What Science
Is Doing
SOME BIG BUSINESS IN
FARMING
Elmer von Glahn, a farmer in
9alifornia, also rates as a.big busl-
xtess man, as his 40,000 acre tract
Alelds a $1,500,000 harvest in a
year, says Popular Science Month-
• With a floating dredge capable
running half a year without re -
I ueling, five airplanes, and a fleet
iif tractors, truoks, and land scrap-
ra, Von Glahn will harvest grain
O,nd cotton worth $1,500,000 trom
itis farm this year. This 40,000-
taore farm in the San Joaquin Val-
t�ppy has been made as fertile as the
t Ile Valley by the ingenious and
intelligent use of machinery, which
iiot only plants and harvests the
hops, but keeps under control
ulare Lake, the source of life
lo the farm yet a constant threat
flood,
On Von Glahn's farm—lying in
25 mile crescent on the shores
the lake—irrigation is done In
a big way. Four huge electric
pumps suck up 12,000 gallons of
;grater a minute, five other sets
Oft it 36 feet and fill 25 miles
$t main canals and hundreds of
tulles of secondary ditches. Water
ko� turned in on patches as big as
1,500 acres and allowed to stand
iter 20 days or so at a time.
But this farmer is not content
ith ordinary irrigation. In a
Ilirought, even the deepest canals
taight fail. To meet this possibil-
ity there is ready a wheeled Ina-
4'h'lue which can scoop water from
*ells and lay it over an acre a
slay to a depth of from 1 to 12
Inches.
During the flood season, Von
atlabn tours his lands by plane.
His special machine for flood
Righting is. a Huge floating dredge
with a three yard bucket. It is
tiperated by a two man crew and
,Dan be rushed to any danger spot
the levee for quick repair work
afore crevices become too large.
- 1n an elevator and warehouse,
one man handles 85 tons of grain
fu hoar as it rides endless belts
rom the pit.
Establishes Joint
Production Board
U. S. and U. K. To Pool All
Food Resources
A saving of 25 per cent iu ocean
shipping space may result from
the establishment of a British -
American War Production Board,
authoritative sources estimated
recently.

Tau
In addition, further
is cargo space may be effected
through the creation of an Anglo-
American food. board.
The two new agencies, designed
to combine the war and food pro-
duction efforts of the two coun-
tries, were announced by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in behalf of him-
self and Premier Winston Chur-
chill, Donald M. Nelson, war pro-
duction board director, and Oliver
tyttleton, British minister of pro-
duction, will form the production
board.
Three Objectives
An authorized spokesman said
these three objectives were the
immediate goals:
1. Saving;; of shipping space
through allocation of. production in
cull a way that supplies could be -
suoved from the producing area
telosest to the war theatre for
surltich they are iutended, In some
nises--shop as India—machine
ttQols . and, equipment might be
moved there to set up local mann-"

