Perhaps BETTER WHEATS The coming field day makes it an appropriate time to specu late on what might happen to wheats in Sherman county. It was only 25 years ago that Tur key Red spread over this county as fast as seed could be obtained. It was a wonder wheat, soft straw- ed, productive, full of protein and distinctively bearded. It was only the backward farmer who stayed with Crookneck club, Blue- stem, Red ‘ Russian, Fortyfold when Turkey Red was available.. 1 Since then many wheats have been locally developed that beat Turkey in production. Federation saved the day after the freeze- outs and produced remarkably as well. Rex made Its starchy way when undlscrlminating govern ment paid the same price for ev erything. Now Elgin and Alicel are becoming popular and per haps In five years it will be some new wheat, Just being noticed in the nursery that farmers will ob serve Saturday. It may be bearded, hard wheat, eoft wheat, long headed, short headed, brown in chaff or kernel. AU kinds of wheat have b^en productive in Sherman county fields. It seems probable that with the wheats of 30 years ago. the ccrops would would have been like those of 30 years ago, tor no C . A .

Our company has recently made substantial further postwar in creased wage adjustments, Aggregating $6,000,000 on an annual basis, as a reshk-of collective bargaining negotiations with the unions. These added wage increases are over and above the postwar adjust ment wage increases made in December of last year which aggregated more than $18,000,000 on an annual basis. Thus, this recent wage increase, embodied in a contract to run until March 1, 1947, brings the postwar adjustment wage increases, arising out of collective bar gaining, to more than $24,000,000 annually— the increase in our postwar ¿wage rates being 19 per cent.
