Reserve Tanks

Gasoline drop tanks which hold
extra gasoline for fighters and
bombers on long trips and which
are dropped when empty are rem
dered leakproof by slushing 30 gal
Ions of special zinc chromate
primer paint in the interior of each
tank by means of a rotating machine
as first step in making them leak
proof. The surplus paint then is
drained out and the exterior of the
tank thoroughly cleaned with hot
cleaning compound before being
passed through drying oven. Next,
without leaving conveyor, the
tanks pass through paint spray
booths where two primer coats and
a camoufage coat of paint are ap-
piled to the exterior. A girl puts on
decalcomania markings and final
special protective coating is then
sprayed on as finish coat before
the tanks are sent to the shipping
room for Grating and shipping.

Row FertiliZing

On large plots where the rows are
widely spaced, it is more econom-
ical to apply plant food to the row,
rather than broadcast it over the
entire garden area. Exhaustive
placement tests indicate that the
very best results are achieved when
the plant food is placed in burrows
two inches to each side of the seed
row. The plant food burrows should
be deep enough to allow the placing
of the plant food l to III inches be-
low the planted seed or seed piece.
Plant food should be applied at
the rate of one quart 1.-TWO pounds)
per so feet of row that is, one
pint Zone pound) on each side of
the SO feet of row. Under this
method of row fertilizing, the seed
is planted first and covered while
the string row marker is in place.
The plant food burrows are then
made, the plant food distributed in
them, and covered.

Claim Turkey Pullorum
Disease Is Eradicated

Pullorun disease of turkeys,
which has caused heavy losses to
growers in California, may be eradi-
Gated by the adoption of proper con-
troll measures, it is said.
Working with the Ramona Turkey
Growers association in San Diego
county, the college of agriculture of
California university started four
years ago to clean up the f1ocks of
its members, whose birds at that
time had about SO per cent infection.
In four years, by obtaining eggs only
from free-on-first-t fiocks, Matched
in a hatchery which accepts only
such eggs, the disease has been en-
tirely eradicated. A non-co-operat-
ing group which had about the same
percentage of infection four years
ago, had but 20 per cent of its flocks
free from disease at the end of four
years and spent 5000 for replace
ment of infected birds.
The disease is found in the repro
ductive organs of the birds, and is
transmitted through the eggs when
they are Matched.

Cotton Dedicated During
Greenhouse Growing Test

A successful cotton crop was re-
Gently harvested at Stamford, Conn.,,
in greenhouse under the supervi-
sion of scientists at work in the Re-
search Laboratories of American
Cyanamid company.
Close laboratory control was nee
essary in order to observe the life
habits of cotton plants from seeding
time to harvest. Time lapse movie
cameras recorded the life cycle of
plant growth. Experiments were
also made to observe the effect Of
chemical which causes premature
defoliation. :
The defoliation of cotton plants
has become of special interest to cot
ton growers who want leafess cot
ton so they can use mechanical har-
vesters in place of hand labor.
More attention to plant breeding
and chemical treatment in the grow
ing of cotton promises to keep it
in line with cellulose and synthetic
fibers after the war is over. Many
areas in the cotton belt feel sure
that research holds the answer to
future economic problems in the cot
ton industry.

Grandstands Fell in
Classic Roman Times

Such modern disasters as col
lapsing grandstands and senatorial
investigations are not really mod
ern. The "Annals of Tacitus" re-
late that an amphitheater at Fidena
was not laid in solid ground and
that the fastenings of the wooden
structure above were insecure, due
to some graft on the part of con-
tractor named Atilius.
While watching gladiatorial
show, a vast crowd of human be-
ings, intent on the spectacle or
standing about, fell with the collaps-
ing structure and were buried in the
ruins. Fifty thousand persons were
manned or crushed to death in the
disaster, Tacitus records, indicating
that there is nothing new in ex-
aggeration either.
The sequel was an investigation
by the Roman senate, which
finally decreed that no person with
less than 100000 sesterces in good
hard cash should present a gladia-
torial exhibition and that no more
amphitheaters should be built except
on tested ground.

