Middleboro. Mais. July 20— (UP)—The A men puttered about farmer John Brown's cellar labors tory today, determining whether his "master cell" really can make corn grow as high as an elephant's eye and cure animals of ‘most anything. Down here to take the mystery out of the “master cell" were scientific sleuths agents nf the U 8. agriculture department. . They bad company, agents from the federal department of pure foods and drugs Ditto for a rep resentatlve of the Interstate cornmerce commission and a lanky, legal-minded gent from the state fertilizer registration bureau at Amherst. Confronting the A men were the baleful glares of Brown's neigh bora farmers who vow the rolypoly former pharmacist has discovered the fountain of youth. The "master cell." they insisted, had doubled crop production. It had their critters busting with vim and vigor and sporting coats that shimered like polished glass. Brown, sun-bronzed and hlase. exuded confidence Snoop away, he said Pop the questions. De explained his "master cell" was a secret, super-potent orga nisrn He had wrapped the "cells in handy cement discs, he said. | Farmer* were supposed to soak the discs in water and then sprav it on crops and feed it to animals.

•| "Effective?" he chuckled "Ask 1 the men who've used 'em.” That’s just what the A-men in- * tended to do. i They had decided to visit farmer Brown after Dr. Joseph Sei- ’ berllch. head of the University of New Hampshire's experimental station at Durham. N H. said he i had been studying the "master ■ cell" for a month and had found nothing unusual. "We are investigating with an open mind and presuming he may have discovered something.” Dr. Seiberllch said. "If he has. though, we haven't any evidence of It." "We considered it somewhat of a joke when it started." said Dr. Fred Sievers, head of the Amherst station "But. with farmers shovelling out their money and attributing a mirac lea-minute to the 'master cell' we figured we better get busy." Dr. John W Kuzmeskl. the Amherst station's chief chemist, was principally Interested In a report the "cell" produced seeds with "built-in" fertilizer. If thia were so. he said, he wanted to know why Brown hadn't registered the Invention as required by state law. All in all, it looked like a hot day for farmer Brown But he had a whole well of drinking water handy—all charged to beat the band with "master cells."
