HUPP-'
Othman's Column
By Frederick C. 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.

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."

The research. 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.
