Mystery

By JESSE GREEN

A6OOI 1851 a Shipment OF
sweet clover in the original i'm
porter's bags was delivered to the
elevator at Twin Bridges. In
three or four years a strange
spreading plant had just about
covered one of the farms at Wa
terloo where the imported seed
had been sold.
The new plant was doing ex-
ceptionally well on the low lands
containing considerable alkali
salts. 1t was very palatable to
livestock that kept it eaten into
the ground.
A bulletin was published at
Montana State College in 1885,
showing that the plant was higher
in PHOSPHORUS than other plants
of the region. 1t was a typical
legume with an abundant setting
of nodules on its roots, and as it
was member of the astragulus
family, it was called Astragulus
Rubyi, from the Ruby Valley
where it was found.
Attempts were made to deter
mine its origin. When it was first
discovered, there were no known
occurances of the plant at other
locations or in the literature. 1t
was only in recent years that
translations from Russian botani-
cal journals showed the plant to
be native of Russian Turkestan.
1t is thus believed that the i'm
ported bags of sweet clover seed
sold at Twin Bridges contained
some Astragulus Rubyi.
Since 1880, the plant has oc-

The 1851 series of experiments
with full-scale atomic weapons
at Eniwetok Atoll included use Of
structures Stimulating sections of
factories, Office buildings and

The reference to two frame
dwellings being used in the test
next month suggested that one
might be spotted close in toward
ground zero" the point above
which the bombs bursts. with the
other farther out in the radius
of damage to demonstrate the
varying effects with distance.
The same procedure seemed
likely for the bomb shelters, with
the additional feature that they
also might be located at various
depths and utilize different types
of construction.
Usually IN the oetonatlon of
