Odd Facts
About Tobacco

If one man harvested, cured,
and sold North Cardinals 821,00O
acres of flue-cured and hurley
tobacco which will be produced
this year he would be employed
for more than ten THOUSAND years.
This may sound like a startling
figure, but according to H. Brooks
James in charge of Extension
Farm Management at State Col
lege, it is estimated that the labor
required for harvesting and SELL
ing the crop amounts to over Il
million hours. Figured at 40 cents
an hour, this labor would be val
ued at approximately tight and
one-half dollars, he said.
eyes, dad. mother, and all the
children will be busy for while
he said. "since the major portion
of the labor will be provided by
FARMERS and their families, and
more than half of the labor is
required for barning and curing
which must be done within few
weeks time" Grading and sell
ing may be spread over a longer
period, he added, but this still
means plenty of hard work.

 On August 22, l946, public Ian. orders withdrew 750 square miIa\ for a native reservation for tbs inhabitants of Barrow and l2 3Oo aces for the use of the nat veS 2. KlukWan by authority of a Con. gressional Act of 1886 al.oNno such withdrawals and proy.u.D, for approval by vote of .aaJoAlv of the Indian or Eskimo res4ueDS concerned.
 As the result of the hearing held at Fairbanks October 10, Mir. Su. verman in his accepted report to the Secretary stated his belief tha, there was little of economic, value" in the 750 square miles proposed to be set aside for a res. ervation at Barrow with the ex. ception of the shore line for the hunting of WalruS, seal, bears and whales. He stated that "the limits of the proposed reservation were arrived at without consultation with the natives of Barrow" In order to insure regulation in the trading and traffic in liquor by appropriate ordinance of the BaS' row village council, to Saleguad the economically valuable shore. line and to provide for exclusive use of the native coal supply in the vicinity of the Inaru River, MT. Silverman urged that the Office of Indian Affairs meet immediately with the residents of Barrow "O determine the boundaries to be withdrawn from the public do- main." To prevent future large < hunting and trapping parties to the possible detriment of native livelihood in the 30,00O square mile area beyond the original pro- posed withdrawal, MT. Silverman recommended that the Alaska Game Commission give conSidera- tion to the establishment of game reserve from the Arctic Ocean to the foothills of the Brooks Range with exclusive tra ping and hunting rights reserved for the natives of the Arctic re- zion. As an alternative, MT Sil- verman recommended considera- ton and issuance of regulations under which any substantial in- reference by nonresident white persons with native hunting and trapping rights in the 30,000 square mile area may effectively be prevented"
 Hearings held at KlukWan on October Is on the proposed reser- vation there amounting to l2,800 acres revealed that this area is not the source of game, fish, tim Der and berries for the natives and that nothing of economic value would accrue to the Kluk- wan Indians by creation of the reservation. MT.

 The Denver council of tho organization, with inn preSsve list of SDonSors is making it's earnest contrbu- ton toward reawakening a sense of common purpose which it feels guided the United States and Russia to their mutual victory FaScsm Like the national council the Denver group has not allowed itself to be- disturbed by the confusion which exists in many minds concerning that common purpose.
 (Many misguided persons, for instance feel that a hatred of Hitler does not necessarily imply espousa of Communist totalitarianism Friends of Russia regard this distinction serious threat to international peace)
 In mmeographed circular entitled "Truth Is Our Business, the council promises to tell the TRUTH about the Soviet UnOn and to disseminate factua infOr nation about that neVer-o-be-orgotten wartime ally.

