MORE THAN SEVEN OUT OF TEN
FARMERS TAKE NEWSPAPERS

The lure of radio, movies, and
automobiles has not taken the farm
er's time away from his news
papers. On the contrary, farmers
take and read more newspapers to-
day than they did 10 years ago.
This was revealed today in sur
vey made by The National Fer
tilizer Association on the sources
of information which the farmer
uses and the farming practices
which he employs. The survey re-
ports that more than seven out Of
ten of the $4,000 farmers person
ally interviewed in 35 States, take
daily newspaper, and more than
half of them take weekly.
This represents gain OF 7 per
cent in farmer-readers of daily
newspapers over the number report
ed in a similar survey made
10 years ago by The National Fer
tiliZer Association. The increase
in daily newspapers was not made
at the expense of weekly papers,
because the weeklies also show q
gain of per cent.
The gain in farmer-readeFs of
newspapers is credited to the fact
that farmers of the past decade
have been forced to keep up with
better farming methods, and also
with local and national political
situations and, that the newspapers
have kept pace with the demand of
farmers for timely and accurate in
formation which they must have
in order to conduct their business.

WHEAT CONSERVATION
PROGRAM

Against ice-depressing crop sur
pluses, the AAA of 1888 provides a
triple arreled defense-conserva-
ton payments to restrict acreage;
crop loans to peg prices; marketing
quotas to hold excess produce from
market.
The first two barrels have already
been trained on wheat. In return 1or
conservation payments, farmers
trimmed their wheat land by l5,-
100000 acres. Crop loans averag-
ing SO cents a bushel on $4,000
600 bushels now stored in Federal
warehouses have held prices above
depression lows.
Last week, Agriculture Secretary
Wallace announced that tha hrsS
two steps had worked so well that
he would not have to use at all the
third and most drastic-narketlng
quotas. Under the AAA, the Secre-
tary must hold a referendum among
wheat growers when the total sup
ply reaches 1876 per cent OF one
wears normal domestic aud export
needs-about billion bushels. IL
two-thirds of the farmers agree.
each must sell no more than GER
tain part Of his crop.
In deciding that there need be
no such vote this year, Wallace estl-
mated the winter crop OF 549,9OO,-
900 bushels GO per cent under last
years., spring wheat at $50. 100000
bushels, and carryover at 2iO,OO0,-
600. Though he hailed the decision
as proof that the AAA program was
a success, skeptics suggested that
severe drought in the southwest had
played some part in holding the
wheat crop within bounds.

st. Louis, Mo.-The imam in white"
has trinmphed again. Biologist and
research chemist have joined forces
with electrical science to produce new
laboratory instrument that measures
to the millionth of gram, the amount
of vitamin A (Carotene) in feedstuffs
for poultry and livestock.
"Vitamin A is essential to the
healthful existence of man, bird and
animal" says Lamar M. Kishlar, man
ager of Research for Purina Mills. 1t
is known as resistance builder. It
helps the body to function normally and
resist certain types of disease.
"For years after the discovery of the
Importance of this vital element in
poultry and animal nutrition, the only
way to measure the Vitamin A Caro-
tene) content Of feedstuffs was by act
ual feeding tests on chicks. white rats,
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1939-06-02

and other small laboratory animals.
Naturally 1t took from to IL weeks
before research men could tell, by the
growth and development of the ami
mails, just how much or how little vita
min strength the tested feed or ingred-
lent contained" Kishlar says. "But now
after many years speeding up process
in vitamin testing has been developed
in the Purina Agricultural Research
Laboratories. Today, with special photo
electric equipment built by Purina Re-
search scientists, it is possible to detect
and measure Vitamin A (Carotene)
content in four hours instead of weeks
of feeding experiment.
"By this new method, twelve samples
can be tested in little over four hours
and their Vitamin A (Carotene) con-
tent measured to the millionth Of a
gram"

Scientists collect many live speci.

from the little-known Lost World"
of the British Guiana highlands.
Their principal prize is the larg-
est species of ant in the world. No
pleasant place is British Guiana,
with its hot sultry climate, it's un-
healthful conditions, its near impreg-
'nable jungles. Almost 80 per cent
of the land is covered with heavy
tropical growth. Sugar and dia-
monds make it a valuable colony.