'2. Standardization
asfr
r
p
os-
eile of weapons used by the Unit -
et
Nations so that aminullition
:and parrs would be interchange-
able.
3. Con::illeratian of the total
,t9.tes • British production
capacity as .one vast industrial
empire In order to gain a maxi-
mum of efficiency from existing
machinery.
Only the two countries were in-
cluded in the plan because other
United Nations powers are not
producing war materials sufficient
to meet even their own demands,
and thus have no shipping prob-
lem, Mr Roosevelt made olear, •
however, that Canada would par-
ticipate in any joint action through
her memibership on the British ,
• Supply Council.
Combined Food Board
One development from the joint
production effort, officials said,
night be a concentration of
bomber production in the United
States while Britain steps up pro-
duction of fighter planes. Bomber's
can be flown to England, but
smaller planes have to be taken in
ships.
The "combined food board" was
expected to fulfill virtually the
same functions in regard to cor-
relating the produotion and dis-
tribution of food among the Unit-
ed Nations. It also will seek to
reduce shipping space by restric-
tion of non-essential imports, in-
creased
ncreased use of concentrated foods
and improved methods of stowing
and packing.
In addition the board will deal
with all other questions of food
policy and strategy. The entire
food resources of the United States
and Britain will be considered as
'a common pool.
H.M.S. "Penelope"
Nov "Pepperpot"
Cruiser Shot Full of Holes
Is Re -christened
The 'British cruiser Peuelope is
so full of holes her Drew has re-
christened her the H.M.S. "Pepper -
pot," but she's being patched up
to defy again air and sub attacks,
her skipper said, in telling of his
hair-raising experiences,
Captain Angus Nicholl said his
ship, called one of the "most
bombed boats afloat," had been
patched up at Malta, again at
Gibraltar, and now 18 at an Eas-
tern United States port for a
"face -Ming" operation.
She was a whole ship when
Capt. Nicholl assumed command
in March, 1940.
During air raids at Malta, she
earned the nickname "Pepperpot."
Between Malta and Gibraltar, the
crew ran into more gunfire and
plugged her holes with wood. For
a while the erew called her the
"Porcupine "
* * *
After a direct bomb bit, the
decks were so littered' the crew al-
luded to her as "The Rock Gar-
den."
"It's not so bad being bombed
at sea," the doughty skipper said.
"Yon can twist and turn and wrig-
gle. You watoh the plane until
he is committed) to his dive, and
then change your course,
"You feel hurt in your dignity
if you are bit at sea."
Captain Nicholl told how an
aerial bomb flit the 'gangplank
when they were tied up helplessly
at Malta. Shrapnel killed one of-
ficer and three crew members,
wonding 50 others.
"I got a splinter' in a place not
usually mentioned," be said.
But repairs which were expect-
ed to take a,, month were com-
pleted in two weeks by en un-
daunted crew.

wooden plugs with steel repairs.
Except for a convoy battle, the

HOW CAN I?
Q. Bow can I remove iron rust?
.A, Iron rust is easily removed
by applying a mixture of salt and
lemon juice. Rub thoroughly.
Q. How can I stiffen organdie
trimmings, such as collar and cuff
sets?
A. They will have just the right
amount of stiffening if they are
dipped into water in which ries
has been boiled.
Q. How can I mend a small hole
in a screen?
A. By first trimming the edges
until it is roughly square. Cut a
new piece of wire cloth about an
inch larger each way than the
hole. Pull out several wires on
each side of the patch and bend •
so that the wires stick out at
eight angles. Place over the hole
and push the wires through the
screen, bending .back through :the
screening until the new 'piece is
firmly 'in place.
Q. How can I make the flower
pots look attractive?
A. Cover the pots with two or.
three thicknesses of paraffin pa-
per, thea with crepe tissue paper.
The paraffin prevents moisture
from penetrating to the tissue
paper.
Q. How can I soften dried shoe
polish?
A. A small quantity of turpen-
tine added to dry shoe polish will
soften it almost immediately.

12,000 Said Killed
In Cologne Raid
Reuters said in a recent dis-
patch that Otto Abetz, the German
"Ambassador" in Paris, had ac-
knowledged in conversations that
11,000 to 12,000 persona were
killed in the RAF -RCAF bombing
of Cologne and .that 180,000 per-
sons had been ordered evacuated.
Taught To Swim
In Flaming Water
The four trunk -clad Navy offi-
cers emerged dripping from the
flame -swept swimming pool, look-
ed ruefully at the sun—and come
plained of its blistering heat.
The officers were giving the
final test to the most spectacular
swimming lesson to be taught at
the United States Navy's pre-flight
training school at the University
of Georgia—that men can swim
through burning oil and gasoline
and escape injury.
Lieut. W. F. Foster, chief swim-
ming coach at the school, and a
former instructor at Southern
Methodist University, termed the
test "extremely satisfactory".
The swimmer propels himself
under the blazing oil until his
lung -held oxygen supply is about
exhausted. At this point he pushes
hard for the surface and as he
breaks water, slaps the flames
away, takes a deep breath and
sinks again.
"Kill That Rat"
The government has declared
war on rats as part of the war
on the enemies of democracy. At
it time when everything possible
is being done to combat waste to
the benefit of the greater war
effort, it is estimated that rats
do damage of at least $115,000,-
000 a year in Britain in their gi-
gantic secret banquets in places
where the nation's food is stored.
An Agriculture Ministry film.
"Kill That Rat" is being shown
all over the country to make the
people rat conscious.
The new Waterloo Bridge over
the Thames in England will have
six traffic lanes.
