THE JOURNAL, PLATTSMOUTH. NEBRASKA PACE EIGHT 'THURSDAY , MAY 2. 3 i i i i 3 i Farmers' -'Know How' SpeedsiJse 01 Techniques Gained m Wartime WASHINGTON (U.F Rapid application of new techniques, equipment and seed varieties will usher a new era of farm life in this country during the next de cade. The scientific "know how" of American industry which startled the world in the production of war materials, has a postwar counter part in the swift acceptance of new processes and modes of life yb the agricultural population. The phrase "know how," ex pressing the capacity of American workers to accomplish technical tasks skillfully, was perhaps the most popular slaner term born of the second world w;r. The farm population seems 'row to accept scientific innovations in the same spirit. Research Diverted Every phase of production, mar keting, and consumption cf farm products now undergoes transfor mation. The vast experimental programs made necessary during wartime by the sudden interrup tion of agricultural aad forestal products from many countries are now diverted to the needs of peace. Hybrid grain varieties suited to new climatic conditions mechan ical harvesting of cotton and sug ar cane, breeding of turkeys er cattle to the particular sizes pre ferred for market, improved meth ods for such time-honored tasks as milking cows, dehydrations of meats, control of dieaes of honey bees, designing of clothes for farm workers, are a few among thous ands of innovations being applied in the national agriculturla econ omy. Experts say that farmers are disposed to accent new and better methods when their economic val ue is apnarent. But new methods put new burdens of skill and man agement upon the farmers and "know how'' becomes a vital to agriculture as in manufacturing industries. Brain for the immense system of scientific agriculture in the m4- ism FOR TIRED 'COMPLEXIONS A face serenely smooth, make-up faultless at all times, skin that appears free from blemishes and that dull and sallow look.

United States i the agricultural research, center at Beltsville, Md., devoted to research "for better farming and-farni living," .largest institution of its ,; kind ?.in the world. Beginning n 1910 wth 475 acres, the research center now spreads over 13,900 acres, of which about 2,200 are devoted to a research center for fish and wild life. ' ' Nine bureaus of 'the Depart ment of Agriculture have units at Beltsville, and its 2,000 scientific workers include af-ronomists ani ma 1 husbandmen, agriculturists, architects, bacteriologists, bio chemists, botanists, chemical en tomologists and manj' other spec ialists. Three thousand farm ani mals for laboratory tests. The research center at Belts ville co-operates with agricultural experiment stations in all of the 48 states, and also lends aid to many foregn countries. It is only a short distance from Washing ton, and the agricultural attaches of many embassies maintain regu lar contact with its work and pub lications. Typical new marvel of agricul tural science is the hybrid 80-day corn) (maize). It grows and rip ens in a short summer season, be ing ready for harvest by early September, with the result that the culture of maize is now being rapidly extended to Northern areas where early autumn forests had always before excluded corn. Home-grown feed corn thus pro motes the economy on a great number of dairy farms. Climates Reproduced Illustrative of the revolutionary changes, and potentially of world wide significance is the laboratory production of climates by the Uni ted States Department of Agri culture. This has enabled unprece dented experiments aimed at the improvement cf pasture and grass At State College, Pa., is the United Sstates regional rasture research laboratory, which co operates with 12 northeastern problems. Control chambers have been built to reproduce any kind of climate, for research purposes. Just as the "wind tunnel" facili tates the swift development of aviation, these "control chambers" enable the immediate observation of all factors affecting the growth cf grasses and forage plants. The chambers are designed to control air temperature, soil temperature, relative humidity, and the length of day. Expertds can observe the effect of air and soil temperature on seedings, the effect of tempera tur or restorage of food reserves in plants after clipping, the effect of length of light and upper growth, and the value of seed disinfectants.

Cattle lead the total of animals received, with 35,100,802 recorded in the 45-year history of the stock yards. Yard records show 12,986,217 calves,' 21,547,852 sheep and 1, 622,345 horses and mules received. During, the last several years Fort Worth has come to the front as the nation's leading sheep mar ket, outdistancing Denver, which had held that position. Biggest sheep day was June . 19, 1944, when 56,420 were received. Some 181,784 sheep were received in the week ending June 1, 1945. Read Journal Want Ads I irna!
