Drought
Hits Asia,
U.S., Brazil
The rains never came.
and
drought parched wide areas of
the world In 1963.
Parts of Asia were hit hard
est, the National Geographic
Society says. More than 300,000
Pakistanis were forcen to aban
don their homes In West Pakis
tan to seek food and water as
famine followed a prolonged dry
spell.
Tin mines in Burma and Ma-
lava were close because no water
;was available to wash the ore-
bearing mud. Fertile rice-growing
provinces on China's south
eastern coast suffered the worst
drought in centuries.
Reservoirs Dwindle
Hong Kong reservoirs almost
emptied during seven months of
subnormal rainfall. Household
water was severely rationed, and
the entire economy Of the colony
suffered. Devout Chinese releas
ed fish and turtles in the sea
and turned loose pet monkeys,
deer, and birds on land to pro
pitiate the spirits.
The worst drought of the cen
tury in Brazil shrank river levels
to dangerous lows. Hydroelectric
plants had ration power, slow
ing industrial production and
temporarily blacking out house
holds. Drought or near-drought pre
vailed in the United States from
the Great Plains to New Eng
land. In normally humid Mass
achusetts, the reservoir at Wor
cester became a dried, cracked
wasteland of mud.
Seven states canceled hunting
seasons and banned fires in the
powder-dry woods.
New Jersey firemen fought a
forst fire with water drawn from
an abandoned mine shaft and
pumped through a half-mile of
hose. They had to bypass a more
convenient water supply in a
nearby, but ebbing, resarvoir.
In Williams, Arizona, where in
normal times stockmen buy
water for their herds from a
coin-operated dispenser giving
250 gallons for 25 cents, the sev
ere drought reduced a quarter's
worth to 90 gallons.
Texans, who have learned to
live with and laugh at drought,
revived the wry story of the
rancher who said, "Well, the
wind blew the ranch plumb into
Old Mexico, but we ain't lost
everything. We get to keep the
mortgage."
Rainfall 'Migrated'
Many farmers who originally !
settled in Texas and the Great
Plains thought that rainfall was I
migrating westward with them I
by Ule good grac.es of Provid-
enc.C.
Othcrs believed plowing
i!e so11 increased preclpitetion
The great drought of 1894-95
burst that bubble.
In the 1930's, some people de
cided that radio broadcasting
prevented rain by putting large j
amounts of electricity into the
atmospheie. Thousands of farm-
wrote Congress asking that
siawuns ue snunceu uuui ram
broke the tragic drought.
The 1963 crisis has been blam
ed variously on nuclear explo
sions, sunspots, an increase in
the speed of the earth's rota
tionand the growing network
of paved highways.
Meteorologists explain, how
ever, that droughts usually
develop when a stream of dry
air persistently pours into a re
gion, supplanting moist air. But
nobody knows why the air cur
rents shift, and weathermen:
cannot predict droughts
It is widely held that dry
spells come in cycles. Studies of
tree rings, old water levels, his
torical records, and reports of
crop failures show large varia
tions in rainfall but no clearly
defined cycles.

Safety Group Says Anyone
Can Drive Safely in Winter
WASHINGTON, D. C. All
drivers can go on winter ice and
snow in safety if they follow the
advice of the experts, declares
Richard O. Bennett, Secretary
Treasurer of the Insurance In
stitute for Highway Safety.
"It Is tragic to see drivers get
killed or injured it's bad
enough to see them stalled on
ice or snow-packed streets and
highways because they don't
know the basic rules of safe win
ter driving," Bennett said.
"These ground rules for get
ting places safely in winter
weather have been developed by
the National Safety Council's
Committee on Winter Driving
Hazards, Bennett exp 1 a i n e d.
"The rules are observed carefully
by all highly skilled commercial
! drivers and were developed af
'4-H Youth
And Nation's
Agriculture:'
By MARGARITE McNALLY
Nat'l 4-H Service Committee
A group of men recently had
a peek at what could be a part
of the U. S. farm scene 20 years
hence. Among the things they
"saw" were artificial lighting of
entire fields making possible
several harvests within a single
growing season; devices to pre
dict which eggs hatch pullet?
and which produce roosters; soil
sterilized against plant disease
and harmful weeds by mobile
X-Ray units.
Fantastic but not impossible
were electronic vegetable har
vesters capable of selecting only
mature crops then cleaning,
grading and packaging them as
the machine travels over the
field; processed milk weighing a
fraction of raw milk, stored
without refrigeration and trans
ported to a common market;
converted salt water piped from
the ocean to areas having a
shortage of fresh water; farmers
taking weekend rocket trips to
check up on agriculture in far
a, way places; and scores of other
seemingly unbelievable develop
ments.
