According to the Russian press, anew fertilizer, "nitragin," hen been
developed. It contains root bacteria, which assist the plants in assimilat-
ing nitrogen from the air. About 1.5 liters of nitragin per hectare will at
least double the crop yield. A 1.5-million-hectare area has recently been
irrtilized with this preparation.
Besides fertilizers containing potassium, nitrogen, calcium, and phos-
phorus, combinations of other elements are being added more and more fre-
quently in the case of certain types oY soil and certain plants. For exam-
ple, fePtilizera containing boron and manganese are~used for suger'beeta, or
copper preparations for peat soil. The importance of using small quantities
oY such substances has been rightly appreciated in the USSR. In different
areas, ezperimen~e are being carried out with combinations of molybdenum,
cobalt, iodine, manganese, copper, zinc, etc., to increase the crop yield by
small supplements.
According to plea,5.1 million tone of nitrogenous, potassic, and phos-
phorous fertilizers are to be put out in 1950, including approximately 1.3
million tone of nitrogenous fertilizer (about 270,000 tons of ft); 1.1 million
tone of potassium salts (about 700,000 tons of K20); sad 2.7 million tons of
phosphorous fertilizer. It is possible that the actual production is all
three groups will be still higher.
For a long time, the USSR has been able to export potassium salts, and
recently nitrogen compounds have also been supplied to bther~?couatx`ies.
Australia may get her import requirements of ammonium sulfate from the U38R
in the future.

DEVELOPS GLASS BRICK, COLORID PLATE GLASS -- Moscow, Vechernyeya Moskva,
30 Jan 51
New light-weight, durable, hollow glass blocks, which can be used succes~-
fully in various types of construction work, and high-quality colored plate
glees for automobiles, the production of which has now been mechanized in
Soviet plants, are examples of the numerous items developed in the laboratories
of the All-Union Scientific Research Institute for Glass, which has contributed
much toward the progress of the Soviet glass industry.
All the types of glass-forming machines used in the Soviet Union, and
most of the forms of glass known to our native technique, have been developed
with the assistance of the institute. New, highly effective materials such
as fiberglass, fosmglass, stalinite, and others, have been created there.
Many workers at the institute have won Stalin prizes. In certain branches
of glass technology, Yor example, in the study of glass-forming processes,
the institute holds a leading place in the world.
Representatives of industrial enterprises and scientific institutions
in Moscow and many ether cities are participating is the scientific meeting
celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the glass institute; which opened
today. It will last for 3 days.
SPEIDS UP PRODUCTION OF MIF.ROR GLASS -- Baku, Bakinskiy Rabochiy, 6 Jan 51
The Lvov Glass Plant has developed a new method of speeding up produc-
tion of high-quality mirror glees. The method was suggested by the chief of
the Main Administration of Technical Glass of the Ministry of Construction
Materials Industry. As a result, the productivity of machines has been in-
creased and the quality of output greatly improved.
Under the old method, the machines had to be stopped after every 100
hours of operation, to be prepared for the next working period. This delay
hen been eliminated. Earlier, glass was drawn off by a method which lowered,
its quality. This situation too has been corrected. Previously, one machine,
could draw only an 18-20 meter length of.5-millimeter glass strip per hour,
whereas it now draws 38-40 meters per hour. This glass, as it comes Yrom the
machine, is fully suitable for the production of mirror glass.
The plant has already put out about 100,000 square meters of first-grade
glass by the ner method.
Without substantial capital expenditures, plants throughout tti6 country
wil]. be able to increase their output more than 30 percent, as a result of
this innovation. The method eliminates two labor-consuming and costly opera-
tions, grinding and polishing. The production cost of one square meter of
mirror glass is almost 20 times less than under'Yormer methods.
A glass plant has gone into operation in Chirchik, Tashkent Oblast. It
hsa the latest equipment, and is developing a type of window glass made from
local raw materials.
At the Yarvakandi Yarvakanditekhased Glass and Woodworking Combine, a new
method of baking glass has been suggested, whereby the temperature and the bak-
iag period wire changed. The n~:w method has improved quality, and cut down
defects and breakage during the processing.

New methods of laying the patterns which also have been worked out have
revolutionized the whole cutting process. Y.t is natr possible to get twice
as much first-grade technical and window glass Prom one sheet, and breakage
of glass in the process of laying the patterns has been completely eliminated.
The chief engineer oP the combine and the foreman of the ceramics shop
have developed a new machine for the preparation oP special ceramic clay
used 1n molding. This work is now mechanized, treeing 15 men for other opera-
tions.
All of these innovations will be a source of great savings to the state.
Already, a new shop for the production oY ornamental glass has been built at
the combine with the funds saved through innovations.
Associates at the laboratory workshop for luminescent, decorative paint-
ing have developed a palette of the basic, moat widely used luminescent paints.
They become luminous under the action of ultraviolet rays, but are not visible
in ordinary light.
The new luminescent paint is already being used in layouts for advertis-
ing, and for theatrical decorations and actors' costumes.
ARMENIAN TIRE, M[TI.I,I'1'E PLANTS COMPLEFE PLANS -- Tallin, Sovetskaya Estoniye,
16 Jan 51
The Yerevan Tire Plant completed its 1950 and Five-Year Plans at the
end of November 1950. The plant started series production of new-type tires
for ZIS-150 trucks in 1950, although this task had been as"signed Yor 1951.
The Yerevan N[ullite Plant completed its Five-Year Plan in October 1950,
and by the end of 1950 had exceeded it by 48 percent.
