Smokers need not enuckle, for the

milt of agricultural and biological
chemistry, have been feeding tobacco
rich in niootin, a diet with less tobac-
co, but with a greater kick. Between
the low and high nicotin types they
are now seeking the 'level' of nicotin
content at which the best results may
be obtained. A wider range in effec-
tive plants may mean increased mar-
kets for tobacco farmers.
"The reason for the greater growth
of baby chicks is not wholly clear. It
is not necessarily ascribed to nicotin.
If the cause Is nicotin, then this is
something new in such effects. Dr.
Hayel says:
Better health may come from, the
killing by nicotin of round worm, a
type of fowl parasite. Farmers have
been forced to raise their chickens on
ground free from this 'organism.
"There is na parallel between smok,
ing and feeding tobacco to chickens.
"In. smoking nicotin's stimulus works
through the blood and the nerves. In
the chicken's diet it is only a disin-
fectant passing through tbe body, but
not necessarily being absorbed into
