Israel's chemical and mining industries, which this year
expect to earn and save $20,000,000 in hard currency, are
receiving significant impetus from State of Israel Development
Bond funds. Here, at the Machteshim Chemical Industries plant
in Beersheba. which receives Israel Bond allocations, chlorine
gas is placed in cylinders for shipments to farms, where itcls
used as an insecticide. In the foreground are huge 'bottles of
acid produced at the plant. By the end of 1958, Israel antici-
pates savings of $25,000,000 for her chemical and mineral
industries, as a result of stepped-up production in enterprises
which utilize Israel .Bond funds for development, expansion

and modernization.
