Ashton, manager of the Delaware

mington have dropped from 13 in
1916 to 4 in 1947. Rural statistics
show that traffic deaths have

made mostly of steel, supplied by
an aggressive American industry,
never ceased to expand the effec,
tiveness of his work"
Or. DeGraff quoted figures to show
that the Russian farmer worked 60
hours before the war to grow one
acre of corn, while in this country
American farmers worked only 1t
hours and obtained double the yield
Russians, according to the article
required $50 hours to raise and har.
vest an acre of cotton. American
producers do the same in 81 hours
While the farmer in this country
labored 8 hours to raise and har
vest an acre of wheat, the Russian
farmer took AZ hours and even ther
got less wheat. Sugar beets, pota
toes, milk and poultry production
all followed the same pattern.
"The great vitality and produc
tiveness of American agriculture
has been the basis of the risins
strength of the nation and the rising
standard of living" DR. OeGraf
said. I'VE now use only one-sixtt
of the nations productive effort tc
provide for this country and still
ship 10 per cent of our farm pro
duce overseas"
Production levels IN the United
States are ever-increasing, DR.. De
Graft explained, because individu
ais have had freedom to work and
enjoy the fruits of labor. Under that
system we have built an economic
system that has stimulated produc
tion, Individually and in the mass.
"The steel industry and other
allied Industries, making possible
such machines of increasing eff
cheney, constantly reduce still far
ther the manpower needed to pro
duce food and thus release more
men to devise and produce more
ways to build higher the level OF
our civilization.
Whatever else may be behind
the Iron Curtain, we know it hides
great weaknesses. Our strength is
in plain sight. The steel coming
from the mills, the machines from
our factories and the production
from our farms make 1t possible
to get from each according to his
ability in increasing measure, the
stun of life"
