The French are so continually crit

Monsieur Dubreuil is a working

last analysis the human hand is the
master instrument, and will always
remain So. He illustrates the point
by describing some operations which
he witnessed at an automobile fac

or three tons are here first shaped

New Fertilizer to
Use Ammonia, Peat

turing Process Simple
and Inexpensive.

prepared by the United states Department
Of MISUNDERSTANDING Service.
Ammoniated peat, new fertilizer
material, has been developed IN the
laboratories of the Department OF
Agriculture. 1t seems to combine
many of the good features of the two
familiar types of nitrogen-carrying fer
tilizers. 1t has not been developed
commercially yet, but chemists OF the
department say that. the manufacturing
process is simple and relatively mex
pensive and that the commercial pro
duction of ammoniated peat offers op-
portunity for material saving IN
freight on fertilizers Small scale ex-
periments with plants have given
promising results.
BY heating ammonia and peat un-
der pressure, about two-thirds of the
reacting ammonia is changed to chem
ical combinations that are not soluble
in water. These forms are generally
similar to the heterogeneous fertilizer
materials in cottonseed meal and ami
Hal lduhdSc. NOuShlJ q Univ " SA-S
ammonia remains in water-solubie
forms. Depending on temperature, the
peat may be ammoniated to contain
up to 20 per cent of nitrogen. A 20
per cent product would thus contain
in each hundred pounds nearly half
as much quick-acting nitrogen as 100
pounds of sodium nitrate and would
at the same time contain about twice
as much slower-acting nitrogen as 100
pounds of cottonseed meal. In other
words, 100 pounds of 20 per cent am
nominated peat would be roughly
equivalent to 200 pounds of cotton
seed meal plus so pounds of sodium
nitrate. The product could be shipped
with notable savings in freight and
with notable advantage in combining
the good features of both the slow
acting and the quick-acting nitrogen
carriers. Raw peat is of relatively
little value as a >n1tritive ingredient
in fertilizer, but is recognized as II
highly desirable element in mixed fer
tilizers because of its value as a
conditioner and because it supplies
to the soil a desirable form of organic
matter.

May Find Corn That Will
Withstand Heat and Cold

Some strains of yellow dent corn
that are resistant to cold will also
withstand more heat than corn that is
not cold-resistant, the United States
Department of Agriculture announces.
The resistance to both heat and cold
is due to the higher proportion of
bound water in the corn plant, the de-
partment says.
The experimenting indicating the
heat-resistant quality of corn were
made in cooperation with the Illinois
agricultural experiment station.
The corn specialists give the water
in the white of an egg as an example
of bound water, while that in sponge
is free water. Bound water forms
part of the plant. Plants high In
bound water resist heat damage be-
cause the heat can not draw so much
of the moisture from the plant and it
can thus endure more heat. In cold
weather the cold can not so easily
freeze the water in the plant into ice
crystals, thus breaking up the cell
structures. Bound water thus ac-
counts for both heat and cold resist
ance.
The experiments showed that heat
resistant plants increased their bound
water capacity with successive heat
and drought spells. They also found
that If the heat came on gradually the
corn was hardened to 1t and held more
bound water and withstood more heat.
Although the heat-resistance and
cold-resistance studies are several
steps ahead of the general farmer, the
department points out that the dis
covery means that eventually i'm
proved strains of corn will be pro-
duced that will tend to resist heat as
well as cold.

Watering Farm Trees

This question cannot be answered
specifically for all soil types. An ex-
animation of the soil with soil anger
is the most reliable method to use in
determining when trees should be wa
tered. 1t is advisable to water trees
before they show signs of moisture de-
ficlency. Applied generally to south
ern Idaho, farm woods and windbreaks
thrive best on from four to seven wa
terings. Some woodlots have done
well without irrigation water after
