VARIETY del-taking an extensive investigation. According to V. O. Campbell, acting chief chemist the investigation will be conducted through a laboratory or crop chemistry, recently established, which wilt determine if there are any fundamental chemical differences in the composition of flint or hard corn and the dent corn largely produced in the t'nited States. j The laboratory will undertake stu l dies on the composition of agricul I tural crops in a fundamental way. .Additional work will be carried on com-ermng' the influence of environ ment on the chemical composition at crops, including certain features of fertilization, such as the relation of chemical composition and food valuy of crops to the time of fertilizer applW cation. 1'revions work has been di rected chiefly toward the quanUtiy viewpoint. The new work wilt be di rected to quality. .May Change Quality "It is known, for instance," says Mr. Campbell, "that the application of certain fertilizer to a crop like corn will increase the yield quantitatively. this class of feeds is of prime import anue. i nis research involves the very t xistence of all animals and is insepa rubly connected with the field of nu trition.

Varietal differ j ences will be studied from, a chemical I standpoint. "One of the most, important re searches now under way is that upon vegetable proteins. Inasmuch as nit rogen is an essential part of animal tissues and the animal can obtain this necessary nitrogen only in the form of protein in its food, it is obvious that ' & r.v 'tifer rgsa war ' t he most important ot the now work, foj- which the American firms will bid, is the building of a small in dustrial city at Tsurfuml between To kio and Yokohama, for the Shibr.ura Engineering company, which is asso ciated with the Oeneral Kleclrie com pany of America.

He inspected his fields on Christmas c'ay. Kd Marshall says that his wheat is In pretty good shape, but he is antici pating that some reseeding will be necessary in his locality. Senator Henry J. Taylor declared this morning that on his farm the stand is one of the best secured in sev eral years. Harold Maioney who operates the Maloney land on the reservation thinks that the stand of winter wheat will be good. The warm weather is having a very beneficial effect on it. nnd some kernals that hod just sprouted when the cold weather froze the ground are now either Just com ing through the ground or soon will be through. Spots which were bare a short time since now show green tips, he declares.