Civil War Vet Similar to
Present u. S. Doughbov

Johnny Doughboy of 1943 and
Johnny Doughboy of 1864 have much
in common, according to the diary of
Civil War Sergt. Luke Davis, copy
of which was just presented to the
Pennsylvania State College library
by S. K. Stevens, state historian.
Writing and receiving letters and
exchanging pictures with friends
kept up Davis morale in 1864, just
as they keep up the serviceman's
morale today. Health good and
spirits fine" ended most daily en-
tries.
He had his gripping moments, too,
however For example, instead of
being able to celebrate the day he
was made a sergeant-March 10,
1864-he was on guard duty that
evening.
In common with American dough-
boys of every war, he was gener-
Gus, lending considerable sums of
money to his friends and the cap
tain; and he practiced American
craftsmanship, often selling an arti-
Gle of clothing, such as a pair of
boots, one day and buying new ones
the next.

Early OPA


AS long ago as 1914, the English
parliament resorted to price fixing
in wartime. During the war be-
tween England and Scotland, the
price of a fat OK was set by law at
81, COW at So, a fat hog at 83 cents
and a sheep at 20 cents. A couple
of chickens brought two cents, a
goose five cents and eggs were linn
tied to one cent dozen.
Arabic land in Kent rented from
six to IL cents an acre, pasture at
two cents and meadowland from
to 20 cents.
Two centuries later ale sold for
four cents a gallon and a laborer
was paid from five to seven cents
day. BY the reign of Elizabeth
price levels had risen substantially.
A country house rented for 81 to
$3.50 a year and could be bought
for $25 or $50. Wheat was Is cents a
bushel, an OK $3.50. Claret sold for
five cents a quart and red port for
six cents. Wages had gone up too.
A laborer was paid 8 to II cents a
day.

Install Mechanical Cow
On Army Transport

A sea-going mechanical COW,
guaranteed to produce 40 gallons of
emulsified milk or cream in an hour,
was recently installed on an army
transport. The mechanical COW OPP
crates with equal efficiency in the
Arctic or the tropics-in high seas
or calm waters.
Centrifugal force, cunningly ap-
piled in the interior of the robot
COW, does the work. Into the gleam-
ing cylinder is poured sweet butter,
milk powder and water. Gauges are
set and milk of any desired butter
fat content is produced.
When everything is ready, but
ton IS pushed, a motor huns softly.
A pressure of more than 300 pounds
to the square inch is exerted by CEN
trifugal force. This breaks up the
fat globules, emulsifies the product.
The result is pure milk of per cent
butter fat-or cream, from 80 to So
per cent.
Milk from the mechanical COW
contains a higher per cent of butter
fat than is found in the milk of any
local dairy-and it's absolutely pure.
1t contains the vitamins and calcium
found in raw milk. The milk can
not sour. Products for the making
OF the milk are easily stored, re-
curing little space.

Grindstone Breaks Beet
Seed Cluster; Saves Labor

Because science "put it's nose to
the grindstone," sugar beet grow
ers of the United States saved more
than three million man-hours of la
Dor in 1943-and even more signifi-
cant gains lie ahead.
The problem arose from the fact
that the seed of the sugar beet is
not a single cell, but rather a group
of cells held together in cluster.
The seed cluster is hard, tight
ball, difficult to handle because it
is smaller than pea in size.
When beet seed clusters are plant
ed they may send up number of
sprouts, and since the beet needs
"elbow room" to grow and mature
it is necessary to go along the rows
and thin the stand so that only
single plants remain. Thinning has
always required hand work, and
there seemed no method of elimi
mating it unless the seed itself could
be changed.
Then came Professor Roy Banner
of the department of agricultural
engineering of the University of Cal
ifornia with a novel idea. He rugged
up device in which a grindstone
thrusts the seed against shearing
bar, and under the pressure thus
created the cluster splits into single
unit seeds. These single seeds can
be planted at regular intervals in
the row, and the thinning can be
done with long handled hoe, or
with a variety of mechanical tools
which require no hand labor what
ever. One of these tools is an adap-
tation of the recently developed cot
ton chopper, which consists essen
TALLY of revolving knives.

