NEW University) Although nature probably never intended chicks to grow and develop on a milk diet, milk is nevertheless one of the best foods on which to start chicks on careers of rapid, continuous growth. The best form in which to use milk for chicks is sour skim milk furnished as a beverage. The process of souring breaks down the milk solids into forms which are readily digested by chicks. The presence of tne lactic acid in the intestines of the chicks is also advantageous. If every chick placed under brooders this spring could be made to drink sour skim milk every day during the first 10 weeks of its life the 1941 chick crop would show a remarkable growth and a very low mortality, other things being equal. Furnish chicles a sufficient supply of sour skim milk preferably in stone ware or glass containers, every morning. Withholding water will force them to drink it. Always empty out whatever old milk may remain in the containers and thoroughly cleanse the utensils before refiUing. There is so much water in sour skim milk that chicks really do not need water as well as the milk. Sour skim milk seems to serve as an appetizer for chicks. By encourmash conaging greater grain-anit the rate of sumption, speeds up development. Sour skim milk is a splendid supplement, particularly for broiler rations. In places where skim milk is not available, the commercial condensed buttermilk products may be diluted and used as a beverage. Of course, buttermilk may be used in place of sour skim milk if it is more readily available and cheaper. 1 AGRICULTURE IN INDUSTRY f By Florence C. Weed (This is one of a series of articles showing how farm products are Coding an important market in industry.) Oats An important industrial use for oat hulls was discovered by accident in 1922. Chemists were trying to improve the digestibility of oats as a cattle feed when they discovered furfural, a compound obtained from oat hulls. At first this was a laboratory curiosity, but soon many uses were uncovered. Large quantities of furfural are in the manobtained as a ufacture of rolled oats and at times, cereal companies operate mainly to produce raw oat hulls as the raw material for furfural. This compound might also be obtained from straw of wheat and other grains. At present, furfural is sold in tank lots for a germicide, a wood preservative, an improver of tobacco flavor, a solvent for dyes and leather dressing and in the refining of lubricating oils. It is also possible to use furfural as a plastic compound. New methods are being studied to keep it from turning dark. It has been proposed as a material for a durable waterproof road when blended with soap, salt, lime, farm wastes and soil. Several kinds of alcohol can be produced commercially from furfural and appear to have promise as solvents, plasticizers and wetting and cleansing agents in different kinds of manufacturing. It might also be used as a fuel for Diesel engines if it were not so expensive. More familiar uses of oat straw are as a blanket in curing concrete roads, as hindered in briquetted fuels and as poultry litter. The United States produces 25 per cent of the worlds oats, valued at by-prod- $350,-000,00- 0.

BRED, BRED, AND ACCLIMATED There were some dispatches from northern Africa that tended to show that the British had brought the blitz to a standstill after losing practically all the territory gained against Mussolinis men earlier. Particularly noteworthy was the bombardment of Tripoli by the fleet, an attack at the source of the inBritain vading armys supplies. proudly hailed this attack, reported the port was in flames, and practically forced to close. Whether landing parties would be sent ashore, and the British attempt an invasion at the rear of the northern African army was not immediately clear, or whether it was that the British, having found where the opposing forces had landed, were seeking to close the port. However, it was an offensive note where all had been defense for a long time. Also, the British garrison at Tobruk was holding out in a long siege, and on top of this defensive note came word that the British had started a new attack on Bardia, some 75 miles to the west of Tobruk, which looked like the beginning of a move to attempt to raise the siege. The attack, or rather raid, on Bardia, was carried out by a landing party from the fleet, and the party got back to the ships almost intact after doing considerable damage, blowing up a bridge, destroying a munitions dump and putting four coast defense guns out of business. This going ashore and spiking the guns was an old tactic of war that now seems out of date, and it was refreshing to read about and to imagine the sneak ashore in the dark in small boats, the rapid move in surprise on the defenders, and the mad flight before dawn to the boats again. Also it was announced from London that General Wavell had been given an assistant, with the title of deputy commander, Lieut. Gen. Blarney of Australia, who has been in command of the Australian forces. Now, whether this meant that Wavell was about to be removed, or that a bigger situation was to develop in Africa remained to be seen, but it was an interesting announcement, at all events, and meant that something was going on within the organization of an army that had just fled as fast as it had advanced. The true story of the northern African campaign still was untold and that was increasingly evident. flICRS TAXES: , Defense Finance The Germans, it was apparent, were able to do in about three or four weeks what Italy had been unable to do in any length of time beat the embattled Greeks. The battle of Jugoslavia which lasted nine days, being over, the A practically unanimous vote of the house committee considering President Roosevelts $3,500,000,000 tax plan to finance a portion of the national defense cost, seemed to grease the ways for the launching of a bill. But almost immediately there were some signs that opposition would rise against the bill