In a cross-sectional investigation, 128 U.K. children (68 females and 60 males; mean age = 10 years and 4 months) completed the CTGNS and reported their trust in, and fear of, nurses. A total of 46 parents reported those dispositions and the frequency of their children visiting medical centres. The CTGNS showed acceptable internal consistency and factor structure. It was correlated with reported children's trust in nurses and visiting medical centres. The CTGNS will permit the investigation of children's trust in nurses and interventions to promote it.

Sherman and Smith (11) suggest that the cow is able to store a surplus of vitamin A in the body during the summer months when fed green plants. This store may then be drawn upon during the winter months when the cow is fed dry feeds. Under uniform stall feeding conditions McLeod, Brodie, and Macloon (7) found that milk varied little in vitamin A content from season to season. Drummond, Coward, and Watson (2) in 1921 pointed out that the vitamin A content of milk at different seasons is dependent upon the diet. Kennedy and Dutcher (5) found that the amount of vitamins A and B in milk de- pends upon the abundance of the supply in the feed of the cow. That the vitamin A content of milk may be raised by the feeding of cod- liv...

Deficiencies which had occurred in other experiments could always be explained as due to the use of other legumes designated by the common name, pea. Thus Finks and his coworkers had found that cystine was a limiting factor in growth with the cowpea (Vigna sinensis), and McCollum, Simmonds and Parsons ('19) had reported that split peas identified as Vicia sativa, when soaked, autoclaved and dried in air, did not support very good growth if fed as 45% of the diet. Sure ('21) reported that in repeating McCollum's work he encountered conflicting results which could he traced to the inadvertent use of one lot of field peas. More recently Cook and Robertson ('41) have reported that the protein of Alaska field peas when added to a cereal ration for chicks has about 50% of the sup plementary value of casein and that dl-valine does not appear to be the limiting factor in the nutritive value of pea protein. Finks and his co-wTorkers('22) described their product as a smooth, yellow, split pea. The Alaska field pea, also identified 1Published with the approval of the Director as research paper no. 213 of the Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station.

JOHNSON Idaho Agr~cultura~ Experiment S~ation In the three previous papers from this station the vitamin A activity of the following six pasture plants were reported: white clover, Kentucky bluegrass, timothy, red top, alfalfa, and smooth brome. The plants reported herein are sweet clover, orchard grass, and meadow rescue. These nine pas- ture plants are probably more universally used in pasture m~xtures than any other plants. Although alfalfa is included in the list it is not used exten- sively as a pasture crop. Its vitamin A activity in the fresh green state is of interest, however, for comparison with reports on the vitamin A activity of alfalfa hay. Because of previous literature reviews, citations will be limited to those pertinent to this report. The orchard grass and meadow rescue studied were grown under irrigation at the Caldwe)l Substation of the Idaho Agri- cultural Experiment Station. In addition to second-year sweet clover under the same conditions, both first-year and second-year non-irrigated sweet clover grown at Moscow were studied. The same experimental procedure was used as in the second report (6). Fresh green samples of the plants were received at the laboratory twice a week. The samples were obtained under typical pasturage conditions. The period covered by the experi- mental feeding was later in the summer than the period represented in previous reports on other plants. RESULTS The average weight of the rats in all groups was 39 grams at the begin- ning of the depletion period and 96 grams at the end. The depletion period for all the rats averaged 29 days. The average growth response of the rats when fed each of the plants as a vitamin A supplement is shown in Table I and Figure 1. Results are presented for periods of four weeks (28 days) and the vitamin A values are expressed in rat units calculated from the dose in milligrams which caused a gain of 12 grams in four weeks.
