Ingling will visit the Berhely Ag-
ricultural Experimental station in
the interest of Key West.
If the science of hrydroponics
can be developed in Key West it
will mean not only a remarkable
source of income for a group of
enterprising citizens, it is said,
but also decided Improvement
in the table supplies of the city
and general step up in the diet
cry resources, especially of chill
dren.
Briefly, the operation consists
of growing plants, such as toma-
toes, with the seed planted in a
thin layer of some sterile media
on a wire screen suspended over
a tank of water which is supplied
with the chemicals, PHOSPHORUS,
nitrogen and potash, with other
minor, but important, elements.
The growth and productivity of
plants SO grown is many times
that of plants grown in soil. AL
ready much valuable data has
been obtained, both at Washing
ton and California, it is said.
Here in Key West with its mild,
frost-free climate, would seem to
be the ideal for this work to be
carried on, it is claimed, and it
would seem to be one of those
rare cases where an enterprising,
public-spirited citizen might adj
vance the interests of his COM
munity and reap a substantial re-
ward while doing so.

Bahson On Capital


The writer does not know ex-
actly why the nation is in its pres
ent economic condition. Many
views have been expressed. Roger
Babson, noted financial writer
says, "thoSe who control the
wealth and industry of the nation
have joined labor and consumers
in a strike!" Mr.. Babson ex-
presses amazement that ''the
greatest and richest nation in the
world, with gigantic mineral and
farm wealth, unlimited factory
and machine equipment, and UNI
Jprecedented credit reservoirs" has
ia stupid recession" He says that
capitalistsoEs refuse to risk their
money because they "feel that the
Administration has stacked the
deck so they have gone on sit
down of their own!" Add this,
he says, to renewed labor troubles
and the consumer 'sit-down' and
we have business stagnation.
In other words, says Mr.. Bah
son, the capitalists are unwilling
to take the risk of business deals
because they think that the Gov
eminent will take too much of the
profits if they win in the under
taking. Mr.. Babson, therefore,
recommends that the Govern
ment lower the Capital Gains
levy to encourage capitalists to
invest their funds and then tax
new public bonds in order to force
capital to work.

prosperity. He asserts that it is
necessary to secure the coopera-

the nation can be on a sound and
permanent basis. Mr.. Roosevelt,
in the past, has not hesitated to
assail the practices of business
leaders and many members of
his official family have attributed
part of the responsibility for the
present depression to what they
call a strike of capital against the