when, as and if it was brought out. One of the basic ideas in the tax layout is a plan to levy higher surtaxes on everyone who now pays income tax. mother was to invade the lower brackets and make those pay taxes who are not now doing so. - For instance; It was pointed out in opposition quarters, the new proposed surtax schedule would make a childless couple now eamipg $2,500 net earned income, a couple now paying $11 income tax, hike their tax to $72. All income taxes now include the tax on a tax, or the 10 per cent income tax supertax for defense purposes. Despite the appearance of opposition, the President told a press conference he thought the nation well able to absorb a $3,500,000,000 hike in taxes. He said it would mean that people would have to buy a little less, and pay a little bit more for the sake of the defense and future of the nation. Italians contented themselves with pursuing the Greek army of Epirus, only a shell, it is true, of the forces the Greeks had there originally, and which had to withdraw because of the onslaught of the Panzer divisions in the eastern part of the country. When this army surrendered, it was certain that the end of Greek resistance was in sight. King George' II, announcing that he had not been informed of the impending surrender of the western army, fled with his government to Crete, announcing he would continue to direct the offense from there. But it was apparent that the Greek campaign must be abandoned, and the British must face another Dunquerque or lose their entire manpower on the mainland. The debarkation from Piraeus promised to be even a more difficult task than the flight from France, as German claims of sinking 59,000 tons of transports in one day showed. Just as the British lost all their artillery and mobile units and the rest of their supplies in the retreat from the low countries, so it also appeared the vastly smaller army in Greece would, nevertheless, suffer the same loss, if, indeed, they were able to get away at all. Military observers believed, when totaled up, the British disaster in Greece would amount to more from the standpoint of casualties than did the entire British campaign in France. And this they believed in spite of constant reports from London that lines were holding firm and that new. defensive positions were being consolidated reports circulated even at the moment when the king and government of Greece were in flight, and thousands of Greek soldiers were laying down their arms. That this was a censorship smoke screen to attempt to cover a trial at withdrawal similar to the Dunquerque pattern seemed fairly obvious to most observers. Central battle in the final debacle occurred at historic Thermopylae Pass, where in ancient times the Greeks had successfully withstood precarious threats to her independence. In fact, most military observers had always maintained that in order to conquer Greece Thermopylae Pass must first be threaded. However, in ancient times, the pass was narrow indeed now it was wider, the attackers had fast mobile units to pour into the fray, and the Greek and British rear guard, said the Germans, were totally unable to withstand the advance. The cloud of censorship hid the facts about the British withdrawal, whether it would be entirely tried through Piraeus, or whether the British forces would retreat through Athens to the Peloponnesus, and attempt to fight or debark there. But certain it was that Greece was doomed, after three to four weeks of furious warfare, warfare in which the Germans suffered their heaviest losses of the war. Little Man Most of the early opposition appeared to be against a plan which would place a heavy load on the already heavily taxed little man in the form of income tax where he would feel it the most. Also the surtax would hit heavily insurance companies and banks who are heavy holders of government bonds. At top and at bottom seemed the chief opposition to the tax. For instance, a single person with an income of $1,000 (net earned) would pay $29 tax under the proposed schedule instead of $4 as at present. A married couple with two children with an earned net income of $3,500 who would now be paying $15 income tax, would find their levy boosted to $100. Under the plan, the 4 per cent tax would be retained, and the surtaxes would start with $2,000, (11 per cent) which would be a total of 15 per cent. To this would be added the defense supertax, or 10 per cent of the total tax, added to the bill. The effective rate, therefore, on the bottom bracket, would be 16.5 per cent. The treasury estimated that these changes, if put into effect, would raise a billion dollars a year, or a little less. The estate tax exemption, under another plan, would be reduced from $40,000 to $25,000, and rates in the lower and middle brackets would be raised. This, the treasury experts said, would yield about a third of a billion. As a sample of this tax, if one inherited $20,000, over and above the exemption limit of $25,000, one would pay $1,800 to the treasury instead of $600 as at present. If a person inherited $125,000, or $100,000 more than the proposed exemption, the tax would be hiked from the present $9,C00 to $21,000. . . . WHITE LEGHORNS S. C. R. I.

Salt Lakes NEWEST HOTEL JAPAN: Bitter Days The Japanese, still meeting harsh resistance to their armed effort against the Chinese, and attempting to meet the demands of their new Axis partners that they do something as a military or naval power in the Orient, are meeting bitter days, according to analytical comment. Instead of being able, through propaganda, to infiltrate with Nipponese influence into the Dutch East Indies, that territory is reported to becoming more hostile than ever to the new order. The Dutch, said writers in that territory, have been watching the effect of Japanese influence in and China, Korea and in they were said to have lost any interest they might have had in the probabilities of their fate if they should fall into Japanese hands.
