parasites on the yield of wool.
Michigan State college is urging
flock owners in that state to treat
animals with phenothiazine to keep
them in good condition and to get
a heavier growth of wool. Pheno-
thiazine is administered as a drench
or in pellets, or mixed with salt and
kept before the flock all the time.
A dependable year-round program
calls for individual treatment of all
animals in fail and spring, and use
of the phenothiazine-salt mixture
throughout the pasture season. This
is the program being followed by
progressive sheepmen to keep para-
sites in check.
How lime, clover and crop resi-
dues increase the soil’s nitrogen and
organic matter supply and thus
boost crop yields, is shown by the
chart below. This drawing summar-
izes results of tests at the Dixon
soil experiment field by University
of Illinois agronomists. All three
plots in the tests were limed and
the crop rotation on each included
corn, oats and wheat. One plot had
no clover. The small grain straw
was removed and the cornstalks
were burned. This plot produced a
four-year average of 57 bushels per
acre. The second plot had the same

treatment, except that sweet clover
was seeded in the wheat and plowed
under as a green manure crop for
corn. The increased nitrogen and
organic matter from the clover
boosted the corn yield 24 bushels. On
the third plot, sweet clover was
grown and in addition the corn-
stalks, oats straw and wheat straw
were returned to the soil. The extra
organic matter, nitrogen and other
plant foods thus saved and returned
in the crop residues gave the soil
“what it takes” to yield 88 bushels
of corn per acre.
New Seed Disinfectant
Suggested for Cotton
Ceresan M seed disinfectant is
being recommended for use against
numerous seed-borne and soil-borne
crop diseases, including seed-borne
anthracnose, angular leafspot, seed
decay and seedling damping-off of
cotton. The active ingredient of this
new material is ethyl mercury
p-toluene sulfonanilide, which has
been successfully tested by colleges
over a period of years under the
designation of No. 1452-F.
Unanimous rejection by Pan- ‛
ama’s national assembly of a treaty
which would have given the U. S.
the right to lease and man 14 mili-
tary and airfield sites to defend the
Panama canal not only precipitated
a diplomatic disaster but also left
this nation in the position of a fighter
without a left hand to guard his jaw.
The action, strongly opposed by
Panama’s President Jiminez, left
the U. S. with just one alternative—
to pull out—since commitments had
been given that no American troops
would remain in Panamanian terri-
tory without sanction of an author-
ized treaty.
Military officials later announced
that the withdrawal of some 2,000
U. S. soldiers from the 14 bases sur-
rounding the canal would be begun
immediately. That meant, probably,
that the troops woula be pulled into
the canal zone proper, which the
U. S. leases from Panama.
This was, by all odds, the most
crucial issue to arise in U. S.-Pan-
ama relations since this country
purchased the canal from France
in 1904. And it was aggravated by
the fact that the inability to man de-
fense bases around the canal left
this most vital point in American
military security dangerously ex-
posed.
Rep. Albert Engel (Rep., Mich.),
chairman of the house appropria-
tions subcommittee on defense,
stated his belief that the national
assembly’s 51 to 0 vote against the
treaty was influenced at least in
part by the Communist movement
in Panama; and he suggested that
the U. S. build a new Atlantic-Pa-
cific canal outside Panama if that
nation continued to refuse use of
bases.
There did not appear to be much
chance of further negotiations, how-
ever; the assembly’s rejection of
the pact probably closed the door on
that course. Some officials were
speculating on whether the problem
might not wind up in the lap of the
United Nations for solution.

Help Them Cleanse the Blood
of Harmful Body Waste
Your kidneys are constantly filtering .
waste matter from the blood stream. But
kidneys sometimes lag in their work—do
not act as Nature intended—fail to re-
move impurities that, if retained, may
poison the system and upset the whole
body machinery.
Symptoms may be nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffiness
under the eyes—a feeling of nervous
anxiety and loss of pep and ■ strength-
Other signs of kidney or bladder dis-
order are sometimes burning, scanty or

One of the adverse factors devel-
oping to hamper the nation’s post-
war program of scientific progress
is a critical scarcity of scientists in
certain branches of military re-
search, government officials have
revealed.
They discount, however, state-
ments that an aversion on the part
of scientists to working on death-
dealing weapons is the primary
cause of the shortage.
Economic factors and a scholar’s
normal desire for complete freedom
in study, rather than any anti-mili-
tary philosophy, keep many of them
away from government work, offi-
cials of the military and the atomic
energycommission observed.
Greatest shortage is in certain
key personnel, it was disclosed. The
need was stressed for scientist-ad-
ministrators who are capable of or-
ganizing and directing large re-
search projects of the type the gov-
ernment is sponsoring. Long-range
planning is being directed at cor-
recting the situation.

WARNING:
On Prices
The President’s council of eco-
nomic advisers, an astute group
that sometimes functions as Mr.
Truman’s conscience, has warned
that the U. S. must return to “real
price competition” if the present
boom period is not to collapse into
a shapeless economic mess.
In its annual report the council
sharply criticized “monopolistic
practices” and declared also that:
“Many industrial prices must
come down at least in relation to
other prices and many rates of
profit must subside while reasonable
profitability is established in other
areas.”
This was a clarion call for a
revival of the old freebooting com-
petition in American industry.
The report surmised that the pres-
ent era of prosperity was “abnor-
mal” because of such factors as
heavy exports, short crops and
great military expenditures. To
remedy the situation the council of-
fered these recommendations: -
1 Elimination of deliberate cur-
l • tailment of output as practiced
by some labor organizations.
Discontinuance of the practice
4 • of big business of hampering
the development of new, small busi-
nesses.
2 Development of natural re-
• • sources and increase in the in-
dustrial facilities of the nation.
That sleek, snake-hipped automo-
tive beauty that you probably are
on a waiting list for is a shiny ex-
ample of the “survival of the fit-
test” principle operating in the in-
dustrial world.
It is the evolutionary descendant
of 2,200 different makes of ’cars
which have appeared on the market
in this country alone during, the 55
years since the first gasoline-pow-
ered automobile drilled down the
pike.
Of those 2,200 different manufac-
turers who introduced their prod-
ucts into the American scene, only
21 today continue in actual produc-
tion of passenger cars in the U. S.
Nevertheless, this year’s models
owe much to these enterprising
manufacturers who failed to sur-
