THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA. SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE EIGHT Section B Thursday, Nov. 12, 1959 Ag Census To P For Evaluation, LINCOLN Napoleon's ad aue that "an army moves on Its tilcmach" Is just as true of na tions today whose growth is de pendent upon progress In agri culture. That's why workers across the nation are In the midst of the 17th Census of Agriculture. Its purpose is to check agricultur al Diogress since the 1954 cen sus and to provide a basis for looking ahead. Like an army of men, every one in a nation Is affected by agriculture because all need food and clothing. Living would be impossible without the pro duction of agriculture. Most families sepnd about one-fourth of their Income for food. In ad dition, agriculture Is a major source of materials for cloth ing. Our agricultural land not only must provide increasingly well for our own growing population, but on some occasions must ser ve as the "bread basket" for the free world, points out Ever ett E. Peterson, Extension farm economist at the College of Ag riculture. Millions of non farm people also are affected by what hap pens In agriculture. By the same token, much of the suc cess of farmers In achieving greater production is tied to the work of non farm people. Farms and farm people use products and implements pro duced in the chemical, machin ery, oil, electrical, automotive and other industries as well as scientific discoveries in private and public research laborator ies. Millions of people are en gaged in the processing and distribution of food and other materials on farms, "As our population grows, so does our need for additional food supplies. Americans have levels of living among the best In the world. In part, our high standard of living has been made possible by the progress of our agriculture," according to Peter son. "By becoming highly product, lve and efficient, agriculture has more than met the 'needs for food and raw materials and at the same time has released labor for producing non-agricul-tural produqts and providing non-agricultural services. Thus, everyone is directly affected by what happens in agriculture." During the past two decades, agriculture in the U. S. has un dergone a technological and scientific revolution. Within a third of a lifetime, the most spectacular changes in the tec. hnology of agricultural product Ion the world . has ever seen, have occurred in the U. S. Agricultural production has been affected by widespread and sweeping changes in mec hanization, nutrition, genetics and sanitation. Since 1940, the rovide Basis Looking Ahead production per man-hour has doubled. The Increase in prod uction per man-hour since 1940 Is as great as the increase in production in the 120 years from 1820 to 1940. A nationwide cen sus is the only way to obtain up-to-date facts on a widespread and an increasingly complex agriculture. It encompasses more than 4 million farms rang ing in size from less than 1 acre to more than 100,000 acres. That's agriculture today. Abstracts of Title "Title Insurance" THOMAS WALLINC CO. Plattsmouth, Nebraska 3 Accidents Per 100,000 Hours Is SAC Record HQ. SAC The Strategic Air Command's flying safety record for the first nine months of 1959 was a remarkable low of three aircraft accidents per 100,000 flying hours, by far the best average the command has registered since it was acti vated 13 '2 years ago. But bad weather is here, and Gen. Thomas S. Power, SAC Commander in Chief, has direct ed the numbered aid force com manders to "take immediate and positive action to review the safety program and prac tices within your command and insure that complacency is not allowed to develop." He said "crew members as well as commanders" must "ex ercise the maximum in profes sionalism, supervision, leader ship, and discipline" to fore stall the rise of aircraft accid ents during bad weather. Last year's accident rate was five per 100,000 flying hours, and that was a SAC record .25 better than the previous record year 1957. A glance at the record indicat es just how much safer SAC's flying is today than it was a few years ago. In 1956 the rate was 9.2 accidents per 100,000 flying hours, and in 1949 just 10 years 'ago It was 52.0. But why rates? What do they mean? They mean a great deal more than shiny saftey 'plaques and gleaming trophies. Low ac cident rates mean fewer lives lost, fewer aircraft commited to the junk heap, and a greater combat potential. They may mean national survival. During the winter season the accident rates are prone to rise. They have done so in the past, but the present and the future are what SAC is concerned with. For the command to establish a new record in 1959, it must anticipate winter accidents be fore they happen. INSTRUCTOR'S INSTRUCTION Clinton, Mo. Carl Sexton, driver education Instructor in the Clinton Schools, took two boys and two girls out for a les son in changing tires. They stopped in a residential section when it was one of the girls' turn to change a tire. While the girl toiled, there came an indignant woman's voice from a nearby house: "It seems to me that you men could at least help that girl, in stead of just standing around."
