He was Ambassador to Mos- cow for three years during the Hitler- 'Stalin pact and the Nazi in- vasioii of Russia, and following that he had three tense years in Ankara. He was Ambassador to Prague when the Communists took control Czechoslovakia. Born in New York City, October 6, 1892, Steinhardt received his early education from tutors. He was grad- uated from Columbia University in, New York City with a degree in law, became a member of the New York State Bar Association, and worked as an accountant for two years. He served in the United States Army during World War 1, entering as a private and becoming a sergeant in the field artillery.. Steinhardt was associate counsel for the War Department during 1918 and 1919. He served as a member of the Provost Marshal General's staff and as an assistant in the Housing and Health Division of the War. De- partment. Returning to New York. he be- came a member of his uncle's firm, practiced law privately and acquired considerable wealth before 1933, when he was appointed Minister of Sweden. During his 13 years as a lawyer he also served as director of 10 corporations. wrote a number of books and articles on jurisprudence, finance and trade unions, and crossed the Atlantic scores of tinges to handle the affairs of his firm's clients.. He believes that study of law is the hest training for a diplo- mat. Steinhardt was appointed Ambas- sador to Peru in 1937 and served as a delegate to the Eighth Interna- tional Conference of American States at Liina, Peru, in 1938. He helped frame the Declaration of Lima, which proclaimed the solidar- ity of the American republics and provided for meetings of the foreign ministers if the peace of the hemis- phere were threatened.

As the invading Germans ap- proached Moscowin the autumn of 1941, Ambassador Steinhardt, with the rest of the diplomatic corps, moved the temporary Soviet capital of Kuikyshev. and later flew back to the United States.

He was named Ambassador to Czechoslovakia in De- cember 1944, and served there until shortly before he was named envoy to Canada. In Canada he succeeded Ray Atherton, now a member of the United States delegation to the United Nations General Assembly. Steinhardt received the United States Medal for merit for his ser- vices to the United States while serving as Ambassador to Turkey. "A facile speaker and hard work- er, with a keenly analytical mind", according to Time Magazine, the 56 year old Steinhardt likes to keep his finger on every detail of his diplo- matic post. Current Biography says he has a "tremendous capacity for detail and thoroughness . . . No trouble is too great for him, no de- tailthe sort of man tail too petty. He is who will investigate a report on a given subject from 20 different angles, well knowing that only one stands a chance of being acted on, and is more than satisfied if event- ually action is secured." His wife and 22 year old daughter, Dulcie- Ann, accompanied frim to Ottawa where Miss Steinhardt shares the role of diplomatic hostess with her mother.

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS FOR GRAIN AND HAY CROPS In recent years since the soil sur- vey, a number of fertilizer tests have been conducted in the 'field and greenhouse, in cooperation with farmers on different soil types, by the Field Husbandry Division, Cen- tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa, and at several of the Eastern Branch Farms, says A. J. MacLean. Results show that oats respond to nitrogen on nearly all soils, to phosphorous on many soils, but to potash on only a few sandy soils. Greenhouse tests, on soil from five farms on each of ten soil types, ranging from sands to clay soils, in Carleton County, Ont., indicate av- erage increases In oat yields of 40.0 per cent, 27.6 per cent, and 1.6 per cent from nitrogen, phosphorus- and potash treatments, respectively. Field tests, on different farms on e ranging .from fang soil typesands s to clay loams in the same County, showed average increases in oat yields of 7.1 and 3.9 bushels per acre =from nitrogen and phosphorus respectively, but no increase from potash treatments. In field tests, on five soil types, conducted at Exper- imental Farm, Nappan, N.S., nitro- gen and phosphorus increased oat yields, but potash had little or no effect. Nitrogen and phosphorus ap- plied together produced increases in grain yields of '7.7 to 21.1 bush- els ,per ushels,per acre on various soils in the Ottawa area, and 4.6 to 20.4 bushels per acre on different soils in the Nappan area. Greenhouse results at Ottawa have shown that the yields of alfalfa following the oat crop, have been in- creased by phosphorus treatment on most soils, and by potash treatment on all but the heavier soils. The hay yields in field -tests in this area, showed increases as high as 1098 and 394 pounds of dry matter, from phosphorus and potash treatments, respectively, although the degree of response varied on the different soils. In both field and greenhouse tests, nitrogen applied to the oat crop, depressed the yields of hay. These decreases varied on the dif ferent soils from 12 to 581 pounds of dry matter in field tests in the Ottawa area. A supplementary treat- ment of minerals to the oat stubble produced increase in hay yields ranging from 172 to 1122 pounds of dry matter on the various soils. Thus, for grain grown alone, some stress is placed on nitrogen require- ments, in addition to phosphorus, but if the grain crop is to serve as a nurse crop to a legume seeding, a relatively lower level of nitrogen should be used, with emphasis on phosphorus and potash ,requirements.
