Research laboratories maintained
by the packers are being devoted
entirely to military problems. The

approximately 100 specific investi-
cations under way in cooperation
with quartermaster officers. They
are working out new ways Of using
and preserving the 20O-odd products
which are taken out of the hog
and nearly as many out Of other
animals-on the great "disassembly

parts together, as IN the construc-
ton Of an automobile.
The lease-lend program followed
so shortly by Americas entrance
into the war has forced departure
on some entirely new lines. A good
example Is the dried egg. Eggs,
full of proteins and vitamins, were
vitally needed in England. Precious
refrigeration space was needed to
ship them. Egg powders had been
made in this country for a long
time but there was no great demand
for them. It was the practice to
dry the yolks and the white sepa-
rately. They spoiled quickly when
mixed together. This problem was
approached from the research side
and method evolved which makes
the dried whole egg entirely salts
factory, according to English re-
ports.
Better Grades Unliked.
At first these reports were some-
what disconcerting. Eggs are graded
for the American market. The same
practice was followed with egg
powders. The English reports were
that the poorer grades were fine
but that something was wrong with
the better grades. The answer was,
1t was found, that the English con-
sumner likes what he was used to
having. In the past only low-grade
eggs had been processed in this
way.
Just now the packers have a
bathing problem on their hands.

Prompts Warning
For Conservation
Vicious Cycle Raising
For-Reuchins Problems,
Forest Service CIuims
By Wide World News.

By Wide World News
With war efforts making new
demands on the Nations supply OF
timber, the Forest Service repeated
with new emphasis today Its an
nual warning of the need for con-
servation.
The service contends that two
steps must be taken: First-Govern-
ment ownership and management
of much more forest land, and,
second-Government regulation of
lumber and wood cutting on
privately owned land.
In giving out the annual report
Of the service, an official remarked:
"It contains the same old story.
We've been saying this year after
year.
Even So" he added, Eve feel it's
q story that should be told and re-
told. I admit that we get dis
couraged sometimes; we wonder If
people aren't adopting toward our
forestry resources the characteristic
American policy of waiting until the
horse has been stolen before lock-
ing the barn door,
Starts "vicious Cycle"
The report, signed by Acting
Chief Earle H. Clapp, declared:
Defense demands have led to
greatly increased cutting in many
forest regions. This is depicting
privately-owned virgin forests more
rapidly. 1t Is eating more rapidly
into privately owned second-growth
forests. 1T is a speeded up re-
petition of the vicious cycle that
has been so largely responsible for
so many serious and widespread
social and economic problems-prob-
lens like most of the worst of those
rural slums that, still fostering
within territory that totals more
than one-fourth of our land area,
30 seriously affect the lives and out
look on life Of millions Of farm
families and of thousands Of others
In rural villages"
There seems to be little disagree
ment with the Forest Services an
nual contention that the forests are
not being properly conserved. But
there is widespread disagreement
over methods Of conservation.
The Forest Services recommended
tions for greater governmental own
ership and control have been char
acterized by opponents as "socialis-
tic" Some also contended that public
regulation Of cutting practices on
privately-owned land would infringe
upon property rights.
The Forest Service retorts that
the national welfare should prevail
over property rights.
Opponents of public regulation
propose that the forestry industry
set up self-regulation to weed out
wasteful cutting operations.
To this, the service replies:
'It just isn't in the cards for
owners, most OF whom are practic-
ing destructive liquidation for maxi
mum immediate profits, voluntarily
to enforce adequate forestry-crop
ping practices on themselves. Nor
can voluntary self-regulation be eX-
pected to function in the face of
such financial pressures and boom
markets as have led to quick liqui-
dation of most Of the privately
owned forest resources"
The report emphasized that an
increasing number Of "far-sighted
leaders" among forest owners were
adopting good forest practices, but
added that most private owners still
cling to destructive cutting"

products abroad.
Then the packers, with their own
research workers, hit on scheme
which not only makes refrigerator
ships largely unnecessary but con-
serves all the space hitherto taken
up by the refrigeration machinery.
Moreover, it is impossible for q sub
marine commander to pick food
carrying ship out of convoy.
Chilled Lard Insulation.
First, the hold is floored with
wool batting and rooted over with
rock wool. Then it is lined with
hollow walls Of corrugated board.
These walls are filled with lard,
chilled to temperature Of 20
degrees F. Lard does not freeze.
1t is excellent insulating material.
1t loses its own heat very slowly. It
happens to be one of the food prod
ucts most needed overseas. The
frozen meat was packed into such a
compartment. Experiments at the
Chicago laboratories showed that it
kept in perfect condition for 81
days, the length of the average voy-
age. Not an inch of ship space was
wasted.
Another noteworthy development
has been in lard preservation. In
warm weather it gets rancid quickly,
and for this reason has fallen some
what into disfavor with American
housewives. 1t was found that when
there was mixed with the grease
about hundredth of l per cent of
the product Of South American
tree Of the arbor vita family, the
lard would keep perfectly for six
months or more in any weather.
Application of similar methods to
other food products may be a god

in the tropics. Among the projects

has shown that . lamb has wool Of
about this length from SIX to seven
weeks after Its first shearing-and
this is sooner than the average sheep
raiser likes to send his animals to
market. The only remedy, as the
packers see 1t. is to urge earlier
marketing. This may mean q little
higher price for lamb. 1t will also
mean considerably less wool, In which
a shortage already Is feared.

ARMY OF YEAST SOLDIERS AIDS IN WAR ON AXIS

NEW YORK - A whole divi- sion of the smallest soldiers" in the battle for democracy could line up for repiew on parade ground no bigger than a micro scope slide and still have room to spare, according to Dr. A. J. Liebmann, director of the Schen ley Research Institute.
 The midget soldiers, Saccharo- myceS CereVisiae to Dr. Lieb- mann, are yeast cells that have been enlisted in the war against the axis because their action is vital in converting grain into ethyl alcohoP' for use in manu- featuring smokesless gunpowder. The importance of their part in the war is shown in the fact that 140 gallons of alcohol for smoke less powder are needed every time l6-in gun is fired.
 Since good yeast strains mean good ethyl alcohol which means a greater yield of smokeless pow der, Liebmann said, means keep ing them at regulated tempera- lures, feeding them specified amounts of amino acids and nut rient salts and guarding them from bacterial infection. Stray bacteria and heat are yeast's worst enemies"
 Even small amounts of air borne bacteria would contamin-

 But yeast cells have a strong resistance 10 cold, he said, build ing themselves Q protective insul at;on against it. Under such con ditions, healthy yeast cell re- mains in a state approaching sus pended animation for months at time. He said this is the meth cd used by the Schenley Re search Institute in preserving the unbroken lines of prize strains developed in peacetime and now sreving the country by producing ethyl alcohol.
 ''The yeast soldiers are so small Liebmann said, that 5000 of them could stand shoul- der to shoulder at attention on a line only an inch long"
 He added that under a high power microscope, they tiny ani- mal-like cells Who'Ve gone all out for Victory are faintly yellow ish, immobile globes.