Who, two decades ago, envi
sioned the technological changes
the mechanical, chemical and
biological developments that
today make our agriculture the
most efficient in the world: the
efficiency which enables 92 per
cent of our working force to
choose non-farm occupations?
We can be reasonably assured
that future developments will be
products of the minds of young
men and women presently living
on a farm, and who will leave
the farm, but not agriculture
to find work. Many of these
young people will carry to their
jobs a solid background of spec
ialized experience, skills and
training gathered In the 4-H
agricultural program supervised
by the Extension Service of land
grant universities and colleges.
But practical experience alone
does not meet the expanding
needs of the vast agri-business
complex. Formal education is es
sential. And that education is
costly.
Many boys and girls who
proudly wear the greer and
white 4-H emblem need an as
sist to begin or continue college.
Toward this end, far-sighted
business enterprises have been
providing 4-H scholarship funds
for a long time.
Soon college scholarships and
fellowships valued at $145,000
will be presented to 275 of the
nation's most outstanding 4-H
youths and to young adults who
once were 4-H Club members.
Presentations will be made
during the 42nd National 4-H
Club Congress at Chicago the
first week in December. This
annual event is the showcase of
some 1,500 boys and girls repre
senting the best of 4-H in all 50
states and Puerto Rico. Hosts
will be the business executives
whose firms provide the tilps,
scholarships and other 4-II as
sistance. If this far-reaching interest
and support continues through
the next four decades It has In
the last four, the technological
advances still on the drawing

ter years of testing by automo
tive engineers, test drivers, tire
and chain experts, government
officials, and others who have
met each year to conduct tests
of all kinds of vehicles and
equipment.''
The national authority on traf
fic safety explained that the ten
commandments of safe winter
driving have been widely pub
licized by the National Safety '
Council and almost all safety
organizations.
"Television spots are now be
ing used natijnally by the Na
tional Safety Coun;:l to give
more drivers a better knowledge
of how to survive on icy road
ways," he said.
Bennett sums up the commit
tee's ten basic rules this way:
1. Install anti-freeze after
cooling system is flushed out and
checked for leaks.
2. Have good tires. See that
tires have good treads, whether
snow tires or regular. Front
wheels also need good treads for
"cornering."
3. Always carry reinforced tire
chains. Insure your ability to
"GO" on ice or in deep snow
with reinforced tire chains. They
are far superior for severe con
ditions such as deep snow and
slippery hills.
4. Be sure wipers work. Be
sure windshield wiper blades are
in good condition and with arm
pressure of at least an ounce for '
each inch of blade.
5. Use your defroster. Keep
windshield clear of ice and in
terior fogging.
6. Make sure all lights work.
Headlights, stop lights, tail
lights and directional signals
should be tested frequently.
7. Be sure you can start. Have
engine tuned up for sure starting -in
cold weather and have spark
plugs and distributor points
checked.
8. Be sure you can stop. Have
brakes adjusted frequently, lin
ings checked and free from
grease.
9. Check battery frequently
for proper charge and make
sure it is always full of fluid.
10. Have exhaust system in
order. Muffler and tail pipe
should be checked frequently to
avoid leakage of exhaust gases
into car when windows are.,
closed.
"There are six principal haz
ards of winter driving," Bennett
declared. The two that cause the
most trouble are reduced visibil-
ity and inadequate traction."
The other four he listed are (1)
fluctuations of temperature, (2)
reduced ability to steer and stop,
(3) unexpected icy conditions,
and (4) ice and snow made slip- ,
pery by rising temperature.
Moon Not Key
To Day's Weather
Does the moon really exert
an influence on crops? Should
certain crops be planted accord
ing to the phases of the moon? "
The belief that the moon af- CI
fec.ts the weather and that crops "
should be planted according to
its phases is largely discredited
today by astronomers though
many hold faithfully to th be
lief.
The moon does exert a power
ful influence on the tides and on
certain earthly functions, but it
is not now thought to exert any
appreciable influence on our " "
daily weather. .. -
The moon, Interestingly, Ls
the earth's only satellite. Some
of the other eight planets we
know of have more than one
satellite. Jupiter, the largest
planet, has twelve moons, and
three of the planets have no
satellites.
A halo around the moon indi
cates rain is probably on the
way.
Shotgun Shells Stolen
