Vitamins Can Be
Had Now Without
Eating Spinach
But Eating Pills To Get
Meal Said "Sill For The
Future"

WASHINGTON, July u (UP)
Now you can take your vitam-
ms straight.
You don't need to eat the food
that usually goes with them, which
is good nws to those who don't
like their spinach or orange
juice.
Experts Of the National Re-
sources board last night said that,
while the fantastic possibility of
eating pills to get a meal was
"stil flor the future" it is pos
siblc TO obtain vitamin C-the
one usually found in bulky fresh
fruits and vegetables-in a syn
thetic chemical form.
The latest Mount Everest Ex-
pedition saved valuable space in
ITS pack sacks by taking a small
supply of synthetic vitamin c in
stead of bulky canned goods
which previously had been neces-
saw l. was said.
Other foods have been "forti-
fled" with vitamin ID by a num-
Der of processes. Vitamin ID is
one Of the keystones of the well
balanced diet so that adding it to
ordinary food such as milk, one
of the more common processes, is
a forward step toward national
health and well being, it was said.
Milk is exposed to ultraviolet
rays from a light source as it
flows past in a thin film and the
amount of Vitamin d is thus in
creased in the product. The rea-
son for this is that ergosterol,
present in milk, is transformed
into vitamin ID under ultraviolet
light. u. 80
Another way to "fortify' milk
now in use is to feed the cows a
special feed which includes yeast
previously exposed to ultraviolet
light. This attack is more indir-
ect, it was explained. The prod
net of these specially fed cows is
known as metabolized vitamin d
milk.
While these new processes have
made it possible to "tortlfy
foods and even obtain vitamins in
a pure state, scientists have de-
veloped quick freezing as a COM
petitor for the traditional can
ming of fruits and vegetables.
BY this new technique it is now
possible, experts said, to have
strawberry shortcake any day in
the year simply by thawing out
the berries which retain the color,
flavor and fragrance of the fresh
ly picket fruit.
With the quick freezing pro-
cess, the question of whether one
may enjoy certain fruits out of
season now becomes a financial
one instead Of a technical one, 1t
was explained. -.,
The new process for preserving
strawberries, for example, also
raises the problem of obtaining
trnsatory laborers who can fol-
low the crop northward as the
various fruit or vegetable crops
reach the peak condition for pre-
serving. Thus, it was said, a new
social problem had grown up
along with the new technical pro-
cess for preserving fruits and
vegetables.

Complete figures on reappfo-

during senat debate on the relief

an estimate from the budget
bureau and the members them
selves varied on their estimates
from S24.OOO,0O0 to more than
$200,000,OO0.

ranchers swear by McMillen and
he SwearS by them.
The hOppers pass through sew
eral "moulting stages" The next
stage is the Sprouting of wings
for the largest of the hopperS. We
found several of the pests whose
wings are out more than a quar-
ter of an Mich. And when those
wings develop, watch out, As one
boarded Tancher expressed it:
They'll go, God knows where,
but they'll go fast and they'll be
hungry as a wolf wherever they
,, land"
That's why McMillen and Cool
and Warren and HutchinS and his
neighbOrS are working like mad
to accomplish mass murder before
the marching regiments take to

CAN TRAVEL 10 MILES
It's not pleasant to imagine the
deStroyers cutting through the
fertile fields of northern Colorado.
But it's not an impossible picture.
These migratory hopperS are
credited with 10 miles a day-and
it's a short jaunt between Hugo
and Greeley at that rate.
A Spreader, foremost weapon in
the fight against the graSShopper
hordeS, is a trailer-like business
that hooks onto an automobile or
truck. The top of the spreader
, consists of a hopper, into which
the mix is dumped. Below it are
blades which revolve with the
turning of the wheels. The mix
drops from the hopper to the
blades and is thrown 40 feet on
each side.
A typical batch of mix consists
of 10 gallons of molaSses, 10 gal
Ions of sodium arsenate, % gal
Ions of water and one pint of
banana oil. (Grasshoppers are
supposed to go for banana oil in
a hurryD Five gallons of the
above nectar is added to 200
pounds of SawduSt and 30 pounds
of bran.

Hugo country 81 years ago. He

ground that McAllister was count

200 cattle.
MUST MOVE CATTLE
The rancherS in the infested
areas are talking about moving
their cattle. They'll have to UNI
less they want q bunch of gaunt,
starved animals, because there's
nothing for cattle to live on. The
picture is no more cheerful for
farmers.

LOWER PRODUCTION
LEVELS PREDICTED
Standard Statistics Co. Believes
Readjustment Processes Not
Yet Completed.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-In its weekly
summary of the general business situ-
alton, the Standard Statistics Co. Of
New York currently comments IS
follows:
Notwithstanding the rapidity Of
the decline in general business, it Is
apparent that the readiustment proc
esses have not been entirely completed
in most industries. and that still
lower levels of production will be
reached in the next month or two.
THE steel industry, most sensitive
Of all the basic lines, has curtailed
production to around 80 per cent of
capacity, which represents decline
Of nearly IS per cent from the August
level and of 81 per cent from the
years peak rate. Incoming orders
probably do not justify even this rate,
and operations may drop still further
near the close of the year.
The automobile industry, while
somewhat laggard in cutting produc-
tion because of the necessity for sam
pling dealers with new models, is also
curtailing sharply
''It is necessary to look beyond the
next few months If any encourage
ment is to be found in the business
picture On this basis, some reassur-
snce is contained in the very speed
with which business has lowered oper-
ating schedules and reduced inven-
tories"
