For many years, scientists at
one of Americas leading Plant
Experiment Stations have been
testing new types of concen-
trated plant foods-plant foods
that contain all of the 13 vital
soil elements necessary for plant
ife-plant foods that could be
dissolved in ordinary sink water,
and when sprinkled on lawns or
plants could go to work in
minutes.
Finally in the spring of 1851
these scientists added traces of
radioactive isotopes to these new
types of liquid plant foods to see
how fast they could reach every
root, every leaf, every stem,
every tissue. The solution was
applied to roots of ordinary

Meantime, plant scientists at a
western research laboratory
made a second astonishing dis
covery! They found that when
dissolved in water this highly
concentrated plant food of RX-15
type becomes so readily available
to plants-that you don't even
have to work heavy fertilizers
into the soil. Late in the summer
of 1852 they discovered that
when certain trace elements were
added to that plant food in a
special way (NUTREGENE
PROCESS) you could merely
sprinkle it on leaves of mineral
starved plants and see bloom you
never dreamed possible. Because
not only do the leaves instantly
absorb the vital iron, copper,
manganese, zinc, nitrogen and
other minerals in the plant food
but even more important auto

triton to the vital mineral
starved parts of the plant where
it is most needed.

plants. Exactly Is minutes later
leaves were cut off and pressed
against radio-sensitive film. Now
look at the picture below, left!
Look at the light, bright areas
on the leaf and stem! 1t proves
that this liquid type of plant
food is so highly effective, so fast
acting that it is absorbed by
roots and reaches vital growing
tips of leaves not in weeks, not
in months, but in exactly Is
minutes.

BY The Assoeiotsd Press

The National Temperance

bases"
John Hannah, Assistant Sec

congressional advice will be

be eliminated in military messes
Mr.. Wallace expressed hope

Farm Goods Sales Rise,
But Income Drops 5 PET.
BY the Assoeioted Press

The Agriculture Department
says farm sales were slightly
bigger during the first 10 months
of 1858 than in the same period
last year, but the farmer received
5 per cent less cash.
The department report yester-
day said the decline, to a total
of $24.8 billion, was caused by
lower prices.
However. it said the consumer
paid more for goods in general,
with prices of industrial goods
rising slightly to balance the
lower prices of farm goods. The
report also noted a small boost
in charges for transportation,
rent. medical care and other
services.
1t said farm receipts from
meat animals declined per cent
and for crops 2 per cent.

Prompt Payments
Save Penalties
Says Director

Many individual taxpayers may
be subjecting themselves to penal
ties provided by the Internal Rev.
enue Code because of either late
payments or failure to file a reas-
onably accurate declaration of
estimated income tax. This was
emphasized by Internal Revenue
Director Nathaniel LOCKER, in
calling the attention of taxpayers
to the Importance of making their
quarterly payment of estimated in
come tax not later than midnight,
Tuesday, September Is.
Taxpayers will find 1t to their
interest to be prompt in payment
as well as reasonably accurate in
the declarations of estimated in
come tax or amendments they
file," said the Director, for pen
alties are provided by the Internal
Revenue Code if either the dec
larations or payments are late, or
if the tt has been substantially
underestimated."
The Director also pointed out
that the following additional Fed
eral tax obligations must be met
on the same date:
Employers withholding over
500 Federal income tax and
Federal old age benefits taxi dur
ing either of the first two months
of the quarter pay amount to
authorized depository:
Separate information returns of
shareholders and officers and di-
rectors of foreign corporations
which are foreign personal hold
ing companies;
Statements and records of de-
positories on sales of stamps;
Quarterly payments on corpora
ton income and excess profits
taxes. #
All of these returns must be fill
ed by midnight of September Is.
Director LOCKER also pointed
out the recent change from
monthly to quarterly returns for
excise taxes. Under the new sys-
tenn, no filing is necessary in Sep
tember, but the tax return cover
ing July, August and September,
must be filed by October 81.

Soldier SeFibes
Print News In
Many Tongues

SEOUL~-Arnly newsmen in the
Far East are in a tongue-twisting
business that makes Peter Piper
look pale as papyrus.
Troop Information and Educa-
ton editors who put out the Ar
my's unit newspapers go to press
in many languages in order to
keep attached United Nations un-
its abreast of the news.
The Third Infantry Division, for
instance, has been energetic in
bringing out multi-lingual news
papers. The division at various
times has published editions in
Korean, French, Flemish, Spanish
and Greek.
The Third Infantry Division
paper was the first of many to
bring out Korean edition. It was
putting out Korean-language edi-
tions as early as September, 1850,
in Japan.
Since then, soldiers of many
tongues have been able to read
the news in their own language,
courtesy of the Army papers.
A common Army newspaper
practice is to print items side by
side in two languages, or to use
one page for the English-speaking
readers and the next for the at
tached foreign units.
The 25th Infantry Divisions
Tropic Lightning News, for ex-
ample, carries stories in English,
Turkish and Korean. A weekly, it
is edited and proofread by Ameri-
cans who speak neither Turkish
nor Korean, and hand set by Ko-
reans who speak neither English
nor Turkish.
The problems of the Tropic
Lightning News are typical. The
printers make mistakes, of course,
because they are familiar with
only one of three languages.
But they make fewer miscues
in setting Turkish copy than they
do either on English or their own
Korean.
In the English and Korean copy,
they sometimes assume they re-
cognize word from the first two
or three letters without checking
further, Mistakes crop up when
the guess is wrong.

Until recently the sea has been
called the lost unknown, but with
the invention of the aqua-lung ten
years ago and its constant i'm
provement by two young French
naval officers, this strange world
is yielding to mankind its Sec
retS.
with this strange new device,
the aqua lung, it has been pos
sible to dive as far as 316 feet
into the ocean. This has revealed
sights never before seen by man,
- the beautiful corals, sponges,
and other growths far under the
surface, and the strange fishes!

freely to great depths has great
commercial value in the salvag-
