Released by Western Newspaper Union. k EUROPE: Aid Russ If you are having a hard time buying enough feeding oils, alfalfa meal and yellow corn for your poultry laying flock, Dr. M, W. Taylor, associate biochemist in nutrition at Rutgers university, suggests you try sprouted grains to supply that essential vitamin A. Through his research Dr. Taylor has found that sprouted wheat or oats grown in flat trays for about two weeks, with exposure to sunlight to promote greenness, is a fairly good source of carotene or provitamin A. At '.least, it is a good source to use when natural grass range or. silage is not available, he says. A potency of 5,000 U.S.P. units per pound of fresh seedlings may easily be obtained and, as many poultry-me- n already know, this material is readily consumed by hens. Fed at the rate of 5 pounds per 100 hens per day, the seedlings will furnish d the recommended about amount of vitamin A which is enough to prevent a serious deficiency. Spread Grain in Trays. For poultrymen who have never sprouted grains before, Dr. Taylor outlines the procedure: Oats or wheat are your best choice, since' they sprout easily, grow fairly quick arid are usually available.' Soak them overnight to promote rapid sprouting. Next, inch spread them out in layers in flat trays with two or three sheets of newspapers in the bottom so the trays hold moisture around the roots. The thickness is important. If too thick, the seedlings will not develop sufficient green color. If too thin, the roots will be exposed to too much air and light. Keep the tray moist, by sprinkling once or twice daily with water containing chloride of lime at the rate of a heaping teaspoonful to a pail (three gallons) of water. The chloride of lime will keep down mold growth. For the first two or three days, or until sprouting is definitely noticed, keep the tray in subdued light. After this, place it near a sunny window so it will receive as much light as possible. The stronger the light the higher the vitamin A content. Slow growth in a cool room is better than rapid growth at high temperatures. The one drawback of sprouted grains is the space required to grow them. However, Dr. Taylor estimates that a total of 10 square feet of sprouting area, divided in three parts and used in rotation, will produce from 1 to 2 pounds of seedlings daily, or enough for 20 to 50 hens. With Allied troops in Great Britain poised for the jump into western Europe, U. S. bombers took to the air to blast the Balkans in conjunction with the Russian armies advance into Rumania. In the English Isles, an electrical tenseness was reported as Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhowers high command was said to have set the zero hour, and Allied planes continued to roar over the channel to blast Nazi defenses and industries in France and Germany. As the Russians edged toward the vital Rumanian oil fields of Ploesti, U. S. bombers thundered over the city from the south to blast railway tank cars filled for the long haul to western Europe. U. S. bombers also dropped explosives on aircraft factories and railroad yards of the Hungarian capital of Budapest. In Italy, heavy artillery bombardments punctuated bitter ground sparring below Rome at Anzio and one-thir- one-four- SOUTH AMERICA: i Money to Burn , Cassino.

Flashy leaflets have told the Germans that their surrender during the last war left most of their industries intact, while continued resistance in this war will only result in the complete demolition of their factories. Other leaflets have condemned Nazi officials for failing to provide for evacuation of the civilian population from bombed areas. Small newspapers dropped in France have informed the people of guerrilla activity, and of. the Allied objectives in bombing Nazi targets in the country, while similar publications dumped over Holland have pointed up Americas war effort and the heavy assaults on Berlin. th A collection of about 4,000 estab- lished varieties and strains of barleys from all over the world is maintained by the U. S. department of agriculture to facilitate the breeding of better barleys for different parts of the country. The only larger collection is reported in Russia. Typical of the work of government cereal specialists and barley breeders is the experiment now going on to develop new varieties of barley resistant to the green bug or aphid, which in 1942 caused a loss of more than $3,000,000 in Texas and Okla-- homa barley fields. fall. v The most beautiful rose is one hardly more than a bud wherein the pangs and ecstasies are working for larger and finer growth.

Seeking to relieve the tight- feed situation, the War Food administration has arranged for the importation of 20,000,000 bushels of Canadian oats by May 15 via rail and the Great Lakes. Under the plan, U. S. railroads would immediately send 75 cars daily into the Canadian interior for the grain, with 25 more to be sent later, if domestic needs for the cars are not pressing. The rails would carry the oats to Duluth, whence they would be routed to Chicago and Toledo by boat. From 15 to 20 days generally would be requird for the round trip, officials estimated. Because competitive bidding between the two cities would bring Canadian grain above the U. S. price ceiling, the Commodity Credit corporation might purchase the oats directly from Canada for resale at lower prices in the U.

Because South American countries have been sending the U. S. and other nations more goods than they have been able to buy back, the U. S. department of commerce reported they have built up a cash balance of over 2 billion dollars, which will be available for foreign trade when warring powers return to civilian production. In 1943, the department reported, the U. S. bought $1,300,000,000 worth of goods in South America, while selling only approximately $800,000,-00thus leaving the Latin countries with a cash balance of nearly $500,- -. 000,000. . year. flower is one A SATISFIED whose petals are about to Americas huge accumula- 0, - "That remind me, Mae, we ought to order our Insecticide early this South Gems of Thought 15 o ITALY: Political Unanimity Liberated Italys six parties were prepared to participate in a new government when King Victor Emmanuel abided by his reported decision of retiring as actual ruler and designating his son, Prince Humbert, as his lieutenant to repre' sent his interests. In settling this knotty problem of at least temporarily preserving the institution of the monarchy while still satisfying the demands of the that the king get out, the kings advisors fell back on an old precedent in Italian history. Although the Communists who are reportedly vying for control of the defense and police ministries in any new Italian government, recently declared their intention of cooperating with the king, other elements held fast to their contention that his removal was requisite to the establishment of a strong democratic administration in the state.