Mark Hanna

Marcus A. Hanna, born in 1887 at
New Lisbon, Ohio, became one of
the most colorful political leaders
of his time. AS chairman of the
Republican national committee in
1896, he conducted the presidential
campaign for William Mckinley,
and later for Theodore Roosevelt.
Hanna, as head of the M. A. Hanna
company, operating steamship and
coal business out Of Cleveland, Ohio,
pioneered the use of steel-hulled
steamships on the Great Lakes. In
1897 Hanna was appointed U. S. SEN
ator to succeed John Sherman. He
was elected in 1898, and again in
1904, the year of his death. Hanna
also was president of the Union Ma
tional Bank of Cleveland and the
Cleveland City Railway company.

The Morning Star

Pennies donated by Sunday school
children provided the funds to build
an auxiliary barkentine for the
American Board of Foreign Mis-
sions when they decided in 1884 to
carry light to the heather in the
Southern Pacific.
A peculiar characteristic of the
Morning Star, which was COM
bined sailing and steam craft, was
a mainmast which was a hollow
spar, serving both as mast for
the sail and a smoke stack.
In keeping with her religious pur-
pose, the fgurehead was a beauti-
fully carved, draped figure of a
woman holding a Bible in her left
hand. On the stern was a large
silver star radiating brilliant golden
rays.

Pick Mail on FLY

Picking up mail on the fly, as air.
planes do, is something like CATCH
ing big fish with a rod and reel.
A ten-foot hickory pole protruding
from beneath the plane holds the
pickup hook temporarily in posi-
ton for a "strike" as the pilot
swoops low over the ground station.
A loop of rope fastened to bullet
shaped mail container is draped
over two standards in the ground
so that it can be easily snagged.
At the moment of contact, line is
paid out from a winch or reel in
side the plane, and an automatic
brake gradually snubs the line, aft
er which the mail is hauled up by
an electric motor.

MANY NEW SOYA PRODUCTS
OFFERED

Housewives are finding some unfa-
miliar food materials on grocery
shelves, says the Agricultural Re-
search Administration of the U. 5.
Department of Agriculture-soya
-four and grits, soya pancake ana
muffin mixes, soya spaghetti and
noodles, and other products made in
part of soybean flour.
Some of the new soya products
are made by grinding soybeans di-
rectly after removing the hulls and
treating the soybeans with heat to
improve the flavor, protein value, and
keeping quality. This results in a
full fat" soya -four. If oil is extract
ed after the heat treatment, the
pressed material that is left is ground
up into Glow fat" -four or grits. Only
carefully selected and treated soy
beans are used in makeing these soy
bean food products and they are
| made in modern sanitary food plants.
| Whether or not the oil is extract
ed, the ground product retains all
/ the protein and minerals and most OF
the yitamins of the soybeans. The
protein of soybeans is of good quality
/ and is an exceptionally good supple
ment to the protein of wheat flour.
The need for more protein in war
time has led to greatly Increased
manufacture of soya flour and soya
grits, as well as many ready-to-use
mixtures containing them.
Soybean oil or fat, yielded by the
soybean has been extracted for some
time for use in shortcomings, cooking
and salad oils, margarines, and may
onnaise, and is also an important
food material for American tables.

Say Sulfa Drugs Cannot
Be Used Unfortunately

Sulfa drugs, though among the
foremost life-saving developments OF
this generation, may cause serious
nutritional disturbances IL used in
discriminatory.
G. A. Elvehjen and his associates
at the University Of Wisconsin have
reached that conclusion on the ba-
sis of animal experiments they have
been conducting with the drugs.
These men found that white rats,
fed ration on which they ordinarily
thrive, stop growing and develop VII
tamin deficiencies when certain sui
ia preparations are added to the
diet for several weeks. Indications
are that the drugs destroy intestinal
bacteria which aid nutrition by man.

Trials by Elvehjem and Beverly
Ransome show the i'll effects OF sue
cinyl sulfathiazole can be prevented
or cured by including in the diet
two of the "newer" B-complex vita
minis, biotin and folio acid. When
rats are not given the sulfa prepare
ton, they thrive on rations lacking
these vitamins.
In a study to learn what effect
sulfa drugs have on the intestinal
tract, Elvehjem, Elizabeth Mccoy
and Ola Cant learned they cause a
sharp decrease in the numbers of
certain bacteria normally present.
Changes not only occurred in the
contents of the intestinal tract, but
also in the cecum and colon them
selves.

