Cooking not only, increases the pala- tability but also increases the diges- tibility. Good results have been obtained by feeding two parts of grain to one part of cooked cull beans. If the hogs are on dry lot feeding, add some animal protein, such as meat meal or skim milk, as well as feeding from 5 to 10 per cent ground alfalfa, 1 per• cent oyster shell and 714 per cent salt. Beans should be cooked separately and never cooked with the grain or any grain mixture. Other types of livestock, such as cattle or sheep, utilize ; beans quite well without cooking. In fact, cook- ing does not add anything to ,their feeding value, but simply makes them more palatable fgr hogs. For best results in feeding beans to cattle or sheep, add from 15 to 20 per cent ground cull beans to a grain ration. Experiments have shown that each ton of cull beans is equiva- lent in feed value to over a ton of alfalfa and nearly a ton of barley, Feeding results will not be satisfac- tory when beans are fed to either cattle or sheep in larger quanti- ties than 15 or 20 per cent. ATC Hauls Army Freight On Many World Lines Typical of wartime developments in the air -cargo field is the Air Transport. command of the U, S. army air forces. Until June, 1941, this organization did not exist,' It was created for the simple chore of delivering completed lend-lease air- planes from factory to points of de- parture in the United States, The ATC entered 1943, however, with a network of air routes aggregating 90,000 miles, radiating from the United States to every part of the United Nations world. ATC planes carry all sorts of fly- ing freight. Mail to and from sol- diers is figured in tons. In a sample month, of 1943 before the Christmas rush began, in the Africa -Middle East sector alone, ATC planes car- ried 29 million pieces of mail. Ammunition and airplaneengines appear on lists of ATC cargo, battle- front -bound. Homeward trips bring such raw materials as diamonds, rubber seeds, and silk. Sparsely Settled The Pripet region of eastern Po- land is sparsely settled.' Pinsk, near its western edge, had a population of over 30,000 before German invasion in 1941. Elsewhere the inhabitants wrest a meager Iiving from their inhospitable land by fishing and priznitive farming, living in tiny vil- lages along the streams where high- er ground permits. During the spring and fall rainy seasons, many Pripet families are virtually isolated on islands within islands, reached only by locally -made flat-bottomed boats poled and pad- dled along the rivers. For the un- wary who may step off familiar paths, there is danger of meeting slow death in treacherous bogs and quagmires. After the winter freeze comes, toward the end of November, the flowing roads harden into land routes along which sleds normally transport crops and other supplies consumed within the area. Versatile Material Rayon is probably one of the most versatile of all textile fibers today, for it can be made into an almost endless variety pf fabrics. It can be used for very sheer delicate fah ries or heavy ones of great strength. It can be bright or dull in luster, smooth, fuzzy or rough in texture, It can be warm or cool and can be made to resemble cotton, linen, silk, • wool, and is frequently found in combination with other fibers. It is not only used for clothing of all kinds, but has been found to beimportant in the manufacture of household furnishings for draperies, upholstery, window curtains, bed- spreads and blankets. And in the, industrial (.field where fabrics must give long wear under hard service it has made a real place for itself. Synthetic Primer' A special synthetic white primer produced by the protective coatings industry has replaced cadmium plat- ing to provide the light-colored back- ground needed for magnetic inspec- tion of steel parts for aircraft to find out if any hidden (laws are in the metal. It has long .been the practice to give all articles to be magnetically inspected a flash coat of cadmium Severance Taxes Help Preserve States' Resources Few narked changes in severance tax legislation resulted from 1943 state legislative sessions, nor were the laws actually passed indicative of a uniform trend. One state—Ten- nessee—enacted a new 'crude oil production tax and another state, Texas, repealed its severance tax on ores, including marble and cinna- bar. The Tennessee oil production tax. is a privilege tax of five cents for, each 50 -gallon barrel of crude oil' processed or sold, and of 5 per cent of the sales price of any gas sold. Monthly reports and payments are to be made, and a fe'e of $10 per 1,000 feet, or fraction thereof,,' must ;be paid. A state oil' and gas board was established to administer the tax. ' Though severance tax revenues have accounted for less than 2 per cent of all state tax revenues, the masked increase in severance tax yields from 62 to 