...Since the oceans rotate with the earth, sea level follows the bulge. The Mississippi starts its journey 1,491 ft. above sea level at the latitudes of Minnesota. As it moves southward, its water feels more strongly the lifting effect of the earth's spin. Therefore, it can climb up the bulge, away from the earth's center. When it reaches the Gulf of Mexico, it meets the ocean, which has been raised to the same level by the same centrifugal force...
...surplus wheat, corn, cotton, cheese, etc., in federal storage adds up to such fantastic bulk that it costs nearly $1 billion a year just to store the stuff while it slowly deteriorates. And the costs threaten to climb higher as farm output keeps rising. Last week the Agriculture Department reported that, though planted acreage was the smallest since 1918, the U.S.'s total 1958 crop output topped by a startling 11% the previous record highs of 1948, 1956 and 1957. For wheat and corn, already in generous oversupply, farmers set new yield-per-acre records...

...Electronics will do better still, says Motorola Executive Vice President Edward R. Taylor, who forecasts a 13% gain in TV sets, another 9% gain in radios. Biggest jump: the new stereophonic sets, which will climb from 750,000 units in '58 to better than 3,000,000 next year...
...information will come from weather balloons launched every six hours and reported to seven main stations (Suitland, Md., New York City, Miami, San Juan, P.R., San Francisco, Honolulu and Anchorage, Alaska). Electronic instruments dangling under the balloons will report temperature and humidity at the various levels. As the balloons climb through the air layers, their motion will be tracked electronically, revealing the direction and speed of the high-altitude winds. At the National Weather Analysis Center at Suitland, the data will be digested, plotted on charts and sent by facsimile transmitters to airports across the country...
