SOLVING THE
RUEBER PROBLEM
“Tre tightest, grimmest
shortage facing the U. S. is rub-
ber.” says Time. “It need not
have beén. For five months after
Pcarl Harbor tne U. S. Govern-
ment did practically nothing to get
a synthetic rubber industry io fll
the gap caused by Japan's con-
That f2ilure is the worst
scandal in the U. S. war effort.”
There has been an encirmous
waste of time in coming to grips
with the rubber problem. There
has been endless confusion, and
excessive division of responsibility.
At last, however, it looks as if
semething definite and constructive
is zbcut to be done.
On July 17. Donald Nelson an-
nounced that he had assumed per-
sonal directiczin of the government's
rubbe; program. On the same day,
the 4th Corps Area Quartermaster
Headquarters said that tires made
of buna, a petroleum derivative,
will be used as replacement en all
vehicles throughcut the na-
tion. And on July 15, President
W. S. Farisn of the Standard Oil
Ccmpany of New Jersey, gave a
House subcommittee some exceed-
ingly interesting information on
the progress that is being made.
New and faster processes, said
Mr. Farish, will produce, before
the end of 1943, 34,000,000, more
automobile tires than were expect-
ed. Further, synthetic. rubber will
be better on the whole than nat-
ural. rubber, and its cost will not
be materially greater.

PLANT COVER CROPS
To conserve nitrogen which oth-
erwise would leach away during
the winter and to control soil ero-
sion, sow cover crops in the peach
¢tchard. Fruit specialists of the
Pennsylvania State College report
{hat domestic ryegrass, rye, and
hairy vetch will produce satisfac-
tory cover crops.

HARVEST CLOVER SEED
Farmers who do not need their
second crop of clover for hay or
ensilage will help the seed situa-
tion by harvesting the crop for
seed, say Penn State agronomists.
The field should be quite free of
weeds and the heads filled with

rubber, on tae theory that replace-
ments will soon be available. Mili-
tery needs will absorb most and
pethzps all the synthetic rubber
produced for 2 long time to come.
Rigid conservation cf rubber, as a
result, remains an absolute neces-
sity. Private industry is doing
everything in ifs power to produc
an adequate supply of synthetic
rubber in the shortest possible
time. There are, at, grounds for
believing that government rubber
red-tape is cut, and that there can
be acfion, nct continued political
talk, im dealing with the rubber
program.
Some of the best informed com-
mentztors now arguing that
there must be reveluticnary chan-
ges in the organization of the Gov-
ernment if the war effdrt is to be
advanced with maximum speed
and minimum delay. They point
out that Washington red-tape
makes really quick and effective
action impossible in many vital
mistters. On top of that, they say,
some of the best men in the gov-
erment must give too much of
their time to questicn of detail, in-
stead of questions of war policy.
.. There is also a goctl deal of criti-
cism of the military organizations
i themselves. The crities say that
!the the Army, Navy and Air For-
| ces still don’t cperate in complete

GRAIN SOYBEANS
DEPLETE THE SOIL

But if Plowed Under They
Increase Soil Nitrogen.
By PROF. GEORGE D. SCARSETH
(Soil Chémist, Agficultlitdl Experiment
Station, Pi Paki daé Univetsity.)
Many farmers do not realize that
soybeans harvested for grain are a
soil-exhausting rather than 4 soil
puilding crop. If soybeans aré
plowed under or cut for hay, and thé
manure therefrom is returned to thé
soil, they do increase the soil nitro-
gen and thus increase the corn or
whéat yields that follow in thé ro-
tation. But harvestéd for commer
cial purposes such as ojls, plastics,
éte., they représent a drain on the
soil.
A crop of 20 bushels of soybeans
harvésted for commercial purposes
removes 15 pounds of phosphate
(equivalent to 75 pounds of 20 per
cent super-phosphdte) and 20 pounds
of potash per acre.
Soybeans are certain to play an
increasingly important part in the
present war effort. At présent very
little information has been obtained
means of directly fertilizing soy-
beans at the time of seeding, but ex-
periments now in progress at Pur-
due university involving plowing un-
der phosphate and potash indicate
| that effeétive means are being found.
With 'a favorable price outlook, a
greater acreage will be planted to
soybeans this year. Farmers will
find it advantageous to fertilize
the crop, unless their soils have been
adequately treated previously in the
rotation. Based on experience at the
university, the following suggestions
may be of value:
If the soil is acid, lime it ade-
quately this winter. This is impor-
tant for otherwise the fertilizer will
bé los. In many cases about three
tons per acre will be effective. Then
just before plowing the ground for
soybeans, broadcast about 300
pounds of 0-20-20 or 500 pounds of
0-12-12 and plow under. Do not use
any fertilizer when planting the
beans. The bénefits from the lime
will last at least 10 yedrs, although
it has been found profitable to re-
lime in about six years.
Indicative of the importance of
plowing down fertilizer, for soy-
beans, was a test at the Purdue ex-
periment station last year. On an
unfertilized plot, the soybean yield
‘| was 15.7 bushels of grain or 3,570
pounds of hay an acre. When an
equivalent of 1,000 pounds of 4-10-25
had been broadcast and disked into
the topsoil immediately before seed-
ing, the yield incréaséd only 1.9
bushels. But when this same
amount was broadcast and plowed
under the yield per acre was
23.4 bushels of grain or 4,653 pounds
of hay. When lime at the rate of
three tons per acre was used with
the fertilizer and plowed under,
the yield was 28.2 bushels of grain
or 5,377 pounds of hay per acre.

