(Each week in this space will be presented a picture
and word portrait ot someone whose name is news.)
• All over the United States people are ponder
ing their 1943 income tax payments. The man
who has general supervision over where their
money will go seems to be typical of the aver
age American. Accordingly, his name is Smith
—Harold D. Smith.
• He recently wrote a $100,000,000,000 budget,
one of his many duties as director of the budget.
He also develops accounting systems for gov
ernment agencies, inspects projects for pos
sible savings, reorganizes sections of the gov
ernment, and weighs agency requests for ap
propriations.
• Smith is a stocky, middle-sized man rarely
seen in political circles. Like the averag •
American he likes to play golf, bowl, and make
gadgets for his home. He handles his work
impersonally and steers clear of political squab
bles.

A nd HE means Soda...natural soda, the kind
he’s always used. He’s got to grow more
** food and feed. He can do it if he gets
enough soda to top dress his grain, fruit and for
age; enough to side dress his com, vegetables,
potatoes, cotton and other vital crops.
Properly applied, 1 ton of soda top or side v
„ dressing will produce 250 bu. of oats, 100
bu. of wheat or 125 bu. of com; 12,000
«
lbs. of vegetables, 9,600 lbs. of forage, or (
1,250 lbs. at cotton and 2,250 lbs. of cotton
seed.
Last year 1,000,000 tons of Chilean Nitrate of Soda
were used on U. S. farms. This year every pound
that can be brought from Chile will be needed
— and every pound possible will be brought in
time for your ’44 crops. \
