No knowledge that could in- crease his influence over the peoples of Arabia was neglected by Lawrence. He even• made a minute study of that" beast of mystery, the camel,.the charac- ter and quality of 'which few Arabs are altogether familiar 'with, although it plays such an all-important part their lives. Lawrence' is the only Euro- pean I have ever met who pos- sesses "camel instinct" — a quality that implies intimate acquaintance with the beast's habits, powers, and • innumer- able idiosyncrasies. Auda Abu Tayi, the Bedouin Robin Hood, had this' instinct developed to an unusually high degree. There are six different spe- cies. of camels found in Central Arabia, from whence come ...the finest breeds. The Bedouin call their country "the Mother of the Camel." Arabian camels have but one hump; in fact, most of• the Arabs have never even heard of the two-humped! variety, which is found only 'in Central Asia, to the north-west , of Persia, chiefly in the Gobi Desert. The two-humped breed is slow and of little use except as a beast of burden. The ;one- humped camel is the dromed- ary, which is the Greek , word for a camel that runs. — From "With Lawrerice in Arabia," by Lowell. Thomas. Cat. Couldn't Ruin Cantor's Act ' Tape-Record. Your . TV Programs Television haS been consider- , ed a medium largely for ma, terial that is briefly viewed and soon forgotten. But that will not be the case much longer, Repo rts from the New York meeting of the Institute of Ra- dio Engineers diSeleae that tech• piques for tape recording color TV and the more easily record- ed black-and-white telecasts are being satisfactorily field tested. At the same time, a gadget has been developed that will "freeze"' the image on your living room screen, letting you fix any transient scene you want and study ,tit at'leisure, Like so many of the electron- ic marvels displayed at engin- eers' conventions, these things are not yet available to the pub- . lic. They are 'either too cum- bersome and expensive in their present state for any but com- mercial uses or else are marked for priority military use only. Nonetheless, as hints of what may one day turn up in the display case of your local TV supplier, they are intriguing prototypes. Both the "image fixer" and the TV tape recorder, 'are ex- amples. The image fixer was, dis- played at the convention show by the Hughes Aaircraft Corn, pany. It is called a Tonotron and it can stop TV action at the flip of a switch. - As shown in New York, the Tanotton was, mounted side by side ,with a. conventional TV 'receiver and tuned to the- same channel. To hold any particular scene "all that' you need to do is. throw the switch,- stopping the action on the Tonotron While the program on, the-regu- lar tube goes ahead, writes Ro- bert' C. Cdwen in The Chirsian Science q‘ifonitor. " ,,,This would be a delightful gadget for the living room — especially for following video cakes recipei..But Dr, Andrew V.

At a Yorkshire football ground Barton heard an • exasperated referee turn on a spectator who'd been "making frequent uncomplimentary remarks about the handling of the match and shout: "You be quiet. I've had my eye on you for some time." "Aye," retorted the man, "Ah knew reight enough tha weren't watching t'game." The late Wilson Midgley,-edi- tor of 'John o' London's Week- ly,' told Barton of a boy caught by the parson and reprimanded for fishing on a Sunday and hooking "that, poor fly:" "It's no fly,"' said the boy, "it's an imitation." "Oh," said the parson, "I thought it was a real fly," "And so did these other sack- ers," said the boy, Pointing to the fish on the grass beside him. Barton records some clever sayings. Discussing with him a disgruntled mutual acquantance, a friend remarked: don't know what's eating him but it's going to get indigestion."

Radioactive isotopes are being, used to test soil so as to assess' fertilized needs. At the Agricul- tural Rerearch Institute in. New Delhi, agricultural scientists are at work on improved types of seed and better methods of cul- tivation. The Indian peasant is shrewd and hard - working, and like peasants throughout the world he is conservative. But he, is quick to alter his opinions when he sees results. When India's big fertilizer factory at Sindri went into pro- duction four years ago, only the most adventurous farmers spent their hard-earned cash on this new fangled method of improv- ing their crops, and fertilizer was piling up unwanted, at .-the factory. Today, four Sindri - sized plants could not supply the de- mand for artificial fertilizers from Indian farmers. Peasants who have tilled and harvested their fields for cen- turies without change are- buy- ing better seeds now and learn- ing scientific methods plant- ing. Soon, they may have at their disposal new hybrid seeds whose quality has been improv- ed by the latest methods of ex- posure to atomic radiation. There is little mechanization in Indian farming, and the wood- en plow and oxen are,still the peasant's mainstay.

The Central ,Trac- tor Organization operates one of the largest,fleets of heavy trac- tors in the world' for 'agricul- tural' purposes. It has 18 units, and 270 'crawler tractors: ''So fat it already has re- claimed 1,000,000 acres of land, in central India' which fermerly was covered by the deep4oated, insidious• kans grass and -about another 100,000 acres of, -jungle land in Uttar Pradesh and ,Bho- pal. Starting this year, the addi- tional annual, production fxom these reclaimed lands will -be about 200,000 tons. During the second Five-Year Plan, which starts this year, the government will spend 3,500,- 000,000 rupees ($735,000,000) on agrieultural research and devel- opinent -programs. Production . and distribution nitrogenous fertilizers is to be increased to t h r e e times the present level of 600,000 tons a year. Distribution of improved seeds will be undertaken by means of a .network of seed farms each designed to serve a group of 100 villager's. TO- improve cattle breeds, 300 new artificial, insemination cen- ters will be established; with 30,000 pedigree bulls. Special centers are to be ea- tabliatied develbp quality sheep, wool, and ponitry. ,But it is perhaps the aPplica- tion .of.- atomic -energy to agri- culture which holds out the greatest promise Of improve- Merit to agricultural' production.
