Steel Industry On Spending Spree The iron and steel industry is increasing its total expenditures expendit-ures for modernization and expansion ex-pansion more rapidly than the aggregate of other manufactur-i ing and mining industries combined, com-bined, according to the American Iron and Steel Industry Institute. Instit-ute. This fact is established from a comparison of the steel industry's in-dustry's proposed expenditures for 1948 and its outlays in 1946 and 1947 with similar data collected col-lected by the Department of Commerce for those years In all industries. new facilities by iron and steel companies and by other manu facturing and mining concerns generally parallel one another, iron and steel expenditures in 1947 registered the greater gain over 1939. The same holds true in a comparison with 1940 or 1946. The margin for iron and steel producers is being widen ed still further in 1948. Manufacturing and mining industries as a whole plan to spend $8,450,000,000 . on new plants and equipment this year, according to the Office of Business Bus-iness Economics, Department of Commerce, or 3.7 percent more than last year. This total includes in-cludes the iron and steel com- Although expenditures for panies. Planned expenditures of the latter group alone, how ' ... ever are nearly it per cent greater than last year. The tot al of $565,000,000 in 1948 for iron and steel, as now planned will easily establish a new record. rec-ord. Planned expenditures for 1948 show gains over 1947 of nearly 14 per cent for iron and steel and 3.7 per cent for all oiher industries. The curent heavy modernization modernizat-ion and expansion program of iron and steel companies are particularly important because they follow closely after the high level of expenditures for new facilities during the war.

Out in the prairie prai-rie states farmers have planted more than 300 million trees in 15 years. These are the states where settlers once complained there was nothing but a barbed wire fence to break mile-a-mlnute winds from the North Pole. Now, says Louis P. Merrill, regional re-gional soil conservation director for Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma, the interest in tree windbreaks wind-breaks "is greater and keener in many localities than ever before," Blinding dust storms in many of the plains states have emphasized the need for more trees. The Abilene, Tex., Reporter-News says its area Is undergoing the most prolonged drouth in 30 years. The four-year rain deficiency since 1944 is almost as great as a normal year's fall of 25.17 inches. Harry Holt, the Reporter-News' farm editor, says that other parts of the Southwest are even drier. Irrigation projects have failed. Farmers had a difficult time planting plant-ing wheat In west Texas. $he drouth has forced livestock off some ranges until only half the normal number remain. rarmerg ureaa storms Large sections have been swept by roaring, choking sandstorms. Farmers and city people alike dread them. They are an awesome phenomenon. phe-nomenon. When sandstorms .become .be-come prolonged and severe, a "dust bowl" develops. ( Some farmers hope the trees are insurance against this "dust bowl" threat. They remember the '30' s when whole sections were made as barren as the Sahara. Some want trees for wind-breaks to protect growing crops even when there's no threat of sandstorms. Some just want to look at trees. The popular conception of the "shelterbelt project" as a wall of trees from Mexico to Canada was a product of imagination born in "dust bowl" days, says Merrill No one in authority ever thought of the project that way. The "windbreak" plan a term preferred by conservation authori tiesas part of a coordinated soil- conservation program has spread to the Rio Grande valley in Texas, northeastern Arkansas and the gulf coast prairie region of Texas and Louisiana. Plan Includes California The plan has reached even to California, where citrus growers have established 2,000 miles of protective pro-tective plantings for their orchards, and to Wisconsin, which has nearly 6,000 miles of such plantings. No signs of a continuous shelter-belt shelter-belt have appeared across the nation. na-tion. Tree planting has been a matter mat-ter for individual farmers. In some cases, efforts have been made to place the program on a conservation district basis. Generally the projects are a success, suc-cess, according to farmers. But, in some areas, notably that around Lubbock, Tex., the program has been abandoned. Dry weather, insects and diseases have done away with most of the trees. Talks with farmers and conservation conser-vation men show that the program, while practical, has put more money in the farmer's pocket, but wind-breaks certainly are no cure-all. cure-all. ' Says Merrill: "The planting of tree wind-breaks Is one practice of many used for control of wind erosion eros-ion in localities to which they are adapted." j Ti-actor Safety Depends on Easy rjj. . . m - . : i; ....... few "No more back-breaking tractor rides!" savs Phillm n c shop foreman in the Agricultural Engineering Department of Put?''

Relief from the "rough-riding" discomforts discom-forts farmers suffer while driving a tractor over bumpy fields every day is essential not only to more efficient farming, but is also a major factor in reducing farm accidents, according to a recent statement by Donald SI. Kinch, assistant professor of Agricultural Agricul-tural Engineering at Purdue University. - Casing his opinion on a recent tractor operators comfort survey conducted by the Society of Automotive Auto-motive Engineers which revealed that the percentage of time tractor trac-tor drivers sit on the seats of their machines ranged from a high of 99 per cent on one make of tractor to a low of 65 per cent on another model, Mr. Kinch declared: "Standing on tractors while driving is extremely hazardous. Recent reports show that a majority major-ity of farm accidents involve falls from machinery, particularly tractors.
