Prize Wheat Can Be Grown in Platte
Valley by Guessing Right on Rain

When Leo Lindstrom of Sterling,
Colo, recently was awarded first
prize for the best wheat grown in
the U. S. in 1943 in the Philip w.
Pillsbury Company's annual con-
test, his victory climaxed the story
of how the initiative of a free
people made good farmland out of
a rolling prairie in 80 years.
1t was in 1912 that PA" Lindstrom
struck out for the west from Ere
mont, Neb., with his family, includ-
ing little Leo, then II years old.
Bringing the team of horses to stop
on high ground of the Platte river
valley near the then small town of
Sterling, "Pa" homesteaded on sew
eral acres of the open country.
Like the other settlers, the Lind
stroms built house of sod walls
and roof, seeded few acres of
wheat, and raised handful of cattle
and pigs, often feeding the animals
with fresh cuttings of grass from
the prairies.
Blessed with only scattered rain
fall, the Lindstroms and other set
tiers soon discovered that they
couldn't raise much else beside
wheat in their part of the country,
and it was only through experience
that they found way of utilizing
the light precipitation for getting
good yields.
By the time Leo got married and
started out on a 16O-acre farm in
1926, the folks on the high ground in
the Platte valley found wheat would
come up if they broke up the soil in
the spring and let it lie fallow all
summer to soak up the dash"
rainfalls which occur for 10 to Is
minutes. Then, after determining
that the soil had enough moisture,
they'd sow their seed in the fall.
Of course, a lot depended upon
guessing right, but after much ex-
perience, Leo and the other folks
nearly always judged correctly. By
wisely expanding the income gained
from wheat growing and starting
off cattle for the midwestern feed
lots, Leo and folks like him gradu-
ally increased their holdings until
today the average farm in the
vicinity runs from 500 to 1000 acres.
But because the $4,000 folks with
in a 75-mile-radius of Sterling still

Air Corps Meteorologists
Make an Ally of Weather

Weather reports for the army are
issued by the air forces. Observa-
tons are made for air and ground
operations. A worldwide weather
map is drawn at least once every
day. Usually, four maps are pre-
pared daily, since the weather won't
stay put, but has to be watched all
the time. A bowling blizzard over
Hudson Bay may in a few days shut
off bomber flights to England, and
scatter a convoy over the North At
lantic. 1t is the forecaster's job to
find out where the weather, which
is acting up" in one place, will be
tomorrow-or next week.
Never before has weather been so
thoroughly used as weapon, says
the National Geographic society.
Some bomber flights are timed to be
hidden by cloud banks. Blitzkriegs
are planned to start when skies are
fair and ground is dry. Planes are
flown across oceans on routes where
tail winds will give the planes the
biggest boost.

The Rambling Rhymster
BY LES PLETTNER
Into the Sunrise

Into the Sunrise
No matter what the day before
Has brought of bruises raw and sore,
They walk in morning as of yore
Into the flashing sunrise.
No matter what their trials have
been
Amid the battles roar and din,
They take heart to begin again
In morning with the sunrise.
Back to the smoke of fact'ries high,
That clouds the clear gold morning
sky
To have at life another try,
In light of fresh new sunrise.
But to the toll upon the farm
In early day, without alarm
Drawn by the new days lure and
charm ..
Illumined by the sunrise.
Back to the office and the mart
To make again a sturdy start
To gin the day with hope in heart {.
With joy lit by the sunrise
To face the world with courage fine,
Exhilarated by the wine
Poured into veins by bright sunshine
That comes with morning sunrise.

