Pillsbury, also a naturalist, inven- tor, explorer, author and lecturer, sald soil-less tank experiments had indicated a tenfold increase in vege- table production. “Although the idea is not new, re- cent experiments have led scientists to believe that vegetables can be grown commercially in shallow tanks, partly: filled with water, in which all the necessary soil require- ments have been mixed,” Pillsbury sald. “In one instance shallow-tank- grown potatoes produced between two and three thousand bushels to the acre compared with a United States average of 104 bushels.” Scientist Has New Theory Believes Rust Will Some Day End All Life On Earth A leading man of science says the earth may one day rust to death, ending all life on the planet.
