CLINTON NEINTE3.RECORH • Quakes Rock Argentina's •Oldest Citiesiii Andes San Juan, a provincial capital of Argentina, which was struck by an earthquake, is enclosed on, three sides by the eastern foothills of the. Andes monatains, 650 miles north- west of Buenos Aires. Onehundred miles west the Chilean ,,border is marked by peaks 18,000 to 23,900 feet high. This city of 35,000 had been expecting an earthquake since 1861 when its larger neighbor, Mendoza, was leveled by a similar catastro- phe. •San Juan's streets were made extra wide and houses were built low in preparation for the blow. San Juan is an oasis. The Rio San 'Juan flowing from the snow- covered Andes, irrigates the land near the city, then disappears in the arid plains to the east. The aver- age annual rainfall is less than VA inches. Where irrigation cannot reach, sparse grasslands provide cattle pasturage. The San Juan oasis produces grapes, fruit, alfalfa, sugar beets. Vineyards typify the area; the usual, scene is acre after acre of grapevines, with rows of tall pop- lar trees marking property lines. San Juan and 1Viendoza-'are Ar- gentina's oldest cities. They were founded in 156f-62 by colonists from Chile. Until 1776 they were ruled from Santiago. Still possessing cul- tural and commercial ties with Chile, they are now linked more closely with Buenos Aires and the Atlantic coast. Best Rubber Production Centered in the Equator • At the war's beginning more than 8,000,000 acres of rubber were in production. Potential yield was fig- ured at 1,800,000 tons a year. Acre averages had risen in 20 years from 400 pounds to 500 pounds. ' Plantations range from the small gardens of natives to- tracts of thou- sands of acres owned by giant or- ganiaztions. As yields increased price control became a problem for the growers. Early attempts at reg- ulation failed, brought new ground into production as quotations soared. Plantation success requires, apart from favorable climate and soil, a stable labor supply, and convenient shipping facilities. Spaces between trees are sometimes turned to profit with native crops—rice, pineapple, cassava, for examples. Climate favorable to growth is lim- ited. to a belt reaching 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south of the equator. Greatest commercial sources are within the so-called "in- • ner belt," 10 degrees north and 10 degrees south of the equator. Big- gest stands of trees are in the Ama- zon valley, in Bolivia, Peru, and Venezuela, as well as in Brazil; in the Belgian Congo and Liberia; in Malaya, Ceylon, and the Nether- lands East Indies i in India, Burma, Indo-China, and Thailand. 7 -Lb. Motor Makes 00,000 electRy ritrnoluototrin.owhsaM An ioh0PilenraUttel; at record-breaking speed of 420,00( revolutions per minute, 65 times fast er than the conventional motor used in the home washing machine or re frigerator, has been built and tested by General Electric. Motors of this type will be used for the grinding and drilling of essentialparts of air. planes ,and other war equipment and will not be available for general use. This new motor, rated at three hor, s p ow er, weighs only seven pounds, as contrasted with the eon ' ventional three horsepower motor whichweighs 105 pounds. It is so small that the entire motor will fit into the palm of a person's hand and its rotor is scarcely larger than a man's thtunb. The Motor is water cooled, using about one-half a gallon of water a minute; and is equipped with an oil-inist lubricating type of bearing. Tests including a continu- ous run of eight hours, have proven its perfection. "It's hard to realize speeds of 2,000 revolutions per,seeond in a motor," D. H. Ware, motor engineer of the company, pointed out. "However, if the wheels of an automobile could be made to turn at the same speed, the auto would move at the rate of 10,000 miles per hour, or 165 miles per minute. This is about 14 times the speed of sound." • Grub Damage Cattle owners can help prevent an annual national waste of over $50,- 000,000 •a year in damaged hides, beef and dairy products by institut- ing a campaign against cattle grubs. The control program is most effec- tive if all cattle owners cooperate in it since heel flies move from farm to farm. The loss in hides from grub damage each year would sup- ply shoes for two million front-line soldiers. One out of every three hideS is damaged by grubs. In 1942 carnass trimming losses from grub damage amounted to nearly 12 million pounds of meat. To offset the loss on grubby cattle, packers are forced to make a discount of from 50 cents to $5 per head. Damage can be greatly reduced by treating infested cattle with a wash contain- ing derris or cube powder. Appli- cations should be made after swell- ings first appear and should be re- peated about once a month as long as necessary. If applications are • thorough, each treatment will result In the destruction of about 95 per cent of the grubs ,present. Dairy Ration Where five or more cows are kept It is Practical to provide silage for them. Three