rTne Hercules Powder company
announced tonight it will build
pilot plant at Klamath Falls,
Ore., for study of the chemistry
of western woods. It may be a
forerunner of extensive expan
sion in the west.
Property of some 50 acres was
bought for the project from the
Weyerhaeuser Timber company.
It includes several small build
ings, a powerhouse, railroad
sidings, fire lines and a water
tower.
Hercules has been conducting
research on western woods for
two years and further process
research is planned at the new
location.
"The western woods contain
number of interesting organic
ph.micals," A. E. Forster, a di
rector' of the company said.
"These include some of com
mercial value.
"'Hercules will make use of ex
tlon of chemicals from pine
tepsive experience in the extrac
weod gained in the southeastern
Ubited States. Depending upon
the results of the pilot plant
w6rk in Klamath Falls, Hercules
may require, at some time in the
future, substantial manufactur
ing facilities in the ' western
states."

beam of X-rays the shape of a
This is something new in beams of any kind. Other beams
are fan-shaped. This beam is
from a betatron, a new high-energy electrical machine producing
25-million volt X-rays.
The rays are invisible, but
photographic film reveals their
peculiar formation.
The betatron is a box, higher
than your head, sheathed in me
tal, none of the inner works vis
ible. Shoulder high on the beta
tron face is a round hole, big as
your wrist. A yard in front of
the hole Dr. John S. Laughlin
sets up a target, a sheet of pho
tographic film.
When the film is developed
shows a round, black disc, the
same size as the hole in the be
tatron's face. The edges of the
black spot are sharp as if cut by
knife. The X-rays went
through bunched, as rigid as if
they had the form of a long,
round pole.
...
This betatron beam reaches a
cancer with the accuracy of a
surgeon's knife.
The rays drive so hard that
they pass through skin and sur
fs c e tissues without causing
much damage. As they hit the
tissues the rays produce elec
trons, but these too travel so
hard and so fast that they cause
little surface damage.
The greatest burning effect is
deep below the skin. This makes
the pole-shaped beam a new
cancer tool.
Aiming this invisible beam Is
difficult. The target is an unseen
place inside the body. The bul
lets are invisible. Only the pa
tient can be in the room when
the betatron fires.
Models of the cancer patient
have to be made for aiming.
To date marksmanship has
been only on heads and necks.
The model heads are exact re
productions of the patient's lines
and contours, perfect enough to
be prize-winning sculptures.
The model is set in the position
the patient will occupy, and sur
veying fixes this position down
to the smallest fraction of an
inch.
Phantom heads are made of
scores of thin layers. Between
each layer is a sheet of photo
graphic film. The beam is shot
into this phantom, and the film
records the X-ray strength and
damage at every depth.
The patient sits or lies In the
measured position. He feels no
pain. In fact he doesn't feel the
ray at all. But he cannot wear
a collar button. He must not
wear his glasses. Because either
metal might become radolactlve.
Occasionally when these 25
mlllion volt rays strike some
thing they are captured some-

often transmute the atoms they
strike. This is the same transmu
tation as done in atomic piles,
and creates the same kinds of
radioactivity.
Because of this the walls of
the betatron room are covered
with materials that do not trans
mit readily. This induced radio
activity is no risk to the patient,

Farmers' 1950

By DILLON UKAIIAM
Washington, Nov. 1 Farmers' realized net income may
drop IS per cent next year, government economists say.
Agriculture department economists checked over crops and
prices and trends and come up
A 15 per cent decline below
drop as occurred this year, the
department's report said.
But, it cheerfully pointed out:
"This still would be more than
two and a half times the aver
age 1935-30 net income."
And
"Lower net Income probably
would be offset in part by some
what lower living costs in 1950."
Of special Interest to Iowa.
where most of the hogs are
raised (and whose farmers lead
the country in income) is the
forecast for:
1. More hogs.
2. Lower prices for pork and
hogs.
The report also said:
Farm costs in 1B50 are likely
to decline moderately, but more
than this year.
The cost of lab6r, expendi
tures for feed and livestock, de
preciation charges and rents may
be lower.
But other outlays, such as
taxes, - farm mortgage interest,
and fertilizers, may be about
the same or even a little higher.
