Industry J Licked Rubber Shortage ? Success of the government-Indus- * try team in attaining mass produc- ? tion of high grade synthetic rub- ? bers before the precious stockpile ' of natural rubber had melted away ? is reflected in the table on rubber consumption through the war years. . Chief of the war-winning types of rubber in the production picture " was the government's general pur pose synthetic, GR-S. In the face ' of a mad scramble for construe- * tion priorities, scarce materials, hard-to-get chemicals, and at times almost nonexistent manpower, GR- * S consumption jumped from 108 tons in 1941 to 2,579 in 1942; 131,977 in J 1943 ; 495,552 in 1944 and to 800,001 " tons in 1945?more than this nation ' had ever used of all types of rub- : ber in a normal peacetime year. During that time the outcome of 1 the race with the stockpile was fre- ' quently close, for over a period of many months the natural rubber ' stockpile stood at less than 100,000 ' tons, the critical danger point de- ' fined by the Baruch report early in 1 the war. Natural rubber consump- ' tion had shrunk from 775.000 tons in 1941 to 376,791 tons In 1942; 317,634 tons in 1943; 144,113 tons in 1944 and only 105,406 tons in 1945. Judging Eyesight That it is difficult to predict the 1 condition of a person'* eyei a few years in the future is indicated in a study of eyesight of midshipmen at the naval academy. Many young i men admitted to the academy with supposedly normal vision became short-sighted a year or two after their entrance. It is believed that latent or low degrees of near-sight edness existed in many of the en trants, and under the strain of long : hours of reading and other work, j the shortcomings progressively be 1 came worse. The report of the medi , cal officers of the academy states j that it is impossible to predict with ( any degree of certainty the prob able future vision of a person, but experience has led them to consider 1 all candidates showing less than i one unit at farsightedness to be | doubtful cases in so far as the main tenance of normal vision during their tour years attendance at the academy are concerned. ' Evidence of tuberculosis of the bone has been found on the .ununified bodies of early Egyp .tiana. I Joyd-Wilkins Wadding Miss Erma Lloyd of Burlingtoi and Dr. J. C.

Great Britain's iron nd steel industry is about to enter period of new development The rar prevented any large expansion f facilities such as the United Itates accomplished. Now the Brit ih are preparing modernization lans which may involve the spend ng of 100 million pounds. In the new postwar era the Brit ih industry expects to be called ipon for large amounts of steel for onstruction, automobiles and other onsumer goods, shipbuilding, ex torts and other fields. The British industry has been pro lucing around 13,000,000 tons of in ;ots and castings annually during he war. In the First World war, teel production reached a peak of 1,730,000 tons in 1917. In 1939 pro luction had climbed to 13,221,000 ons. In 1943 output was 13,031,000 ons. As in the United States, war equirements for plates, alloy steels ind heavy sheets were high. The largest steel and pig iron pro lucing district, making almost 30 per cent of the prewar pig iron out put and over 20 per cent of the rteel, is the north-east coast district 1 idjacent to the Newcastle coal I fields. Strawberries Need Nutrients Liberal amounts of plant nutrients i are essential to the production of ; good crops of strawberries. InsufR nHrneen in the soil results in tmall crop*, and late maturity of berries. Ample phosphorus In the soil has been found to give berries a better flavor. Sufficient potash causes leaves to stand up better, re sulting in healthier plants and more berries. Other essential plant food elements also play an important part in the development of high qual ity fruit. For instance, recent ex periments show that a lack of boron will cause misshapen, inferior ber ries. It is highly desirable to in crease the supply of plant nutri ents in the soil at the time the bed is prepared. Apply a complete bal anced plant food to the soil at the rate of four pounds per 100 square feet and work into the soil. Or if desired, plant food may be applied in the row and mixed thoroughly with the toil before setting out plants. A month after planting, give another application of plant food, applying it alongside the row, some distance from the roots, at the rate of one pound per 90 feet of row. Make a similar application again in Aagwt, to encourage and aid for mation of flower buds tor next spring's crop. | Attended Funeral of Mre. J.

Blueberry Plant* Blueberriei prefer an acid toll, thriving beat on soils that have pH's ranging between 4 } and 9.S. Large blueberry plants?plants two years or older?are much better for trans planting than small plants. Before setting out the plants, place a lib eral amount of peat moss or other sources of humus, such as well rotted leaves, in the hole dug for the plant and mix H Into the soil. The plants should be set deeper in the ground than they were at the nursery. The soil should be Armed around the roots. This can be done by watering the plants after they have been set out Tops of the plants should be pruned back to within four to six inches of the ground. Mulching the soil with well rotted sawdust is necessary to keep the ground from becoming too dry during the summer months. Leaker Popularity Home freezers and freezer lock ers are not likely to be as popular in the future when frozen foods be come generally available in stores, says the department of agricul ture.
