To the Editor: Ege et al. (Feb. 24 issue)(1) report that in two cross-sectional studies, children who lived on farms and were exposed to an increased range of microbes had a reduced incidence of asthma.

Several studies(2),(3) have shown that breast-feeding is protective against asthma, and children who live on farms are more likely to be breast-fed for longer than children who do not live on farms. In a large American study, 64% of farm mothers were likely to have breast-fed their first baby, . . . |
