Pinch Hitting For Nature Is
 Winters Task

DENVER. Jan 28-Pinch hitting for nature, R. F. Winters is tinker ling with the law of the survival of the fittest and expects modest di- vidends"
 What he calls modest" is a new and exciting business that he expects may gross S185 coo this season. Boiled down, the business is to play proxy for captive foxes on jack rabbit hunts.
 The business was born when Win ters went to the aid of fox breeders having a hard time of it to supply their fox farms With an abundant daily ration of protein For years the fox farmers depend led upon good supply of wild range horses to produce cheap meat, but finally the herds became less abun- idant and that fox delicacy, horse chops" became dearer.
 T racked my brain for some new source of meat" said Winters, who is fur buyer
 SGld Short
 Then I thought: What did a fox eat when he was wild?'
 '"The answer was rabbits and l realized I had the correct solution +of my puzzle, for the longlegged, high jumping jack-rabbits of the west are considered a pest by the farmers
 Winters eXperimented, discovered that feeding foxes rabbit meat in- creased the average size of each new litter by one cub and added lustre and sheen to the fur of the animals.
 We contracted to sell 1000 GOO pounds of jack-rabbit meat to fur growers before We actually had one pound in sight said Winters. Then it was up to me to produce the jack rabbits"
 Trying Canning
 Within few weeks he had 50 packing plants processing rabbit meat in western states To keep them busy, we organized rabbit drives in scores of communities, paying for every rabbit that was killed School children, the Amer ican Legion, and farm organizations lcooperated The farmers were glad Ito get paid for killing rabbits be- cause they destroy field crops The meat is frozen at 10 degrees below zero, then ground with fruits, vegetables and cereals for fox feed. 1 Now We are experimenting with canning and if we are successful it will open the markets of Europe to us.' Winters said. The possibili- 1 ties are almost limitless.

 This new season it looks like United Artists, where between Dav- id O. Selznick and Sam Goldwyn they've put out The Prisoner of Zenda, Stella Dallas" Dead End" The Hurricane Nothing Sacred" and reams of publicity on Gone With the Wind Figured for big money likewise are the un- released rom Sawyer and Marco Polo" and "Goldwyn Follies."
 For Metro, this far in advance, "Rosalie" looks like a best bet, with Benefits Forgot" a dark horse of importance. But there's still time for Leo to growl more fiercely.
 Outlook for the Year
 Here's how Barney Balaban, Paramount president, sees the 1888 production trend: more and more dizzy, slapstick type screen plays, more and more comedies gener- ally, many of them musicals; next in importance, stories on early Am erican history, i. C., Wells Fargo" The Buccaneer' Gangsters are out, except in the B's, and old- fashioned tear-jerkers, tog ct h c r with political and social themes, will be rare
 But, with the public, you never can tell-as MT. Balaban is care- full to add.
