One of the Tommies there lost his bayonet, and rather than face the consequences of admitting the misdemeanor, carved out an excellent imitation of the missing weapon. For weeks he went about his duties with the fake concealed in his scabbard, safe from censure so long as his handiwork went undetected. When the inevitable order came to "Fix Bayonets," however, he was undone. He simply stood there, his scabbard un- touched. The sergeant demanded an explanation. "It's a promise I made my father," said the Tommy. "As he lay on his death-be- d I told him I would never bare a bayonet on the anniversary of his death." "That's the damndest fish story I ever heard!" the sergeant "Lemme see that bayonet!"

The poor guy Is back at MGM. Marketing administration recently estimated that the United States will dehydrate vegetables at the rate of 850 to 400 million pounds in 1943 as compared with 100 million pounds in 1942. Yet last year's totals were seven times the 1940 volume. "To meet the 1943-4dehydrated food requirements as presently known," he added, "will require ev ery third egg, and one out of every 12 pounds, of whole milk produced. Requirements for dehydrated meat, a year ago, practically will be approximately 60 million pounds in 1943." Dehydration Saves Shipping. The remarkable impetus given de hydration grew out of a shortage of (hipping space, cans and containers, to meet lend-leas- e demands and the food requirements of our fighting Allies. One ship loaded with dehydrated food can carry upward of 10 times as much food as a ship loaded with bulk food. in Improvements dehydration technique have followed two major trends. One has been to compress the food into an incredibly small space. The other has been to preserve the food's palatability and nutritional value. Many foods normally average 90 per cent water. Dehydration as originally practiced meant removing most of the water. Now the food is not only dehydrated but as well, by having the air pressed out of it. The result is food compressed into blocks or briquettes. Thus it is possible to have a serving of meat carrots, cabbage, milk and eggs that would provide all the elements of a hearty meal and yet take up no more shipping room than a package of cigarettes. Typical food volume reductions as a result of dehydration and com- - Larry Lesueur, the CBS correspondent, visited a soldiers' hospital in Moscow, he chatted with a wounded man who the doctors said wouldn't be able to fight again.

One pound of potato bricks yields 24 n container of helpings. A dried tomatoes swells to a quarter of a ton when water is added. Dehydrated Foods Flavorful. As contrasted with their crude predecessors of World War I, today's dehydrated foods are flavorful. Dunked and cooked in water, these foods emerge with almost no sacrifice of flavor and with practically no loss of proteins, carbohydrates, and minerals. They suffer no greater loss of vitamins than when occurs when fresh vegetables stand for a time in a store. Hence it is no surprise that American soldiers can relish scrambled eggs made from a dehydrated powder. Or that Englishmen eat and like meat loaves and stews that crossed the Atlantic as tiny shreds of dried meat Thus milk, butter, citrus juices, as well as potatoes, peas, spinach and a host of other food products are being successfully dehydrated. The extent to which dehydration has already caught hold with the civilian population here in America is indicated by the fact that housewives are buying dehydrated soups at the rate of 100 million packages a year. If dehydration offers challenging possibilities for future farm markets, then chemurgy, its industrial coun- five-gallo- 'I reader requests the origin of the word "racket."

In the field of plastics, gluten, a residue of corn, is being effectively of used, as is casein, a milk. But perhaps the biggest contribution to plastics is being made by soybeans. Thanks to soybeans, the automobile of the future may be grown from the soil. Already, gear shift handles, steering wheels, window frames, distributors and a considerable variety of other parts are made of soybeans. The basic molding material for numerous plastics is a soybean compound. Thus radio cabinets and plumbing fixtures in postwar America may be merely a mold of soybean cakes. Yes, farms can be made the source of our future prosperity. Scientists and industrialists can get farm materials from which to make new commodities and promote increased factory production from which prosperity springs. In this era of definitely new agricultural development, one factor will loom big in determining success or failure. That factor is productivity of the soil For the extent to which our farms can continue to yield crops for the new dehydration Indus-trfor chemurgic utilization into industrial products or to help feed the world in the critical postwar period, will depend on the fertility of the soil that produces those crops. Vincent Sauchelli, agricultural research expert of Baltimore, Md., in an address before a Farm Chemurgic conference once said: "Chemurgy can succeed only on farm land where plant foods are returned to the soil in the form of commercial fertilizer at a rate which at .least balances the amount removed each year by growing crops and livestock. "One of the significant steos for- ward," he added, "is that which helps the farmer learn moreabout his particular soil and its nlant fnnrl needs. State agricultural experi ment stations are prepared to assist farmers not only in soil tpst to determine the proper fertilizer analyses for various crops, but also inform them on the placement tn insure best results." The importance of Mr. Sauchclli's observations is evident when it is considered that after the war Amer ica will be faced with the greatest soil rehabilitation Job in its history. This is because vast wartime farm production demands are drawinw fertility resources on an unprecedented scale and because fertilizer applications at present cannot balance the depletion rate. "Growing crops to win the war is, of course, the farmers' No. 1 job," said a statement of the Middle West Soil Improvement Commlttp.. a heavy draft on the farmer's 'sav- mgs account' of plant food elements is a relatively small contribution to victory, if proper steps are made to repay the borrowed soil wealth when the war is over."

In fact. It is as ancient as the sun that has been drying the water out of things for ages. But to the old dehydration processes have been added new techniques that have so revolutionized its future possibilities, that some economists predict that food dehydration plants may become as common in agricultural areas as canneries and condenseries are today.
