Those of you who take the Farm

and enjoyed the editorials written
by the magazine editor, Wheeler

AS we listened to him talk the

tion banquet, and felt the power
and conviction behind his words,
we could better understand how
he writes those fine editorials.
was very curious to know just
what he, q Well-knOwn writer and
editor of national prominence,
would have to say to us, COM
paratively small group of farmers.
When he began his talk, it was
evident that his purpose was not
just to entertain, but rather to get
we farm people to thinking, and
believe me, there certainly was
food for thought in his talk.
He said that one thing that must
60 on continually is research, there
is so much work for scientists to
do to discover new products to be
derived from certain plants, max
ing it profitable for farmers to
raise these plants, thus helping to
eliminate the surplus in some other
crops-wheat, for example. He
said the researchers must con-
stantly strive to find better seeds,
get more information as to the
character of soil, or what the
weather is going to be 3 or 4
months from now. He told us that
when farmers started using rubber
tires on farm implements, (the re-
suit of research in RUBBER and
when they started planting hybrid
seed corn (the result of research)
these products made more money
for farmers than any legislative
act put out by the government
could possibly have done.

What was your reaction on hear
ing the news that all the Chinese
people on the Tachen Islands were
being evacuated? At the time i
was being carried out, | suppose
we all had the feeling of setting
on a powder keg, so to speak
wondering whether the Chinese
Reds were going to do anything
about it. A lot of people had
pretty strong ideas about the ad-
visibility of this undertaking
we're not all military strategists,
and so can't understand so well
the importance of not having to
defend these islands. / suppose it
would be better if we could hear
more about it from the military
point of view, but as it is, our
normal human emotions are bound
to color our ideas on taking these
people from their homes.
1t must have been hard indeed,
for some of these people to leave
their homes, especially the older
folks, but again, maybe the ma
jority of the inhabitants were glad
to have the chance to be free and
not under Red domination. How
ever, when you see pictures of
mothers with little babies on their
backs, children, and old folks
crowded together on these evacua-
ton boats with no belongings with
them to speak of, they must surely
wonder what they're going to do
to get along. Toquote one excerpt
from the account of the evacua-
tion-''to speed evacuation, u. S.
demolition teams had to destroy
objects like old carts and broken
furniture which thrifty Chinese
wanted to bring along" | have an
idea that it wasn't thrift as much
as 1t was sentiment that made them
want to cling to their belongings,
it must have been hard to see
these things smashed. However,
! suppose that would go quicker
than for the men to try to con-
vince them that they just couldn't
take the things with them. The
Nationalist garrison of soldiers on
the island were also bitter about
leaving, they had used them as
base for effective raids on the
mainland coast in armed wooden
junks.
However, I'm sure that under
the circumstances it was the only
thing that could be done, but our
reputation in foreign countries, es-
pecially those in Asiay probably
wasn't helped by the incident. l
heard a speaker not long ago who
had been in foreign lands quite a
bit, say that lot of those people
