AMERICAN FIRMS GET
JAPANESE CONTRACTS

TOXIC, Dec. 2S.-(A P)-Con-
struction work under way IN Japan by
American contracting firms represents
several million of yen, with prospects
of much larger volume.
The George a. Fuller company al
ready has completed several office
buildings in Toxic, Yokohama and
Kobe and has started on others in the.
capital. Stone & Webster, Inc, of
Boston have in hand the constructions
of high dam Hydro electric plant on
the Sho river in Toyama Prefecture,
which is the largest in Japan, its ulti-
mate capacity being 100000 kilowats,
1t is designed to supply the various
industries of the west coast as well as
those in the larger industrial centers.
The most important of the new
work. for which the American firms
will bid, is the building OF small in
dustrial city at Tsurfumi between To-
kio and Yokohama, for the Shibeura
company, which is asso-
ciated with the General Electric COM
panY of America.
This firm has decided, owing to |
the lack of space in the vicinity of its
present plant to move bodily to Tsur- |
uni. Besides the buildings, there will |
be water, sewage and street car sys- !
Lems to be installed as well as the
other public utilities that go to make
up, a modern town.

Elmer Moore has reported that his

He inspected his fields on Christmas

Ed Marshall says that his wheat is
in pretty good shape, but he is anticl-
pating that some reseeding will be
necessary in his locality
Senator Henry j. Taylor declared
this morning that on his farm the
stand is one of the best secured in sew
eral years.
Harold Maloney who operates the
Maloney land on the reservation
thinks that the stand of winter wheat
will be good. The warm weather is
having a very beneficial effect on it,
and some kernals that had just
sprouted when the cold weather froze

be through. Spots which were bare Il

Wheat growers in the south part of
the county's wheat belt near Pilot
Rock are pleased with the weather
and think it will insure them a fairly
good stand, according to c. w. Paulus,
banker of that town, who was here
today. Cattle men are also hoping
that the warm days will continue.

One million five hundred and sixty

dertaking an extensive investigation
According to W. G.. Campbell actins
chief chemist the investigation will b,
conducted through a laboratory o.
crop chemistry, recently established
which will determine if there are any
| fundamental chemical differences il
the composition of flint or hard corr
! and the dent corn largely produced in
! the United States.
The laboratory will undertake stu
dies on the composition of agricul-
tural crops in 4 fundamental way.
. Additional work will be carried on
concerning the influence of environ
ment on the chemical composition of
crops including certain features of
fertilization, such as the relation Of
chemical composition and food value
of crops to the time of fertilizer appli.
cation. Previous work has been di.
rected chiefly toward the Quantity
viewpoint The new work will be di-
rected to quality.
May Change Quality
1T is known, for instance" says
Mr. Campbell, that the application
of certain fertilizer to crop like corn
will increase the yield quantitatively.
However. practically nothing is known
about quality relations; that is, wheth.
er the proteins, vtamines, or miner
al comonents of the corn fortified in |
such way are better suited to ami |
NAL and human nutrition than those |
of unfertilized corn. Varietal differ
cnces will be studied from a chemical
zone of the most, important re-
searches now under way is that upon
vegetable proteins. Inasmuch as nit
'ogen is an essential part of animal
issues and the animal can obtain this
necessary nitrogen only in the form of
protein in its food, it is obvious that
