Petroleum scientists, equipped
with a diving chamber and using
radar to plot positions, soon will
launch a search for oil in the rock|
and sand beneath the surface
2,000 square miles of water in
northwest Bahamas.
The exploration will be conducted
by Standard Oil Company (Baha
mas) Limited, a subsidiary
Standard Oil Company (New
sey), in the shallow waters north
of Grand Bahama Island. East
West Palm Beach, F lorida, and
separated from the mainland
the relatively deep water of
Florida straits, the site is in
section of the Atlantic Ocean where
the water in most places is less
than 20 feet deep.
Engineers will sink the diving
chamber at various points in the
area to map the ocean floor. The
diving chamber will house an opera
lor and a gravity meter, an in
strument that measures the pull
gravity, furnishes indications of the
type of rocks below the ocean bed,
and indirectly provides information
as to the presence of oil. If geo-1
physical reports are favorable, over-1
water rigs will be erected later
fer drilling tests
On the surface, the use of radar
will permit geophysicists to plot
the site of all tests with improved
accuracy. Radar targets 50 feet
high wiil be set up at strategic
points in the exploration
These targets, picked up on the
radar screen aboard the equipment
boat, will enable the navigator
determine his position,

are using a vessel formerly opera

the Stanba, is one of the first era
ever to be equipped with radar in
the search for oil. It is equippec
with a deep freeze unit that insures
a wide variety of foods and extra
fresh water, and it will receive sup

The Stanba recently arrived at
Nassau with its cargo of mstru

During the tests, the ship's party
of 20 men will remain on the water
for six weeks, and then return to

EGG YOLK SHOULD BE
OF LIGHT INTENSITY
Standards for grading eggs place!of

f the voik.
yolk color and firmm
determine the visibility
and separation of these two factors
by candling is difficult. It. therefore.
becomes desirable to produce eggs
with yolk color of light to medium
intensity.
Green feed, either fresh or dried,
and yellow corn are the major feeds
providing yolk color. About 50 to
60 per cent of yellow corn in the
ration, from 5 to 10 per cent of al
falfa in the mash, or 5 pounds of
green feed per 100 birds daily pro
vide adequate vitamin A for good
health in a poultry flock.
The of study
of egg yolk color as affected by cer
tain ingredients of common poultry
feeds conducted at the Kansas State
College is of interest.
1. —The color of the yolk may
deepen as much as 24 per cent in
one day. The greatest advance oc
curs during the first six days of
feeding after which the advance is
at a much slower rate.
2. —A well-balanced mash con
taining not over eight per cent al
falfa and 24 per cent yellow corn
gives a uniformly light golden yolk
when the birds are confined and
equal parts of white corn and wheat
were used as the scratch grain,
3. —Feeding alfalfa hay either in
the litter or in a wall hopper in
creases yolk color (as much as 4.54
units) and gives a wide variation
in the eggs from the same flock,
4. —Limited time (4:00 p. m. un

creased yolk color 2.3 units while
the same flock allowed wheat range

THE NATION
The National» Board of Fire Un
derwriters reports an alarming in
crease in fire losses. During June,
for example, the nation's loss total
led more than $44.000,000, an in
crease of 29 per cent over June,
1945. And the total for the first
six months of this year reached
the record-breaking figures of $297,
306,000.
aggregate fire loss for any single
full year from 1933 throuh 1940. (
Another indication of the trend
is that, normally, fire losses show
substantial decline during the sum-:
mer months. This June the season-:
al decline was extremely small, the
loss being only 4 per cent under ;
that of May.
The responsibility for controlling
fires rests upon everyone who owns |
or rents property, everyone who
operates and works in a business, i
For fire prevention, so far as the.
average individual is - concerned, j
consists of easy, simple things. The
renewal of a worn electrical cord j
may prevent a disaster that would ;
destroy a home. . Proper storage of |
inflammable mateials may pre-1
vent a conflagation that would des
troy a factory. A simple repair to
a heating plant may prevent a blaze
that would destroy lives.
The figures -the National Board
has issued should be of concern to
us all. To put them in words, they
mean that we are losing the war
against fire. They mean that val
uable materials, many of them vir
tually irreplaceable at this time, are
being needlessly destroyed. They |
mean ruin and death and desolation. !
All our efforts are needed to re
verse this ominous trend.

i TOO MUCH SENSE
i Those who forecast that the dem
lise of the OPA at the end of June
would result in immediate and un
i controlled inflation showed insuf
ficient faith in the wisdom of the
American people—and in the ef
ficiency of the production and dis
jtribution machines which serve:
them.
Prices, of course, rose in many
instances. This was due in a num
ber of cases to the elimination of
government subsidies—the consumer
simply started to pay all the costs
out of his pocket at the time of
purchase, instead of the govern
ment paying part of his living
In other cases, past

OPA prices had been toolow. and
increases were justified and ine\i

: resistance.
One reason for that is consumer
The average American
isn't a sucker. If prices for cer
tain commodities go too high, he
simply goes on without them orj
buys substitutes.
Another reason is
a slow but
[definite increase in supply in many
i basic lines. As more goods enter
the free market, the opportunities
for the black marketeer and chisler
diminish. They prosper only in an
economic of scarcity.
