M. Leighton, chief of the state Geological Survey Division at Urbana. * This revival expected to be of great value in the current national defense program, is the outgrowth of extensive field investigations carried on by survey scientists during the past several years. Thousands of samples from more than 1500 borings were studied, and several actual and potential ore areas were outlined. The information thus obtained has attracted mining companies back to the area. Coatings to help protect your silo from the destruction of silage acids are bing tested at the Illinois College of Agriculture. WL C. NOTBS Talking it Over c£*i --Inore we stirt calendar.
