aged 3.6 for the term.

rmni Strangely enough, most
Americans who know of it think of
It mainly as a place where the
navy testa rockets.
Capt. Jamea B. Sykes. command
ing officer of the research center,
doesn't believe this Uj good psy
chology. As a result, in an exclu
sive interview, he disclosed for the
first time the full scheme of oper
ations at Invokern and their rela
tion to the nation's vital weapon
development program.
"During the war a high classi
fication of secrecy was necessary."
says Captain yites. "But the war
is over. The public is entitled to
know as much as we can tell them
about Invokern without violating
the secrecy necessarily shrouding
some of our projects."
Captain Sykes didnt discuss It,
but there is also a matter of fu
ture appropriations. The installa
tion already has cost more than
sioo.000.000. and has a payroll of
more that $1,000,000 a month.
About the size of the slate of
Rhode Island, the station covers
more than 1000 square miles and
extends into three California coun
ties Invo, Kern and San Bernar
dino. Nearly 12.000 persons naval
and civil workers and their fami
lies live on the base. Several
thousand others have to live in
trailer areas outside the station be

age. A good-sized city has sprung
up among the cactus and sage
brush 15 miles off. the highway.
since 1M3.
Rocket research is only a part
of the station's work. Here also are
developed:
1. New and secret nig n-power
explosives for warheads.
2. Radio electronic systems for
controlling the projection from
aircraft of rockets, bombs, gun
projectiles and torpedoes. This Is
the key to aerial warfare of the
future. Exactly what is bring
done cannot be fully told, but
several hundred scientists, in
eluding some of the world's best,
either live on the base or work
in close association.
J. Guided missiles. - Captain
Sraes says "We are developing
weapons potentially far superior
to the German V-2 bomb. Even
tually our new ram-jet should
have better control and carry
a heavier payload."
The ram-jet's advantage Is in its
ability to ram air through Its nose
under compression, tnus eliminat
ing the necessity of carrying oxy
gen inside the weapon, as in the
V-J.
The principle of the V-2 is as
stupid." says Captain Sykes. "as
the idea of a transcontinental bus
loading up at the start with all the
fuel necessary for the entire trip."
In addition there is some small
scale nuclear physics research,
which navy (officials say is not
aimed at producing an atom bomb.
In this connection, the navy dis
closed the existence of a hitherto
secret project, a $7300,000 physics
laboratory. The new lab, started in
1945, will go into operation this
fall in the fields of physics, chem
istry, optics, electronics, metallur
gy, ballistics, heat-treating and
others.

Seed Barley
Gets Notice
Attention was focused on seed
barley this year by certain buyers of
brewing barley and a brisk demand
for certified seed existed this spring.
A number of Klamath farmers
have applied for certification of
Hannchen barley acreage for the
first time in several years to meet
this demand of buyers.
Since no certified seed was avail
able an attempt to locate the best
uncertified seed lots was made.
Simples of barley were sent to the
farm crops department at Oregon
State college. Examination of sam
ples led to classification as to ap
parent suitability of the lot for pro
duction of certified seed tills year.
Since barley is almost entirely self
fertile because pollination occurs
while the heads are still in the boot
no crossing between varieties occurs.
Requirements for certified barley
include regulations in regard to per
centage mixtures of other varieties
of barley and other grains as well
as maximumj tolerance for wild oats
and smut. ' .
The matter of mixtures of other
barley varieties and other grains is
largely a mechanical proposition.
Other grains and barleys can be
come mixed with a lot in bulk stor
age or in sacks previously used for
other grain. Volunteer grain from
