Meet to Consider Problem of Future National Resource
Danger of Nation Becoming Over Populated Worries Plant Research Scientists
Yonkers, N. J., Sept. 24—When the population of the United States reaches 200,000,000, an some authorities claim it will in less than one hundred years, the problem of obsession with severe. Far-sighted scientists are endeavoring to anticipate this, and to answer the question before it becomes acute. The Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research, of the city, formally opened today (Wednesday) that it is an embodiment of this effort.
Realization of the seriousness of the tastic food problem, and appreciation of the steps necessary for its solution, underlie the establishment of the Boyce Thompson Institute. It is the materialisation of a dream of bread production and it may have come the credit of a technology yet unknown.
Many Advances Made
During the last century great research foundations were established for inquiry into the basic facts of and other non-biological sciences, and in them were bred astonishing advances in material civilization of the past half-century. They made the atmosphere, colored the light in which Col. William Boyce Thompson, mining engineer, the founder of the Institute, was reared. His nickname, 'Pete', identifies the trend of the past few decades which have changed engineering from a largely empire art to an exact science, founded on things known and not guessed at.
It was not remarkable then that when Calonel Thompson looked at the looming problem of food for the future he should think in terms of technology could later be established. The remarkable development of the past few decades in agriculture, forestry, and other applied branches of botanical science has been founded surprisingly little exactly known fact.
To Study Plant Problems
The attack on plant problems in the Bovey Thompson Institute will be fundamentally the same as that on the problems of inorganic matter in the earlier researches. Chemists and physicists get at the basic facts about plants by studying their behavior under exactly controlled conditions. Botanists and physiologists will get at the basic facts about plants by controlling their environmental conditions. The elaborate machinery for controlling the circumstances of the lives of plants at the Institute revives the analytical tool the botanist and the ingenuity of the engineer.
The Boyce Thompson Institute itself is the result of an interaction of several minds. The chief advisers to Colonel Thompson are Prof. John M. Coulter, head of the botany department at the University of Chicago, Prof. L. R. Jones, head of the department of plant pathology at the University of Wisconsin, and Dr. Raymond F. Bacon, former director of the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research. The active head of the Boyce Thompson Institute and director of research is Dr. William Crocker, formerly in charge of plant physiology at the University of Chicago.

America to Enter Schneider Trophy Seaplane Contest
Naval Planes Tune for Race With Air Navigators From England and Italy
Phillipa Hollis, Sept. 24 —America hopes to win the international competition seamplate contest at Bali; more on Oct. 24 and 25 for the famous Schneider triptych as the result of a successful project over the following river course here.
(United Press)
Levanton G. T, Caddedy, flying a CB-3 with a wing spread only 22 inch six inches, established a record over the course by piloting his machine 1974 miles an hour during a flight.
Lieutenant R. A. Goffle drove his plane in a trial flight 190 miles an hour. Certain alterations will be made on his machine to materially increase its speed and it is expected to carry 150 miles an hour in the race.
With Italy having won the trophy twice, England once and America once, the cup goes for good to the country winning three times in five years. Thus the United States and England will do their utmost to prevent Italy winning this year and taking the trophy.
America is more than anxious to win this year for it is generally felt the winner at Baltimore will capture the 1925 cwetakes.
The United States, represented by the Navy, Italy and England are the only countries entered this year. France will enter the 1925 competition, which is expected to make great preparations for the next contest.
Three Navy planes will be entered by the United States at Baltimore. These machines will be at Bay Shore, Md., by Oct. 4 for final guidance.
Lieutenant F. W. Weade is in charge of the American preparations for the contest. He hopes to have a Curtis and a Wright seplane grouped to do 220 miles an hour before the race start.
Lieutenant David Rittenhouse, who plotted the successful American phase last year at the late of Weight, will pilot a Curtis sapphire while Lieutenant A. W. Gordon, another veteran racer, will drive a Weight, Lieutenants Otte and Cuddhey will pilot Curtis muchness.
While four planes will be used in the tests only three will be used in the actual races.
