LOUIS 3, MISSOURI Makers of GROVE 5 COLD TABLETS Iowa Man Wins Farming Award John Oeser Voted ‘Typical Midwest Farmer’ of 1945 at Festival in Yankton, S. D. “The Typical Midwest Farmer” award for 1945 was conferred upon John Oeser of Westside, Iowa. The presentation was made on Labor Day at Yankton, S. D., before a crowd of 70,000 people who had gath ered for the annual “WNAX Mid- West Farmer Day.” The recognition of the “typical farmer” was inaugu rated in 1942 as a means of honor ing outstanding war production on the land. Radio station WNAX and the American Broadcasting com pany sponsored the festivities, in co operation with the U. S. navy. Each of the five mid-western states, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, N. Dakota and S. Dakota nomi nated a “typical farmer,” meaning an outstanding one, and sent him to Yankton, S. D., for the contest. John Oeser was chosen, not alone for a remarkable production record, but because of his leadership in war and community activities. The four runners-up, representing four states, were also heaped with honors and valuable prizes. Festivities opened with an Indian ceremonial staged on the bank of the Missouri river. Indians in full regalia played native music and staged Sioux dances. They also took part in the mile-long parade which was lead by the Great Lakes naval training station band. The whole day’s program was planned to honor John Oeser. The 1945 winner, who is 58 years old, was born on his Westside, Iowa, farm. As a boy he made a deathbed promise to his father to always keep the land, which his father as a pi oneer emigrant from Germany had plowed for the first time in the world’s history. Father of Eight. Oeser has eight children. The only son of military age is a technical sergeant with the marine corps, now in the South Pacific. Two daughters are graduate nurses. Since the son joined the service, Oeser has been handling all the work on his 160-acre farm with the help of two younger sons, 13 and 10 years old. His community record reveals that he has been a director in the Farm bureau, member of the school board, chairman of drives for the Red Cross, USO, salvage, and bond sales. His average corn yield in 1944 was 96 bushels per acre, with one field over 100 bushels per acre. In 1943 his average was 98 bushels per acre. His oats average over .60 bushels Mr. and Mrs. John Oeser of Westside, Iowa, will be guests of Presi dent and Mrs. Truman this winter. Oeser was chosen “Typical Midwest Farmer ol 1945” in a five-state competition in Yankton, S. D., on Labor Day. The Oesers were given an all-expense tour, escorted, to Washing ton, D C., a tractor, Victory bonds, and checks for complete wardrobes. Mrs. Oeser was presented with a wrist watch.

By NANCY PEPPER Mr. and Mrs. ‘Typical Midwest Farmer of ’45 Industrial Research Laboratories Shaping Future of ‘American Way’ New Products, Processes Mean Jobs, Better Living Jobs, incomes and more, better and cheaper goods and services for the new era which America is now entering will depend to a large ex tent upon scientific research. The radio, television, chemical, plastic, automobile and many other indus tries are direct tangible benefits of industrial research. The television industry, for example, has spent more than 20 million dollars on re search and it is expected to pro vide for more than 350,000 new jobs which never existed before. Other new products and services which may be expected now in clude : Aviation type gasoline for automo biles at no extra cost. Factory made houses with stand ardized parts but put together ac cording to the owner’s design. Moth-resistant and non-shrinkable wool fabrics treated at the factory with special chemicals. Transparent window screens that will roll up like a shade. Windows of polarized glass through which the flow of light can be regulated by turning a button. Sulfa drugs, penicillin and other new healing aids, plentiful and at costs than can be met by all. Thousands of familiar prewar achievements will be obsolete. Auto mobiles, radios, washing machines, refrigerators and similar products will be so greatly' improved that customers will want the new prod ucts even though their old ones are not worn out. This will provide thousands of new jobs in existing industries in addition to those cre ated by new industries. ‘Atomic Age’ Coming. American industry engages not only in applied research but con tributes heavily to fundamertal re search — pioneering new knowledge in chemistry, physics and other sci ences. “Atomic bombs would not have been possible except for the experi mentation in atom smashing to which industrial corporations con tributed funds, talent and new tech nological equipment over a period of several years. The application of atomic energy to peacetime prod ucts will come eventually. Between the two World Wars, in dustrial research in the United States grew almost tenfold, from an expenditure of 2.9 million dollars in 1920 to 23.4 million dollars in 1940, While indications point to industrial research growing faster in the next decade than ever before, the shortage of technical personnel to staff laboratories will be a serious handicap. Availability of funds will be an other important factor in the growth of research. Decline in income from endowments has made educational and research foundations increas ingly dependent upon contributions by industry. per acre. He raised 125 to 160 head of hogs each year. Over half of Boone oats grown in his county can be traced to him His farm was chos en for the state corn yield test plot in 1942-’43 and ’44. In 1943 and ’44 he had the second highest average yield in his state. Good pasture of clover, bromegrass and alfalfa are pro vided for his cattle, hogs and horses. About half of his farm is kept in pasture and hay. In 1942, he marketed 142 head of hogs, 10 head of beef cattle and approximately 1,- 400 pounds of butterfat. They now have 170 hogs, 36 head of cattle, and 700 layers and chickens. They also have two large gardens. In 1945 he had 17 litters of porkers, with an average of 8 thrifty, fast-grow ing porkers. Five Year Rotation Plan. The land has been limed, and he has a five year crop rotation plan, that was laid out by the Soil Con servation service, in operation. He and his wife and three younger children carried on a well balanced livestock and grain program despite wartime handicaps of insufficient labor.

His county extension director said, “In my 32 years of agricultural ex tension work I know of no one more entitled to the title of being the “Typical Farmer.” I am thinking of a lot of real folks whom it is a pleasure to know and work with. I feel sure he is tops on our list and well worthy of all honors that can be given him.” ft WHY DO YOU LOVE THAT VAN? Now that the Van Johnson hys- leria is sweeping the country like the Sinatra tidal wave, we want to know the whys and wherefores. When people asked us what you saw in Frankie to bring on the swoons and squeals, we could only shrug helplessly and say, “We, too.” Well, we’ve asked the 1,800 teenagers who act as “Hi Style Scouts” for Calling All Girls if they’re swooning over Van and why. Now, just let somebody ask ns about this new crush and we’re ready with all the answers. “He looks like the boy next door— not like a movie glamour boy.” (Don’t you wish you lived on that girl’s block?) “The way he takes a girl in his arms and kisses her.” (Now we’re getting somewhere.) “His cute, squeaky voice.” (Well, what’s the matter with Mickey Mouse?) “His divine build, his boyish smile; his red hair.” (Three good reasons.) “He’s sweet and shy, when the occasion demands, he can be so-o-o masterful.” (Did you sit through his last picture three times just waiting for these “occasions”?) “He doesn’t act as if he were act ing.” (Then what does M.G.M. pay him for, anyway?) “Are yon kidding? He’s positive ly gorgeous.” (That seems to sum up the whole situation.) DAFFYNITIONS WARRIOR—A gal who uses too much dazzle dust and pucker paint. IT PUCKERS ME—It makes me mad.
