I DESTRUCTIONS Years Bring Industrial 'Self-Sufficiency j 'Europe Coes to Work on Synthetic Industries R turmoil in Europe led to the sudden rise of jthe economic ideal of or the strict confinement bf trade within a nations borders, Growing out of a desire for advantage as well as the POST-WA- mili-jta- ry avoidance of unemployment and loss of cold reserves. It cannot be denied jtbat In spite of the effect upon International trade, this state of economic warfare has encouraced surprising technical progress In the field of syn Ithetlc chemistry. It might be recalled that necessity bas always been a spur to technical progress. The natural nitrate monopoly bf Chile was broken as the result of military necessity during the war, leading to the discovery of a method of recovering nitrates from the air by fixation, to cite only one example. Synthetic Substances. Spurred on by almost fanatical patriotism, chemistry In several Euro-iea- n countries baa lately been turned go the development of synthetic substitutes for natural products with the result that startling advances have been made In the synthesis of explosives, dyes, gasoline, synthetic fibers, building materials, and fertilisers. Germany, for example, has developed gasoline with a high alcoholic content, the alcohol . being distilled from surplus potatoes, and Is conducting researches to develop a practical engine for motor cars which does not use gasoline, practically In Its natural atate In tbe Belch. homes came Into If p general use, It would be a break" for the synthetic industries. Plastics would form a large part of such houses, being used for floors, door panels, and many Mineral-wood,- " Other fixtures. supposedly not subject to fire and rot, tos-concrete," and other such materials would also play their part Room for Food Advances. It la In the synthesis of food that there la room for the greatest advance. Synthetic foods have never been successfully made on a wide scale. England came close to starvation during the height of the submarine blockade and Americans living durof 1910-1ing the war well remember the sugarless, meatless, and other less days, designed to conserve tbe food supply of the nation, although there was never any actually dangerous flood shortage. A fair Imitation of beef tea can now be made from a certain type of yeast mould, but the chemist making a synthetic tenderloin steak, smothered In synthetic onions, will deserve all the decorations and honors which would be his reward. For the time being most of the new synthetic Industries do not seriously threaten the use of natural materials outside the frontiers of the 'nation where they sprang up. However, the rapid rise of two synthetic industries n the past few decades, warns against their being taken too lightly. The rayon Industry has developed to the compoint where It Is a petitor of the natural silk Industry, and there Is little doubt that synthetic rubber Is gradually dispossessing the Importation of natural rubbers. Both of these Industries are ousting the natural product In countries such as the United States, not at all concerned with frenzied efforts towards building up a nation, tree from Imports. If the same advance Is made In other lines, we shall soon see competition between natnral and synthetic products outside the boundaries of or autocratic nations. asbes- cut-thro- t" Insects Wear Others Heads; Live Normally VIENNA. Insects can get as well with other insects along heads set upon their decapitated Jbodies as they can with their own, It appears from experiments performed here by Dr. Atma Malabottl of the Biological Research Institute of the .Vienna Academy of Sciences. Doctor Malabottl worked with the "'nymphs" or young stages of as well as with the larvae of other Insects, lie held their bodlea securely In soft wax, anesthetized them, cut off their heads and quickly substituted heads of other individuals of the same species. The transplants quickly took," and presently the Insects were as active ns ever, apparently quite unaware that each one was made up of pieces of two Individuals. They fed and shed their skins In regular fashion. The female grasshoppers grew up and eventually laid eggs from which quite normal little grasshoppers were hatched. All tlie Insects liad normal reactions and movements of legs and grass-Stopper- s, The region lies In what is known as the driftless area," a part of the Midwest that was not covered with Ice during the glacial age, overlapping the adjoining corners of the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois. it Is called driftless" because of the absence of the drift" soil produced by the glaciers everywhere else In that part of the country. Part of the driftless region was occupied during the Ice age by a great shallow lake; which geologists call Lake Wisconsin, lying In what la now central Wisconsin. Professor Fassett relates Its decline and fall In a single sentence: The bed of this lake has largely developed Into bog; the bogs were drained some 25 years ago, the dry peat bnrned, and the ashes blew away, leaving a sandy desert." Into this costly monument to man's manbad Judgment in agement, trees and lesser plants have moved. The trees consist principally of Jack pine, scrub onk and quaking aspen. The smaller plants have a decided flavor of the Southwest about them: bluestem grass, prairie clover, false Indigo and leadplnnt They seem to be making themselves quite at home on the sand. The driftless area generally has good corn land on the plateau-liktopa of Its uplands and on the flat bottoms of Its ravine-llk- e valleys. The slopes are too steep for cultivation. According to exposure, they bear heavy stands of timber or are covered with prairie grasses. Both timbered and grassy slopes are for the most part overpastured, so that the natural slow process of erosion has been destructively speeded up. To the student of nature, the great Interest of the drlftless ares lies In Its character as a meeting place of diverse types of vegetation. Not only are there prairie plants on the exposed slopes, but in the more sheltered parts there are species, such as the Arctic primrose, that are not to be found anywhere else this side of Labrador. Besides these, and constituting the great number of strange species, are plants found elsewhere only in the southeastern United States, especially In the southern Alleghenies. It appears probable that these plants were there before the last great advance of the glaciers, perhaps longer, and that they lived there during all the centuries of glaciation, an Island of flowers In s sea of Ice.

GREEN RIVER, UT, The Cantaloupe crop in the Green River valley has been abundant this season, the weather has been ideal and practically no pests to contend with. Shipments began about Aug. 15, and are expected ' to continue until frost. Eastern points for market are St. Louis, Chicago, New York, Pittsburgh and Boston. There have been shipped 146 cars, a car consists of 720 flat crates or 320 large ones. It has required as many as 21 pickers a day per 100 acres; the acreage in the valley being 600. SALT LAKE CITY, UT. In- crease in Utah's manufacturing tomato and string bean crops are forecast in a report released at the office of Frank Andrews, federal statistician. In manufacturing tomatoes this years acreage u 67,000, producing 36,800 tons, compared with 53,000 acres and 26,000 tons last year. The acreage devoted to shipping tomatoes this year is 1,200 compared with 900 last year, but the production is less, amounting to about 84,000 bushels this season as against 114,000 a year ago. String beans were grown on 600 acres this year compared with 480 in 1934 and the estimated production, 1,700 tons compared with 1,300 tons a year ago. OGDEN, UT.
