FARM HARVEST will be 9.5% higher than ever before, despite federal crop controls that cut back planting to smallest acreage in 40 years. Good weather and better growing methods will raise per-acre yield of corn from last year's 46.8 to 49 bu.; of wheat, from 21.7 to 27 bu.; of cotton, from...
...farmers raced to beat late summer hailstorms, a harvest that defied drought, dust storms and the dire predictions of experts was moving in a golden stream last week to Canada's bins and elevators. The new wheat crop, estimated at 340 million bu., will probably be the smallest in four years -down sharply from 1956-57's huge 573.1 million bu. But it is so much better than anyone thought possible in early summer that many a wheat-belt farmer said a quiet prayer of thanks for a narrow escape from disaster. Said one Saskatchewan Wheat Pool official...
SMALL STATION WAGON will roll out from American Motors this fall with same 100-in. wheelbase as smallest Rambler. Wagon will be about 3 ft. shorter than most other models. Price: roughly...
Still unnamed, it will be the smallest U.S.-built auto on the road: almost 3 ft. shorter (175¼ in. overall) than any Big Three car, 3 in. shorter than American Motors' Rambler, which has sold 104,677 cars this year. For customer appeal its design will have "a hint" of this year's Hawk sports car in its styling. For variety S.-P.'s "Model X" will come in four body styles, have a choice of V-8 or six-cylinder engines. Said President Harold Churchill: "I'm happy to see the Big Three coming...
Poorer Progeny. Much less uncertain are genetic effects. Said the report: "Exposure of gonads to even the smallest doses of ionizing radiations can give rise to mutant genes which accumulate, are transmissible to the progeny, and are considered to be, in general, harmful to the human race." Doubling the present human mutation rate would probably not lead to the race's extinction. But the scientists felt little doubt that any increase at all will lower the average of human intelligence and life expectancy...
