SCIENCE PROGRESSES

Electrically produced potatoes"
a process In which plants are given
an electrical urge TO make them
grow faster, and electrically-made
cloth were predicted today by Dr.
Colin G. Fink. Colum bia University
scientist.
These developments may sound
fantastic, as DR.. Fink admits, but
electricity has done some fantastic
things since Ben Franklin flew his
kite. The ability OF man made
lightning to perform these mira
Giles, DR.. Fink says, depends on its
facility In taking over the func-
tons Of other forms Of energy
sunlight for instance.
The synthetic production OF po-
tatoes requires the substitution OF
electricity for light. In the pro-
cess, the constituents OF potato
starch-carbon, hydrogen and oxy-
gen-are driving together to form
a compound by electricity instead
OF by the sun as in natures way.
The natural growth Of plants in
the soil can also be stimulated
electrically. DR.. Fink continued.
Charged wires are strung low to
the ground between rows of-say-
spinach. The effect has something
TO do with ionization and photosyn-
thesis according to the Columbia
scientist but 70 the layman it
looks as though the process ad-
ministers an amperage push to
produce for the farmer bales OF
spinach In relatively short time.
As for electrically produced fab
TICS, DR.. Fink stated that by
using a phenomenon called electro
phoresis-concernlng the migration
OF particles in a solution feom one
part TO another brought on by an
electric field-cloth as good as
wool or cotton may be produced.
In other words, milady OF the

FARM PROBLEMS

With nearly. 100000 of the ma
tons farm families lacking stable
tenure, their land eroding. their
income. housing and health at a
low level, the nation is facing an
urgent social problem. O..
Their damaged morale may be a
threat 10 the nations defense pro
gram.
These are exactly the kind. OF
disheartened people to whom
spreaders OF discomfort can APP
peal most effectively. Their in
terest in the defense Of America
would be must greater if they had
more OF a stake in the country.
The idea OF farming land until it
wears out and then moving 10 other
farms, worked after a fashion so
long as there was. plenty Of free
land, but today it simply is a form
of national suicide.
Virtually all of the good land is
settled today and farmers no long
er can move West from an over
crowded country TO carve new
homesteads out of the frontier.
Nearly half OF the nations farm
ers are either tenants or share
CHOPPERS and their numbers have
beer increasing at the rate of
10000 families a year.
One third, or nearly a million
of these families, move every year
ID other farms. causing a constant
drain on both the standards of liv-
ing Of the people and the value of
the farms they occupy.
OF the 4l4,000 600 acres OF crop
land, some l00,000,000 acres have
been seriously impoverished by
washing away OF topsoil while an
ctheS 100000, 900 acres are losing
their fertility at rapid rate, gov
eminent reports show.
Mechanization has cut the de-
mand for farm workers by 1,600, 900
from 1880 which means that many
thousands of farm families either
are unemployed or can find only
a few weeks work a year.

Yitamin Content

The most important nutritional
advantages Of the tomato consist
in its vitamin content. 1t has as
high Vitamin C (anti-scurvy) as
orange juice. Canned tomato juice
can be used instead Of orange
juice for infant feeding.
1t has also been found that the
tomato contains good amounts Of
Vitamin b., which everybody
seems to be anxious to obtain now
adays, so much so that they are
talking about adding 1t to stand
ard food products, such as bread.
Since you can get plenty Of II in
the tomato there is no use intro
ducing it artificially into white
-four. A prominent dietary au-
thority says that tomatoes may be
regarded, from nutritional
standpoint, as one Of the most
palatable solutions Of the three
vitamins. He referred to A, B.
and c.
Recent research has shown that
tomatoes contain appreciable
quantities of Vitamin G, now
known as ribofavin.
Most Of the vitamins Of the to-
mato are contained in the pulp.
Spider Marks on Skin
What can be done for the So
called spider or sky rocket marks
on the skin?
These are due TO small veins
which have dilated. They are
found sometimes on the face, and
almost invariably on the legs
which have varicose veins. They
are difficult to treat but cause lit
tie trouble. Dermatologists have
found that when the fine dilata-
tons converge towards a central
point, this may be entered with a
small needle, which destroys the
entire pattern.

And now what do you think,
And doesn't sleep a wink!'
Everywhere he went Sammy Jay
heard that shouted after him. Doz-
ems and dozens of times day he
heard it. At first he lost his temper
and was the very maddest ,jaybird
ever seen on the Green Meadows or
in the Green Forest.
1T isn't true! 1t isn't true! 1t
isn't true!" he would scream at the
top of his lungs.
And then everybody within hear
ing would shout, 1T is true!"
Sammy would just dance up and
down and scream and scream and
scream, he was so angry. And then
he was sure to hear some one pipe
up:
''Sammy's mad and we are glad.
And we know how to tease him,
But For asEh eSn ooms and and seize sst fnh
That really began to worry him.
At first he had thought 1t was all
a joke on the part of the little peo-
pie of the Green Forest and the
Green Meadows, and that they had
made up the story about hearing
him in the night. Then he began
to think that 1t might be true that
he did talk in his sleep, and this
worried him a whole lot, for it he
did that Hooty the Owl would surely
find him sooner or later, and in the
morning there wouldn't be anything
left of him but a few feathers from
his fine coat.
The more he thought about it the
more worried Sammy Jay became.
He lost his appetite and began to
grow thin. He kept out of sight
whenever possible, and no longer
screamed Thief! Thief" through
the Green Forest. In fact his voice
was rarely heard during the day.
But it seemed that he must be talk
ing Just as much as ever IN the
night. At least everybody said that
he was.
Worse still. different ones said that
they heard him in different places
in the Green Forest, and even down
on the Green Meadows. Could 1t be
that he was flying about as we'll as
talking in his sleep? And nobody
believed him when he said that he
was asleep all night. They thought
that he was awake and doing it
purposely. They might have known
that he couldn't see in the night,
for his eyes are made for daylight,
not for darkness, like the eyes of
Boomer the Nighthawk and Hooty
the Owl. But they didn't seem to
think of this, and insisted that al
most every night they heard him
down in the alders along the Laugh
ing Brook, yet every morning when
he awoke Sammy would find him.
self Just where he went to sleep the
night before, safely hidden in the
thickest part of a big tree.
IF they are not all crazy then
I must be-" said Sammy Jay to him.
self as he turned away from the
breakfast which he could not eat.
Then he had a happy idea. why
didn't I think of it before? I'll
sleep all day and then I'll keep
awake all night and see what hap
pens thenr' he exclaimed.
So Sammy Jay hurried away to
the darkest part of the Green For
est and tried to sleep through the
day.
