Production of all food grains set a new record more than 37 million tons. During the harvest season, farmers worked night and day, frequently w'ith multiple crews and machines, as shown here, to save the precious grain.

An early spring sent crops off to a flying start Ideal conditions, illustrated m this summer scene on a New' England farm, often helped the farmer at critical times, such as haying and grain harvest. Little wheat was lost because of wet weather during harvest or after, but sudden ripening of grain over large areas produced more grain at one time than elevators or railroads could handle Drouth did strike some areas, notable New Mexico and Arizona, and prolonged rain interfered with planting of grain sorghums. The weather wasnt perfect, but it was generally better than 1945 and proved a big factor in a record crop. 1 C GOOD BIG BUYERS. and good Record produc-tio- n In some sections of the corn belt, hybrids were planted on 100 per cent of the acreage, boosting Iowas corn yield to a phenomenal 61 bushels per acre. Better varieties of other crops, developed by agricultural scientists, helped push production to new records. Improved fertilizers and new cultural methods also boosted yields. 4 war-limite- d Mans Best Friend Causes Most Farm Accidents disclosed that 38,700 farmers were killed at work during the period.

William Bullitt tried in a book (already mentioned in these columns) to show that Russias dreams of empire are nothing new, that the Soviets are merely taking up where the Czars left off.
