Western Newspaper Union. ' Market Demand Should Govern Selection 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. M. Butterfield and W. E. Lloyd. Some rabbits will satisfy the market demands better than others. For example, a market that prefers a small fryer rabbit weighing from 1 to 2 pounds dressed or 3 to 4 pounds live will the producer in weight justify considering a breed that develops early and soon reaches a Marketable condition with a low feed cost. 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. Only a few breeders cater to a fur market 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 stock 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 new breeds. Nearly ent final choice will rest on the always 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 demand. 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 meat. Among the fur rabbits the Chinchilla, the American White, the New Zealand White, the White 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 n introduction of a breed is not always a paying undertaking. Selection of Individuals. Some general characteristics high-price- high-quali- ty As the War Food administration of requisitioned 170 million pounds dressed chicken and fowl for the government, OPA slashed point values on canned vegetables and or- dered frozen vegetables point-freWFAs action was prompted by the governments inability to obtain more than 20 per cent of the fowl they required in recent months, and the army was said to be particularly anxious to get the poultry for Sunday dinners at camp and hospital diets. Civilians may be little affected by WFAs order, however, since it does not apply to stock stored after December 30, 1943. Because of comfortable stocks of canned green and wax beans, zero point values were established for them. A 10 per cent reduction in consumer demands for canned peas and tomatoes during the last two months led OPA to chop their point values for No. 2 and Vk cans to 15. In an attempt to move frozen vegetables from storage to make room for record pork stocks, all point values were removed. e. New Britain lnd Map shows points of U.

CW-1, Seeking to avert a threatened strike after the switchmen, conductors and firemen and enginemen had refused his offer to arbitrate their wage demands against the carriers, President Roosevelt quickly seized the nations railroads for the government. Representing about 150,000 men, the three unions had balked at presidential intervention even after the trainmen and engineers accepted FDRs proposal, as a result of which they received an overall pay increase of 9 cents an hour. Also accepting FDRs offer at the last minute were the 15 railroad unions representing 1.150.000 employees, who suddenly agreed to a former government proposal of pay increases ranging from 10 cents an hour for the lowest paid to 4 cents an hour for the highest paid, but also insisted on overtime compensation past 40 hours.

During 1943, the navy trained twice as many pilots as in 1942, and three times as many combat planes were sent to the front.
