In addition to the individual
satisfaction they receive, the sci
entists are conducting experiments
in the mucky field which may
prove of paramount Importance to
the American farmers toward
their conclusion.
VARIED EXPERIMENTS
In one field a young scientist
with several degrees and holes in
the seat of his pants was busy
putting red and green tags on to-
bacco plants. At sight Of a cam.
era he became as shy as grass
hopper and about half as articu-
late. He was, he said, conducting
an experiment to make tobacco
produce more nicotine so 1t would
be made into more powerful in.
secticide. But the experiment has
been going on for only three years
and had produced nothing which
could be announced for publica.
ton, he insisted.
A few fields away DR.. B. F. Jen-
kins, chief of corn crops in the
cereal division of the Agriculture
Department, was busy shaking
pollen from corn whose family
tree has been kept unblemished
for 20 years.
PROUD OF CORN
DR.. Jenkins was mighty proud
of a field of hybrid corn standing
II feet high, but he didn't want
to talk about it.
You see we're still experiment
trying to make our corn catch up
with the publicity that already
has been given it," he said.
All over the farm other sci
entists who had fled from the
drab routine of desk work we're
busy puttering about the fields.
The experimental farm covers
more than 300 acres and is dear
to the hearts of the departments
scientists because on it they can
raise their own crops. Desper-
ately and successfully they have
fought off all efforts to transfer
the farm to the broader acres of

And so another critic Of the
Nationals Capital bites the dust.
This time it's Maury Maverick of
Texas, grandson of old Sam Nav
erick, whose name found its way
into the English language as denOt-
ing an unbranded stray on the
cattle range.
If there are any differences or
wisecraCks to flow from that cir
cumStance in view of what hap
pened in the Texas primary, Tex
ans will have to discover them. It's
enough for Washington h
grandson Maury. Congressman of
many words, few of them kind or
generous where the Capital was
concerned, will not be with us in
the next Congress.
WASHINGTON APPLAUDS
Notwithstanding his success in
getting aboard the Roosevelt Spe-
cial as it passed through the Lone
Star State. and his further achieve
ment in hearing President RoOse-
Velt speak of him as My very good
friend" the voters decided they
liked his opponent better. And
Washington applauds their choice
knowing nothing about his op-
ponent. but all it needs to know
about Maury.
Maury once said, on impulse,
that should Washington get suf-
frage the votes should be thrown
into the Potomac. On second
thought, he said they might pol
lutte the stream.
Now he goes to join the ranks of
others of the dear departed like