to four tons of silage should be provided for each ma- ture cow. This provides succulence and a cheap source of 'nutrients fon milk production. An acre of corn fed through a silo will make more gallons of milk than any other way It can be fed. Grain is essential, but should be balanced with the roughage. It should be so mixed ass to supply the nutritional needs of the cow not met by the roughage that is being fed. High protein hay and reason- ably low protein grain will give ex- cellent results. Low protein hay and high protein grain will give fairly gobd results. Remember there is no substitute for high quality legume Typical Small U. S. City Served by 5 Councilmen The typical small city of less than 5,000 population has five councihnen, who are paid $100 a year and are elected at large for three-year over- lapping terms; the city owns and ep-' erates its water supply system, has 14 full-time paid officials and em- ployees and _spends $73,000 a year for the operation and maintenance of municipal services and for meet- ing debt charges. • Total expenditures of the average city were lower in 1943 than in the preceding year, and receipts from property taxes were larger. The typical city, according to the survey, has a long-term net debt of $98,000 which is 6 per cent less than the debt at the end of the preceding fiscal year. Earnings of city -owned utilities were larger in 1943 than in 1942, but revenues frorn licenses de- clined. Thirty-seven cities, or 30 per cent of .the total reporting, have 10 or less employees; 29 cities have from 11 to 15 employees; 30 cities have from 16 to 25 employees and 24 cities have more than 25 full-time em- ployees—excluding school employes. Sixteen cities with annual expendi- tures in excess of $150,000 a year have an average of 40 employees which is more than double the aver- age for all cities of 5,0(10 or less. • a Vitamin 0 in Citrus Fullest nutritive value is obtained when orange and grapefruit is served in whole sections, for in ex- tracting juice a copsiderable amount of pulp and juice are left in the rind. Vitamin C can be saved in juice, however, by making sure all the pulp is out of the rind and then serving the juice without straining it. A rich source of vitamin C is the rind of citrus fruits. The dried or candied product is commonly en- joyed for its flavor, but the vitamin has been destroyed. Citrus rind can be made more palatable by remov- ing the white membrane, then serv- ring it grated or thinly sliced in sauces, spreads, desserts, cookies or quick breads. At least one vitamin C -rich food •daily is the suggestion on the Basic • Seven, the wartime nutrition guide. This vitamin is not stored in the body, and its daily inclusion makes healthy gums and teeth and helps one to avoid that tired feeling. When eaten in large amounts, raw or carefully cooked, a wide variety of fruits and vegetables are reported to be fair sources of vitamin C. Best subStitutes for citrus fruits are to- matoes, raw carrots, cabbage, and green vegetables. Even the potato can he included in the list if 'it is baked or boiled 'with the jacket on. New Territories Stray corners of Brazil's rambling backlands are being marked off into federal territories. There are now eight territories, most of them cre- ated by the present Vargas govern- ment. The number of Brazilian states stands at 20, as the new territories have been carved out of existing states. Six states have had their areas reduced in the redrawing of bound- aries, but most of the new terri- torial land was sliced out of Ama- zonas, Mato Grosso, and Para— three states that made up more nay. than half of Brazil. Mato Grosso alone gave up land to form all or parts of three new divisions. Cork Substitute Farm wastes have provided a new type of cork substitute according to recent announcement by the United States department of agri- culture. This product is reported to be the equal of cork discs used in bottling food and beverage products. It is made from pith and fibers from stigarane, cornstalks, peanut hulls end similar materials, combined with animal or other vegetable glues end sugars, • apple honey or glycerine. One cork substitute was developed oy the Northern Regional Research •laboratory at Peoria, Ill., working In cooperation With food and bev- erage Industries Oiling Corn Silk Kills 4 Pe'skY Ear Worm Larvae The eggs of the ear worm insect are laid on the silks of the new corn., They hatch within three to hve days, and the larvae move down the silks of the corn to the ear, eating as they go. They often make the greater portion of an ear of corn unfit for eating. The treatment most widely recom- mendedis the application of medic- inal mineral oil to the tips of the silks of each ear. (Some recom- mendations advocate a mixture of mineral oil containing 0.2 per cent pyrethrum.) Do not apply the min- eral oil directly to the tips of the ear, as this will result in damage to the corn. Application should be made five or'six days after the silks first show, just as the silks