In These United WaL 3ilteJ States Utah Has Set 1947 as Year For Centennial Celebration Picture a town of 300 people around which is grown and through which is marketed 400 carloads of rutabagas per year. Most farmers in the community grow at least a half acre; some as many as 40 acres, depending on the prospective market. Eight tons per acre is a good yield. Price sometimes goes to $40 a ton, but Is more likely to be around $20. Rutabagas fit well In the community's dairy farming rotation, soil variations and family unit farming. They thrive in soil too heavy for potatoes, and farmers who are growing them say, "you can't beat 'bagas'for a cash crop." So well is the crop liked that, before the war, Askov staged annual rutabaga festivals, which likely will be resumed this year.

'Athlete's Foot' WASHINGTON, D. C. - The i de- partment of agriculture scientists started out to find a way to battle troublesome tomato plant "wilt." r They discovered a chemical called "tomatin" which combats the wilt. But they discovered something else, although they insist it is still "in the test tube stage." Tomatin will combat fungus organisms which plague human beings, and may be the source-- of a new drug to fight "athlete's foot!" They have found it powerfully active against the widely prevalent ringworm fungi which often attacks the feet, hands, face and scalp. 'vi Xl THE SEMiSEL . . .

Sturgeon Bay, Wis., is proud of the fact that its airport is suitable for planes as big as the DC-. . . Mrs. Mary Longcor, age 85, wrote cards to her friends and took notes for her diary while she flew from her home in South Bend, Ind., to Cleveland, Ohio her first trip by plane. . . . The Champion Wright flying service, municipal airport, Oxford, Miss., has been approved for veterans' flight training. . . . Franklin, N. C, has taken to flying in a big way, and even the local dentist and the telephone man and a dozen others have learned to solo. At an air show at Easton, Md., recently, Norman Harrington began a series of flight lessons early one Saturday morning and was ready for solo flight at three o'clock that afternoon. It was a stunt, of course, to show how easy it is to learn to fly. Hank Orth, Maryland Airlines' pilot, was the instructor. ... Plane Keeps 'em on Farm The private airplane should help to stop the decline of our farm population, believes Harry Woodhead, president of Consolidated Vultee. He points out, for one thing, that farm boys are going to have an advantage over most city boys in readier access to the use of a plane. This fact should keep many young fellows at home. Their sisters will be able to get an order delivered by air express from a catalogue in two days as fast as most city folks can get a delivery from a local department store. That will help farm life, too. Equally important, the plane will put the city and distant friends in easy reach of every farmer's family it will add an entirely new social dimension to rural living. h W 8043 32-4- 6 Midriff Frock.
