American Boy
Introduces a
New Football Game
In the earlv fall issues of THE
AMERICAN BOY there'll be pre
sented the story of a new game-H
six-man football fast as profes
sional football, wide open as bas
ketball, thrilling as hockey!
The tame came to life through the
need of small schools for some sub
stitute for 11-man football, which
was too expensive. Stephen Epler, a
Nebraska graduate student in ath
letics, developed the game of six-
man football to meet this need. In
six-man football anybody can score,
the possibility of injury from mass
plays is minimized, and the game is
open enough for spectators to fol
low everv exciting development.
The new game is a hit. New schools
are taking it up every day. In com
ing issues THE AMERICAN BOY
tells the world about this practical
new game. In addition, it presents
The American Boy Official Hand
book, which can be obtained from
the magazine at 20 cents a copy, or
15 cents when bought in bulk.
NOTE: Subscription prices of THE
AMERICAN BOY will be raised in
the near future. Send your subscrip
tibn order at once to take advantage
of the bargain rates now in effect
one year at $1.00 or three years at
$2.00. Foreign subscriptions 50c a
vear extra. Send your name, address
and remittance to THE AMERICAN
BOY, 7430 Second Blvd., Detroit,
Mich. On newsstands the price is 15c
a copy.
Wheat Growers
Warned of Surplus
A iiiarninit n wheat OTOWerS of
4 . o
tV nation of the dangers of over
production net year, recently issued
by the bureau of agricultural econ
omics, has been backed up by an ad
vance statement from the agricul
tural adjustment administration in
dicating that the probable provisions
of the 1938 agricultural conservation
program will call for a further re
duction in soil depleting crop acre
ages on the part of those who par
ticipate in the program.
The present situation regarding
wheat has been emphasized recently
by an analysis issued by the exten
sion economist at Oregon State col
lege, in which it was shown that
while present prices of wheat are
the most favorable in many years
because of the world shortage, it is
highly improbable that even the in
creased exports of the current mar
keting year will succeed in prevent
ing an exceptionally large carryover
next July.
The seeded acreage for the 1937
crop totaled 81 million acres, com
pared with a five-year average for
the years 1928-1932 of only 67 mil
lion acres. Yields were below aver
age, however, hence the production
this year is estimated at only 3 per
cent above the five year average re
ferred to. Latest estimates are that
the carryover next July will be more
than 190 million bushels, as com
pared with a normal carryover of
about 125 million bushels. If pres
ent favorable prices result in an
equal planting of wheat for next
year's crop, the combined produc
tion from average yields plus the
carryover would give America one
of the largest wheat surpluses in its
history.
With this situation in mind, the
AAA is advising winter wheat pro
ducers and other farmers who grow
fall-sown crops, that the probable
provision in the 1938 program will
call for seeding of soil depleting
crops of not to exceed 80 percent of
the 1937 soil depleting base acreage.
This suggestion is made at this time
for the guidance of farmers who
need this information before the
full details of the 1938 program are
announced. The outline ot the pro
gram being developed in Washing
ton, following the collection of rec
ommendations from all parts of the
country, is not yet completed.
