Railroad President Becomes Colonel Mediterranean Chief And a determined enemy is welding this conquered region into a war machine that, given time, will dwarf the military .might the ether end of the Axis has at its com- mand. The areas which Japan either captured or just walked into and took over, amount to some 3,100,000 square miles and contain fabulous quantities of war materials. AH of it was taken in the first few months of the war, and since that time we have been able to recapture not more than square miles. Germany does have one important advantage over her Pacific ally: She is looting a continent which already was industrial; Japan's conquests, for the most part, were in an area and predominantly agricultural primitive. Japan must fight a war steadily growing more serious for her, and at the same time build the war plants to handle the plenty that is there for the taking. She is somewhat like the burglar trying to tote off more than he can carry. Plenty of Oil. As to resources, let's take oil first, as one of Japan's most necessary raw materials. Before the war, Japan stored up millions of gallons of the oil she bought from us and from the Netherlands East Indies. Then she struck, and you may be sure she much ( .

The Indies produce less than one twenty-fiftof the oil flowing from American wells, about 2,500,000,000 gallons each year. But Burma has oil wells, too, and I am told by sources I know are reliable that the Japanese program for this year is to store 42,000,000 gallons of oil, just put it away for the future. Even so, they are at work at home, taking 3,500,000 barrels of oil each year from the Manchukuo shale fields, extracting oil from coal, experimenting with oil from sardines fof glycerine, and with oil from soya e beans, boiling stumps for another type of oil, and most important of all building synthetic oil h lii ! 5ate Air plants. The synthetic plants, which are scattered throughout the empire, are the big question mark in Japan's oil production. Some of them use German invented 1 one-thir- one-fift- h w1 ''. Certain breeds have become popular because they have returned a profit and have had the approval of buyers. For example, the New Zealand Red or New Zealand White and the Flemish Giants are very popular for supplying the market demand for highrquality meat. Among the fur rabbits the Chinchilla, the American White, the New Zealand White, the WTiite Flemish Giant, the Havana, the Lilac, the Castor Rex and its crosses, and certain blue and silver breeds have been very popular for fur and have considerable meat value. All these breeds are produced in quantity so that stock is easily purchased and the market demand is kept up by a regular supply. Some of the newer breeds might be more popular if they could be secured in larger quantities and at smaller expense. The introduction of a breed is not always a paying undertaking. Selection of Individuals. Some general characteristics which should affect the choice of breeding rabbits, regardless of the breed or variety are: 1. Ability to maintain health and vigor under commercial conditions; not unduly susceptible to disease. 2. Meat white, firm, and delicately flavored, in the case of meat rabbits. 3. Dressing percentage high, with a large percentage of the best meat cuts (saddle) body compact, meaty, with fine bone for the meat trade. 4.

Breeds that are slow to develop or that do not fill out well when young are better suited for markets using large meat rabbits weighing five pounds or more. Oni a few breeders cater to a fur nfarket and sell the meat from rabbits producing the fur for whatever it will bring. The meat from a fur rabbit will usually weigh four or five pounds or more; it is important to find a market that is willing to take dressed rabbits of this size. Such meat is usually low in price, five to nine cents a pound live weight being a fair range in list price. The production of breeding st?k calls for a wise choice from the many breeds now available. The newer breeds usually sell for more than the old established breeds, and the beginner should anticipate a drop in prices for some of the presd ent new breeds. Nearly always the final choice will rest on the value of the animals for meat and fur. A new breed may possess excellent fur qualities and yet have no value on the fur market because the pelts are not available in sufficient numbers for matching. Breeds for the Beginner. Most rabbit raisers find it best to start with but one breed. The characteristics and requirements of one breed are far easier to learn than those of several. As skill is acquired and markets are developed, the producer may then find it profitable to cater to several kinds of dehigh-price- 20,000 didn't start out empty-handekyo's radio boasts that Every farmer who wishes to raise rabbits should become familiar with market demands in order to select a breed that will find a ready sale, says a U. of California publication, "Rabbit Raising," by H.

The first concern of the breeder should be with utility rather than with fancy stock. Rabbit breeders have too frequently wasted muh time on unimportant characteristics. Leg bnrs. black toenails, and nose or ear markings have little effect on the utility value of any rabbit, though such markings may sometimes be correlated with certain desirable colors in the pelt'. Ultimately the popularity of a breed will largely depend on its utility value. I fKX . -- I was Lieut. John C. Morgan as h. of awarded the Congressional Medal to Honor.
