The owners or the tenants working them had either to show full co-operation within a limited time or get out and let an efficient farmer take over. Sometimes the new proprietor called on the 4-H members to help him. According to L. K. Elmhirst, writing writ-ing In the magazine Free World, "the system worked well." It was a highly arbitrary method, but the British farmer, who is an Independent Independ-ent person with a century of stubborn stub-born tradition of non-interference from government, yielded to the bitter bit-ter necessity. Thirst Versus Sweet Tooth America's alcoholic thirst is about to suffer in order to satisfy America's Amer-ica's sweet tooth. And 50,000,000 bushels of grain-wheat grain-wheat and corn are going to find a market most of which will go up in smoke. Rapidly the whiskey distilleries dis-tilleries of America are being turned into distillers of industrial alcohol to be turned into explosives. Most of this war demand for alcohol is now being satisfied with sugar because be-cause the industrial alcohol plants are equipped for the distillation of sugar (molasses) and not grain. But 25 whiskey plants, already equipped for the distillation of grains, have stopped turning out a beverage and are working for the government The President recently 6igned an order to take over the plants which make high wines, which means they distill 40-proof alcohoL They will have to be equipped to make the 190 proof required for industrial use. Then all whiskey making stops. In fact the whiskey making business busi-ness already has a crimp in it and the gin business has virtually evaporated evap-orated or will as soon as the distillers dis-tillers use up such alcohol as they have in storage. There is still four years' supply of whiskey in storage. Soon no more will be distilled. The blended whiskey whis-key making and gin making end when the 140-proof neutral spirits are exhausted. One bushel of wheat or corn will make 2Vi gallons of alcohol, so you can see that it will take a lot of grain to make the 200,000,000 gal- I Ions a year of alcohol which the 1 government expects to be turning out for war by 1943. It takes time to convert the small er distilleries because a man ho is able to make very good whiskey cannot necessarily make alcohoL It takes installation of equipment in some plants not fully equipped. In other words there is a "change over" necessary just as there is when the automaker changes over his factory to make planes or tanks. That is the reason why in the meantime sugar has to be used, and why we have to ration it for other uses. Many people have written in say ing that sugar rationing was foolishness foolish-ness when there was plenty of grain. It is just as foolish as saying that because you have a nation of a hundred hun-dred million people you have all the soldiers you need. It takes time to change a civilian into a soldier. It takes time to convert a sugar distillery dis-tillery to a grain distillery. Peanut Oil Peanuts to you! What do they mean to you? Something Some-thing for the monkey in the zoo, the elephant in the circus? Or perhaps your daily bread, or merely your peanut butter. In Washington, peanuts have still another meaning today. Thanks to the war, we need more peanuts, not to feed to Japanese prisoners, but to squeeze. Peanut oU is needed to fill the demand for essential oils cut off when the enemy took over the Netherlands Indies. The department of agriculture has asked that 2ft times as many peanuts pea-nuts be planted to replace other oil-producers oil-producers stopped by the war (and to feed squirrels). As of March there were indications that we would have only a two-thirds plus crop. That isn't enough. And so we must have more soy beans which yield oils and many other things from vitamins to plastic ashtrays. - The soy crop has already increased almost as rapidly as the price of the beans. But since we won't get all the peanuts we need this year, the cry is still "More soys!" Ir i ii in-pipuMni i m. BRIEFS . in.. . Prtbute to the 5 Products by ea.fovided .

Learns Lathe T Washington, D. C. STANDARD OIL LOBBY Lobbying will always be practiced in Washington. Recently, however, it has reached new heights. , In the pre-New Deal days, lobbyists lobby-ists lobbied to get land grants, lumber lum-ber concessions, and Teapot Dome oil leases. Under the New Deal they lobbied for Public Works contracts, con-tracts, WPA grants, and steamship routes. , Today they lobby for war con-tracts. con-tracts. But perhaps the most avid, rapacious and lustful lobbying Is for priorities on the purchase of materials. In this connection, Standard Oil has just managed to get a remarkable remark-able priority rating for the shipment of $14,500,000 worth of steel to Venezuela. Vene-zuela. The story illustrates how a Job can be done if you have the lobbyist to do it In this case Standard Oil is ably represented by Washington attorney John N. Bohannon, who knows his way around, even to the White House. What Standard wanted was steel for its oil wells in Venezuela, and it had the plausible argument that it must keep up Venezuelan oil pro duction for the American and Brit ish navies. However, other American Ameri-can oil companies also wanted steel (or wells in Texas, Louisiana and California. Also they had the ad vantage of producing oil which does not require a long and hazardous tanker haul. However, they did not have the advantage of an A-l lobbyist. lobby-ist. ' For Mr. Bohannon went to Admiral Ad-miral Stark, then chief of naval operations, op-erations, and practically scared him to death about the danger of losing Venezuelan oil. Stark called Donald Nelson, boss of War Production, and put the pressure on him. Meanwhile Mean-while Bohannon and friends pressured pres-sured the state department, lend-lease lend-lease administration, board of economic eco-nomic warfare and finally the White House. If there was anyone Standard Oil forgot to high-pressure they were sick in bed. So Standard Oil got what it wanted, a priority rating of A-l-C, higher than that of domestic oil companies, and the materials have now been shipped. '.. LEWIS PAYROLL The Washington Merry-Go-Round wishes to correct an earlier statement state-ment that John L.
