In Marshall county, Mich., farmers made an average of $1,114 more net income when working with a township agent; Farmers in these townships keep accurate records, know when, how much and what kind of fertilizers to apply, and yields have gone up steadily. They practice minimum tillage, use chemicals to control weeds and save moisture, improve timing of work, better farm shops for winter work, cut costs in buying, help in marketing, build volume in dairying, cut overpayments of income tax, fix legal agreements on which son gets the farm, and generally improve and modernize their farm methods. • • • » Getting Results A friend of ours hurried in this morning to cancel a house-for-rent ad he placed in the newspaper last night —he had rented the apartment, and had eight additional calls from interested persons, six of whom actually went out to look over the place.

Wheat Carryover To Reach Record High WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Agriculture Department today estimated the wheat carryover on July 1 will rise to a record 1,285,000,000 bushels, and will shoot up another 200 million bushels next year. The department's publication, “The Wheat Situation,” accounted for the carryover increase by July 1, 1960, by assuming a 1959-60 crop of 1,210,000,000 bushels, imports of about 8,000,000 bushels, and domestic and foreign consumption of 1,025,000,000 bushels. The department said wheat and wheat flour exports; this year are running heavier than expected earlier. The total for 1958-59 is expected to reach 450 million bushels..about 4Oiillton imhels above last year but far short of the 195657 record of 550 million bushels. The use of wheat for food and feed is increasing this year, the department said. It estimated total domestic consumption at 619 million bushels compared with 587,500,000 bushels last year. Per capita consumption of wheat in 1958, after declining every year since 1946, was unchanged from a year earlier at 167 pounds. This is only a little more than half the 315 pounds consumed a half century ago. In 1945, the wheat consumption per person was 230 pounds. Terre Haute family Wiped Out By Fumes TERRE HAUTE, Ind.

Cite Break Causes In Transatlantic Cables

Sperm whales, draging boat anchors, marine termites and corrosion were cited today as the most common cause of breaks in the Transatlantic cables that link North America with Europe. Among the cables damaged recently was the world’s first transoceanic telephone cable which was completed three years ago at a cost of 40 million dollars. A number of other cables stretch across the Atlantic floor, but these are for telegraphic communication only. Four of 10. owned by Western Union alsfl were damaged recently. The voice cable laid by American Telephone and Telegraph Co. under an agreement with Canadian and British companies introduced the first vocal communication system between Europe and North America which did not depend on radio signals which were sometimes spotty. Two-Way Communication The voice cable consists of an inner core of flexible copper tube about five-eighths of an inch in diameter. It is insulated by polyethelene and strengthened by copper foil, jute and steel armor wire. The cable is an inch and one-half in diameter. The voice cable is a double cable allowing two-way communication. The telegraphic cables are about the same size. The first Transatlantic telegraphic cable was laid in 1858 from Ireland to Newfoundland. When breaks occur in submarine cables they can be located fairly accurately by an electrical resistance formula used to figure the distance of the break from the shore point. The damaged section of the cable is then fished up with grapple hooks and repaired or

t , ■ spliced. Sperm whales, which dive deep 1 to feed on the ocean bottom, have : been known to break a cable while searching for octopi. Other ' cable damage has been caused ' by the ocean floor shifting, bor- ’ ing maHne animals and corro--1 sion. A Canadian expert said one of 1 the chief causes of cable breaks 1 is the dragging of a ship’s anchor ’ across the cable. However, he the break in the voice cable considered by the Canadian e a s Telecommunications ’ Corp, nothing more than "a rou--1 tine break.” , The break is in comparatively ’ shallow water at 1,000 feet. The cable descends in mid Atlantic to ' a depth of two and one - half '■ miles at one point It crosses the 1 Atlantic from Newfoundland to Scotland. A fix in the voice cable Is ex--1 pected over the weekend. Two 1 cable repair ships are enroute to 1 mend the breaks in all the dam- ’ aged cables. ! Trade in a gooa town — Decatur., : . 21 1
