For What It’s Worth
By Grayson E. Murphy
Dist. Agricultural Agent
Fertilizer
It is fertilizer ordering time
again. Time to give some serious
consideration to what kind of
Artilizer to buy. Should you mix
your own or buy the already pre
pared fertilizer.
Sharpen a pencil and do some
figurir g on the amount you are
going to apply per acre. 1 think
you will find you can save money
by mixing the fertilizer yourself
from high analysis carriers—such
as, ammonium nitrate, treble-sup
er phosphate; 11-43; and muriate
of potash.
Another item to consider—Are
you using enough fertilizer?
There is an easy way to find out.
Increase the rate of application on
two or three strips across the field
and see what happens. Also, are
you using the right combination?
Try a couple of strips with extra
nitrogen or phosphate, or potash
and observe if it makes a differ
ence.

CHANGES PENDING
IN CHRONIC DISEASE
HOSPITAL PROGRAMS
Contracts are pending with hos
pitals in Fairbanks, Anchorage,
Jureau and Ketchikan in new
plans for operation of the Alaska
Department of Health chronic dis
ease program, according to Dr.
C. Earl Albrecht, commissioner of
health.
Emphasis of the program is be
ing changed, he explained, from
long-term hospital care to diag
nosis and outline of plans for
containing treatment which can
be carried on by the patient’s lo
cal physician.
Many patients with chroric
conditions do not require long
term hospitalization, Dr. Albrecht
explained, but can be under treat
ment while carrying on near-nor
mal lives in home surroundings.
He said that when the Health
department’s chronic disease pro
gram was begun in 1949 there
were no pediatricians in private
practice in Alaska and therefore
a “Chronic Disease unit" of nine
beds was established at St. Ann’s
hospital in Juneau. Children
were admitted to it from all parts
of the territory and some were
hospitalized for long periods be

cause there was no provision for
continuing treatment for them in
their own communities.
This limited the number of pa
tients who could benefit from
the chronic disease program, he
said, which is financed by a $50,
000 annual grant from the U. S.
Children’s bureau. New' plans for
operation of the program are in
accordance with Children’s bur
eau stipulations, Dr. Albrecht
said, and will benefit many chil
dren throughout the territory
rather than the few who could
be treated on a long-term hos
pitalization basis in a small hos
pital unit.