Mexican Bank Provides
Credits for Co-Operatives

For many years the National Bank
of Ejidal Credit in Mexico, created
by President Lazaro Cardenas in
1896, and its predecessors, have been
providing members of ejidos, or CO.
operative groups of small farmers,
with credits for buying implements,
work animals, livestock and seeds.
In addition, it provides small farm
ers with training in scientific agri-
cultural methods, helps them to find
and organize markets for their prod
uce, attempts to improve their
health standards and provides them
with technical schools and other edu
cational facilities.
One of the chief tasks of the ag-
ricultural credit funds and banks
which preceded the Bank for Ejidal
Credit was to transform indentured
farm workers into self-respecting
farmers by fairer distribution of
the land. From 1910 to 1886 2,410,-
1896 former laborers were given title
or control over 55,216,530 acres of
land purchased by the government
for Redistribution.
Up to 1912 the ejidos, aided by
bank credits, had been able to ac-
quire SAC, 100000 worth of farm
equipment. This included l,029 trac-
tors; $50 drills; $4,000 cultivators;
1900 seeders; 81 cotton gins; 1872
mills and 208, 1000 plows.
In the same period 100000 oxen,
LOG, 900 mules, 114,OOO horses and
1l6, 1000 donkeys and mules were pro-
vided at cost of $43, 450,0 900. Live
stock, costing $50, 100000, included
309, 500 cows; 490,7O0 goats; 114,600
sheep and 1856, 500 pigs.

Butter Defects

Although Objectionable favors are
mostly noticeable in eating butter,
defects in body and structure also
are Objectionable and hurt the ap-

of the causes of these faults are in
adequate cooling of cream and ex-

Athenian Oath

The Ephebic or Athenian oath of
civil allegiance was taken by Athe-
MAN youths after completion of Sec
ondary education and before enter
ing upon military training. An adap-
tation of this oath is:
I'VE will never bring disgrace to
our city by any act of dishonesty or
cowardice, nor ever desert our suf-
fering comrades in the ranks; we
will fight for the ideals and sacred
things of the city, both alone and
with many; we will revere and obey
the city's laws and do our best to
incite like respect and reverence
in those about us who are prone
to annul them and set them at
naught; we will strive increasingly
to quicken the pub1ic's sense of civic
duty; and thus, in all these ways,
we will strive to transmit this city
not only not less, hut greater, bet
ter and more beautiful than it was
transmitted to u.s."

Soften Water

If the water is hard, you'll get
more cleaning power from soap If
you soften it with some chemical
as washing soda or trisodium phos-
phate. The arny's mobile field
laundries-the units that go right up
to the front lines to wash the SOL
dier's clothing-use a special soap
that will clean clothes in any kind
of water. Of course these field laun-
dries have to use any water they
can get, so a special soap is neces-
sary. But for home use it is more
economical to soften the water. Be
sure that the softener is completely
dissolved and evenly distributed
throughout the water before clothes
are added for washing.

Mix With Manure

To get best returns from fertiliz-
er applied to forage crops, dairy
men and poultrymen should get su-
perphosphate fertilizer this fall to
mix with winter-produced manure.
About 300 to 400 pounds of SUPER
phosphate for each COW, and 600
pounds for each 100 laying birds is
enough, agronomists say. This
should be used daily in the COW
stable at the rate of two pounds for
each COW, and in the poultry house
at the rate of 20 pounds a week for
every 100 birds.
This reinforced manure should be
applied to the land at one-half to
two-thirds the usual rate. This will
cover many more acres of land on
the farm, and improve crop yields
more than heavy applications Of ma
nure and fertilizer to fewer acres.

Maintain OH Balance

Test the soil and maintain cor
rect PHI (acid and alkaline balance
of the soiD for the crops you
wish to grow. For the average vege-
table garden, PHI range of 60 to
rs is satisfactory. At this PHI range
a greater proportion of the plant
food in the soil becomes available
and maximum growth and yields
are obtained. So do not lime your
soil until you have tested it. Over
lining results in too much alkalinity
and this is just as harmful as a too
acid condition. Simple soil testing
outfits are obtainable at small cost
from garden supply stores.
