AS he cruised the county roads

saw the man climbing fence on
a farm on the Plain
City road, north of Plumwood.
He called to Mathew, who came

Rice Bowl"
important In
Korean Fight

Present fighting in Korea might
we'll be termed the battle for the
rice bowl, the Agricultural Ex-
tension Service of Ohio State Uni
versity, said this week, as the
North Korean army moved SOUTH
ward.
Information received from the
Office of Foreign Agricultural Re-
lations of the u. S. Department
of Agriculture indicated the major
part of Korean agricultural pro-
ductivity is in South Korea. This
area produces rice and other
grains.
Korea always has been an agri-
cultural country, with about three
fourths of all Koreans engaged in
farming and agricultural pro-
duction representing about three
fourths of the value of all pro-
duction.
Since World War II, farming in
South Korea has become more diff
ffcult, as the chemical fertilizer
supply from the north was no
longer available. Most of the fer
tilizer imports have been from the
United States.
Rice is Korea's most important
crop, and about 70 percent of the
total crop is produced in South
Korea. At present, the summer
grain harvest has been completed
and the rice crop transplanted.
Despite the Importance of agri-
culture in Korean economy, the
USDA report said little of the land
is cultivated. Only about on
fifth of the total area IS farm
land, the remainder being flour-
tains. Farms usually are no more
than 3 acres per family. Farm
implements are crude and live
stock is scarce.
About 70 percent of Korea's rice
lands are under controlled irriga-
ton. About one-third of the irri-
gated area normally is double
cropped, producing rice in sum-
mer and fall, and barley, wheat or
rye in winter and spring. Re-
naming area is planted to soy
beans, vegetables, fruits, fibers
and tobacco.

When the brakeman on a

what appeared to be dense
smoke. Frantically he signalled for
the engineer to stop. get the Lon

disaster was at hand.
The department arrived, a
thorough investigation was made,

Further search by train officials

with dry ice which sent up the
swirling, heavy vapor. Where
there was SO much smoke
thought the brakeman, surely
there was fire, hence the hasty
summons for help.
