tion report said the price of food
at the farmers gate may average
lightly below this year. But the
cost of marketing those foods
may be slightly higher.

farm costs, the report" said retail

Strangeist of World's Strange
Animals Live in Octopus Kidney
Br DELOS SMITH
; United Press Science Editor
. New York-ljflJ.R) Ohe of the
strangest of all the world's,
strange animals is the dicyemid.
It lives in the kidney- of the
actopus. And it gives birth to its
own grandchildren.
Dr. Mayard McConnaughey
and his wife, Evelyn, who are
among the foremost authorities,
called the attention of science
to the dicyemid today because
they're stuck in their studies on
a particular point.
How does a dicyemid get from
one octopus to another? You
rarely if ever will find an acto
pus without a nation of dlcye
mids flourishing in its kidney,
but how in the world do the tiny
creatures -manage it? "' : -
Largest Are Small
The largest dicyemid won't be
more than 10 millimeters long,
which is a little less than four
tenths of an inch. The smallest
is less than one half of a mili
meter. They have no organs, no
nervous system, no stomach, no
muscles. They're worms and Just
about the most lowly.
They squeeze their young Into
the octopus kidney from any pore
of their bodies. The pore closes
Instantly. There is no sign any
thing happened.
Two Kinds of Young
Their young are of two kinds.
The first kind is like the par
ent, only smaller. It rams one of
its ends into the wall of the
actopus' kidney and stays there.
All that happens is that it grows
and soon starts squeezing forth
young of its own. Thus, the na
tion grows. This kind you'll find
in young octbpi.
The other kind looks more
like a single cell .creature than
a multi-cell animal, which is the
dicyemid. At birth they leave the
kidney at once and swim freely
In the ocean. This kind you'll

I fr l ' training a few sea
f ja, B sons back, two big
league baseball
, teams scheduled
, exhibition games
.in a Mexican city,
and arrived there
' In chartered Greyhound coaches.
The people, gathered on the side
walks, waved and threw flow
ers at the buses.
"Listen to them holler," said
one of the managers. We'll have
a sellout sure'"
"Pardon, Senors," said their
Mexican host, "but it is not the
pelota players they are cheering.
Thees is the forst time they have
seen a Greyhound bos!'
' Travelers who take their first
ride by Greyhound are enthusi
astic, too, not only because of
the low cost, but because they
are so close to everything the
people, towns, cities and coun
tryside. It's really fun by Grey
hound, and free trip planning
service makes it even more
pleasant. Your hotel rooms will
be reserved and sightseeing ar
ranged at stopover points, if de
sired, at no extra charge.
Or you can save time and
ride straight thru by Greyhound
Express, without change of bus
or baggage. There's thru Grey
hound service to many eastern
points, in new air-ride picture
window buses, at no extra fare.
These features make Grey
hound travel ideal for fall va
cation travel, too, and one can
choose from hundreds of expense-paid
tours to national parks,
the historic East, Alaska, Can
ada, Mexico, the Caribbean and
countless other places.
' I want to tell you about an
other kind of Greyhound vaca
tion the escorted tour. In this
case you travel by special bus,
with a tour conductor in charge
to handle all details and tell in
teresting facts about the places
you see and visit. For example.
Greyhound is now offering five
"Great Southwest Escorted
Tours," leaving San Francisco
Dec. 4, Jan. 8, Feb. 5, and Mar.
5. And what a trip it lsl You tra
vel de luxe by air-ride, picture
window coach . . , stop at fine
hotels ... visit a Wickenburg
guest ranch, with dinner and
breakfast included . . . enjoy
sightseeing in Phoenix . . . see
Grand Canyon and Carlsbad
Caverns, El Paso, Las Vegas,
Hoover Dam, other fascinating
places.
And the price for 11 wonder
ful days from San Francisco,
twin room rate per person, plus
tax, is only $183.85, plus trans
portation from your city to San
Francisco. Your local Greyhound
Agent will make all arrange
ments! Each tour Is limited to
35 people, so make your reser
vations well in advance, please.
So long for now. This is Merry
Miles saying, "I'll be seeing you.
and you'll be seeing America-
best by Greyhound! '

find in old octopi Sometimes
only this kind; other times,
mixed with .the other kind. '
The McConnaugheys produced
evidence that as an octopus gets
older and older, the dicyemids
in its kidney get wind that their
world isn't going to last forever
and they'll have to start moving
on if dicyemids are to survive
through eternity.
They thought that the new hor
mones which an octopus releases
when it becomes mature sexually
might be the kind that changes
the dicyemid offspring from one
kind to tne other, ur it might
be something else. But the
strangest thing was that they had
observed baby dicyemids swim
ming about in sea water with
baby, octopi , within easy .reach.
The baby dicyemid , didn't
make for the octopi and it
seemed clear that they must live
inside some other animal in
order to develop enough to estab
lish themselves in the kidney of
a new octopus. This is. the $64
question the missing link of
the life cycle which the Mc
Connaugheys set forth in the
scientific monthly, a publication
of the American Association for
the Advancement of science.
Nothing To Do With Sex
Sex has nothing to do with
the kind of offspring that looks
like the parent. The production
of the second kind is sexual but,
the McConnaugheys said, it is
"highly complicated"! and "In
direct." When the dicyemid
reaches the time of life to pro
duce the second kind, the germ
cells in its central cell' either mi
grate to the -exterior cells or disintegrate.
"A few lucky ones escape this
fate," the McConnaugheys said
Each of these gives rise to a pe
culiar and very small individual
which lives its, entire life in the
central cell of its parent. Some
of this child's, cells become egg
cells?' some become sperm cells
which fertilize the egg cells,
Thus, the grandchild develops
and is born, not by its parent but
by its grandparent.
