...marketing dilemma. Half of last year's crop-8,000 bu.-is still in storage on the family farm. This year the Ericksons cut back their planting by 200 acres but were still forced to spend $3,000 for an additional, 6,000-bu. storage bin. Says the younger Erickson: "We had too good a year. Last year there was too much wheat. Now there's too much of everything...

...younger viewers the film is a revelation. The school system in West Germany after the war either disregarded the Hitler period altogether or raced through it. Said one youth after seeing the movie: "Now I can understand why something like that was possible. In school we studied history only up to World War I." In a recent poll conducted by the illustrated weekly Quick, a majority placed the blame for the war, the extermination of the Jews and the stifling of dissent during the Third Reich on Hitler, but only about 20% condemned his policies totally.
