Proper Weeding, Thinning Suggested Madison, Wis. U.PJ A vege table crops specialist at the Uni versity of Wisconsin says good weed control and proper plant thinning are largely a matter of timing. John Schoenemann said weeds are easiest to control just when they sprout and before seedlings really get going. He suggests drying out the top inch of soil by careful stirring once a week and as soon after each rain as the soil can be safely worked. He said the garden can be mulched with straw, hay or lawn clippings to control weeds, but the mulch must be complete ly free of weed seeds. The mulch should cover all the soil and should be put close to the plants. Schoenemann also suggested planting more seeds than needed and thinning later to get a more even stand of plants. He warn ed that thinning should be done at recommended distances fo each diuerent piam 10 assure that remaining plants get all the light, nourishment and water they need. Concenfrafed Milk Claimed Good Keeper Madison. Wis. (U.R) Univer sity of Wisconsin researchers have developed a new fresh con centrated milk which they say has excellent keeping qualities in regular household refrigera tors. H. E. Calbert and A. M. Swan son said consumer tests showed that consumers liked the new product, which is not for sale yet in most stores. A can of the concentrate mixed with two cans of water makes a quart of milk. Mixed with one can of W9ter, the product is good as a coffee, cereal qr fruit cream. The two men said the fresh concentrate could be shipped to distant areas at a lower cost than regular milk and might cut home delivery costs, an import ant item in milk marketing ex penses.

High Altitude Chute Jump Tests Conducted El Centro, Calif (U.R) High altitude parachute jump tests to determine physical effects on chutists are in progress at the Defense Department's joint par achute testing grounds. fCmdr. N. F. Waters, com manding officer of the naval parachute unit, said the tests, setting bailouts at 32.000 feet with 100-second free falls, are to study a jumper's tendency to spin dangerously at high alti tudes during the free fall. Centrifugal force created from an uncontrolled spin could be fatal to jumpers if it is strong enough to cause rupture of blood vessels. Waters said. These tests are being conduct ed by the Navy along with the 6511th Test Group of the U.S. Air Force. GOLD FISH STORY Nashville, Tenn. OJ.P.) If F. L.

(U.R) July was the 100th anniversary of the birth of Nikola Tesla. a little-remembered Yugoslav im migrant whose invention of the polyphase alternating current motor and system led to our modern electrical systems. Tesla's invention first was used on a practical basis in 1896 when electric power created by Niagara Falls was sent surging through transmission lines to Buffalo'22 miles away. It marked the harnessing of the falls and the beginning of the age of elec tric power. Despite the revolutionary im pact of this invention Tesla is scarcely remembered today, only 13 years after his'death. He was a strange and solitary man, pre ferring to live and work alone. So great was his desire for sci entific knowledge that he vowed never to marry- He felt love would impede his work for sci ence. Shortly after his arrival in America Tesla went to work in the laboratories of Thomas Edi son in New York. He soon dem onstrated his brilliance and re ceived the recognition of Edi son. But the two were worlds apart. Tesla favored alternating current, Edison direct current, j Tesla .thought his system,; though more complex, was bet- j, ter because electricity could be 1 transmitted over long distances, j News About Servicemen HOME ON LEAVE Lloyd Fogelquist, son of Mr. and Mrs. F.

MEDFORD (OREGON) With the Edison direct current system, power could be sent barely a mile from the power house. The eventual adoption of the Tesla AC system proved its superiority. But in the 1890's a battle raged over which system was best. . The builders of the Adams sta tion at Niagara Falls soon recog nized the value of being able to transmit and sell power to Buf falo and other cities, and they accepted the Tesla plan. The same generators that began run ning in November, 1896. turn out electric power ioday in the Niag ara Mohawk Power System. The station is a living memorial to early electrical engineering. Tesla invented many more things common to our world to day and demonstrated by his predictions his great foresight. He gave us the principles upon which radio and television exist and was several years ahead of Marconi with the wireless trans mitter and receiver. He designed and developed a radio-controlled boat before the turn of the century and created various forms of gaseous tube lighting. He predicted that one Treats to your taste!
