The do!!ar invested in agricul-
ture research is a long-term in-
vestment that will yield many
times its original value.
The development of new tech-
niques and methods, and of new
fertilizers and other chemical
treatments "has shown the value
of research time and time again",
according to John C. White. Com-
missioner of the Texas Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
The Commissioner referred to an
article by H. O. Kinkel. Associate
Director of tin Texas Agricultural
Experiment Station, m "Texas

iions' in Livestock improvements.
A study by the University of
Chicago on ugricutturai research
investments showed the return to
the farmer for every research dol-
llar was around 1.300 percent.
"The vaiue of research has been
cieariy shown " White said, "and
im Department of Agriculture wi])
t ntinu * to bolste!' its efforts in
seeking improvements through re-
search."
Tile department wiil soon place
in tin field a mobile test lab as
part of this continuous push to-
ward- better agriculture. The lab
will be able to travel about the
state making test on the spot.
White said similar labs had proved
extremely successful in other
states.
"No investment," White said,
"will profit the farmer or the con-
sumer more than that in research—
an investment that shows quick
returns and a high rate of inter-
est."

The Nt'ir Antiques
Mahonuny was a rare wood in
18th Century England and as
new in furniture construction
then as stainless steel is today.
Bccau - it was imported from
South Amcrica by saili* " vessels
' was expensive and although it
was admired by all, only the
< on t t and the gentry could aflord
Skilled craftsmen of the day
! it pieces of furniture that arc
still t-agerly sought and bring
high prices at auctions and from
antique dealers.
At the same time, across the
Channel, French craftsmen pro-
duced furniture that gradually
established a specifically "French
style" that also won acceptance
all over Europe.
. however, at the midway
poi; of the ^Oth Century, there
is rapidly emerging a modern
type of furniture that is to chal-
lenge the long held supremacy of
both English and French 18th
Century styles.
Stainless steel furniture being
created today epitomixes the fan-
tastic era in which we live.
In fact, the adaptability !'
fstainlcss steel to a number of
home uses—from pots and pans
to beautiful table ilatwear—has
inevitably captured the fancy of
our most imaginative furniture
designers.
Besides the obvious points of
easy maintenance and workabil-
ity, It is prt-haps the glistening,
the responsive surface texture
of stainless steel that intrigues
our designers to employ it for
newly conccivcd structural mem-
bers of tables, chairs, desks and
trim. Stainless steel, by its very
nature, introduces a decorative
element into interior decoration
that completely satisfies and
pleases the modern taste.
If anything, stainless steel
brings to life, and certainly up-
dates, even the' most self-con-
scious "period room".
And when used alone, in a com-
pletely modern setting, stainl< s
steel — even if combined with
many rich textures, fabrics,
paintings, accessories — speaks
out for mid-20th Century tech-
nology in a warm and very posi-
tive manner.
