80 ELEMENTS PLAY
PART IN PLANT LIFE
1nfinitesimal Amounts Are Found
to Have Effect on
Growth.

BY the Associated Press.
AMES, Iowa. August 24.-Perhaps 80
elements, some of them little under
stood even by scientists, exert a ire
mendouS influence on plant life.
They are found in the ash of plants
says o. A. L. Blake of the plant phySi-
ology department at Iowa State College
and among them are aluminium, cop
per, boron or borax, manganese. zinc
and arsenic.
In small quantities these inflnitesi-
NAL elements often act as stimulants to
plant growth, while in larger quantities
they prove fatal. just as some drugs at
feet the animal body.
A bean plant, DR.. Blake says. uses
.05 milligram of boron each week of
the three months it lives. The small
ness of this amount may be understood
when tits realized that a milligram is
.000035 ounce. Even in this small
amount. which was determined only
after exhaustive tests, boron is neces-
sary to several plants.
Paradoxical as it may seem, the cop
per that often Is used in spray solutions
and which is decidedly poisonous in eff
feet, aids the growth of lettuce and
onions in certain muck lands of New
York But when present in soil on
which barley is grown. even to the ex-
tent of one in 100000 parts, copper
slightly retards growth.
Manganese. on the other hand, prods
the root and top growth of barley to
greater efforts when present in small
amounts. When it passes a certain
small maximum it retards ripening,
works havoc with the cell content, and
causes following"
Some mystery surrounds the part
aluminium plays in plant growth. It is
found in the ash of many plants, but
whether it is essential Is not determined.
In growing hydrangeas, which produce
both red and blue flowers, the blue
flower can be obtained only when
aluminium is In the soil.
DR.. Blake says the presence or abb
sence of these chemical elements, so
small they can be detected only by ac-
curate analysis often causes trouble out
of all proportion to their size or ap-
parent Importance.
The chemical elements always recog-
nized as necessary to plant growth
phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, cal
cium, iron and magnesium-are well
known and their effects measured. In
recent years prospectors in the plant
and soil kingdom have been trying to
solve the mystery of the smaller ele-
ments which may affect plants as much
or more than the larger and common
elements.

PROGRAM Of JAPAN
EMPHASIZES TRADE
Development of Enterprises
Abroad Is Part of Shide-
haha's Policy.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
TOXIC, August 24-The foreign
policy of the new minister of foreign
affairs in Japan, Baron Kiijiro Shide-
hara, emphasizes trade above every
thing, is progressive and in keeping
with the international spirit of peace.
A statement credited to the authori-
ties of the foreign Office by Nippon
Dempo, particularly emphasizes five
points In the new Shidehara diplomacy.
The first Is protection of Japanese in
terests in China and a promotion of
friendship between the two countries
for mutual benefit. In revising the
Sino-Japanese commercial treaty the
foreign minister will follow the prin-
ciple announced by the Japanese dele
gate at the tariff conference held in
Picking few years ago. AS for fixing
of the tariff rate, the foreign minister
will adopt measures for the development
of trade between the two countries.
Food and Emigration Plans Made.
Baron Shidehara seeks the develop
ment of peaceful japanese enterprises
abroad as measure to improve the
trade balance. He organized under the
Wakatsuki cabinet a special commits
sion to make thorough investigation
of Japan's trade with China, India and
South Sea regions and to formulate
policy for this purpose, but 1t ceased
to operate with the downfall of the
cabinet. He is expected to revive the
organ to study ways and means for the
encouragement of enterprises among
Japanese colonies and emigrantS abroad.
The development of natural resources
by japanese as part Of japanese en-
terprise abroad is regarded by Baron
Shidehara as one of the most important
factors for the solution of the food
and population problem. He considers
this as essential for the realization of
diplomacy on the basis of economic
principles. He proposes to send emf
grants of high quality overseas to get
raw material.
Wants South American Supply.
Special emphasis is laid on the i'm
portance Of Japan for cultivating closer
relations with South America. the
South Seas and Soviet Russia to develop
natural resources in those territories.
Baron Shidehara hopes to improve the
Russo-JapaneSe treaty in order to in
sure the safety Of the Japanese fishing
industry along the coast provinces OF
Russia.
Baron Shidehara realizes that the
friendship between Japan and the
United States has been greatly increas-
ed in recent years. He intends to bring
about still closer relations with that
country which will ultimately find an
amicable solution of anti-JapaneSe
legislation and the japanese immigra-
ton problem, many believe.

Forty Miles of Water Tunnels.

There are sugar plantations on Kauai,
Oahu and Maui, in the Pacific, with 40
miles of tunnels and bitches to carry
life-giving water, and a famous aque-
duct on Oahu taps four valleys and
traverses tunnel 14,443 feet long. One
plantation uses more water than the
city of San Francisco, says Nature
Magazine. Thousands of arteSian wells
dot the countryside. In 1926, about
10000 tons of sugar worth SOS, 100000
were raised on the 6.449 square miles
that comprise this daub of water-Sur-
rounded land. The pineapple crop
brings revenue Of nearly $34,000,000
