more were on the way from Mex

would not come near to meeting
the need. s

Search was underway in the
Spirit Lake area today for
George Coleman, 47-year-old
Cougar, wash., deer hunter re
ported lost and feared the vic
tim of an injury or heart at
tack.
Coleman was reported to have
become separated from a party
of three others. When they fired
shots he answered with two
shots, but later shots were not
answered. This led to fear for
Coleman's safety as he carried
plenty of ammunition.
The area is some 25 miles

is nearer the highway . than

Mexico's Wheal
Crop To Reach
1,000,000 Tons
Mexico City (U.R) Ag
riculture Minister Gilberto Flor
es Munoz says Mexico's wheat
crop- will reach- 1,000,000 tons
during the 1955-56 farming cycle.
He says new lands brought
under cultivation by irrigation
programs and development of
new hybrid seeds suited to the
Mexican climate also will re
sult in greatly increased produc
tion of corn, beans and cotton.
The minister's optimistic fore
cast closely followed President
Adolfo Ruiz Cortines' call for a
10 per cent boost in agricultural
production in his third annual
state of the nation message.
Ruiz Cortines noted in his mes
sage that Mexico reached most
of its farm production goals for
the past 12 months and in some
foodstuffs became an exporter
for the first time. But- he told
the hew congress that even great
er . agricultural expansion is
needed to keep up with the coun
try's growing population.
Exports Up
Flores Munoz said the govern
ment's program to step up farm
production calls for sowing of
1,700,000 acres of wheat for the
new cycle and production of 2,
500,000 bales of cotton as comp
ared to the 2,000,000-bale har
vest of the past season.
He said the government would
prime for the new production
goals' by granting "much heav
ier" agricultural credits than in
the past year when crop support
loans totaled $120,000,000.
The National . Farm Credit
Bank's program of assistance to
the nation's small farmers paid
off during the past season when
the bank was able to recover a
record $60,320,000 loaned out
for materials.
With' cotton and coffee pro
duction up and cattle exportation
to the United States renewed
this year for the first time since
the 1953 hoof and mouth disease
ban, Mexico's agriculture and
livestock exports reached a total
of $456,000,000 for the past 12
months. '

Owyhee Reservoir
Carryover Reduced
Ontario, Ore. (U.R) Water
will be turned out- of Owyhee
reservoir canals 'today, but
Paul House, . north board of
control manager, reported that
carry-over of water storage will
be only about 55,000 acre feet,
a new low.
House pointed up the drought
conditions in the area by dis
closing that the huge reservoir
had shrunk in the past few
years from 54 miles in length
to 34.
He said the reservoir was
still the. second largest body of
water in the state, however.
Average water carry-o v e r
was about 320,000 feet, he said.
doesn't come at the highest price
on the market which is just
what he gets.
"Smoky" isn't really a bear
as bears go. He is more of a
symbol. You may recall that,
scared as a cub, tail scarred and
motherless, he was rescued by
rangers during a fire in the Lin
coln National Forest in New
Mexico.
Prevent Forest Fires
The department of Agricult
ure saw the possibilities of pro
motion and got its Forest Ser
vice to get hold of an artist to
put "Smoky" in oils and then
on black and white and then
onto billboards and ads around
in the papers. ."Prevent forest
fires." That's what all of the
words under "Smoky"; said.
"Smoky" deserves the best
in fine berries and the best in
honey and whatever else a nice
bear likes. The worst -year for
forest fires was in 1943. At that
time there were -210,226 -forest
fires and 33,333,000 acres of fine
timber went up in smoke.
I guess you can give "Smoky"
and his backers; the Department
of Agriculture and insurance
companies, credit for ' bringing
that figure down. Last year,
thanks to promotion, there were
only 176,891 forest fires, accord
ing to the U. S. Forest service.
And the acreage burned over
was 8,832,963. -
But, the government says, that
is far too high. And "Smoky"
even if he drops dead, of
berry fever today, will keep on
working. Working through pos
ters and ads to stamp out camp
fires and quit throwing cigarette
and cigar buts into the brush.
This is a good time to bring
up the subject for it's Nation
al Fire Prevention Week.
Fires in the woods are only
part of the misery we have from
flame.
Worst Fire Trap .
- According to Hathaway G.
Kemper, president of Lumber
man's Mutual Casualty com
pany, "The United States has be
come the world's worst fire
trap."
This man isn't an alarmist,
but he knows that figures don't
lie. At the rate we're going, he
says, it looks very much- as if
homes of at least 12,000,000 Am
ericans will be' damaged or" de;
stroyed by fire in the next 10
years. . . ' '
All of this comes at a time
when we have the best fire-fighting
equipment in the world. Fact
remains that cigarettes can- be
dropped, people smoke in bed
and camp fires are left burning.
Fire fighting equipment. . in
Mrs. O'Leary's day wasn't good
when the cow came down with
a fit and kicked over a lantern
and almost did in the whole city
of Chicago. The fire laddies of
the day came running, but before
the blaze was out four days had
gone by- and $196,000,000 dam
age had been done" and Chicago
had to start a big job of recon
struction.