75 million dollars between fiscal years 1942 and 1943 is significant for the importance of this form of taxation, especially in the war economy. It' is pointed out that severance taxes as a means of protecting or preserving natural raw materials against uneconomical exploitation have an importance for the state and for the national economy as a whole which actually is much great- er than the relatively small revenue figures would imply. , Water Sprouting Soybeans Cover in Dark Place The first requisite for sprouting soybeans is to select a variety that will germinate readily. Soak the beans overnight, then put them into a flower pot, a sink strainer or col- ander, or any utensil that has holes in it for drainage and that can be covered. Be sure the container is sufficient in size, for the beans swell to at least six times their origi- nal bulk as they sprout. Cover the container and leave them in a warm, dark place, Light seems to make them develop an undesirable color. At least four or five times each day during' the sprouting period, flood or sprinkle the beans with luke- warm water. In four to six days the sprouts should be from two to three inches long and ready to use. Some authorities recommend the use of chlorinated lime (calcium hypochlorite) during the sprouting period to discourage the growth of mold and bacteria. The amounts suggested range from one-half to one teaspoonful per gallon of water. This chlorinated water should be used for the' last sprinkling each day and plain water used at all other times. Crown Mikado November 10, 1928, a ceremony took place in the ancient Japanese city of Kyoto which made one Hiro- hito a divine emperor supposed to be the "ruler of all nations." Yoshi- hito, the previous Mikado, had died of a mental disease which had ren- dered him unfit for state affairs for many years. Young Hirohito was making a grand tour of Europe in 1921 when he was recalled to as- sume the responsibilities of govern- ment as regent at the age of 20. The death of the old Mikado in 1926 left the young man in actual occu- pation of the throne, but the cere- mony of enthronement was not per- formed till two years later. Hirohito's inheritance included the "three sacred treasures" consisting of a sword, a mirror, and a stone necklace, said to have been handed down from the first legendary em- peror of Japan. The possession of these treasures transformed the :young Mikado, in the eyes of his 70 million subjects, into adivine per- sonage, a lineal descendant and liv-. ting representative of the sun -god- dess, Amaterasu-Omikami. Food Waste One of the first steps in prevent- ing waste revent-ing'waste of cooked food is proper storage. "Cold and covered" is the rule for keeping most leftovers ate tractive and palatable. Refrigera- tor space can be saved by storing foods that are good companions in the same containers, For instance,. potatoes, peas and ' carrots can all go into the same covered jar c2. dish,, for more than likely they will be used together. Two jars for liquids is another good idea—one for fruit juices and the other for the cooking liquid from vegetables. Fruit juices can go into a chilled fruit drink, a gelatin salad or dessert, or, a sauce for cake or pudding. Vegetable liquors can give flavor, vitamins and minerals to soups, cream sauce, gravy or vege- table juice beverages. toserve as a light-colored back- ground material against which the magnetic indications would stand out sharp and . clear. Conservation of cadmium, a scarce material, result- ed in the use of the, new coating, with highly satisfactory results'. Hardy Vegetables Kale and brussels sprouts are among the handy vegetables that may continue to provide fresh greens until well into December, or even later, if early winter weather is timid. TO keep the plants in pro- duction long, they may need some straw for protection in ';freezing weather. A few plants may be•put in 'a coldframe, if the gardener has one. A fence of chicken wire may be needed around the green plants, t k e o f tl rabbits Mysterious Function Most valuable, and at the same time mysterious, function of tanta- lum is as a "getter" in electronic tubes. This, in the slang of engi- neers and manufacturers, refers to the ability of tantalum, when heat- ed, to absorb or "get" stray gas molecules. These strays float around in even the best vacuums that man can produce, and are joined by gases given. off by other metal parts inside the tube and by the inner wall ' of the tube itself. • If not ab- sorbed the miscellaneous gas mole- cules interfere with the efficient op- eration of the tubes and finally make them useless.Thus tantalum makes a tube work better and live longer,, a result especially valuable in ra- dar. i L URS., AUG. l.Oth' 1944 Small Apple Maggots Lay Eggs in Fruit' The adults of the apple maggot are small, black and white flies which may be seen in the orchard on` both leaves and fruit, beginning about mid-July. These flies,a little; smaller than houseflies, can be rec- ognized by their color and by their close resemblance to small spiders. The latter effect is caused by the; markings and movement athein wings which are often mistaken for.