Nov. 12. Is Long Underwear Week Cozy Pantaloon Is Rich In Tradition CHICAGO (UP)—National lops underwear week will be obaerved the week of Nov. 12, when the frost ds on the pumpkin and the chill fa on the shanks. The underwear industry, at least feels that the “week” is long overdue —about WO years. For "long Johns,” currently coming out of mothballs in the nation's homes, have more than warmth and manly style to endear them to the male. The coy pantaloon is threaded with proud history. » The 11th Century French inadvertently started the vogue when they conquered the Saxons in 1068. The Normans wore tunics and set out to impose them on the vanquished Saxons. The Saxons, whose preference was tor breeches, took to donning the tunic over their breeches. The result: Underwear. This was progress, for until then underwear if worn it all amounted to nothing more than a loin doth. But it took all of six centuries for man to rebel against the nuisance of underwear legs crawling up to his knees. One rebellious wearer twirled "stirrups” around the instep, and styld won another vhtory for comfort. A'he 18th Century dandies added complete feet to their underwear 'and even padded their scrawny calves with “falsies” to show h shapely leg during spirited mlnuets. The drop seat came into its own with the one-piece union suit of the Victorian era. But thi* trap-door monstrosity wue relegated to oblivion around 1910. , r History repeats itself, and today’s "longles” have reverted to the two-piece style. Some moderns may think long underwear is Just about extinct.

Record Soybean Crop Reported For Nation

The 1956 soybean erop ot 470 million buzhels te one-fourth larger than last year's crop and 85 percent above the ten-year average. The October 1 government soybean crop report estimates the average yield per acre for the nation at 82.4 bushels, which is also a record yield. The highest previous yield was 22.3 bushels in 1942. September was generally favorable for growth and maturing of soybeans over much of the main soybean area and in the eastern coastal states. Drought continued in the western fringe states from Nebraska south into Kansas and Oklahoma where yields are very low. The small acreage in Texas is mostly Irrigated and yields are high. Frost around September 2021 in the northern areas caused little damage as the crop was generally well along to maturity. Yields are high in the North Central states, especially in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Minnesota, where record yields are being harvested. Growing conditions in the North and South Atlantic areas have been good and practically all those states Report higher yields than a year ago. Harvesting is just

but industry figures show otherwise. According to R. Y. Cooper, president of Cooper’s Inc., the industry sold 279,000 dozen pairs in 1947, and in 1956 expects to sell 750,000. Cooper said farmers and sportsmen wear them, and so do a lot of suburbanites. The man in the grey flannel suit is often a long-flannel man, too, at least on weekend jaunts or hunting trips.

getting started in these Atlantic areas, and is only about 25 percent finished in the Mississippi Delta states. Illinois reads <ll states in soybean production with a crop this year of 135 million bushels and a state yield of 28.5 bushels per acre. This is the highest average yield any state has ever produced. Ohio and Indiana have average yields of 25 bushels per acre. Wet weather last spring gave the crop a poor start here in Northeastern Indiana which results in only average yields on farm is Adams and surrounding counties. The harvesting season has been ideal for getting the crop out of the fields and harvesting is about completed in all of the Midwest states. Moisture in the beans has been low and the quality high. The large storage bins here at the plant ot the Central Soya company are almost tilled and plans are under way to again pile possibly a million bushels on the ground. Adams county farmers are harvesting a soybean crop of some 40,000 acres worth about two million dollars. The total Indiana crop is estimated at 54 million bushels, which is. more than the total production for the United States 20 years ago.
