Ships Are Important To Farms

How important is ocean shipping this predomnantly
agricultural section and to aN segments of the U. s.?
The answer you will find Ms much more important than
generally realized few aets clearly demonstrate
During the 1945-53 period what has been called the
greatest movement foodstus of all tines occurred One
third of this counrys huge wheat production crossed the
ocean highways bound for Europe Japan India and Pakstan
That meant hundreds of millions dollars to American agr
culture it flowed through the entire economic system
stimulating business and employment everywhere.
survey has been made OF the exports of the eight lead
mo farm and industrial producS of three andocked states
Illinois, Wisconsin and Missouri. These products include
Grains dairy products farm machinery and others In
single typical year, enough Of them sold across the
oceans to return well over $500D00,O00 to producers
According to the Chamberof Commerce of the u. S.
exports amount to So per cent gross national product
That by way comparison far higher percentage than
accounted for by great and booming construction in
dustry is only slightly less than expenditures for
capital equipment.
These facts made even interesting to this part
of the country stand On the threshold of the Great
Lakes Seaway Development.
1t interesting that 1866 is expected to be
record year for shipped and from Great
Lake ports The former recbrd year 1868 when total
of $4,000 net tons handled by ships carrying foreign
flags into our lake ports.
While the traffic of foreign ships lake waters is small
compared with domestic shipping it continues to
grow.
Chicago Detroit accounted for than threefths
of the total of freight Toledo and Cleveland last
year handled 68, 118 net tohs.
Overseas exports from Toledo have always contained
major proportion of petroleum coke from the refineres
1O360 coke shipped Norway in 1854 Autos
and parts have also formed major part the cargo Smaller
shipments of glassware bu clover seed and machinery
sent to ports scattered fom the Caribbean to the Baltic
Yes, shipping plays important role in the
economic welfare than Sne might realize first thought

Added History
Reported On
Augsbtrger Farm

Additional information on the
Memo AUD dsburger farm which was
pictured as mystery farm No. %, was
received lakt week too late to include
in the storE of that farm.
Mr., Augsburger, who no longer
farms his hroperty, resides in Pan
dora. He Originally bought the 40
acres on which, the buildings are To-
Gated from w. H\Steiner in 1918. At
that time the Stein ers had farmed the
property for 20 yea hrs. 1t was origin
ally broken to tie plow by David
Diller, Mr.. Augsbhrger believes.
Mr.. Augsburgfr recalls his pur-
chase of the farm back in 1913 be-
cause it was on b Friday the 18th.
In the 3S years the Augsburgers
lived there they remodeled the house
in 1920, and twp years earlier they
had built an addition to the barn. The
cattle shed was built in 1928. They
also acquired an additional 40 acres
in 1920, and Mr.. Angsburger did con-
siderable ditching and farm improve
ment work in more recent years.
Mr.. Augsburger married the form
er Mary Diller in 1911. They have
four children, Mrs. L. r. Amstutz,
Mountain Lake, Mimi; Otis, Hender-
son, Neb.; Emmett, who farms across
the road, and Wilma, a teacher in
Meade, Kan.
Mr.. Augsburger was formerly en-
ployed by the Jorg Hatchery, and
presently is working at Bixel's Egg
House in Pandora.

We only want to pass a few hints
on hunting the wary mushroom as re-
ported by James b. Hendryx N the
Lincoln Mercury magazine.
First of all, they may jutt be
sponge-type mushrooms to yob, but
Mr.. Hendryx refers to them as norels

these places, but walk Slowly. Morels
have a way of hiding in last years
weeds"
Mr.. Hendryx really didn't have
to say this because v e will vouch
personally on behalf of morePs
ability to hide, and dallas Berry
will back us both up. Mr.. Berry,
like many of us, kas tremen-
dOus appetite for the mOrel, but
poor eye for ono.
WE WONDER whether Maynard
Geiger, who probably still has a deep
freeze full of last \spring's crop,
knows that sponge mushrooms can be
preserved also by dehydtating.
Our friend Hendrt TX states
they may be dried in an oven or
by laying them on a screen door
supported by sawhorse$ and then
leave them in the sunlight for
two or three days. Better not
try this, Maynard, Mrs. Geiger
may not be able to spare the
screen door that long).
The morel may also be canned by
cleaning and parboiling for two or
three minutes, hot-pack in jars and
process in a pressure cooker for 80
minutes under 10 pounds of pressure
In conclusion, Mr.. Hendryx writes;
"Try scuffing your shoes, this May
against the springtime sod. Chances
are, you'll be enrolled thereafter as q

when rains fall and the earth
turns soft and the south wind filters
into your blood, the morel is your
first excuse to get outdoors, kick
through last years grass and look
for signs of springs beginnings" he
says.
Because the sponge mushroom
cannot manufacture its own food,
you'll find them in old apple
orchards, burned over woods and
cutover areas where the second
growth is coming up. They
depend upon rotted material,
and organic matter for their
food.
Says Mr.. Hendryx "Seek them il

some 500 white leghq qrn hens.
Herman and Erneb bt team up with
another son, Carl, I'd farm a total of
$50 acres. The rotation program is
wheat, clover, corn, beans and back
to wheat. The clover Us not harvested,
but plowed back into lthe ground, and
a liberal commercial fertilizer appli-
cation is used.
Three tractors and b great deal OF
other farm machinery is used in the
operation, and Erndst, who has a
natural mechanical | aptitude keeps
the equipment operating. In his ma
chine shop, he hasI his own welding
equipment and fhe stock of tools.
The Bosses like heir type of farm
operation because it does not tie them
as closely to the farm as dairying or
livestock husbandlV. This gives
Ernest and his wife\time for a GER
tain amount of fishing. They just
returned from Florida\ three weeks
ago where they enjoyed their first
deep sea fishing. They take Michigan
fishing trips regularly.
The farm was acqui led by Ernest
