...while also killing bacteria and smells. The addition of phosphates, nitrates and potash to the mix produces a high-yield fertilizer, which is being sold commercially within a 200-mile radius of the city.

His widow, who lives in La Plata, Mo., has no contractual rights to the stories. Of the millions made by the Bantam reprints she will not get a penny...
