Here it is. Washington State College sci- entists have found a way to make barley and other cereal grains as good feed as corn, This discovery is of particular import-, ance to farmers in the Pacific Northwest, since this area is short of corn. *e * Working with chicks a n d poults, Drs, Leo S. Jensen and James McGinnis, and research assistants Ramon Fry and John Allred have discovered a treat- ment using either water or an enzyme mixture fer barley that gives as good bird growth and produces as much meat per pound of feed as corn does. * "This discovery should mean much to farms ire areas such as ours," explains Dr. McGinnis, "On the Seattle feed grain mar- ket barley is currently quoted at $46 a ton and corn $65. Trans portation charges average about $22.50 on Midwest corn," * 110 also points out that the United States is about the only big corn feeder in the world, "Most of the rest of the world feeds its livestock and poultry on other cereal grains. Their big problem is to get the calories for their animals. This process could be a real beton to them." Up to this time, barley, for example, has only rated about 70 per cent the feeding value of corn for chicks, and about 80 per cent for laying hens, Now they'll rate equal. The water treatment, accord- ing to the WSC scientists, works aim) with soybean oil meal, rye, and wheat. Even corn itself is Improved by undergoing the treatment. The enzyme treat- ment so far has worked best with barley and. rye. * * Here's how they "soup up" the grains.

Shipping Air By Freight One thing that's I'm In the Soviet Won Is air. There's Jots of it, too, Toe much, in fact, Pravda, admitted recently as it told about a new Soviet indus- try that has already overfulflill- ed some of Communist boss Iscuhpmclaiec;:t1 goals for world Out cast in Vladivostok, it turned out this summer, a rail- road traffic manager bad been meeting his freight quotas by shipping carloads of water from place to place with such enthu- siasm that tank cars were occa- sionally frozen solid in.transit and. roadbeds washed out by "de- liveries." But in the game of fulfilling quotas, he was an ama- teur compared with the opera- tors of the new industry - shipping air by railroad freight, Soviet rail wages are computed on the volume of shipments. Some years ago, the Soviet railroads began using large crates for shipment so that mechanized loading would save money. These became "very popular" on a number of rail lines, according to Pravada's re- port from V. Ocheretin, an em- ployee of the Sverdlovsk ter-, minal on the eastern slope of the Urals, In the last ten years, the number of such 'crates in use has multiplied 35 times. Many of them, however have been loaded with air. A cheek of waybills on the Sverdlovsk line slimed the average crate (total capacity unspecified) con- tained 688 pounds of air, Oche- retin said, and one had 1,760 pounds of the stuff. "And those who transport the atmosphere are getting bonuses!" the Sverlayslc man complained. He calculated that the Sverde lovsk railroad alone shipped 1 million tons of air last year and demanded: "What about the rest of the country?" The cost of shipping the air averaged out to $3.50 per ton. - From NEWSWEEK, Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking asoasC 7+11'3'3 CI 031\1'13 3 SVIN V VI A N 3 0 n N3 08 C__I 3 3 1A110 $ISEJit.38 n M 4J,0 3 3 1 a 3 S V 3 3 N 0 M V 0 3 ON ci 1 3 a 3 3 H 3 a i0 V 'G di 3 b. 3 V tAt N V '3 a 1 O 3 S 0 3 Ilt„uiell, Steadfast Iii Crises 0.4ele1151 , 8.5,221 .33.81,4, 10, mziry- Selection; IPS strong kt, the Lord, and in E40 salver ri Ills might, EpheSians 1h W 1,11:..11 youth,th, fury had aen aptelvveent:la eigq lend, he purposed in htit he; 21 that he would not deal$ him', if.

