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

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

searched all over the house for

Sanders' pocket when he came
home from work. The goldfish
apparently jumped out of the
bowl into the pants while they
were hanging over a chair near
the bowl.

Inventor of Alternating
Current Little Remembered
Niagara Falls, N. Y. (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

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
