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.

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.

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.
During 1942 and ’43 he complete
ly modernized his home by install
ing running water, bathroom, elec
tric lights, refrigerator, radio, sep
tic tank, new tile smoke house, elec
tric washing machine. The home
has a fine, well-kept lawn, and an
evergreen wind-break. This family
was recently awarded a Victory ci
tation.
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.”

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.)

“The .lice,” don’t you, and Dick
Haymes “The Throat”? Well—
VANNY—Wonderful. And in case
you don’t know why, just take an
other look at those love scenes in
“Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo.”
C. O. D.—Crush on a Drip.
SLURPY—Droolsome.
TRIXIE TEEN SAYS—
“Care in the summer—fair in the fall"—
that’s my motto and I won’t be stuck with
it. Sure, it’s fine to fry to a frazzle in the
sun all day—but a little creaming every
night will help to preserve that peach skin
complexion underneath the tan. And, un
less you want to be wearing your hair
Parched in the middle this fall, you’d bet
ter protect it from sun and sea with nightly
brushings and weekly shampoos. Girls who
fall apart over the summer have a hard
time putting the pieces together in time for
school opening. And, like the Last Rose of
Summer, they’re apt to be left Blooming
Alone when the bell rings.
