Doubly Lucky...Pop brings homo a soldior son on furlough,
and natural nitrate to side dross the crops.
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. It is the
safe, sure nitrate for your crops.

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. Het
man has played with the Cincinnati
Reds, the Chicago Cubs, and the
Pittsburgh Pirates . . . his batting
average for 11 years in major
leagues was .325 . . . now, at 41, he
says he has had enough of*baseball.
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. The diamond
has been covered with the flocc?
waters of the Lost river.
All of Bing Crosby’s horses are
not also rans . . . his Argentine stal
lion, Ligaroti, ran a match race wiU»
the famous Kentucky Derby win
ner, Seabiscuit, at Del Mar . . ,
stakes were $25,000 . . . unfor
tunately for Bing, his jockey was
set down for rough riding . . . many
spectators think Ligaroti shou/d
have been named winner, neverthe
less.