Dethrone How Wi ther Used To alie *Altter rrealli Wit; iitid the Vetter IA properly evailuel .and salted, nover was a erearnery hut. ter yet, to touch .% valet remember, 'offhand, what the temperature was. It wan sort-of room temperature,. but there wee leeway enough so. a woman could gmeis at it, you could chtirn cold cream until your eyes fell out and your lime fell off,. and. still have cream. And it wouldn't stand being het 'too much. But with the tempera- thee right, butter would „come fairly soon, and without too much stress and strain. I can't remember that Mother ever turned the cranit except on the tail end to corroborate our insistence that the butter boa "come,' This was when the fatty globules separated from the watery, or buttermilk, part and adhered to each other to make chunks, If it felt to her that it had come enough, she dismissed us and took over the gathering and washing, She pounded and patted and turned and folded, and added a little salt at .a time, and eventually formed it in pat- ties and dabs. We had some molds, but unless you, planned to sell butter it was just as use- ful in patties, I think most of the great dram- atic churners, troubled emotion- ally with insoluble problems, de, picting their inner passions - if they were really churners - would work it as Mother did. She loaded the churn and said, "There, now e . keep it moving." As she rolled pie dough and wash- ed cookie tins and peeled pota- toes she kept one ear on the churn, and if whichever of us was on duty missed a revolution she mentioned it. I always felt she timed ray turn foe about 25-min- utes before a ball game, and I kept the crank going without the slightest hitch so I could get there in time to play.. there were no game, and nothing special to call me, I dillydallied at the crank. My sister caught me-once. She was churning, and she said, "Keep it going a minute while I rest my arm." Then she went away. I was never equal to arranging any similar mean trick to get even. with her. She had some kind of a misguided fancy that the in- cident was funny, but I never did. Everybody hated to churn. The dasher churn, favorite of the tragedians, had many' mech- anical faults. The up 'n' down motion was extremely tiring, and after 10 minutes you would be changing hands every four or five strokes. Then the handle would wear in the hole, and churn with any experience at all would be little more than a pis- ton that squirted cream in your eye. I think, too, that the vertical action of the dasher was an in- efficient coagulator, and reueh less effective than a splash or paddle churn. A very good churn was a smallish barrel mounted on a frame, and when you turned the crank the barrel would raz tate end for end, Baffles inside agitated the cream and brought butter soon. But it took a lot of cream to make such a big churn useful, and it took strong arms to turn it. Our family used the regular round churn with a pad- dle Wheel in it, which would take care of a couple of cows. When the cows tapered off we wouldn't have enough cream even for that churn, and sometimes butter got made in a bowl ,with an egg beater. It seems to me the chief reason why a rural character, depicted on stage and screen, would be sad and melancholy would be the lack of somebody to turn the crank or jerk the handle. This would be a thing in itself, and momentarily would ' overshadow any other emotional stress. Such a country character would be talking .about the churn itself, and not about mortgages falling due, or family apart, or why they don't let Henry out of jail. Show me a symbolic churn, and I'll show you who never worked one. - by Sohn Gould in The Chris- tian Science Monitor. The Ethel And The Model T For anyone who once owned and drove a Model' T Ford ad- vent of the new Edsel throws wide the flood-gates of memor- ies. Owned and drove one not as a hobby but as a piece of valu- able if not essential transporta- tion And a Model T not of its 'twilight before the dawn of the Model A, but a Model T in all the starkness of its own Eocene age. It came, to be sure, with four' wheels, left-side steering, a powerful little motor, an al- leged "one-man" top, and elec- tric headlights. But all of these items demand description. The wheels were shod with high-pressure tires about the size of those on a modern mo- torcycle. They had to be chang- ed (and frequently) on the wheel and on the ear by prying them off• the "clincher" rim. The favorite tool was a broken spring leaf, The motor was hand cranked and water cooled - without a water pump. And it boiled mer- rily on any summer day on any long grade. Experienced drivers were known to fix leaks in the cooling system by pouring corn meal Or breaking an egg into the filler pipe. The fuel tank Snuggled under the seat, and if the "gas" ran low on a steep hill the experienced driver knew how to' back up the incline so the fuel would rein clown into the carburetor. The steering gear; the size of an alarm clock, was just beneath the steering wheel, The driVer felt every rut and sock in his hands. Two pedals worked the transmission. :Press down on one for low, let back for high, and down on another for backing. (One purchaser is said to have pressed down for 800 Miles be- fore he learned he could "let 'er back.") A skillful dance step on these two pedals could spin a Model T around "on a dime," The headlights tan on the illagriete (the tail light oft kero- sene). The fester the road let one goo the brighter the lights: the rougher the road, the dim- mer the lights unless one thee* into. neutral and rated the mo- tor.

One can sensibly ask, "Why the churn?" For making butter is never an integral part of the program, and has no essential meaning within the Clas- sical unities, as laid clown by all' authorities from Aristotle on, sug- gest that a churn, if it appears, •th,ould then be followed by some business which forwards the in- ulcations of the plot. Seeing a churn, which the Sad character is belaboring, one has the right to assume that shortly butter will figure in some important way in the sequences. It is a critical fact that in the past 25 dramatic churnings I have witnessed, they never made any butter, and but- ter never got mentioned. I have ....oleic to believe that none of these stage churns has any cream in it anyway. I suppose it would be wasted • time, at this late date, to tell in a general way how butter was made, Cream was accumulated preferably from a butterfat-type cow like a Jersey, and while it was still sweet Mother would warm it to the proper tempera- ture and insert it in the churn. You could make butter all right from cream thatemas just a little bit older than 'sweet, which is. why a great many people say they never liked "dairy" butter. Cream that was too old made enusculat butter. You could get much the same unfortunate effect by neglecting to wash the butter thoroughly after it was churned - and if you got butter that was . made ;from elderly cream and didn't get washed enough you would notice it right away. But if the it absorbs all the water, Then it is dried, ground, and mixed in a regular poultry ration. • .0 This works, they believe, be- cause the water is able to un- lock some of the carbohydrates formerly inaccessible in the grain, Enzymes also might do this, they reasoned. The results proved about the same. • * The researchers believe what they've found out will apply to grains for other single-stomach animals, too. Animals -with sev- eral stomachs-for example, the cow-are able naturally to get as much nutrition from other cereals as from corn, but single- stomach animals are not. 4, * What's this discovery worth to poultrymen? At four weeks of age, the scientists' birds had gained 190 pounds more per ton of 'feed on the treated' barley than they did on the untreated. * The extra meat is worth about $38 to the farmer. So the birds not only will produce more meat and so bring in more money, but the farmer in a corn - deficient area will save money by buying other locally available grains in- stead of importing corn.
