The fragmented OCR reads like a murky reminiscence of past events and figures. It mentions Japan, an emperor, navy, and nostalgia for a bygone era, with scattered names and vague dates suggesting a historical reflection rather than a clear report.
A long profile traces the career of a photographer and war correspondent named Holmes. From first professional lecture in Japan in 1883 to using motion picture cameras by 1897, his work spans color and black and white film plus slides. He survived sharpshooter incidents, fronts in World War I, and a 1913 Aguinaldo encounter, yet avoided firearms. A 1911 Finland crash broke his left leg. his wife endured accompanying voyages. The piece also digresses into agricultural studies on cottonseed meal and hog nutrition by Professor Sewell, noting increased permissible levels and effects on poultry eggs.
Soviet paratroopers and crews face a comical mishap as a tank unit drives to Fort Knox and a Negro garage attendant with a gun intervenes. The report mixes war notes with a bakery criticism and mentions Secretary Wickard. The piece blends obliquely with Pro Black and White themes in the era.
W E Sewell of the Alabama Experiment Station reports a method to render cottonseed meal nonpoisonous for hogs and chickens. By boiling a thick soup of meal and water for 15 to 20 minutes the feed becomes safe, enabling use with corn in wet or dry form. Research shows high free gossypol levels in meal before processing cause death in rats and chicks. proper moisture and heat treatment reduces risk.
