WHILE engaged in swapping
sugar and coffee coupons w ith
cur grocer, he called our atten
tion to a new food product which
recently was placed upon his
counters. Resembling bird shot
packed in a cardboard box with
cellophane window, the stuff,
when soaked in water, would turn
out to he full bodied kernels of
sweet corn, the grocer assured us.
The corn, stripped from the cob,
had been subject to a treatment
which removed all moisture from
it, we were told. We could have
added the information that one
ol the most effective methods of
dehydration Is to expose the food
to superheated live steam. We
have not yet tried tills weazened
corn, but we Intend to do so,
having had some experience with
applesauce and soup pellets,
which were found very appetiz
ing. '
Dehydration of foods Is one of
the inventions of necessity grow
ing out of the war. Although the
processes have been in use for a
considerable period of lime, there
lias previously been no need for
this method of preparation and
packaging. Cans were plentiful
for the ordinary canning pieced
. lire, while there was no shortage
uf space for transportation.
Now, the task of providing food
for millions of people in all parts
of the world, coupled with Hi;1
nearcitv of cargo space, has re
sulted In the perfection of I In- j
science of dehydration to a degree i
.which, until recently, would have I
been believed impossible.
Our fighting men carry with!
them in a small can sufficient de- j
hydrated rations to supply theni
w ith meals for several days. A I
wafer, soaked in water for a few
hours, will become a T-bone steak, i
It recently was announced that a
., . , , ,. . , I
method has been discovered to
supply our armco lories "no
their
favorite dish of ham and
eggs in dehydrated form.
The post war period will
find I
many changes in our foods and
diet. Necessity, as the mother of
invention, has become prolific.
The sludies being made of the
science of concentrating food, the
research into the effects of vita
mills, the achievements in bal
ancing diets all will operate to
produce a greater variety of In
expensive foods and assurance
for better health in the future.
Despite these great possibilities
for food preparation and distri
but ion, and the discoveries con
necled with vitamins and bal
nnccd diets, wc still doubt 1 hat we
will ever develop the will powc,
lo keep from eating loo much.

Concerning the
NORTHWEST
As Viewed at the
National Capital
By
John W. Kelly
WASHINGTON', D. C. Jan. 16.
Harold lckes, secretary of the
Interior, has invited congression
al members of the northwest to
meet with him for the purpose of
discussing a site for an electro
chemical development laboratory.
The idea, and the appropriation
for the laboratory, were sponsor
ed by legislators from Oregon and
Washington and it is hoped the
laboratory will be located some
where within those states. How
ever, other states aro pulling for
it.
The plan now discussed for the
laboratory requires five or ten
acres, with buildings distributed
as on a college campus. It is es
timated that there will be a pay
roll of about 300 persons. With
government power from Grand
Coulee and Bonneville and a
world of raw materials (copper,
zinc, etc. I it is hoped that the
laboratory may ascertain ways to
use these ores and make them
available commercially. The
original idea was to have the fed
eral government learn what could
be done in the way of developing
the clays and ores of the north
west. Oregon agricultural college of
fered a site on the campus, but
this was not accepted as it is ex
pected the electro-development
laboratory will eventually be
quite an institution of itself.
Hull's Costly Mistake
Publication by the state depart
ment of the "While Paper" dis
closes that while Ambassador
Grew, then in Japan, was warn
ing Secretary of Slate Cordell
Hull of the prospective war, little
attention was being paid to his
warnings. During that period
Senator MeN'ary and the then
Senator Lewis Schwallenbach of
Washington were begging Hull to
prevent the shipment of scrap
iron and gasoline to Japan. Thou
sands of tons of scrap steel were
sold by junk dealers of Seattle
and Portland which Japanese
freighters loaded and carried
away for stockpiles in Japan.
Longshoremen's unions on the
west coast added their protest
and it was generally asserted that
America was selling scr,ap to
Japan which later would be re
turned as shrapnel. To the sen
ators protesting .Secretary Hull
explained the "good neighbor"
policy: hui on his desk were re
peated alarming reports, contain
ing a prediction of the sneak at
tack upon Pearl harbor.
The White Paper makes the
lack of preparation and precau
tion at Pearl harbor more difficult
to understand. The paper shows
I hat the administration had full
knowledge of what was brew ing
and what to expect but was
caught asleep on the morning of
December 7, 19-11.
Trade Pact In Offing
Conversations have been held,
but not yet reduced to writing,
for an agreement between the
I niled States and Canada. The
program is to place the products
of this country (the Pacific north
west i and Canada (British Co
lumbia i on the same level, and
ihe agreement is said to include
exchange which would bring the
American dollar down to the
Canadian level. The general
policy is said lo have been agreed
to by the president and the Cana
dian premier during visits of Ihe
latter to the white house. When
this matter comes up, sometime
before June, a wave of objection
is anticipated from the northwest,
which finds British Columbia a
competitor in so many commodi
ties ranging from wheat and
apples to lumber.
To Study Forestry Phase
One of the first bills Introduced
in the senate this session directs
the secretary of agriculture to
study the effects of tax laws,
methods and practices upon for
est perpetuation in cooperation
with states. The secretary is di
rected to devise lax laws design
ed to encourage conservation of
glowing timber and study moth
ods of insuring standing timber
from losses by fire, etc. A sub
stantial appropriation is proposed
annually to carry on the work.
Welding Iron Scarce
Welding iron, essential in re
pairing tarm machinery, cannot
he found in the bands of any deal
er in Ihe northwest nor in San
Francisco. A grange official has
taken up the subject and says
that if the secretary of agricul
ture expects to feed the world he
had better give a little more at
tention to the needs of Ameri
can producers. There is a possibil
ity that WPB will supply farmers
with repair parts and with weld
ing rods.

tlolman Urges
Use of Plywood

- Senator Ilolman (R-Orc) has
urged the lumber and lumber pro

possible.
He told ihe division that such
construction could be substituted
for steel in building huts for Un

abroad.
Arthur Upson, director of the
division, replied that plywood pro
duced from Douglas' fir would he
available for the army and navy
and that a new grade termed
"hutment," has been developed by
the industry for the purpose.
' Lumber and lumber prodi.icls
are Just as critical or even more
so than steel," Upson wrote Ihe
senator, "but inasmuch ns this is
a program to house our fighting
forces, it is felt plywood should
be provided to meet this need." i
Ilolman told the division that
material from which plywood can
be produced is plentiful in the
Pacific northwest.
"The question of getting an
adequate supply of logs is mere
ly that of priority on materials
and equipment needed to obtain
logs, and the labor market Is con
sidered in connection with ceiling
prices anil wages," Holman wrote
Ihe WPH.
"Whenever the government de
sires a more plentiful supply of
logs from which plywood is manu
factured, all it has to do is to ad
Just the matters which have been
brought lo Ihe attention of of
ficials time after time during the
long monlhs.
"From this angle, the materials
used in making plywood are not
as scarce as steel because steel re- j
quires expensive equipment to
increase production whereas all
we need is the logging equipment
and materials to maintain and re
pair existing plants."
