Manpower muddle drives draft policy conflict
Washington reports a tangle of explanations from government bureaus over the draft and labor policies. McNutt opposes a broad industrial draft, Roosevelt leans to it, while Ayres argues the manpower crisis is largely verbal and already easing. The system remains indecisive with little public excitement. Hull calls for an international cooperative framework rather than a league.

Findings include sweet potato meal as a steer feed comparable to corn, sagebrush mowing boosting pasture gains, hog weight gain turning less efficient after 273 pounds, limited hay use in hog rations, legume hay efficacy, grain sorghums matching corn value for hens, calves reared with less milk, legume hay and silage driving cow production on single grain, insecticide substitutes for major pests, and 35 new crop varieties released by breeders.

Ground Hog Hoofs as Protein Feed Supplement
Ground hogs hoofs from packing plants show potential as a protein feed supplement when finely ground and mixed with other feeds. University of Washington researchers Gordon Newell and C A Elvehjem note hoof powder cannot replace all protein and must be used in large amounts, about 30 percent, to improve chick rations. It pairs with soybean meal, though both are incomplete proteins. histidine methionine and tryptophane are lacking, improved by supplementation. processing methods need standardization, and getting powdered hoof to market is hindered by labor and equipment shortages.
