Weeds Form Greatest Problem for Farmers
Washington (U.R) There is
one war going on today that
never makes the headlines, even
though it cost $4,000,000,000 a
year.
It's the constant battle be
tween the farmer and the weed.
Weeds are among the most ex
pulsive pests farmers have to
fight. Annual losses due to the
lowly weed are estimated at $4.
000,000,000, according to the
Manufacturing Chemists Asso
ciation. Besides being soil-robbers,
weeds are water-pilferers. The
average ragweed the bane of
hayfever sufferers soaks up
three times the amount of water
Deeded by a corn plant.
But farmers are getting a
scientific lift in the fight. A
number of synthetic week-killers
are helping farmers to in
crease productivity.
One application of weed-killer
2, 4D, costing about $2.50
an acre, resulted in an Okla
homa rancher increasing forage
and beef production by over 50
per cent, the association said.
Chemicals used in wheat-
growing' land added three
bushels more an acre. And in
the corn country, use of chemi
cal control has shown increased
yields of from 10 to 40 bushels
per acre.
Farmers paid less per kilowatt
for electric power in 1954 than
in previous years.

Mexico's Oil Output
Shows Big Increase
Mexico City U.R) A bright
future for Mexico's oil industry
is predicted by President Adolfo
Ruiz Cortines, who says this
year's record output will be
greatly increased by newly
opened plants and two major
pipelines scheduled to go into
operation before 1956.
The president praised the government-owned
oil monopoly's
program of exploration, drilling
and production which resulted
in discovery of llnew oilfields
and drilling of 354 wells in the
past 12 months.
Production for this period was
91,400,000 barrels up 13,400,
000 over the previous year, Ruiz
Cortines said.
The chief executive pointed
out that Mexico's oil -income
from 29,299,000 barrels export
ed during the past 12 months
totaled $45,040,000 an increase
of $17,360,000 over the previous
year's total.
In his third annual state of
the nation address, Ruiz Cortines
lauded the oil industry's role in
the nation's economic recovery
and said $4,560,000 from petrol
eum income was spent for school,
medical and social services for
employees.
Looking to the future, the
president said the government's
oil program calls for capital in
vestments of $61,400,000 during
the next 12 months, an increase
of $12,000,000 over last year.

The two firms believe the new

five to 45 barrels a day after the
device was used.
The heater, an 18-foot-lohg as

Physical Sciences
School Opened at UC
Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) The
University of California has es
tablished an institute devoted to
basic research, similar to the
one at Princeton, N.J., where
the late Albert Einstein studied
for many years.
Establishment of the new In
stitute for Basic Research and
Science was disclosed last night
by US Chancellor Clark Kerr
at the opening of a three-day
symposium on the physical
sciences.
The symposium was one of a
number of special events hon
oring Robert Gordon Sproul on
his 25th anniversary as univer

Kerr said the institute will
begin operating with a fund of
$2,750,000, the gift of a single

Teachers Encouraged
To Explain Problems
Bloomington, 111. (U.R) A
businessman believes that teach
ers should speak up loud and
clear about school problems.
Irving B. Harris, chairman of
the board of Science Research
Associates of Chicago, told a
meeting of 1,000 administrators
and teachers at an Illinois State
Normal University conference
here that local organizations
often want to be helpful but
don't know how.
"Too many teachers seem to
shy away-' from the public," he
said. "Some may even have un
consciously chosen teaching as a
means of avoiding too much con
tact with the public."
There's no point, Harris told
the teachers in "bawling out
other people or wringing your
hands" over financial problems.
He advised them to start a
"long-term . community public
relations project on a local level
based on continuing opinion re
search."

After 38 Years Apart
Lesterville, S.D. (U.R) Har
old Collins, farmer of near here,
had the thrill of a lifetime re
cently he had a reunion with
his father, whom he had never

ther was living in Los Angeles.
Later, the two talked over the
telephone and Collins and his
wife then visited Hancock in
Los Angeles.
