Graduate Introduces New Farm Methods In Near East To increase food production in the Near East, Frank Anthony, a graduate of the College, is study hig and introducing new meth ods of raising grains in Syria and Lebanon. Anthony, who received his tiathelor of science degree in 'ag ricultural education in 11924, went to the .Aanerican (University tat Beirut in 1943 as director of ag ricultural extension for the Near East Foundation. He came to this country in February, recently visited the campus, and will-return to Syria next month. -. The natives of Syria use the same type of implements and methods of farming that their an cestors used before the time of Christ, Anthony says, but through good methods of agricultural edu cation, progress in introducing to the natives improved methods of farming is being made. "They must see our theories in operation before they are con vinced," Anthony said. This is being done through the research experiment station. The natives have been saving their own seed from year to year for generations, Anthony pointed out, instead of using seed that is raised for that purpose. By introducing commercially grown seed, we showed them how their rnellons could be in creased from 40 to 25 pounds," Anthony explained. Although Syria exports phos phates, the natives use little fertilizer or manure on their land, which has been under cul tivation for more than 3000 years. Manure is dried on the roofs of the. buildings and used for fuel because there is little wood. By exiperiment, the natives also are being- convinced of the value of feetilizing their soil. • LES BROWN DANCE After-The- I Snack Forma i Jams • ......., Jellies ''-'- , ~.. ~..........- vim & C 1 Cheese . , , , Spreads .._ Wagner's Food Market Chapel Noted Author Speaks Sunday Kurt Singer, noted author, commentator and lecturer from Bronxville, New York, will speak at Chapel services in Schwab auditorium, 11 a.m. Sunday.
