Affluence
One of the popular phrases that Professor Walker, professor of soil science at Lincoln, learned during his stay of six months at the Oregon State University was “the affluence of effluence.” He explained to a meeting of the Ashburton Farm Improvement Club this week that this arose through the general strong interest in the United States in pollution problems. “Anyone doing research on a pollution problem ca.n always get money for his work,” Professor Walker said. Asked how bad the pollution problem was, he said it was very bad. All water in the cities was chlorinated to such an extent as to affect the taste of tea.
