...MESS ON THE FARM. Despite his proud proclamations of expertise in agriculture (he devoted more speeches to crop yield, fertilizer and seed bulls than any 20 national leaders), Khrushchev's farm programs were disastrous.

Newly developed pickers that enable 13 men to do the job of 60 harvested 10% of the California tomato crop this year. A Salinas firm has just started making a phrenological lettuce picker-it feels each head to determine if it is ripe-invented by agricultural engineers at the University of California. Other promising machines: a contraption that shakes peaches off trees into an inverted canvas umbrella, one that picks...
