SCIENCE AT WORK
ON FARM PROBLEMS
More Things Done for Farmer
Than Ever Before.
Wilmington, Del.?Contributions science
Is making to agriculture are re- |
viewed in n statement Issued here from
the office of the Du Font Agricultural
News Letter.
"A survey of the efforts of scientists
shows that more things are now being
done by science for the farmer than
ever before," It Is stated. "Better
and more economical fertilizers have
become available by the development
of synthetic processes for producing
urea In adequate quantities. Chemicals
never before used In fertilizers
are being added to meet deficiencies
of plant foods In soils of various types.
"Entirely new and different Insecticides
are being produced from fatty
alcohols, and research In the Held of
organic chemicals Is expected to provide
Insecticides which, although deadly
to insects, will be safe in all respects
to man. Improvements in the
application of sprays and extension of
the time limit of effectiveness of insecticides
have been achieved through
the development of new sticking,
spreading and welting agents. _J"Organic
mercury dusts for seed dls- |
infection, developed by research chemists,
show control of various plant dis- ;
eases which once could not ho con- j
trolled. These disinfectants arc proving
so effective that seed treatment
gives promise of being adopted as a '
regular farm practice, just as has been j
the use of commercial fertilizers.
"Entomologists are giving consider- [
ation to tin* use of motion pictures in
colors for the study of major Insect
pests. |
"X ray photography is being used not
only in animal husbandry and poultry |
work, hut is also being applied .to
the study of insects and for exnmlna- |
tion of seeds to determine changes ,
made in seeds by subjecting them to
the action of X rays and lights of different
colors. I
"Otherwise, the resources of science
are being devoted to significant advances
along agricultural lines. Large
sums are being spent for research by
federal, state and commercial agencies.
Mnny scientists are busily engaged
with Investigations. The results of
these expenditures and efforts cannot
but be of tremendous value to the
fnrmers of the nation."

KNOW ANY BIGGER?
This almost unbelievable narrative
comes from J. N. Fitts, Storrs, Conn.,
and was related to him by his niece
who is the heroine in the tale and
who tells it in her own words:
Bill and I were one-arm autoing
down the river road to a ferry, in
order to attend a football game, up
on the other side. On a precipitous
cliff we picked up an Austin on our
bumper }ust before side-swiping a
large truck. The Austin collapsed
into a good motorcycle and sped away.
The truck driver, still asleep, drove
on. While our car shot over the cliff
landing squarely upon the smokestack
of a passing steamboat.
Bumping the smokestack started the
boat capsizing and also punctured the
boiler causing it to explode, throwing
us again into the air and to the opposite
shore. Here we landed unharmed
upon a flat freight car heavily
loaded with loose white feathers. Our
impact started the freight car out
upon the main track and on up the
river. (lathering speed on the upgrade

not our car or the feathers. We hurdled
that bumper and slid 2,000 feet to
the very gate of the football field
where Bill and I moulted before making
a touchdown at the ticket window.
But, woe of woes, a whirlwind picked
up that carload of white feathers
and carried them directly over the
stadium, obscuring the sun. The game
was called off on account of an impending
snowstorm. Groping our
