Othman (UmM Vtw Stmff Corre.Kndent) Washington, Nov. 25 itw I am in a quandary about my announc ed program to plant my new farm in potatoes and allow Clint Anderson, the secretary of agri culture, to pay me for not dig ging 'em uo. Clint s bought so many pota toes lately nearly 100,000,000 bushels in the last two years that the price has soared high enough to suit everybody except the city housewives who pay for same by the pound and through the nose. Ho Ulmt s called otl his potato buying spree until the price goes down again. That does n't look so good for farmer Oth man, wholesale producer of souf fle in the raw. I may have to dig the durn things. This is hard work, I understand, and it Isn't all. Maurice L. Hartung, my Lever ing Mich., correspondent and ex potato grower (ho gave up the idea after trying to do business with Clint), is in with a friendly warning that shatters my spudsy dreams. Fellow potato growers, listen to Maurice: "Uncle Sam does and makes you do things the hard way," he reports. "You better apply first for a potato allotment. Then Clint's boys will consult the law of averages, the weather bureau, crop statistics, and your own rec ords to establish your potato his tory. They will determine how many bugs will invade how many potato fields this year. This will bring you to about a week before planting time. You get your al lotment which says if you plant one hill too manv Uncle Sam will not be responsible for any losses. So let us pretend that you are a brave man and plant your po tatoes. "Comes a notice about the mid dle of September saying that on Sept. 15 there will be a potato meeting with your county AAA committee. So you go to the meet ing to be enlightened and you come away confused. Only more so. lhey spring on you the tact that to be eligible for support price vou must pay cash on the line tonight one cent per hun dredweight on all the potatoes you are going to dig later. It is 10 o clock in the evening and you haven't even consulted the po tatoes you are going to dig. "So you consult all the figures that the government consulted and like the government you come up with the wrong answer. This is on account of the law of averages, which is bughouse for any special year and is no good to anybody but a politician. So you guess you will dig 100 bags of 100 pounds for each acre. This sounds reasonable, provid ing it does .not freeze, before Oct. 5. On the average, It doesn't. But as I said, phoooy! This time it freezes about Sent. 20. "So you oply get a few hun dred bushels and leave about 3, 000,000 undersized potatoes in the ground. What potatoes you've got you put in the bin and you sud denly need money. You apply for the government loan on an appli cation blank that is 'about 25 times as long as necessary and says enclose one-half cent per bag for inspection. Later on much Inter an Inspector comes and takes innumerable measurements of the bin. "Still later - on get a letter say Intr you must offer to the govern ment at least one-fifth nf your crop. So you offer It and then you get a letter saying there Is no market for the present and to hold them a while. Uv now may ho your potatoes have rotted enough to make four per cent of them spoil. You can then apply for orders to flump them. Of course you have? to pay to get them Inspected again." This, according to Correspon dent Hartung, is only the begin ning. The potato deal gets hor rible!' and horrihlor. "I know It sounds ridiculous," he says, "but It is so near 'he truth that It is Just plain pathetic. Good luck to you and your potatlo patch. I'm through. Yours In sorrow, Mau rice." Gosh. Maybe I better raise goats to butt the Inspectors off the place and buy my potatoes In town. Use classified ads in The Bulle tin for quick results. IP BllL HMSO t C36.T W0ULDi"f H.E POi 1 -1 r-j i FUNNY BUSINESS r 1 ' "He saves time by taking his on rainy Secret Of Northern Lights Yields To Scientific Probe Washington, D. C. The Daz zling display of the polar aurora, or "northern lights," is yielding Its secrets to an eight-year study conducted by the National Geo graphic society and, Cornell uni versity. Dr. Carl Gartlein of the Cor nell physics department, who is directing the project, says that the research has resulted in val uable addition to an understand ing of the aurora's nature and be havior. The survey is continuing. The heavenly spectacle, with its icy-white beams and fluttering colors, has awed and mystified people since Bible times, but in recent years Its scientific cause has become known. Writing in the November Issue of the Na tional Geographic magazine, Dr. Gartlein explains the phenome non as follows: 'Picture it yourself gigantic streams of electric particles spouting forth from the far-away sun and speeding millions of miles out into space like streams from a gigantic hose. Sometimes they pour out for weeks at a time. Like Ijtwn Sprinkler . "As the sun revolves on its axis, these huge streams sweep around through space much as do the Jets of water 'issuing from u rotating lawn sprinkler. Every1 so often one of them catches the earth in Its path, and then for hours or days our planet Is drenched with this shower of elec trified particles. "When one of these streams approaches the earth, it encount ers an invisible field of magnetic torce that forms a sort of nebu lous envelope extending out thou sands of miles around the earth. It Is exactly the same kind of field of force that exists around an ordinary horseshoe magnet and It what guides compass needles toward the north. "This .magnetic field diverts most of the nnrushing sun par ticles toward the north and south polar regions. There they speed down into the upper part of the earth's atmosphere and collide with atoms of the rarefied upper air. 'The collisions excite the atoms so that they give off light, set ting up a glow which can be soon from the earth far below. This glow is the aurora." WANTED!

Dr. Gartlein . , 5 says, has shown definitely that 1 there is a close connection be- " tween magnetic storms, the aurora, and sunspots. The same showers of particles that produce the aurora cause magnetic storms which make radio, telephone, and telegraph communications impos- ' slble or at least unreliable for hours. , Avoids Effects of Storm 'Fortunately," Dr. Gartlein .,. writes, "if we have warning of a magnetic storm, some of its bad -effects can be avoided. Radio messages can be rerouted to by- ... pass disturbed portions of the l(j ionosphere, and land communloa- ,, tlons lines can be protected tem porarily against disturbances. That is one important reason for '', studying the aurora. ' "Auroras also play a part to- M day In the exploration of the new world of the upper air, which is assuming ever greater Impor- " tance as we penetrate larther and ... farther upward with high-lying "' aircraft, rockets, and long-dis- , tance radio signals. "With the aid of the aurora, we are now able to measure at least approximately how far the at mosphere extends above the sur- . face of the earth, to analyze the composition of tho rarefied air at heights too lofty to reach by any other means, and to understand '," better the invisible reflecting lay ers of the ionosphere which are so important in long-distance radio communication." f The best places in tho United States to see the aurora, Dr. Gart lein says, are located north of a line running approximately from New York City through Pitts burgh, Dos Moines, and Boise, Idaho, to Salem, Oregon. Auroras are seen only occasionally south ,, of this line. . HOUGH ON UATS Oklahoma City (U' Gov. Roy J. Turner has asked Oklahoma farm youths to declare war on , rats.
