Tear Gas Benefits Soil;
DESTROYS Plant Disoase

Cornell university plant doctors-
the plant pathologists-are using
tear gas in q new way. They inject
it into the soil OF flower gardens.
where it destroys many Of the or
ganisms that cause plant diseases.
The experiments, after three years,
have reached = semi-commerciAI
stage. They are conducted IA the
department Of plant pathology By
f. L. Stark Jr. and DR.. A. G. New
hall.
The tear gas is injected IN shots
Of about a good-sized thimbleful
each, in holes three inches deep md
staggered about 10 inches apart.
This is done before anything II
planted, for the tear gas will destroy
all growth. II Is very effective IN
killing all weeds. There are no bod
after effects on the fertility or the
soil itself, and after three or four
weeks the ground is ready for plant
ing.
The gas kills wilt and rot fungi
organisms which normally have tho
staying power to lie In the soil tor
five or xix years and still Be able
to attack plants. The gas i partic-
ularly effective against nematodss
which are barely visible, hair hG
organisms that cause knots on roots

Vitamin A in Apricots

Babies born with a silver spoon
In their mouths are pretty apt to
find cod liver oil in the spoon-so
cxacting are the demands for vita
min values these days.
Most youngsters are given cod
liver oil or other vitamin A and D
concentrates from the end of their
second week until they are four or
five years old.
Babies have no corner on the vita
minis, however, for adults are turn
ing to them increasingly often.
Sometimes we almost forget that
vitamins can be found in foods as
well as in tablets at the drug store.
One Of our most outstanding vita
min A foods is dried apricots. Their
average vitamin A content is 1879
international units per 100 grams.
BY grams is the way the dietitians
and doctors figure it, but we house
wives are accustomed to buying food
by pounds. Since there are Asa. SO
grams in pound, we'll find 34,378
international units of vitamin A in a
single pound of dried apricots as
they come from the grocer's
shelves.

Opportunities Are SIN Here

Several years ago Joseph Michel
man Of Roxbury, Mass, only three
years out Of Harvard, extracted dog
ems Of scientifically and CONNER
cially valuable products out OF old
shoes and scrap leather. The al
chemist OF old failed to transmute
base metals into gold, but Michel
man succeeded In making gold in
directly from old shoes. Among 9TH
er things he extracted from old
shoes, chrome oxide green, the only
perfectly permanent green known.
Then he obtained animal charcoal,

developer; indole, a perfume base
and principal component Of jas
mine; an antiseptic better than iodo-
form; tropacocaine, local anes-
