THE
REVOLUTION

The elaborate Centennial OF
Farm mechanization, held at Mich
igan State College during the Au-
gust 1920 period and attended by
$4,000 people, is over. But the
amazing revolution to which if
was dedicated continues in full
vigor.
1t is almost impossible to exag-
gerate the impact of farm mechan-
1zation on an American life. In
little more than a long lifetime,
machines made it possible for a
small part of the population to
produce an abundance of food and
fiber for all - instead of the
great majority having to work the
land from dawn to dark to pro-
duce the necessities of life. It thus
released tens of millions of people
ITO work at other tasks, and to
produce the wealth of goods and
and services which make I'D our
American living standards. It has
brought the farmer far greater re-
turn for much less arduous labor.
1t has made modern farming into
a business.

OIL PROGRESS WEEK

This year Oil Progress Week
will be observed during the Oc-
tober 9-15 period. 1t will give the
ollmen another concentrated op-
%portunity to tell the story of their
industry. And it's some story.
In this country oil is a free
enterprise. It's also one of the
most intensely competitive of en-
terprises - all the way from
risky validating operations in
search of new oil supplies to the
corner service station. We, the
American people, enjoy the fruits
Of that competition. Since 1925,
as everyone knows, the cost of
living in general has scared. Yet
the cost of gasoline, aside from
the special taxes the industry can't
do anything about, has risen only
about seven per cent - and it's
far better gasoline, that does far
more work.
The average American, believe
it or not, uses 739 gallons of oil
products a year. The average Rus
sian in a country where the
oil business is an arm of the gov
eminent and there is no compe-
.ition - uses a mere rs gallons.
Every American community mas
excellent service stations provid-
ng all manner of services in ad-
to selling its wares. But in
Moscow, one of the worlds biggest
titles, there are only five service
tatiOns. And at these the custom
r, when he buys inferior ration
d gas, does the chores himself.
Ill the attendant does is watch
he meter and collect the rubles.
Oil progress and our national
rogresS have gone hand in hand.
hat is the kernel of the story
1at will be told during the Week.

SELLING RUSSIA OUR
FARM

The question whether to sell
Russia some of the huge quanti-
ties of farm SURPRISES piled up in
the United States in recent years
has again arisen. 1t has popped
into the limelight recently be-
cause Of drought in Russia and
the resistance of farmers there.
and the failure of Russian agri-
culture to productive food needed.
This is odd, since Russia and
the countries of Eastern Europe,
mainly those along the Danube,
have additionally had an excess
of grain. One can remember that
Russia was supposed to furnish
Germany with much food and
grain in the now-famous non-ag-
gresSion pact and Russia tradi-
tionally has been thought of as a
huge grain producer.
Communism, however, is not
producing the grain needed and,
therefore, there might be a good
market for U. S. surplus supplies
in Russia. Those who object to
u. S. sales to Russia point out
that this would alleviate the short
age in Russia and partly make
good a condition brought on by the
failure of Communism itself.
Those who are in favor of the
sale of U. S. surplus goods to Rus
STA believe that Russia is able to
buy food elsewhere anyhow and
that it would be we'll for this
country to strengthen its own
economy by parting with these
huge SURPRISES. Also, they believe
that if Russia becomes dependent
upon the United States, or for
countries elsewhere, for
much of its foodstuffs, then any
emergency or war will sub
ect Russia to a blockade against
iomething on the order of that
lsed against Germany in two
world wars.
One cannot accuse the United
of trading in strategic ma
erials if this country agrees to
ell some of its food SURPRISES to
he Russians. If this strengthens
he United States economy, lowers

THE APPROACH
OF AUTUMN

Autumn begins this year at 2:4i

Autumn is a middle season, COM
ing after Summer and before
Winter, and featuring moderate
average temperatures.
Automatically, Autumn begins
with the autumnal equinox and
ends with the Winter solstice.
which comes just before Christ
mas, IN December. The sun enters
Libra at the autumnaI equinox
and enters Capricorn in Deem
Der, when Winter begins. Astro-
nomically, then, Autumn includes
most Of December.
In popular speech and habits.
many people refer to Autumn as
including the months of Septem-
Der, October and November. I'm
der this custom, December is a n
Autumn month. However. from
the astronomical viewpoint. Sep
TENDER is a Summer month and
this year only seven days of Sep
TENDER are astronomical Autumn
days.
The full moon of October LIST.
coming about seven days after the
autumnal equinox, is the Harvest
Moon this year. September usually
contains the Harvest Moon, but in
a case such as this years the Harry
vest Moon falls in October.
1t is a common notion that the
Harvest Moon is different from all
full moons during the year.

rect. At the autumnal equinox.
the earth's satellite rises for sew
eral nights in succession close to
the same hour.
Although this phenomenon is
less plainly observed in this coun-
try, it is very noticeable in coun-
tries further north. So, tales about

ers to gather their crops several

glons all commented on the Wis
ltors amazement that so few peo-
pie were at work on American
farms. They were especially sur
prIsed at the lack Of women work

main reason for this, of course, is
