JobIess Father Who Fed Children Grass
To Be Honored for Vitumin Discoveries

if they were denied certain grass
vitamins. He does not say grass
will cure gray hairs in humans
Three B vitamins are known to have
some role in keeping natural color
in hair.

atable 1t must be quick-dried to
preserve most of its vitamin content
Dried Quickly and Powdered.
Mr.. Schnabel and his associates
dried grass in flash high tempera-
ture Then they powdered it and
found that IL pounds of it contained
more vitamins than $40 pounds of
vegetables and fruitS-more vege-
tables and fruits than the average
person eats a year.
The experiments began with Mr.
Schnabels hunch that if green grass
in spring benefited chickens. cows
and horses, it ought to benefit them
the year around if grass could be
preserved in its green and tender
stage.
Tests showed grass vas richest in
vitamins after about 18 days Of
growth, just before it forms seed
bearing stem. Wheat, rye, oats and
barley grasses are cut exactly at that
stage to produce the grass food.

preston. and 1881 found him hard
hit for money to feed his family

heart ever since he left his parents

way through the University OF
Missouri by selling books house to

Family on the grass that had put
his small flock of chickens to pro-
ducing eggs on an almost 100 per
cent basis for five months.
BY adding dehydrated grass to
the family's menu he nourished the
eight on dollar day-l2 cents
apiece.
To have a constant supply of
grass at the right stage, he space
planted his 2-acre plot at two
week intervals.
Four O'Clock every morning found
him cutting grass. He quick-dried
it over the hot air registers of his
home. Then the grass was ground
in sausage grinder and put in the
family's milk.
Sometimes when the temperature
was 80 degrees outside, the Schnabel
furnace was running full blast.
Mr.. Schnabel found poultry feed
companies unwilling to finance re-
search.
One day in 1895 he went to see
Lynwood Smith, a butter company
executive, about borrowing a
vacuum pan to condense grass Juice
MIR. Smith was curious. After a
four hour talk he decided to back
the grass experiment.
He collaborated in further re-
search and financed patents. A
laboratory was set up. It's staff

The Army and Navy Register pre-
dicted yesterday a bold stroke" by
the United Nations in the near
future.
Commenting on the conferences
of high staff officers in London, the
service publication said editorially
There is no doubt this is the
logical time to strike at the Ger
mans as well as the Japanese. Both
are heavily engaged on many fronts
especially the latter.
AT the same time. the civil popu-
lations of all erman-dominated
countries are seething with hatred
against their oppressors. They would
aid any effort to exterminate them.
The Register said the London

forecast that immediate action is
contemplated, and on scale to pro-
duce the second front so desired

310 Strikes Reported
In April, q Gain of 70

New strikes in April totaled 80,
an increase of 10 over the March

strikes involved $1,000 workers,
10000 fewer than in March.
Strikes in progress throughout the
country last month caused 375 700
man-days of idleness, as compared
with 100000 man-days lost in March
Strike idleness in April amounted
to 0.06 per cent of available work

WASHINGTON'S VIEW
OF WESTERN FARMING

Official Washington needs lot of edu-
cation if western farmers are ever to get
the help they need, when they need it,
through governmental action.
The trouble lies in the Washington con-
ception of all farming as of the tradition
al STRENGTHENING, all-year-round farm
hand variety. Administration officials,
farm committee congressman and others
in the capital whose decisions vitality af-
feet agriculture, base their actions for
all farmers on the practices of compara-
tive few on the eastern seaboard and IN
the middlewest, which they seem to think
are universal.
1t is significant that the agricultural
committees of congress are made up al
most entirely of men from the eastern
states. and from the midwest. The west
ern farmers have little actual represen-
tation in congress- AS result, they have
been unable to unsell congress and the
administration on the idea that all farm
ing is of the one-crop-a-seaSon, One-seasn-
-a-year variety.
Western farming is as different from
that of the east as night is from day. It's
problems are different, its needs are diff
ferent-and its production is so much
greater that it staggers the imagination.
It is time the west was achieving some
recognition in official Washington.

REVISION NEEDED IN
TIRE QUOTA SETUP

Probably no other area in California
suffers so unjustly as Imperial county
from unfair inequalities in methods OF
computing tire and tube quotas for var
ious areas 1t is an injustice which has
a definite bad effect upon the nations
war economy.
The quota for this county, as for most
other areas, were set upon population
basis. This was done because the system
had to be set up in a weeks time, and II
was impossible in that short period to
obtain full statistics on the county's auto
mobile and truck registration totals.
Anyone even specifically acquainted
with Imperial county's economic stuc-
tura will realize Immediately that there
is a vast difference between a quota COM
puted on population and one which might
be computed on motor vehicle registration
here. Because of its agricultural makeup
and its comparative ISOLATION, lmperlal
county is far more mechanical than most
areas-even the metropolitan ones. We
have more automobiles per capita than
most counties in California, and so many
more trucks that the difference Is stag
gering.
We need those additional vehicles, eS-
pecially the trucks, if we are to continue
to furnish food to a nation so badly IN
u.
them. Americas food productin will be
reduced by an amunt out of all proper
ton to our population or our area IN
miles.
A quota based on registration OF motor
vehicles, such as is provided by the tire
rationing law, would satisfy this county
and iron out the inequalities which to-
day threaten our whole agricultural set
up. Rationing officials seem sympathetlc
to the predicament of our people, accord
ing to all reports, but thus far they have
been unable to correct the situation. The
only way to correct it seems to be thor
ou1h revision of code methods, allowing
time to obtain the necessary data on mo-
tor vehicle registration
Whatever must be done to repair the
unreasonable damage threatened to I'M
perial countys agricultural production
should be done-and the people of this
county, including their officials, should
make it their business to see that it is
done.
