans to in­ stall a water line across the basin to serve the rest of the park." an increase of 47 per cent in the cocks on the breeding grounds over that of 1970," said Jim Lockart, supervisor of the division of wildlife resources for the de­ p a r t m e n t . " T h e m a l e p r a i r i e chickens on the sanctuaries num­ bered 159, and represent 72 per cent of the known statewide popu­ lation of 222 cocks." A total of 62 prairie chicken nests were found on the sanctu­ aries near Bogota this year. Of these, 40 were successful and 21 were abandoned or destroyed by predators. The fate of one nest remained unknown. around 1,000. The prairie chicken will never again flourish in Illi­ nois, but through these sanctuaries in Jasper and Marion counties we hope to preserve the bird so that future generations will be able to see the prairie chicken in its nat­ ural habitat, rather than stuffed animals in museums."

During the fiscal year 1970-71 (ended last June 30) exports of U.S. agricultural products were valued at $7.8 billion. This amount was an increase of 15 percent from the year before- and it was 14 percent larger than the previous record set in 1966-67. Two-thirds of the 15- percent gain from 1969-70 was due to greater volume, and one- third was due to higher prices for the commodities that were exported. All of the gain in agricultural exports in 1970-71 was in commercial sales for dollars. Cash sales brought in about $6.8 billion, $1.1 billion more than during the year before. The value of farm products ex­ ported under government- financed programs held steady at about $1 billion. Foreign buyers took a large share of every major crop, or the production of about one acre out of every four acres harvested. Foreign markets took more than half of our * output of soybeans, wheat, and rice; over one-third of our tobacco and cotton; and one- fourth of the corn sold by farmers.

And also observe how few medical doctors ever submit to any surgery what­ soever, unless for obstructive cancer that blocks the bowel or urinary output! For it has become a fad in America to go to the hospital and submit to surgery! Beware! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE M-575: Jennie Crane, aged 92, is my mother. About 12 years ago, she had a flare-up of her gall bladder so she was sent to the hospital for observation and possible surgery. When I came down from Chicago to visit her, I could detect no yellowing of the whites of her eyes, which is an early sign of blockage of the bile ducts. A more refined test is called the "icteric index," made from the patient's blood. It showed a slight increase but not enough yet to indicate surgical removal of the gall bladder. In fact, if you laymen were more scientific and used your "horse sense," you'd not need 40 percent of the surgical operations now in vogue! For example, just notice how few physicians ever have their own gall bladders removed! My mother's genial surgeon, kindly and a friend of mine, urged an immediate gall bladder operation for my mother. And I even noted that she had been put on a high fat diet! Apparently this was to help "persuade" her, for she is gullible regarding doctors, so she was already willing to have a cholecystectomy. Since my father was still living, I warned him in secret. "Pop," I said, "out of courtesy I will go along with the surgeon's advice, but don't you agree to removal of Mom's gall bladder! "For that's a serious major operation and at her age, she might not pull through. (Two patients in adjoining rooms bdfti died of the same surgery and they weren't anywhere near my mother's age). "Besides," I informed my dad, "we Northwestern university doctors were taught to let Nature handle matters until they reached a far more acute state than Mom is now in. - "So you should absolutely oppose any surgery at this time, despite the fact I will seemingly assent to it!" Which my Dad did, and Mom came home a week later. She has been fairly chipper ever since. Now I have utmost respect and gratitude to talented surgeons who intervene when other simpler methods have failed. But you should seldom rush into surgery as your FIRST treatment! Use other methods and medical "horse sense" measures at the start. For much surgery is not necessary today, as shown by the reports of former Mayo Clinic expert, Dr. Walter Alvarez, and Dr. James C. Doyle, of the University - of California. Dr. Doyle analyzed 6,248 partial or complete h y s t e r e c t o m i e s ( W o m b removal), which is major surgery. But 40 per cent of all these (2 out of every 5) were totally unmerited and unnecessary, as per the hospital pathologist's reports. GOODYEAR SERVICE STORE 4400 W.

Which means that those appendectomy surgeons were right in only 42 per cent of the cases, despite all the aids of modern X-ray, blood and other hospital laboratory testing. But 42 per cent isn't even a chance result! Why, if the corner newspaper boy had flipped a coin on all those 385 cases, saying "Heads you go to the operating table and tails, you go home," he'd have rated a 50 per cent batting average vs. the medics' 42 per cent! • (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, en­ closing a long stamped, ad­ dressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.)
