LET scientific men be encouraged,
not stingilys but layishly, to attack
the problems connected with the fer

of utilizing solar energy in the pro-
duction of the right kind Of yegeta'
ton, and good results are bound to

in this matter is faith.
1.-THE satisfactory promotion Of SCI

lions Of pounds sterling. The nation
can atfor dto be lavish. The young
energy and brains are ready; the
means and equipment are lacking.
Even now, in war time, the ancient
strangle-hold of official parsimony is
tight In many instances, and not even
now is official expenditure authorized
which would enable schemes to move
in the right direction. Private purses
have to be appealed to, or we have to
take refuge in other work Of less
expensive character.
