Most smaller communities (excepting mining and specialized manufacturing towns) which are closely related to their agricultural areas, find that most of the men in the drafted age group fall in the category of "essential" employment when they work in such fields as the following: Agricultural services: Commercial poultry hatcheries, seed processing, animal breeding, crop disease protection services, initial processing services of compressing, threshing, cleaning, shelling, curing and the like, irrigation services, farm repair and maintenance, services, farm product assembly services, custom grist milling and ice harvesting.

No "critical" employment is listed under the WMC guide for agricultural services. The production of packaging materials for shipping and pre-serving essential products is also listed as an essential class of employment. In the category of "critical" employment, as it may affect the draft status of citizens of non-industrial smaller towns, is listed such work as the repair of automobiles, busses, trucks, tractors and farm equipment. However, it 13 intended that in the category of repair services consideration be given only to individuals qualified to render all-round repair services on the types of equipment included in the essential list.

It has been several weeks now since I received a of the Bonds; that his compensation ast beds of Natural Nitrate in Chile's desert region are natural deposits enough to last hundreds of years of one of the oldest and best known fertilizer materials. Mystery of their ori-ginrlong has challenged science.

Many theories have developed. Some say prehistoric plants were "nitrified' by bacteria in the soiL That's what Pasteur's work suggested. Others say they are decayed vegetation. There is a belief the nitrate beds are droppings of billions of birds. Another, that electricity formed them through centuries of violent storms.

Some think the beds are rotted rocks; some think they are a crust pushed up from underneath. Perhaps the right theory com bines parts of all of them. Who knows? But there is one point on which all agree Chilean Nitrate of Soda was created by tremendous natural processes. It is com-pletely natural the only natural nitrate in tho world. Because of its natural origin, Chilean Nitrate of Soda contains, in addition to nitrogen and sodium, small amounts of boron, iodine, manganese, copper.
