FIRST NATION - Newton H.
Minow, chairman of the Fed
e r a 1 Communications Com
mission, told a meeting of the
Town Hall in Los Angeles
that history will show that the
Russians were first to put a
man in space but history will
show that America was the
first nation to orbit an idea.

1962 Field Crops
Valued al Record
$20,107,281,
Washington - WPU - Ameri
can farmers produced field
crops in 1962 valued at a
record $20, 107,281,000, about
$365 million more than the
value of the 1961 crop.
The field crop production
this year equaled the record
output of 1960 and was 1 per
cent higher than the 1961
crop.
The Agriculture depart
ment's year end report Tues
day showed that the record
tying crop was planted or
grown on 302 million acres.
This was the smallest planted
acreage since records began
in 1929. The harvested acre
age for the 1962 crop was 288
million acres, the smallest
number since the comparable
series started in 1909.
Record high yields per acre
for many crops lifted the
production volume to the lev
el of 1960 despite the small
harvested acreage. The vol
ume was 108 per cent of the
1957-59 base.
Favorable growing condi
tions in the central part of
the country - the nation's
breadbasket - helped corn
and other feed grains
record yields per acre. Com
pared with last year, food
grains, vegetables and fruits
and nuts showed declines,
while all other groups includ
ed in the production index in
creased. Compared with 1960,
production of feed grains and
food grains was lower, but
increases in all other groups
of crops offset these de
creases. The composite index cover
ing yields per acre of 28 ma
jor crops rose to 113 per cent
of the base period, up 4 per
cent from the previous high
of 109 in 1961.
New yields were establish
ed for corn and the other
Ihree feed Brains, as well as
the average tonnage per acre
of all hay and the two silage
crops, corn and sorghum.
Spring wheat set new yield
records while winter wheat
yield per acre was the fourth
highest on record. Soybean
yields were second to last
year, but peanuts, flaxseed,
and tobacco were at all time
highs.
Production of the four feed
grains in 1962 totaled 143.1
million tons. This was nearly
2 per cent above the 140.6 mil
lion tons produced in 1961.
The new vicld records for
corn, oats and barley more
than offset acreage reduc
tions. Grain sorghums and
acreage and yield both were
shove a year earlier.
. Production of food grains
rinwn fi nrr cent from
1961, following a 9 per cent
drop from 1960. Oilseed pro
duction rose 1 per cent, to
bacco went up 10 per cent,
mid sugar beets were up 3 per
cent. Potato production fell
8 per cent while sweet pota
toes jumped 20 per cent.
The department estimated
fho value of the corn crop at
S3.923.228.000. up sli g h 1 1
from the revised value of
S3 90H.2 17.000 for the 1961