New Type of Window
Will Conserve Fuel

Postwar living presumably does
not encompass continued fuel ra-
tioning for the average home owner,
but so per cent reduction in heat
losses-and consequently in use of
that commodity-now looms as a
possibility because of an "air-condi-
toned glass sandwich"
Described as the ''most revolu-

dowpane construction in more than
500 years." a new type of built

called thermopane and introduced
here may prove the basis for revolu-

lating properties of the thermopane
window, announced by Libbey-

for civilian use to achieve impor-

not only are heat losses greatly re-

years experimentation, were DEM
onstratcd at the initial public show
ing of the glass in cold test cabi-
net, equipped with two windows,
one of which was glazed with
single pane of glass, the other with
a light of thermopane. Delicate in
struments which gave inside and
outside temperatures were attached
to both types of windows, and the
temperature inside the cabinet was
reduced to near zero.
Readings on the thermopane wir-
dow indicated 2O-degree difference
in temperature between the warm
and cold side of the glass. but only
one degree difference on the single
pane.
Translated into terms for the
home owner, DR.. Watkins explained
that this means that more interior
heat would be flowing outdoors
through the single window pane,
since heat flows from warm to a
cold body, unless there is an in

TWo-Price System?

The farm organizations say two
price system will solve that prob
lem. Keep prices at home up to
parity, find new uses for farm
products, and sell what is left
abroad at whatever we can get for
it. But here the doctors differ Some
would have the government take the
loss, when produce is exported at a
loss. The Grange suggests that the
farmer take the loss on products
sold abroad at less than cost. That
would be the check against raising
too much. Such scheme might be
worth trying in one or two export
able commodities.
However, even this device might
not bring about sufficient control of
production to maintain parity, for
many farmers have a tendency to
plant more acres to increase in
come, as soon as price declines
and thereby cut their own threats
by creating an unmarketable sur
plus. The many small and poorly f.
nanced farmers, who are hard to
control, also create a market prob
lem for the better financed farmers
as soon as prices begin to drop.
In relation to commodities like
wheat, which in the 1905 developed
unmanageable world SURPRISES,
international production control
may be necessary, although ex-
tremely difficult to bring about.
OF course, the best way to pre-
serve profitable market for farm
products is to preserve the purchas-
ing power of the great masses of
people who are not farmers. Farm
ers should never forget that they are
a declining proportion of the popu-
lation. Only 80 years ago farmers
constituted more than one-third of
the population. Today they are
scarcely more than one-fifth.
AS efficiency of agriculture in
creases, the proportion of farmers
to the total population will continue
to decline. Elimination of several
million sub-marginal farms may &C.
CELEBRATE this.
When we can agree upon a fair
distribution of national income, and
set up economic controls that will
bring about an approximately Just
distribution, then for the first time
we shall begin fully to enjoy the
advantages which modern science
and engineering make possible for
all people. Until then we shall have
wars and political upheavals.

tribution of national income so that
all can prosper, if we wish to pros
per ourselves. This is not the Gold
en- Rule, but a hard-headed, prac-
teal concept of our modern
economy.
Let us test this against the con-
cept of parity prices which has be-
come a symbol of justice to the
farmer. Parity prices are attained
when a given amount of farm
produce-say bushel of corn-will
bring to the farmer enough money
to buy the same things that
bushel of corn would enable him to
buy in the five-year period 1909-1914.
Parity price does not guarantee
good crop or good demand for
the crop. 1t merely guarantees the
purchasing power of the farmers
dollar.
When the war ends and millions
of war workers lose their jobs max
ing planes, tanks, guns and ships
and millions of servicemen begin to
seek new jobs-mass purchasing
power will depend upon how much
employment there is. In all proba-
bility not only will industrial work.
ers have less to spend when war
savings are exhausted, but many
who live in small towns and SUBJ
urbs will begin to raise chickens,
fruit and vegetables for themselves.
At the very best, it will be diff
cult to maintain as large a market
for agricultural products as we now
have, unless important new uses for
them are developed, and world
trade is expanded greatly. 1t will
also be difficult to maintain parity
prices, for there are no commodi-
ties so sensitive to declining
purchasing power.
Even in the immediate future, it
looks as though farming would be
somewhat less profitable, for prices
of nearly everything the farmer
buys are rising And if price con-
trolls are weakened, most of the
things the farmer buys will cost a
lot more.
There is a feeling abroad that
with permanent prosperity just
around the corner, all production
quotas on farm products should be
left off after the war - mans
nature to produce should not be in
hibited by artificial restraints. But
if all quotas were abolished and the
government were to make COM
modify loans to protect parity prices
on everything the farmer wished to
raise, he would very quickly raise
a good deal more than he could
sell in this country.
