Freedom, objected to differences
made by Gen. Amos. Fries, chief Of
the chemical warfare section, when
he included her in group Of
workers whose activities in behalf
Of peace had been subsidized by
communists and pacifists who were
working against preparedness.
General Fries had just delivered
a forty-minute discussion of COM
munism as he had found it to OBJ
tain in this country after eighteen
months study, when he was chal-
lenged by Harriet Conner Brown.
He included in the organizations
whose activities were being used by
the National Council for the Pre-
ventiOn of War to further it's propa-
ganda, the following: Girls Friend

Organizations, National Board of

Mrs. William Cumming Story, for
four years president-general of the
Daughters of American Revolution,
in the afternoon session urged pre-.
paredness against the overwhelm-
ing menace of radicaliSm which ex-
lists in various quarters throughout
the country. She asked of all
people real Americanism, urging
that the ideal prevail in our gov
ernmental and social conduct.

interest Of the remainder of the
afternoon session, the topic being
thoroughly discussed by Miss Eta

OF over-populati0n and such ills
through the production of an end
less source of food supply.
Microbes are entirely out Of my
line" said Burbank in commenting
on this angle of the future food
supply question. But / have ut
most confidence in what Steinmetz
can offer on any subject.
What he says with regard &c
the improvement of plants and their
ability to store up more carbon
substances through the aid OF sun
light acting through chlorophyl ON
the protO-plasmic cell substance Is
correct in every particular.
81 have just finished an article
for Hearst's International Magazine
on this very subject"
The tropics, Burbank believes, Is
where plants Of this nature should
be looked for in the wild state.
But improvements which can be
made on plants grown in our tenn
perate climates are beyond the
imagination of the ordinary person.
Burbank continued:
Sees Deserts Paradise.
Personally, I should commence
on such plants as the Semi-troplcal
solenums: maize plants, possibly;
hemp also, but our greatest asset
in the future for capturing sun
light will be the desert areas OF
the world which may perhaps be.
come the most valuable areas Of the
earth's- surface. Especially, If the
manufacture of synthetic sugar by
means of sunlight and chlorophyl
can be accomplished.>
"As Steinmetz sayS, plants are
not the economical producers they
can become by the plant breeders
crossings, improvements and selec-
tons.
az have walnut tree at the
present time that nearly fills the
bill. My Hybrid Paradox Walnut
will produce timber ten times as
fast az any walnut tree heretofore
known.
1.-THE sugar beet is one of the
best of carbon producers at the
present time, rivaling the sugar
cane which is also a rapid carbon
producer but which cannot be
grown in a temperate climate like
the sugar beet.
I'VE shall probably have to look
to our semi-tropical plants now in
existence upon which to make Inn
provements in the direction de-

Bowd0in HifFs
Big Gas Flow

Saco, Development in the field
at Bowdoin, during the last few
days has reached the highest
pitch yet attained when on We'd
nesday the Bowdoin Oil & Gas
company, drilling near Nelson
reservoir, struck a tremendous
flow of gas.
The first intimation Of the
strike was when a series Of good
rock were thrown from the cas-
ing to a heighth Of q hundred
feet or more. The largest of
these rocks completely demolish-
ed the crown block of the derrick
causing damage estimated a {
about 5000. The repairs to the
derrick have been made and
drilling operations have been re-
sumed.
While no estimate of the gas
pressure was made, it is said
that the $500 pound drill oscillat-
ed up and down over q distance
Of from six to eight inches when
hanging in the casing. An erup-
ton Of mud, rock and other sub
terranean substances forced up
the gas pressure occurred at
intervals of about three hours.
The pressure Of gas in such
strength and quantity is looked
upon by oil men as a convincing
sign, as it indicates an even
greater pressure in the lower
3tratas while they believe lie be-
the oil supply.