Feeding Laying Hens
Successful poultry farmers pay
nearly as much attention to the
way they feed their pullets and
laying hens as they do to thé kind
of feeds they provide. For one
thing, abrupt changing in the diet
causes thé birds to go ‘‘off feed”
and results in lower egg produc-
tion and slower growth as will the
use of stale feed. If a change in
diet must be made it should be
made gradually and extend over
a period of a week or ten days.
One practice followed by many
of the better poultrymen is to pro-
vide only a liftle more feed each
day than thé birds can cléan up.
The leff-overs, if clean and dry,
can be mixed thoroughly with the
fresh feed in the hoppers.
In this way there will be no
accumulation of stale feed at the
bottom of the hoppers, reducing
likelihood of mold.

Some Mighty Trees
The free with the largest circum:¢
ference is the sequoia, 101 feet, 6
inches, in California, and the tree
given the widest spread (168 feet) is
a liveoak at Hahnville, La. The
wide-spreading liveoak on the Lien-
do plantation in Waller county
seems to be unrecorded on the
banks of the Potomac. A California
redwood with an altitude of 364 feet
is given the palm for the greatest
height. The world’s record for girth
is given to a cypress in Mexico.
Probably the largest, oldest, slow-
est and fastest growing trees now in
Texas, is the cypress. Its wood also
has had more home and industrial
use than any free.
Less Spuds, More Eggs
People eat about the same total
quantity of food now as they did 30
years ago, but thé composition of
the dietafy has changed. Consump-
tion of wheat and other cereals, po-
tatoés and dpples, beef, veal, and
téa has declined. But consumption
of vegetables (other than potatoes),
citrus fruifs, sugar, poultry, eggs,
milk, manufaefured dairy products
(éspécially ice cream), edible fats
and oils (other than lard and but
tér) dnd cocoa increased.

India’s Game of ‘Poona’
Grew lito Our Badminton
Asia gave the world a game which
in late years has grown rather popu-
lar inf the western world. The game
is badminton, and it grew out of an
older game called ‘‘battledoor and
shuttlecock,” or simply ‘shuttle-
cock.”
A battledoor is a racket with a
long handle. Usually it is strung
with catgut, like a tennis racket. A
shuttlecock is a cork with feathers
stuck in it, or around the rim. All
the feathers are pointed in the
same direction; they follow the cork
when the shuttlecock flies through
the air.
Shuttlecock can be played in sev-
eral ways. Sometimes a player sees
how many times he can knock. the
shuttlecock info the air, without let-
ting it fall to the ground.
In another form, two players bat
the shuttlecock back and forth. The
batting may be done with or without
a net between the players.
This game appears to have heen
played in India as. much as 1,500
years ago. In India it had the name
of ‘“poona.” |
A form of shuttlecock was played
in France about two centuries ago.
A picture made in 1760 shows a lady
and a gentleman of France batting
a shuttlecock back and forth. They
are using rackets with much shorter
handles than’those employed in the
modern game.
About 70 years ago, British of-
ficers refurned to England from
India. With them they brought
rackets and shuttlecocks which they
had used in India while playing
poona.
People in England began to take
up the game, and no one seemed to
like it better than the duke of Beau-
fort. This duke lived in a home
which was named ‘‘Badminton,”
Roasting Meats Better
When Left Uncovered
Low temperature, evenly con-
trolled oven heat for roasting means
ténderness, flavor, minimum shrink-
age and all the available nutrients of
meat. Tender cuts of meat for roast-
ing are placed on a rack in a shal-
low uncovered pan. (By shallow, we
mean not over two inches high on
the sidés,)
In this way the roast basks in
the gentle circulating fresh warm
air currents of the oven. The fat
side of the meat is placed upper-
most so that as the fat cooks the
basting job is done without the touch
of human hand. A lean piece of
meat may be larded by the butcher,
brushed with oil, spread with sof-
téned fat or topped with strips of
bacon. For true roasting, meats
should never be covered.
Roasting is a dry heat method of
cooking and neither pan nor oven
should retain steam, The brown-
ing results of uncovered low tem-
perature roasting are extremely at-
tractive. This browning takes place
in the latter part of the roasting
period without any increase of oven
heat.
