“HAY” FEVER
Ragweeds Most Com-5
mon Cause of Trou-
ble Declares State
i Health Bulletin
"Hay fever is :1 disease caused for
the most part by irritation from
plant pollens. Three forms of hay
fever-‘the early spring. the early
summer and the. late summer or fall
types—are. recognized. although the
symptoms are essentially the same
in each. Each type is caused by
the plant pollens maturing in its re—
spective season. An individual that
is susceptible usually suffers from
but one of these seasonal varieties,
although some are afflicted with
two or even all three. The autumn
form is by far the. most common.
"Pollens form a. great variety of
plants are known to produce hay
fever occasionally but these most
commonly causing the disease, at.
least. in the eastern and northern
United States. are the ragweeds. Of
these there are several species.
“Ragweeda frequent uncultivated
areas such as roadsidcs. vacant lots
and fence corners. They flower
from about the middle of Angust to
the middle of October unless killed
earlier by frost. During the flower-
ing season each inormal plant pro-
duces billions of pollens. The indi~
vldual grains are so buoyant that. on
windy days they easily float five
miles or more in sufficient numbers
to cause nasal irritation to suscep-
tible persons.
"More than 1.000.000 persons in
the United. States suffer annually
from hay fever. Depending on the
lueceptibility of the patient and the
V amount of pollen in the air. the at-
men vary in severity from the’ symp-
toms of a. mild cold to complete in-
capacitation.
{'Bince nearly all of this suffering
in preventable by destroying the hay
fever producing plants. the emdica-
ilorfof the causative agents become;
I. problem worthy of serious consid-
eration by public health officials.
"What can be done in this direc-
tion ? If the offender is a tree, such
as an oak' or a maple, its destruc-
tion would generally be entirely im-
prlctical. but if it is a. grass or a
weed (a. is usually the case). its
qontrol is feasible, and.becomes a
dilute:- of economics.
3. “Weeds may be prevented from
t n; by cultivation or by thick
clover. Vacant. lots
joum be planted to gardens or
. and sown with White clover
he waits. Areas impractical for
“cultivation. such as road sides and

Farm Bureau Head
Tells at Meeting in
Redding '—— Sees Bet-
ter Condition
“Farming is a two—fold problem."
said S McLean Buckingham. presi-
bureau and. member of the National
Farm bureau federation. speaking
dent of the Litchtield county
Bureau and their friends. gathered
at Putnam Park for their annual
outing. He. declared that the great-
er of there two factors which influ-
enced agriculture. was the individual,
the. second factor. agricultural con-
ditions.
Mr. Buckingham spoke of the dif-
ficulties of farming and said that.
all farmers were now in an agricul-
tural crisis. for agriculture is stami—
ing still while. other businesses are
forging ahead. In spite .of these
drawbacks Mr. Buckingham pointed
out how the agriculturlsts are sur—
viving this period largely through
the advice of the. Farm bureaus. lie
urged that the farmers utilize every
privilege of the Farm bureau and
in return that. they should heartily
support the institution both finan—
cially anti morally.
(’lther speakers on the program
were \Viison Lee. of the New Haven
lt‘arm bureau. who gave a. brief talk
on the. importance of agriculture.
Dr. \V'ulter t". \N’ood. president of
the Tri-State Farm bureau federa-
tion. introduced the speakers. The
program for the women was in
charge of Home Demonstration
Agent. Miss Mabel Milhan and Miss
Edith M. Hawley. Mis- flawley
gave a short talk on the favorite
methods of canning fruit.
People. were present from all over
the country and the picnic groun’ds
at the south end of the park pavil-
ion were crowded during the basket
luncheon. Following the speeches
a. program of sports was in order
in charge of club leader James ll.
t'ase. Races. games. barnyard golf
and other sports kept many on the
grounds until dark.

are. granted to officers on the active
list. in the general‘s case these
reach $1.500 annually for heat and
light and $6.500 for quarters.
Army officers were inclined to ho.
lieve there was authority under ex—
isting law for continuing the gen-
eral at full pay and present allow-
ance. but. neither these officers no:
the government officials would dis—
cuss the matter. preferring to wait
until the issue actually arose. This
would come about if the army fino
ancc officers approved vouchers for
full pay and allowances after con-
sultation with the Judge Advocate
General. , The vouchers would then
have to go to Controller General
McCari for his decision. At Mr.
Carl's office it was said today that
the matter had not been brought up.
Created by a Congressional act of
June 1, 1888, the office of General
of the army went out of existence
on August 5 of that year. the date
of the death of General Philip H.
Sheridan. but. it was revived by the
act of September 3. 1919, passed to
fit the case of General Pershing.

genera s oulrl have the " «
scribed by Section 24 of threaicfrgf

shall deem appropriate." 5
in making the point that there
was nothing in existing law making‘
any exception in favor of General
Pershing for full active pav after
retirement, government. officials rc-
calietl that the WVar Department had