have started drying at the tip. Do not make application sooner than the third day after the silks appear. Timing is very important in this treatment, because if the oil is ap- plied before pollination has occurred the kernels will not form as they should. If the oil is applied too deep into the silks, it will lik4avise injure the ear. About 20 drops of the mineral oil should be injected, using an oil can or an eye dropper. Do not insert the tip of the eye dropper or oil can into the ear. Hold it so that the oil drops only on the silks. The oil cov- ers the silks and kills the larvae. Another method is to cut the silks seven to eight days after they first show. Be sure and do not cut silks until after pollination has occurred. Proper Handling Assures Good Homemade Milk Milk of good flavor and quality from the family cow may be pro- duced in the home, if it is properly handled, say extension dairymen. First, they suggest that the milk be kept in standard glass milk bot- tles in the refrigerator or in a bucket or tub of cool water, where refrig- eration is not available. Just after milking, they suggest that the producer pour the milk through three or four folds of a good grade of cheese cloth. A small tin funnel can then be used for getting the milk into the bottles. It should then be capped with standard bottle caps. For cooling the milk, the bottles can now be placed iit a tub of cold water, for it cools more rapidly in this way than if put directly into the refrigerator. Where no refrig- eration is available, they advise changing the water in the tub sev- eral times daily until the milk is used. After the milk has stood for about 12 hours, the cream can be removed from the bottles by using a glass siphon tube. This cream may be saved for table use or allowed to sour for butter making. Two quarts of such cream will make about one pound of butter. Disease -Resistant Seed The fungi and bacteria that cause some serious diseases of vegetable plants are often carried on the seeds. When the seeds are planted these organisms grow and injure the plant and may destroy the crop or reduce the yield. Gardeners have several simple and effective methods of fighting these seed -borne diseases of garden crops. Certified, or selected seed, because it has been inspected for any evi- dence of disease, is usually less like. ly to carry disease than uncertified A. seed. picture taken on board one of the Gardeners can also buy seed British aircraft carriers serving with which has been treated to to kill the seed -borne diseases. Cabbage, cau- the Eastern Fleet. Hi:towel., brussels sprouts, kale, tur- nip, kohlrabi, broccoli, tomato, and celery seeds are treated with hot water. Seeds of cucumber, squash, muskmelon, pumpkin and watermelon are treated with corro- sive sublimate. To control damping -off, a disease which often kills the seedling plants soon after they sprout, a dust can be mixed with the seeds before they are planted. Some seed firms treat the seeds before they ship them to customers.

PHOTO PICTORIAL PRESS LON- DON 028-3 With A British Aircraft Carrier Relieve Confusion An army officer has been quoted as saying that the inevitable beach- head confusion that attends any in- vasion operation is being greatly re- duced by the clearly recognizable identifying marks and celors on all types of boxes and containers of combat supplies put ashore under the guns of the enemy. Service col- ors for for marking overseas shipments have "'now been standardized. The government also has standardized paints for camouflage purposes and troops have been furnished with a manual which includes a glossary of paints and coatings for specific surfaces, as well as characteristic recommendations for application. Paper Gas Tanks Auxiliary paper gasoline tanks Cultivated Weed The low -growing leafy tampala plant from the Far East is merely a cultivated "sister" of the taller and less leafy common pigweed, red root or "careless weed" which grows on farms, in barnyards, and alcing roadside's in almost every part of the 'United States. It is also re- lated to the brilliantly colored cocks- comb of the flower garden, Indians of the southwestern United • States have boiled and eaten the leaves of these native plants for years, They have gatheled • the small black shiny seeds and ground them into flour for breads and por- ridges. _ known as jettison tanks because they can be dropped from an air- craft when einpty, are reported in use on British fighting aircraft, says Domestic Commerce. The tanks are described as cigar shaped, made in three sections consisting of layers of paper bonded together with an ad- hesive and moulded over a cast to the required shape. After they have been, dried and sandpapered, the three sections are asseMbIed and a band of wood is inserted at the joints. Small metal parts are then added, after which the tank is "toped"and finally Coatwith sil- ver cellulose paint. r Picture Shows:—The flight deck • being •cleared of Corsairs at sunset ready for the Avenger dusk patrol to land.