• the jaws of•a spider. For about one'. week the flies .fly about and feed on'. materials they' find on both leaves:. and fruit before any eggs are laid: Egg laying is accomplished by in- serting the needle-like ovipositor be- neath the skin of an apple, causing, a puncture which can be found only after a knowing search. If the fruit is green, the maggot hatching from an egg may develop slowly at first, • the only sign of its presence being at tiny brownstreak in the fruit. At4; this time infested fruit may be, picked and sold without there being, any reason to suspect the maggot in-. side, Latex, as the apple ripens, the maggot grows rapidly and crawls, from the fruit after it has been ixi. Storage• or has fallen to the ground. Maggots from fallen apples tunnel into the soil to a depth of one or two inches and soon become encased`. in a yellowish capsule where they overwinter. The transformation. from maggot to fly takes place - within this capsule and about the, middle of July the flies emerge, Tiny Match -Shaped Lamp Lights Powerful Searchlight A new type of high-intensity searchlight providing more than 7,500,000 candlepower, its tiny match -shaped mercury lamp cooled. by compressed air, has been de- Iveloped in a wide variety of mount- ings ountings suitable for shipboard or land use. With its 900 -watt mercury. lamp, this 12 -inch searchlight is four times as powerful as the convention- al incandescent searchlight of the same size. Such heat is created by the mer- cury ercury arc inside the lamp that it must be constantly air cooled. The air is forced through a rubber hose into the top of the searchlight drum by an air compressor, and blows over the lamp through twin noz- zles. Twenty-five pounds of pressure is used. Warm air escapes through small ventholes in the bottom. With air cooling, the searchlight can be operated in all types of weather. The light beam, pale bluish -green in color, is flat and narrow, making. it suitable for many specialized ap- plications such as lighting of dis- tant horizontal surfaces from a low mounting height. Three circular louvers prevent the escape of stray light. Pyrethrum Old Pyrethrum's deadly effect on the little flying and crawling pests that have plagued man through the ages was discovered centuries ago in Per- sia where the flowers grow wild-- and where insects flourish: When use of the powder spread to Europe, Dalmatia and Montenegro, other homes.of wild pyrethrum plants, be- came the chief sources of supply. When world demand increased, Ja- pan, as in the cages of other prod- ucts, put its cheap labor to work at pyrethrum culture and at one time had almost a monopoly. But within the last decade production has grown rapidly in Kenya and other East African areas, Belgian Congo, and Brazil. Recently thou- sands of pounds of pyrethrum seed have been sent from Kenya, present chief grower of the plant, to such scattered regions as the Russian Caucasus, India, Ceylon, Egypt, Australia and Jamaica, with. a view to stepping up world production. Fun to Make Cupcake snow men are fun to make, but better yet to eat. For the body, anchor two plump Cupcakes, bottom ,to bottom, with a pair of crossed toothpicks. Then make an overcoat of fluffy seven -minute frost- ing. Swirl it on with a teaspoon.: Before the frosting hardens, top it. with half a marshmallow for a. muffler.. Now for his head—and don't put it on until you've finished it. Into a whole marshmallow poke two wholecloves, placed wide apart, for eyes. Cut a red hot cinnamon candy in half for his, mouth with a tiny quarter for the nose. With an- other toothpick anchor his head to his body, Peg on a thin two-inch.. siiee•of candied pineapple for his hat and crown it with a cherry. Line up three cinnamon candies for buttons . on his . coat, For, festive party re- freshments serve him atop a slice of ice cream and flank him with a cup of your best coffee, False Armistice Fifteen minutes after midnight. on November 7, 1919, a news agency annouhced the signing of a truce and by 11 a. m., it was l down throughout the nation. A wildl3;,Joy- ful populace staged ,day -long cele- brations. At 2:15 the state depart- ment issued an official denial, but, reluctant to accept the .unpalatable truth,the people: this time spread the news slowly. Actually the real truce was in: preparation and the true Armistice was signed on No- vember 11, 1918, at 5 a. m. (French time), Cessation of operations oc- curred six hours later and at 2:15 p. m: (EST) on November 11 the, . state department made ,the an --• nouneernent,
