Gfood formers—for over a hun dred years—have ha&ed natural nitrate for their crops. Since 1830, when the first nitrate cargo arrived from Chile, millions of tons have been used on American farms . . . 3,300,000 tons since the outbreak of the war. This year’s supply of Chilean Nitrate depends largely on ships avail able to bring it in. If everyone take* hia share promptly when offered, at least 850,000 tons can be supplied for this year's crops. While some nitrate normally goes into mixed fertilizer, most of it is applied direct to the crop —top dressing for grains and grasses, side dressing for com and cotton. Direct application to fruit and vegetable crops is vital to yield and quality. Chilean Nitrate is quick-act ing inorganic nitrogen. It is im mediately soluble in normal soil moisture. It is all available to the crop. But beyond all this, Chilean Nitrate is natural. .. the only natural nitrate in the world. Because of its natural origin, Chilean Nitrate of Seda contains, in addition to large proportions of nitrogen and so dium, small amounts of boron, iodine, manganese, copper—34 different elements in all—many of which ar£ known to be essen tial to healthy plant growth. Good farmers the world over have learned by experience to prefer Natural Chilean Nitrate of Soda. In experiments, test plots and in the field, it has demonstrated its worth.

WAR B0Nr : By ELLIOTT PINE Leading football coaches have been employing movies of. games ‘to ftnprove individual playing for more than 10 years. Jesse Yarbor ough, coach at Miami. Fla., high school, thinks that ‘‘movies have raised the caliber of high School play to where-it is superior to the college game of 15 years ago." The principal improvement is in blocking—players can see their op portunities and mistakes when the picture is run in slow motion. Frank Thomas of Alabama shows the film several times, rerunning it for the special benefit of the ends, tackles and guards, and pointing out the good and bad moves of each. Chick Meehan, coach at New York U., is said to have been the first to experiment with movies in football as an aid to coaching. Babe Herman, former big league outfielder and lately a coach for the Hollywood Stars, has decided to retire from baseball after 23 years in the game. He is going to con centrate on raising turkeys on his farm near Sunland. Calif.

Walking a mile by ordinary stepping takes from 12 to 15 • minutes for a good athlete . . . • the “heel and toe” specialists can cover the same distance in 6 minutes, 30 seconds, or about two-thirds as fast as the speed of the best mile runners. A new record has been set in long distance swimming by Angel Viera. Argentinian athlete, who paddled across the estuary of the La Plata river in 22 hours and 18 minutes. This is 32 minutes less than the previous mark. The river is 24 miles broad at the point of crossing. Manual laborers are so scarce around French Lick, Ind., where the Chicago Cubs are training, that Charlie Grimm, manager, hao offered his services to the grounds keeper if necessary: He has also intimated that Coach Red Smit> and trainer Andy Lotshaw can do day’s work With a shovel or a rak** if they are wanted.

New equip ment is very hard to get from any dealers as the manufacturers are proportioning out only small a- mounts of new materials to each dealer. No doubt a good many were nailed and cleaned well. It is advisable on a good warm day when bees are flying freely to look through the hives to see that they are all queened right and have enough food to go on until the main spring honey flow.
