China Reaps
Seonty Crop

Weather extremes have affected
virtually all agricultural areas in
mainland China during the 1868
growing season, Far East observers
report.
Production of summer harvested
grains, which account for about one
fourth of the total grain, was less
than last years poor harvest. Out
look for intermediate and late rice
is only fair, and the output of mis-
cellaneous grains probably will not
offset early grain losses.
Agricultural production has failed
to keep pace with growing popula-
tion, reports say, so even with grain
imports, per capita food availability
is expected TO change little from last
year.

Now they have a dream of their

The word strikes terror in the

The land is free to those who will
clear it, farm it, live on it. But it
is tropical land. Altiplano people are
used to cold dry climate. They have
great lungs adapted to their thin
atmosphere. 1t is difficult for them
TO adjust to the humidity and heat
of the lowlands. The vegetation is
very strange and terrifyingly dense.
Many of them have never before

What is the Rockefeller ''image" ?
He is handsome, athletic, we'll

has helped Negroes, financed medical

the Johnson image? Until a few
weeks ago it was that of a Texas oil

That's the image johnson must

too, but his re-marraige seems less

Aside from Rockefeller's charm

are plagued by another frightening
prospect, namely, that the Cover

formidable opposition in 1864.

PEACE CORPS TO AID
FAMILIES IN ADJUSTING

But now there are Peace Corps
people or agricultural specialists who
come to help the Altiplano families
adjust to the new land.
Jose's family listens in astonish-
ment as he passes on the informa-
| ton. His little son and daughter put
down the shiny truck and tractor he
recently brought them from the us.
His little wife caresses the baby as
she listens. She smiles when he tells
about citrus fruits and bananas. When
he finishes listing the tempting foods,
she looks up expectantly into his
face and asks, "And potatoes?"
On the Altiplano potatoes are their
whole existence. Often they are the
only food family has. Surely there
must be potatoes. Jose hesitates. Does
he dare admit to her that the para
disc he has pictured has no potatoes?
But he must be truthful. ''No pota-
toes" he admits, ''but lots of yucca"
1t is like potatoes but even better
very rich and delicious and it grows
the whole year around. 1t won't have
to be dried as they do potatoes be-
cause there is never cold dry sea-
son when the people must go hungry.
1t is a tremendous adventure. The
people must have great courage, en-
durance, adaptibility. But if they
can stick it out for year, they will
have wonderful life with abundance
such as they have never before
dreamed of.
Jose caught the vision in the us.
With this vision he is ready to lead
his people into the promised land.

December IA, 1868
Dear Harry & Gretchen:
Jose Miranda is a leader in the
Punilla community on the Bolivian
Alhiplana. He is a leader with a
vision, and some of his trends are
ready to follow Jose's vision because
they believe in him. He has proved
his ability to them many times in the
past.
1t is Jose who is the first to recog-
nize the advantages to be gained
from the new methods introduced
by the extension service. 1t is Jose
who is raising the only trees on all
this part of the Altiplano. They are
growing and increasing in value and
will be insurance of an income to
his parents in their old age. His
home and fields show that he is q
good worker. Much of the time he
is working on project that will help
his whole community.
The Punilla community points with
pride to the fine school Jose and his
As Club boys built.
1t was built too late for Jose to
get the education he had hoped for,
but his younger brothers were able
to go to school and to learn to speak

"a RESTLESS STIRRING"
DEVELOPING

So there is a restless stirring among
the campesinos. Some of the more
reckless, rebellious youths are taking
up the talk of the Bolivian miners
talk of another revolution; of Selling
the government for Lechin. They
whisper the word communism.
The people of Jose Miranda's COM
munity do not like such talk. They
prefer the way of personal freedom

JOSE SPENT LAST SUMMER
IN MONTANA

The community looks to Jose for
leadership even more now since he
spent last summer in Montana. This
is the most important thing that has
ever happened to these people, and
something very special may result
from it.
Changes are coming to the Alti-
plano. The older people shake their
heads and say only bad can come
from it. Yet they, too, enjoy the ex-
element and sociability of market
day. 1t is the trucks that have brought
the change. Now the campesinos can
go many miles and find better mar
ket for their products. Every week
they tie their potatoes and grains
into big bundles and wait with them
along the highway. When the truck
comes by, they throw on their things
and all pile on the truck atop of their
produce.
At the market they meet people
who have come as far as they from
many directions. How exciting it is
to learn about these far away places
Some of the people may even have
been to the city. They tell unbeliev-
able stories of the way people live
there. 1t makes many people want |
a better life for themselves and their
families. But there is little oppor-
tunity for more than a slight improve
ment on the high, dry, cold Altiplano.

their normal pay during the aver age two week jury duty. A person is eligible to serve each 2-4 years.
 John J. Lane, president of the 12,000 man NACCA group, says the trend toward making jury duty more attractive is gaining nomcn- tum. More people are actually seeking jury service, especially women.
 Selection of jurors varies Sta'e by state, and even county by county, according to NACCA eH- perts, but panels are generally drawn from voter, taxpayer, prop erty owner and city register lists. At times even telephone directories are used.
 ''In one county" "says Lane, the judge selects a small child who can neither read nor write and ten juror names are picked from a hat by the youngster."
 All persons - except ex-con- victs - are eligible to serve as jurors in most states, but the ma jority of courts regularly excuse persons in certain occupations. Some states have laws specifying who can and cannot serve.
 While actually in the jury box," says NACCA President Lane, there are certain restrictions. Ju- TOTS usually can't smoke, and of course, talking, reading or writing letters is forbidden. But many judges allow women to knit, un- obstrusively."
 The jury system is now more than 1000 years old and has served society we'll during this millennium. In each era it has been modified or expanded to suit the times. But English Lord Broue- ham perhaps best summed up the value of the jury system in 1928 when he said "juries are the most wholesome, wise and almost per- l feet invention"
