...Lapthorn. The first prize was a gallon can of grain alcohol for making...
Virtually excused from taxation, the co-ops expanded enormously. The Farmers Union Grain Terminal Association of St. Paul, founded in 1938 with only $30,000 in capital, today has a net worth of more than $40 million, largely finances the powerful Farmers Union, which runs the propaganda machine behind the scandalous farm-subsidy program. F.U.G.T.A. pays no federal income tax. It holds 80% of its members' share of the profits until they quit farming or die. F.U.G.T.A. has not only expanded its own elevators and feed mills, but bought out privately owned, tax-paying businesses unable to compete. Since...
...lakehead's only full-time professional diver, Coghlan was checking the foundation of a grain elevator, a chore at which panicky operators have kept him since the collapse of Port Arthur's United Grain Growers' elevator last September. Five days last week, he was underwater for an hour morning and afternoon on the elevator job. "To break the monotony," he passed up the sure-thing $150-a-day fee on two of those days to look for - and find - a 1,800-lb. anchor lost by the government ice breaker Alexander Henry last fall. That treasure made...
...capita meat production by 1963. But this was less a boast than a retreat. This goal was originally supposed to have been achieved last year. The amount of meat the Soviets say they produced in 1959 was about half U.S. output. Furthermore, Kazakhstan's grain failure in 1959 cuts Soviet cattle breeding in 1960, and all but eliminates the chance that the Soviet Union can top last year's claimed gain in meat production...
...without opening up any new land, the world's food production could be vastly increased. In 1959, India spent over $300 million on food imports and resigned itself to importing 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 tons of grain a year for the "next several years." Yet there is no technological reason why India could not triple her grain production by matching Japanese crop yield per acre. The difference between Indian and Japanese agricultural productivity lies in the Japanese farmer's use of insecticides, better seed, and vastly more chemical fertilizer. If all the world employed...
