An hour of work in Great Britain pro- duces less in material product, rel- atively to other countries, than it used to, and less than it will have to if the British people are to keep their place among those with high standards of living." The criticism is well within the facts. Some of the wool carding machinery in use is over 80 years old. Automatic looms in Great Britain cover no more than five per cent of the industry, while in the United . States they cover 95 per Cent. The textile industries of sev- eral other countries had in 1939 a considerably larger proportion than Great Britain. These are irrefutable facts, yet Britain cannot be written off. She has made a tremendous contribu- tion to a saner and better world. Those who know her past will not under -estimate her future.

New Theory: Earth Began as a Deep Freeze (From the Washington Post) Well, if you're still worried about this Winter's fuel bills and electric light bills, it is doubtless comfort- ing to be assured by no less an authority than Dr. Harold C. Urey that the world is getting warmer all the time and the days longer. The idea seems. to be that radio- activity at the centre of the earth —which, as you probably know, is nothing but a great, molten, white- hot mass of iron anyhow—con- tinues to generate and send up to the surface vast currents of heat. For a long time all this energy was used up in the business of getting the continents, most of them rather huge and clumsy affairs, shifted to their proper positions on the planet and in getting the great mountain ranges where they belong. But now that the continents are all in place, the heat goes on being generated just the same. Having nothing better to do, it expends itself in pushing around great land masses in a way that alters the inertia of the earth, so that it requires a longer and longer time to rotate upon its axis. Thus, since the age of Confucius or thereabouts, the days have been getting longer at the rate o'f two thousandths of a second every hundred years, and, of course, the centuries are getting longer, too. All this, if Dr. Urey knows what he is talking about, indi- cates. that the watches and clocks of this world, including those of the Naval Observatory, and for that matter even the sun dials, are slow by at least several seconds. In the next two billion years or so, Dr. TJrey said, the radioactivity of the earth will in- crease the temperature of the sur- face by several thousand degrees. That prospect sounds considerably less comfortable than our famous Washington Summers. In other words, it will be the heat rather than the humidity we shall com- plain about. ,But before you worry too much, it might be well to reflect that Dr. Urey's cosmogenic theory is the di- rect opposite of the one now prev- alently held. The orthodox theory —!that is, the one expounded by La Place, and until recently set forth in the school books—is that the earth was originally a fiery mass that presently cooled off en- ough on the surface to permit the development of plant and animal life. Dr. Urey seems to think that this hypothesis has been rendered untenable by the discoveries of nuclear science. The evidence now is that the earth was just one vast deep-freeze unit until it was grad- ually thawed out by the radioac- tivity of its minerals. Life then originated in some primeval pile of slush or snow. We suspect that our scientific friends will be arguing rather pas- sionately about Dr. Urey's notions for a long time and that the argu- ment will end, like the old-fashion- ed: argument about whether the universe is winding up or running down. in a draw. • So it might be a good idea to go ahead and order your Winter's supply of coal or fuel oil, just as you would have done if Dr. Urey had not made hie speech the other day to the National Academy of Sciences at Rochester.

Clothilde, Quebec, a large number of experiments in connec- tion with the nutrition of the potato crop have been conducted during the past ten years. These experiments have shown that with- out exception good quality on this soil type is associated, with high yield, and high yields are obtained only with a correct balance of nutrients. Organic soils, peat and muck, are composed largely of organic mat- ter and contain a relatively small amount of mineral nutrients, says F. S. Browne, Division -of Horti- culture, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Of these, potash is present in extremely small quanti- ties; phosphoric acid content is moderate and total nitrogen very high. Accordingly, a fertilizer high in potash, low in nitrogen and mod- erate in phosphoric acid is requir- ed on these soil types for the pota- to crop. In' general, these require- ments can be met with a fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash in the proportion of 1, 4 and 8 or a 2-8-16. With lower potash, or higher nitrogen and phosphoric acid, both yield and quality of the crop has been re- duced at Ste. Clothilde. With in- creased potash or lower nitrogen and phosphoric acid the quality of the crop remains high but the yield is decreased. As a rule organic soils do not contain sufficient trace or minor elements for the correct nutritiop of many vegetable crops. Of these, boron and copper are most com- monly deficient for the potato crop. Under normal procedure copper is supplied in sufficient quantity by copper compounds applied as sprays or dust for disease control. With boron, care must be observ- ed, as a slight excess over crop requirements in organic soils may prove harmful On the other hand a deficiency in .the soil will lower both yield and quality of the crop. At Ste. Clothilde it has been found that, on boron deficient areas, an application of ten to fifteen pounds of borax every second or third year will supply sufficient boron for moderately heavy yields of pota- toes. The amount of fertilizer to apply will depend to some extent on the available soil moisture. On non- irrigated, dry muck land areas it is probable that no more than one thousand pounds of 2-8-16 per acre can he utilized by a potato crop. On other areas where water control is effected by seepage irrigation, or other means, a profitable re- sponse may be obtained• from ap- plications up to two thousand pounds per acre; providing climatic conditions are satisfactory. On the muck land areas of Southwestern Quebec, crops of four hundred. to five hundred. bushels per acre,are being consistently obtained with applications of fifteen hundred pounds of 2-8-16 per acre.
