STARK Use of old World war “tear gas” in another type of warfare in the soil is being used today, reports of the plant pathology department at Cornell university indicate. This gas is used to partially sterilize soils and kill harmful or ganisms. Known as chloropicrin, a heavy, oily, colorless liquid that readily vaporizes into a pungent tear gas, it quickly changes to a gas and diffuses throughout the soil after in jection. For many years it has been re alized that the soils in which plants grow harbor injurious organisms. Several means have been used to destroy them, namely cultural prac tices, heat, and chemicals. The pos sible use of chloropicrin was re vealed during the World war when large quantities were used as tear gas. Since then, the use of this war time material has been developed far enough so it can be used suc cessfully to partially sterilize soils. The gas is toxic to all forms of life, and it is completely volatile; there fore, no residue remains in the soil upon aeration. The material is applied into the soil by an applicator, which works on the principle of the hypodermic needle. Small amounts are injected into the soil to a depth of about six inches. Injections are usually made about 12 inches apart. With the ap paratus, one man can treat from 1,000 to 1,500 square feet of soil in an hour. Chloropicrin is being used to steri lize soil to eliminate disease-causing fungi, insects, nematodes, and weeds and their seeds. Its most efficient use to date has been in compost piles, but it has also been effective ly used to sterilize seed beds and in benches or ground beds in green houses. Its extensive field use is said to be limited only because of the rath er high cost of the material. Soil conditions at the time the tear gas is applied are important. In fumigating soils, the gas must pene trate through all parts of the soil to destroy the organisms, and a lethal concentration of the gas must be kept in contact with the organisms long enough to kill them. After the pests are killed, the va por should escape as rapidly as pos sible, the horticulturists were told. The speaker stated that .a light sandy soil with a medium amount of moisture, and at a fairly high temperature (above 65 dgrees Fahrenheit) is ideal for fumigation.

(June 27-July 25) ______ Farmers Test Fertilizer With Field Experiments The idea that modern farmers buy a pig in a poke, or accept farming practices without giving them a practical trial, is exploded by the results of a recently completed sur vey of 32,000 farmers. Forty-seven per cent of 32,000 farmers interviewed in 35 states re ported that they conducted experi ments in their own fields, tried out different kinds and amounts of fer tilizer, and made comparisons on results obtained. Not only did the survey conducted by the National Fertilizer association show that farmers test the values of different kinds of fertilizers and fertilizer practices, but 44 per cent reported that they conducted experiments on fields with and without fertilizer to find out for themselves whether the practice pays. This represents a gain of 7 per cent over the number who conducted a similar experiment in the last survey made on this point. After cons;dering the results of their tests, 63 per cent reported that they are planning to use more fer tilizer, and only 12 per cent stated they had had any unsatisfactory re sults from fertilizer during the past three years.
