Some time later little J'im was

Hybrid Corn's
Possibilities
Experiments Show It Yields
Much More Shelled Corn
Than the Standard Varieties
-Fine For Ensilage Produc-
tion
It is expected that at least half
the acreage, or around 80,000 to'
90,000 acres, will be occupied by
hybrid corn this year in the coun-
ties of Essex and Kent alone, says
P, Dimmock, Division. of Forage
Plants, Central Experimental Farm,
Ottawa. Accenting to experimental
trials conducted by the Dominion
Experimental Farms, the better
corn hybrids have yielded from 15
to 25 per cent more shelled corn
than the standard varieties. Similar
results have been reported by
many growers. Such increases
make possible the production o8
the saute amount of corn on less
acreage than was formerly planted
to opempollinated varieties or
more corn on the same acreage.
While no definite claims are made
that hybrids are resistant to the
, Etu'opeau Corn Borer, observa-
tions have shown that there is gen-
erally much less stalk breakage -in
hybrids from borer attacks than
in the varieties. This suggests the
advantage of using hybrid corn in
areas where borer attacks are liable
to occur. The same is true with re-
spect to disease, such as ear rots.
This was apparent in the 1940
crap of eorn when ear rot damage
was so prevalent: The hybrids gen-
erally suffered less demage than
the varieties.
Surface Of Mars
Said Like Earth's
But Much Nonsense Written
About Planet, Subject of
Scientific Interest -- Phys-
ical Conditions Resemble Our
Globe's
The planet Mars, of all the
heavenly ,bodies we can observe,
has a surface whose physical con-
ditions most nearly duplicate
those on the earth. Because of
this fact, and because it is our
next door neighbor in the solar
system and is thus favorably
placed for observation. Mars has
always been a subject of great
scientific and popular interest.
Unfortunately, so much nonsense
has been written about the planet
iim various branches of literary
endeavor, that it is easy to forget
that Mars is still an object of
serious scientific investigation,
though in a .less spectacular and
sensational role than many people
belieee .
WHITE' POLAR CAPS
Percival Lowell, founder of the
great Lowell Observatory in Ari-
zona, made an extensive study of
the Martian surface features,
writes Dr. Peter M. Millman in
"Sky." The planet is of a gen-
eral orange -red color and, apart
from this shade which is possibly
due' to oxidation of the surface
rocks, the two chief features of
the surface are the white polar
caps, believed to consist of snow
..
or f,,o,
frost," and some large areas of
a dark greenish hue.

What Science
h Doing
VITAMINS AND- SHELL -SHOCK
Use of vitamins to prevent
shell shock among soldiers under
fire may result from experiments
on albino rats conducted by two
University of Pittsburg scientists.
They found that:
Rats fed on a diet rich in vita-
min B-1 "barely blink an eye"
when a loud buzzer is sounded.
Rats fed on foods slightly de-
ficient in vitamins can be "knock-
ed cold" by the same noise.

FOOD FOR LONGER LIFE
Middle age is not too late to
start in order to increase your life
span. Some new diet facts, just
published by Cornell University
,nutritionists show that even after
40 it may be possible to alter a
destiny which seemingly has been
fixed by early life habits.
.There is one outstanding "vari-
able," a food factor which can
be changed with certainty of'giv-
ing important results.
This variable is fatness. Hold-
ing down fatness definitely leng-
thens the lives of the niiddIe-aged
animals. Letting them get fat
by eating as much as they want
shortens their lives.

HEAT PRESERVES MILK
It has been the .general practice
to chill milk immediately after it
has been taken from the cow and
to keep it refrigerated up to and
after the process of pasteuriza-
tion to prevent it from becoming
rancid. Investigations at the. Uni-
versity of California by Drs. N. P.
Tarassuk and G. A. Richardson
have demonstrated that the best
way to prevent rancidity is to
keep the milk warm, between. 80
and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, for
one to three hours.

DEBUNKING SPINACH
Some doubts of the value of
spinach in the diet are raised by
recent experiments with rats and
tadpoles. Dr, Robert W. Briggs,
of McGill University, fed largo
numbers of tadpoles the same diet
except that in one the vegetable
element was supplied by spinach
and in the other .by lettuce, The
growth rate generally was nor-
mal, but autopsies on 252 or those
receiving spinach revealed that
127 had numerous large kidney
stones. Autopsies on seventy-
four receiving lettuce showed only
two such cases, and these Stones
were very small.
