the huge audience, but deeply
personal interest in the props,

covered her teen-aged daughter
smuggling a lamp and pictures out

see them onstage. The leading

all incidentally. has not a little of
Lynn Fontanne in her person and
performance, her dark hair. with
the familiar faint sideburns. and
delicately planed face, and the in
sinuating purr of her voice bearing
a delightful resemblance.
Between the.acts, we heard that
Ruth Bryant Smith is home from
Hollywood, Carl McCardle from

Morning, noon and night in
suburbia: Sometimes the roots
of a garden club go deeper than
those of mere plant life, they
reach out and touch worlds un-
known. The Great Falls Garden
Club recently read a letter from
Betsy Denis, one of its members
now in Austria, who had received
a large box of clothes from the
club and distributed them to dis
placed persons. She wrote
deeply affecting account Of a
Yugoslavian lad who, with his
father dead and his mother i'll,
had become the head of a family
Of six younger brothers and sis
ters, Of his youthful dignity, his
overwhelming gratitude for the
garments. To sit in such a house
as the Wade Dorsetts, which was
built according to the dreams of
the owners, and which is filled
with the treasures of the past and
hopes Of the future, listening to
such a letter makes the plight
Of the little Peters and MargaS
and Claras even more poignant.
Everyday annoyances suddenly
become shamefully trivial before
the image of such a battle for
survival.

Carl Ingling, who is with the
Soil Conservation Service at Fred
erick, Md. has a little project or
foot which he thinks will help
revitalize the Nation.
Carl is getting all set up to
bring back from the sea the min
erals and trace elements that have
washed off the land and to make
them available to man and beast
He is doing it with salt.
The idea was long time taking
shape Carl first began to think
about the craving for seafood that
occurred every now and then with
his family. He reasoned there
must be something in seafood
which the human body needs but
which is not present in the over
purified food generally available.
He thought that if he could use
sea salt, it should contain all of
the elements in fish, oysters and
scallops-and more, too. 1t would
relieve that craving for seafood
and should assure the body of all
the Elements needed for good
health.
The next step was to find a
source of sea salt. 1t wasn't easy
and necessitated correspondence
with almost every big and little
salt company in the country.
1t seems that sea salt is not

that would sell him some sea salt
He put In an order and went
home to tell Mrs. Ingling to clear
off the pantry shelves.
You had better clear some
space. I've ordered some salt" he
told her.
How much" was the reply.
only a ton," he said.
The salt came In, and the In
Cling family started using it. They
have noticed there is no longer a
periodic craving for seafood.
Carl began giving the sea salt
to his purebred Ayrshire cows, and
he says that since they have been
getting this mineralized salt there
has been no breeding trouble in
his herd. r..
He gave me bag, and we start
ed eating it on The 40 Acres. We
like the fiavor-it seems to have
more body than other salt-and
our cows and the filly seem to
like it.
We haven't had time to tell
whether our health is better, but
so far. we haven't come down with
the flu that has been taking the
countryside.
Maybe it is those traces of gold.
and mercury, and radium. or some
OF the other 40-odd elements that
have been found in sea salt that
are doing the trick. Anyway, we
like it.

While milky disease spore pow
der has been available for a num-
Der of years, no concerted use was
made of it by private interests
until the fall of 1947. At that time
a citizens association in Washing
ton sponsored community project
in this area. The following spring
the Wesley Heights-Spring Valley
Garden Club and Is citizens as
sociations took up the idea and
sponsored beetle drives in their
respective territories. Various
other garden clubs supported the
program. Before operations ter
minated in December of 1948 (the
powder may be applied at any time
except when the ground is frozen
or snow covered) approximately
40 organized drives had been sue
cesSfully conducted. Fifty other
residential areas were treated in
1949. all in the Metropolitan Area
of Washington.
Before the first campaign was
launched in 1947, the Agriculture
Department made tests throughout
the area and found an average of
Is grubs per square foot. Eighteen
months later the department found
an average of only one per foot.
This reduction in the grub popula-
ton exceeded 80 per cent. In large
areas treated experimentally in the
early years of the development of
the milky disease process, beetle
damage now is slight and decreas-
ing.
In the l947 drive about so per
cent of the property owners took
part. In 1948 about rs per cent
participated. In 194s, because of
greater public knowledge of milky
disease and its effects, no cam
paign was supported by less than
80 per cent of the owners and the

". P. |. to Chart
Phosphorus Use

First shipments of radioactive
fertilizers to be used in research
at the Virginia Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station have been re-
ceived. and work will begin i'm
mediately. according to DR.. S. S.
Obenshain, agronomist.
This fertilizer will be applied
to alfalfa plots in a study to
chart the course of phosphorus,
and to find out when and how
much of the phosphorus Is actu-
ally used by the crop.
Only to 20 percent of phos-
phorus available in the soil. or
applied as commercial fertilizer,
is used by any crop. Phosphorus
thus, is known as a fertilizer
with low availability"
If researchers can find a way
of upping the availability of
phosphorus, it will mean an an
lIddA od fiilS VI OEfCA al llAlilOIi VII
lars. Virginia farmers spend
about s10,0O0,000 each year for
phosphorus.
Other studies with radioactive
fertilizers planned at v. P. I. aim
to:
Find out if the ammoniation
process commonly used in manu-
featuring mixed fertilizers de-
creases the availability of phos-
phate. The test crop here will
be corn.
Find out how lining, and the
depth of phosphate placement in
the soil, affects the rate and speed
of the downward growth of al
falfa roots.
Compare the availabilities of
water soluble phosphate fertili-
zers with conventional citrate
phosphate fertilizers. The test
crop will be sudan grass.
