New Wonders on Farm,
 Additional Shekels in
 Pockets, Is Prediction
B yJACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA. The Department of Agriculture has gone H. G. Wells. Dipping into the lab- oratory and experimental Farm sta- tions for material, it has written it's own little treatise on the shape of things to come"
 Prefacing it with a note of warn ing that nobody really can predict exactly what is on the way, the department proceeds to list and discuss experiments and inventions that point in the direction of new wonders on the farm and addition al shekels in the farm family's savings account.
 There is, for example, the use of co,chicine, werful drug from Asiatic and European mead ow saffron that apparently makes fertile heretofore sterile plant hy- brids and may open the door to hundreds of new varieties of fruits, vegetables and field crops.
 There's a new acid with a name as long as from here to Tokyo which, when used in a spray with only half-teaspoonful to 100 gall Ions of water, keeps apples and other fruit from dropping off the trees.

NEW BREED OF CHICKENS

Out in Oklahoma, pr. R. George Jaap has been working for four years to produce a new breed of chickens (Oklabars), the sex of which may be determined at birth by feather coloring, thus permit ung the elimination of an over abundance of males from a ship ment of baby chicks.
 The department also is casting watchful eye on the work of the Kansas City scientists who are trying to make palatable food out of grass, which has been found to have vitamin content far great CT than that of the four standard classes into which fruits and vege- tables are divided.
 For instance, the department says, on an equal weight basis, it already has been determined that grass and leaves have about 280 times as much Vitamin A as a po- tato and 190 times as much as tomatoes and citrus fruits. Grasses also have about ten times as much Vitamin B as any other fruits or vegetables.
 Here's one to toy with: the day when you'll go out to the grass farm for weeks supply of fresh food and Johnny can rake the leaves in the front yard for a quick snack

WASHING GTON = Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy has been deny ing newspaper stories lately, so ne may deny this one. But in Holly wood recently, he had the move mcguls almost pop-eyed with hls confidential views on the outcome of the war and appeasement. In brief, he said that England was virtually defeated.
 Ambassador Kennedy went out to California to visit William Randolph Hearst, and to consider proposal by banking interests that he join the Hearst newspaper enterprises While there Joe, who once headed the Keith -Albee-Orpheum Thea atres and later Pathe, dropped in to see some of his old friends in Hol- lywocd.
 At a private gathering of movie mcguls he expounded these extra ordinary views:
 1. That England, although
 fighting heroically, faced over
 whelming odds, and the United
 States might as well realize
 that England was virtually de-
 feated.
 3. That the United States
 should carefully limit it's aid to
 Britain so as to gain time to
 become fully armed, in order to
 be in a better position to do
 business with the Axis victors.
 3. That Hollywood produc-
 CTS should stop making films
 offensive to the dictators.
 Kennedy also admonished his lls- teners to follow the views of the Will Hays organization and heed the strictures of the Catholic Le- zion of Decency. He emphasized the great damage was being suffered by the Church as result of the war, which was emptying the churches His thesis was that the Church must seek peace as soon as possible.
 Kennedy remarks, although off, the-record. caused such sensation that they were communicated inn mediately to Washington Kennedy