Navy Tug Boat
 Races To Aid Of Schooner WawOna

SEATTLE, (P) - A powerful navy tug boat from Dutch Harbor was speeding yesterday to aid the 486 ton Seattle codfish schooner Wawona, buffeted by gales and low on supplies after II days of unsuccessfully trying to sail from the Boring Sea through Unimak Pass.
 The 18th naval district here said the l56-foot, three-masted schoon- CT asked for help Monday. The Alaska Sea Frontier commander in Kodiak ordered the tug Alta 1916 to proceed to the scene.
 The WaWona, owned by the Robinson fisheries of Anacortes, has no auxiliary engines but pre- viously had completed several trips into sub-Arctic waters.
 The weather bureau said heavy storms have swept alternately from north to south for more than a week in the area of the Pass, at the tip of the Alaska peninsula.
 They said, however, that storm conditions are expected to let up slowly, minimizing any risk to the stalled schooner.
 SEATTLE (P)-The coast guard reported today that navy tug has lowed the storm-buffeteo Seattle codfish schooner Wawona through Unimak Pass from Boring Sea after the three-masted sailing vessel tried vainly for II days tC make the passage itself against opposing high winds.
 The tug has returned to Dutch Harbor.
 The tugs arrival at the scene was delayed, after it was under way, by an emergency call from the U. S. Coast Guard station al Scotch Cap, where an enlisted man was shot in the leg. A small boat from the tug went through the dangerous surf to pick him up and the tug returned him to Dutch Harbor for treatment.

Mrs. Roosevelt
 Stirs Up Hornets Nest Over Farley

NEW YORK, (P)- Mrs. Flea nor Roosevelt, commenting on re- cent magazine articles by James A. Farley in which he expressed his doubts of his social standing at the White House, says that "lt never occurred to me that MT. and Mrs. Farley felt themselves in any group different from that which we were in"
 A series entitled Why I broke with Roosevelt" a condensation of a book which the former post master general will publish in Feb ruary, recently appeared in Col Hers magazine.
 Mrs. Roosevelt, writing in her question and answer column in the Ladies Home Journal, says that "I am deeply grieved to find that MT. Farley was not the per son I thought him; or perhaps it would be better to say that l am grieved to find that MT. Farley has allowed himself to be made the kind of personality that MT. Trohan, of the Chicago Tribune would inevitably make him."
 CWhile the widow of the four term president did not further identify Trohan, she apparently referred to Walter Trohan of the Washington staff of the Chicago Tribune)
 Trohan, in Washington, said that ''Mrs. Roosevelt should have wait ed, I think, until she could read the whole book. .. am not mak- ing anybody any kind of person. At Farley's order I am trying to gather his material together. He has okayed every word of the book which comes from the words he dictated at the moment.

Corn Belt Needs
 Much More Rain
By The Associated Press)

Farmers in the nations main corn belt hoped for more rain within the next week as prec ipita- tion brought some measure of re- lief in most sections as cool air moved into the midwest and broke summers longest heat wave. | Although the rains which swept across the corn belt checked at 1 last temporarily l5-million bush el a day loss which corn has suf- fered during the protracted hot spell, weather bureau officials said soaking rains were needed to re- 1 tain Mondays benefits. No gener- al rainfall for the region was pre- dicted immediately.
 As rain fell from Indiana to Nebraska, corn futures prices on the Chicago board of trade plung- ed eight cents, the maximum per mitted in one days trading, while cash prices dropped several cents.
 Heaviest precipitation in the corn belt was in Iowa and eastern l Nebraska, while there were scat tered showers in Indiana, Mime sota. South Dakota and Illinois Rain also fell in parts of the north west and southwest grain fields. Leslie M. Carl, director of the Iowa federal crop reporting serv- ice, said the rains and cooler wea. ther would help check deteriora. ton of the corn crop. He added however, the favorable weather was too late to improve yield out. looks any above the 39 bushels tc the acre average reported Aug. IS as compared with a yield of 60 bushels last year.
 Near normal weather, with sea- sonable temperatures, prevailed over most of the country today.
 The cool air which broke the midwest's protracted heat wave Monday, pushed into the North Atlantic states yesterday, ending three days of hot weather.
 Thunderstorms preceded the mass of cool air into the eastern states. An electrical rain and hail storm struck New York City and score of persons were injured Easements were flooded, tele- phone service interrupted and sub- way service disrupted The fail measured 344 inches and temper 1 atures dropped from a record 91 for the date to 67 in less than two ! hours.
 About 20 persons were injured in a rush by passengers to flee two street cars which were struck by lightning. A dozen bolts struck the Empire State building, but there was no damage.
 Federal forecaSterS in Chicago said there was no indication of an | immediate return of excessive heat to the midwest or eastern states. They said, however, readings in the 90's were expected in the south from the Carolinas into the Gulf states and into Texas.
