lished, most northerly agricultural
experiment station Muddusniemi.
1t was then that we found out
automobiles are not always the best
Transportation in northern Finland.
For the experimental station was
some miles distant only half of
which we could drive by car. The
last two miles we had to go by row
boat down a narrow, marshy lake.
For the experimental station is on
a small island surrounded by shall
low lakes.
The experimental station is a
farm owned by DR.. Into Aikkinen,
operated in cooperation with the
University of Helsinki. It's chief
purpose here will be to find new
varieties of crops suited to the far
north and better methods of farm
ing for the northern farmers. For
today, with most of the possible
farmland already under the pillow
in the south, Finland, with little
more than one acre of cultivated
land per person, must look to the
north for its new farmland. Over
a fourth of the 700-mile length of
Finland lies above the Arctic circle.
Here, today, the farms are few.
Less than one-half percent of the
land is cleared for farming. Most
of the small farms have less than
eight acres of cropland and gener-
ally not more than 200 acres of for
estland. In some areas, it is these
small farmers who are the strong
hold of Finland's dwindling Com
munist party.
Summers Cool. Short
In this northland the winters
come early and stay late. Even
though it was only the middle of
August, we saw many patches of
wilted potato vines, their tops al
ready hit by an early frost. The
summers are cool and short, with an
average of IS to 100 growing days,
sometimes even less.
For over 40 days during the sum-
mer, the sun wheels around the
horizon in continuous daylight The
crops grow day and night
Hay and potatoes must be the
main crops. Barley generally al

Businessmen, Taxpayers Are
Figuring What Latest British
Financial Crisis Will Cost
Britain Hopes To
Buy Less From
Dollar Area And More
I'm World Market
BY SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK R-American bust
nesSmen and taxpayers are getting
a first look at what the latest Brit
ish financial crisis is likely r. cost
them.
A number Of American indus
tries will lose a stable part of
their business in countries the Ster-
ling bloc controls. Even more
American industries are going to
find an increased volume of Brit
ish and Commonwealth goods COM
peting in world markets with
American goods.
American money is being sent
to the aid of the British-S0me
300 million dollars in the form Of
a grant; q million dollars to buv
British rubber for the u S. stock
pile; 81 million dollars to buy Brit
iSh tin for American consumers.
More millions may be spent later
for Australian wool and British
controlled aluminium
And American steel mills are
to find one million tons of steel

into arms and durable civilian
goods for the British 10 sell in
the world market.
The first stories of these deals
10 bolster an important American
ally which is admittedly in finan-
cial straits-are coming out of Lon
don and Washington. More are TO
follow quickly from the British
Commonwealth nations.
South Africa is expected to cut
off a large part of its market from
American goods soon. Last year
it imported $50 million dollars
worth of American goods and sold
us only SO million dollars worth.
England itself will import seven
million dollars less of American
coal this year than last. In 1850
Britain paid las million for Amer
lean tobacco. That is to be
trimmed substantially this year.
American manufacturers Of
clothing, furniture, carpets. shoes
and toys are on notice that Britain
will import fewer of them this
year. It's going to buy fewer for
eign meats, fish, fruit and vegc-
tables.
American manufacturers of cars
refrigerators, radio and TV sets,
and other metal consumer goods
are on notice that Britain this year
will export a larger percentage of
its output of these items into the
world markets in search of gold
and dollars.
,-- The deals between London..and
Washington-perhaps worked out
during Prime Minister Churchill's
visit to President Truman-will
help some in tiding Britain over.
Her gold and dollar reserves
dropped 1t2 billion dollars in the
last six months of 1850 to stand
now at $2.355 .0O0, 900.
But Britain puts most faith in
getting out of the mess by buying
less from the dollar area, and sell
ing more in world markets. Amer
lean businessmen will have to re-
wise their foreign trade schedules.
