 The site of the incident was given as 25 miles east of the Siberian Peninsula in the North Pacific.

We all know that the foods we eat
can make a difference in our health.
We know, too, that the amount of
work we're doing can make difference
in our hunger. We're hungrier in the
rush of haying or harvest than we are
when work is lighter.
Our crops are the same. They have
to be fed right if we want them to pro-
duce well. Best example | ever saw to
make that point clear was on one of the
farms / visited this fall. We were on a
road with corn on both sides. But one
side was good, the other poor. The
difference? Field fertility. The poor
field had history of heavy cropping.
The good field was planted on Ranger
Alfalfa ground with the right amounts
of balanced fertilizer added.
You know, there's lot of good yield
bred into every kernel of Kingscrost
Hybrid Seed Corn. But the way to get
as much as possible out of that Kings
crost is to provide" for it properly.
Use a good legume or grass rotation.
Use fertilizer, too, where it's called for.
I've seen plenty of farmers come up
with good yields year after year
under almost any growing conditions
you could namely following this
practice.

Ever try to see how long you can
hold your breath? Not long, because

you'll be hungry. Plants need food too.
They get much of their oxygen, food
and water from the soil. That's why
and humus, open up the soil SO corn
can breathe better, and increase the
amount of water the soil can hold.
That's why NORTHLAND grasses
and legumes are available at your local

crops.

Maybe you'd like to hear of some
of the new hybrids Northrup Kings
corn breeders have developed. One of
them is KS4. It's intended for use
where a slightly earlier corn than KS6
is needed. 1t has good spring vigor and
plant equally as good as KS6. 1t
natures bit earlier and has fast
drying quality that makes earlier crib
bling possible.
Another is XII. It's a companion
corn for KT-where a slightly later
corn is wanted. 1t has a very vigorous
spring growth and leafy shorter plant
than KIT. 1t develops good cylindri-
cal ear with excellent diameter. And
it seems to us it's going to have the
same wide adaptation as KIT.
Still a third is KE7-a companion
corn to KE2 which SO many farmers
grow and like. Again you get fast,
vigorous spring growth. In the summer
you get strong erect high-eared plant.
The ear is of good diameter, with
deep kernel and a high Smelling per-
centage.
All three of these newly developed
Kingscrost hybrids are available. Ask
your nearby Northrup King dealer
about them for use on your place.

TILLING WITH CHEMICALS.
Tests have been conducted in which
grass and clover plots have been
sprayed with a combination of q
AID and TEA and crops of winter
wheat and corn planted right in

were good. Row crops needed no
further tillage between rows to con-
troll weeds, and existing mulch was
beneficial in maintaining filth and
conserving moisture. The practice
may be particularly effective in
cropping slopes which normally pre-
sent serious erosion hazards.

This and That .

A correspondent. speaking Of a novel
he had written, says:
"It was deposited, still sealed, in the
bottom Of our trunk, where it will rest
undiSturbed."
This is the fate, undoubtedly, of
thousands of manuscripts, novels and
others.
No doubt in many cases the fate is
deserved.
Just few, perhaps, ought to be res
cued from such oblivion
For the novel, despite the number of
persons who do it successfully, is the
most difficult Of all things to write.
The range of the English novel is so
wide that it would seem that almost
any literate person could attempt it.
Well, maybe they can start-it is
carrying the thing out that is difficult,
and especially the ending.
What is novel; after all, but
story?
The range, the width, comes in when
one compares such a work as From
Here to Eternity" with 1.-The Golden
Bowl" There would seem to be little
relationship.
Basically, all novels are narratives.
and at times it would seem that those
practitioners who depart too far from
the story do the worst jobs.

Perhaps there is no one alive who
does not have some time of his own

by writing a novel as doing anything
else.
Hence the work grows: in most in
stances, it is never finished. 1t is
pushed to the back of the drawer. and
forgotten, or treated with hesitant
timidity.
The author, after many months or
years. at last decides to look it over.
He finds it pretty poor. really.
He decides his judgment was good,
when he laid it away for good. Not
that some parts are not all right; he
rejoices over them; he bushes over
others.
So he tears the thing up, and quietly
drops it into the wastebasket. No
doubt that was where it should have
gone in the first place. For the writ
ing of novel is very difficult thing.
It calls for more imagination than
most persons have. and above all it
demands more freedom from bond
age to others. Unless one is ruthless,
he will never be able to write novel.
and he might as well admit it before
he begins. But If he has begun-and
finished-the bottom Of the trunk calls

Federal Fair Play

II Congress believes in fair play for the
District of Columbia, 1t will heed Senator
DirkSen's advice not to eighty nut aside"
Budget Officer Fowlers persuasive arguments
for larger Federal share in the cost of run
ming the District Government. Mr.. Fowler made
a good statement before Senate Appropriations
subcommittee for a fiscal formula based on
Federal land occupancy in the District. The
plan would end the present hit-or-miss guess
work arrangement for fixing the Federal share
an arrangement which has brought the Fed
eral payment toward its local obligations to an
all-time low percentage.
Under the Fowler proposal the Federal
obligation would rise from the per cent level
of today to about Is per cent. This would
entail Federal appropriation of approximately
$685. million instead of the $12 million provided
in the 1947 District Revenue Act Even the
latter figure was chiseled down last year in an
unjustified economy" move. The House has
voted to restore the full amount The 18
per cent suggested by Mr.. Fowler would be
based on the ratio of Federal property holdings
to taxable land in Washington, with due allow
ances for District use of certain Federal facil-
tiles. The figure is low compared with the
$3.50 division of District costs which prevailed
for many years.
Chairman Dirksen said he thought a change
In the basic law governing Federal-District
fiscal relations to effect such formula as that

statement. It is so essential to the future
growth of the Nations Capital that Congress,

District, should see to it that justice is done
at this session.

To hold up a narrative for talk, even
relevant talk, Is to run a certain risk.
OFlaherty's story, THE Informer,"
takes the reader right along with it;
the narrative sweep is unimpeded.
The lengthy novels of Thomas Wolfe
simply have too many words in them
for movement.
The same may be said of "Sironia,
Tex.?" which stayed in the best-seller
lists for a few weeks only, and that
only because some readers were inter-
ested in its tremendous length.
A motion picture is spread before the
eyes. but the novel as narrative must
cause the reader to make his own mo-
ton picture.
He does this as he reads, and any in
terruption. either from outside or in
side, in the telling causes his picture
to Jump, at times to cease entirely.
That is why serialization of a novel
cannot compete with quick reading.
and even personal reading must be
basically uninterrupted. That is why
the best novel writing is done at white
heat, and the best reading in much the
same fashion.

License number is 57-444. The addi-

the license was issued in December,

he has been let down-and hardly some mem

Mr.. Lyon is an eminently fortnight and
perhaps competent man. But in view of his

The President, of course, cannot be expected
