On The Farm Front We're Far Ahead

On The Farm Front We're Far Ahead
 (By Palmer Hoyt)
 WHILE MUCH IS SAID about the possibility of third World War and about the "cold war; being fought, there is another front-the seldom mentioned battle of the steel blow
 Terrell DeGraff professor of agricultural economics at Cornell University fully describes this struggle in Steelways, publication of the American Iron and Steel Institute: =.
 "Russias challenge is not to shooting war-not yet. at least. It cannot become unless and until she wins the of steel blows and the general productive eff ciency which they symbolize That is a in which far ahead We can lose only by forgetting how got there."
 Professor DeGra has pointed out that before the last war, American farmer produced as much as six Russians that while the cultivated of the Soviet Union and the United States were roughly the same, output was 50 per cent larger than theirs This, while Russia has population one-third greater than that of the United States:
 His figures were taken from prewar era for the Sov- jets not releasing figures on agricultural or other production They showed that the United States would have to go back to shortly before the Civil War in this country to find the time when the American farmers productivity as low the Russian farm CTS output in 1938 For example, Russian farmers har- vest of wheat after forty-seven hours work, while American farmers take but nine hours and get a greater yield.
 Since wars end it is impossible to know how the Rus sans faring the battle of production But despite their iron curtain it is impossible ignore the vital inn portance of agricultural production to the Soviet gov ernment. And there is doubt that they fighting the battle of the blow with every at their dis posal This year they have fought it well-Russia has had bumper grain crop. That crop will be used as necessary to bolster Soviet policies in eastern Europe and by it's very existence to sway political thinking in western Europe
 Yet is impossible to agree with Professor DeGraff that the of the blow is the determining factor in world peace No should underestimate its import ance, but neither forget that Hitler did not hes tate to restrict the German food supply when he war; and that the Russians have hesated to ration their own people, before during and after the war
 Admitting the importance of the agricultural war; it would stlbe foolish to believe that the possibility of hinges only ths and that the United States is far in the lead Were Americans to Hull themselves into such feeling of security they would be asking only trouble

Communication

terested in human values:
 Sunday afternoon, December 2, l947, we dedicated our new Home for children at Unalakleet, Alaska. The dedicatory service began in the crowded Mission Church and concluded, at the new home, in these words and benediction: For shelter for the homeless and sane tuary for those who may have no father or mother-For their care and remington their instrustion in the ways of righteousness, God Illness and a useful life-for their nurture in the Christian faith and knowledge of Christ unto saliva ton, to the glory and honor of God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, we dedicate this home"
 Ralph P. Hanson, former Alaska missionary, and then also known as Speed Hanson"-wanting to travel fast on land, sea and air, , did the official part of the dedica- ton. MT. Hanson is now the Cov- enant secretary of "Christian> missions, with headquarters at Chicago, and was returning from three-month itinerary of the far flung Covenant missions in China. ! Others officially sharing in the dedication were Sky-Pilot-in the best sense-Roald Amundsen, chairman of our Alaska Mission ] Council. Miss Arlene. Anderson, MT. and Mrs. Londberg, splendid people, entrusted with the respon- abilities of the new home. Mrs. Londberg is also a trained nurse and fine musician.
 i But special and lasting honor goes to MT. and Mrs. John Dahl strom, and others sharing in the erection of this home. MT. Dahl strom, a successful contractor builder in the States, believer in practical Christianity, came up to | Alaska, assuming the responsibil- ity for the construction of the home. The mayor of Unalakleet - was absent from the community, so his number on the program could not be filled.
 1 The building, 40 50 feet, sur mounts concrete basement, hous- ing well, cistern, laundry, steam furnace, warm storage for food and utility space. The first floor gives space for assembly room, class rooms, and apartments for staff. The second floor has a num- Der of rooms for boys and girls The large attic, well insulated, gives storage space, and can read lily be arranged into rooms. It is not our intention to place the chil- dren on the fence, neither native nor white, but to bring them up as sound native citizens and Chris tians, always having background and future in view.
 How solidly and well the build ing is constructed is shown by the fact, that, until the furnace can be installed, the whole building is warmed with 5 gallon barrel home made "Sourdough" heater. The building is sanitary through out. Electrically lighted.
 I The people of the Second Divi- sion, and of Alaska as a whole, can be thankfully proud of this unique home for needy children in the Second Division.

| BAY OF WHALES, Antarctica,
Jan. 22.-Antarctica is a. continent
in the sky.
Apparently the average elevation
of thIsh great mass of icebound land
is nearly that of the peaks of the
Rocky Mountains. The million
square miles of the unknown interior
of Wilkes Land can be pictured as
rolling plateau some $500 feet
above sea level and rising gently
to 2 miles nigh at the South Pole.
This is the deduction drawn from
the first flights beyond the high
barrier of ice cliffs which form the
Shorthand of the continent.
The land over which the planes
flew was swathed in low white
mist which hid most of the sur
face features, but minute -to-min-
ute observations were taken with
an electronic eye, new type altimeter
which detects accurately differences
of 10 feet or less in elevation of
surface below by means of echoed
radio waves.
These observations showed no
mountains within $50 miles of the
sea. This may be interpreted as
indicating fairly level terrain from
the sea to the South Pole
The two planes making the sur
vey few about $500 feet above the
surface. Even at this altitude they
encountered a constant temperature
of Is below zero, although surface
temperature could have been only
little below freezing in the Antarc-
tic midsummer.
Previous deductions that the con-
tinent is more than a mile high
were based on elevations near the
coast, a fight to the South Pole and
a few flights into the interior in
other sections. The latest flights of
this expedition over Wilkes Land
provide strong confirmation and in
dicate perhaps an even greater al
titude.
There now appears to be little
reason 10 expect large depressed
areas which would reduce the aver
age elevation.
The flights into Wilkes Land were
over the Adele Coast roughly
around the 140th meridian of east
longitude and passed about 200 miles
west of the location of the South
Magnetic Pole as calculated six years
ago.
While the observations are not
considered highly reliable, they in
dicate that, contrary to expectations,
the center of the South Magnetic
Pole has remained fairly constant
while the area or the North Mag
netic Pole has shifted.
However, this is difficult to deter
mine because of local magnetic in
fuences and the fact that now it is
generally recognized the Pole"
probably covers an area of about
1000 square miles.
