West Still Man's Country From A Farming Standpoint A l-T XT in WASHINGTON, July 19 From a farming standpoint, the West is still a man' country. A sample survey of farm ownership by the agriculture department discloses thsit women constitute a smaller percentage of farm owners in the west than in any other section. In Nevada, only two percent of farm owners arc women anil they own only throe-tenths of one percent of the furm acreage In that state. This percentage of women owners In the smallest In the nation and compares with 17.1 highest Nebraska. Closest approach to the Nebraska figure among the western states is Colorado, where 15.2 pcr- i- cent of farm owners are women.

In Idaho, women own 12.7 percent of the farms; in Arizona, 12.1 percent. William H. Fippin of the bureau of agricultural economics, who has been analyzing the figures, aays there is no definite explana- tion for the low percentage of women owners in the west. There is, however, a possible explanation in phases of the survey not yet tabulated and ana- Jyzed. These may show that the age of western farmers is lower than those of other sections and that there has been less transferto Women by inheritance.

Another possible explanation is that there is a larger number of men in the total population of the western states and that the liome- stoading laws attracted more men than women as farming pioneers. I The preference now given war I veterans in acquiring new recla- Imation farms would follow the Jtrend of predominant male own- The figures show that 46 percent of the women owners of farms operate.all the land own. A higher percentage of operators is found only In northeast. The survey revealed that the average acreage owned by western farm women was held by those In the 45-54 age group acres. As the age of wo- men owners advanced, the acreage held fell off.

On the other hand, men owners the 65-7-1 group hold the larg- it average acreage, 520. In the nation as a whole, the acreage is reached by women of the i-64 age group and men of the 5-5i group. Over the nation, women repre- nt about 10 percent of the farm fwnersj. In the west, this is ex- eeded only by Colorado, Idnho Arizona. The other states are ielow the national figure: Cali- loraia, 9.1 percent; Montana, 7.7 the average for the section down to 8.7 percent.

In the country as a whole, women own about 8 percent of the farm acreage. In the west they own only 5.5 percent. The average number of acres owned by women is 176, compard with 243 for men. In the west it is 257 with 422. Checks To 2 Counties $2,460.48 For Sioux While Dawes Gets Of $1,930.

Checks for $2,460.48 for Sioux county and $1,930 for Dawes county, Nebraska, have been sent to the counties by the U. S. Treasury as payments in lieu of 1946 taxes on land administered by the U. S. Soil Conservation Service, it is announced by A.

E. McClymonds of Lincoln, Nebraska, regional conservator for the Soil Conserva- Open the Door, tion Service. Mailing of such checks, McClymonds was notified, was begun in August. The money amounts to 25 percent of the gross receipts during 1946. The payments, he continued, arc double those of the previous year and bring to on those ew Mexico, 7.1; Washington, 1.2; Utah, 7.8; Oregon, 6.3; Wyo- ling.

5.9 and Nevada, 2, bringing Ice On Winter Uloud Does No Good WASHINGTON, July 19. pn't waste yaur dry ice on e. Hnter the rain that might fesult won't be worth the effort. 1 That's the advice of the Weath- Bureau, summing up a winter- Ing series of experiments which pme scientists thought might pint the way to turning vast areas into lush crop lands. IA similar set of summer-time sts is underway now.

Not until ley are finished will the Weath Bureau be willing to say hether there is any hope left. as for those already comletecl: so far tried are quite in producing rain from Inter type stratus clouds. No Tpreciable amountsh of precipi- Ition were observed unless it Fis raining or snowing naturally piewhere within 30 miles'of the sated clouds. Even when pre- litation was produced, it was little to be tance. of economic im- 394.64 the total paid lands since 1938.

Lands for which the payments are made, McClymonds explained, are those tlint were bought a decade ago in the Federal government's subrnarginal land purchase program. They w'ero made part of a land Utilization Project, where the Soil Conservation Service is cooperating with the local people to use Federal and other lands to develop stable, family-sized livestock units and show the benefits of good land use. The Soil Conservation Service, he continued, reseedcd abandoned cropland to grass, developed needed water supplies and fences. Then it leased the lands for a term of ten years to the Pine Ridge and Sugarloaf Soil Conservation Districts. The boards of supervisors used these and other leased lands to help stockmen in the project round their livestock units.

Soil Conservation Service technicians give technical aid to the supervisors in managing the lands. Since.their purchase by the Fecl- a 1 government. McClymonds added, there has been a steady increase in the number of livestock the lands could support, and a resulting gain in the returns to the counties. The rise in production, he said, is due partly to better climatic conditions, partly to improvements on the land and proper grazing management. An increase in grazing; fees this year will result in higher returns to counties from these lands next i year.

I The lands administered by the Soil Conservation Service, McCly- monda said, are principally unsuited for farming, although they had at one time been settled and a considerable acreage broken out for crops. At the time they were bought by the Federal government, some had been abondoned and some remaining residents were finding it difficult to make a living. Lease money from the Federal lands is paid to the U. S. Treasury, which also handles the payments to the counties.

These payments are made under a Federal statute that appropriates one-fourth of the gross earnings of such Federal lands to the counties where they are- located for use on roads and schools. Distribution of the money between roads and schools and to localities is up to the people. Exhibit which bailiff Robert Anderson is carrying into Chicago's Circuit Court, backfired on the defendant. Benjamin Karns brought the door to court to disprove his divorced wife's claim that he had kicked it in, thus violating an injunction not to molest her. When the judge discovered a loose panel, Karns went to the cooler for 20 days, with the door shut behind him.

Fred Sasek. Things You Didn't Know About Beards Abraham Lincoln loved to experiment with his beard growing. He was constantly shaving his whiskers off and growing them back on again in a different style. That's why creating a Lincoln.ap- pearance for the screen causes people like Hollywood's wig-and- beard expert, Fred Fredericks of Max Factor's make-up studio so much trouble. They have to do a lot of research to find out what the Great Emancipator's beard scheme was on such-and-such a date.

Film Director Michael Curtiz always favors artificial whiskers for actors who do bearded character parts in his productions. He claims real beards seldom look as legitimate as the carefully-styled ones applied by the make-up department. Director Mitch Leisen, on the other hand, demands the growing of real beards, whenever possible, for the pictures which he directs. Silent Shaver When Stalin is shaved, his barber is under orders not to talk. This is the only merit of the communist dictatorship which we have yet observed.

Edward Arnold's face has the largest area of beard to shave of any actor in Hollywood. If a man let. his beard grow a lifetime, it would be approximately 105 inches long at the time of his death. If you don't believe your columnist knows what he's talking about, try it sometime and No Goat, He "Buffalo Bill" Cody once engaged a man in a duel because the heckler claimed he looked like a goat with his tiny chin beard. Barbers average 250 razor strokes to the shave.

And, if you want a super-smooth shave at home, try applying olive or castor oil to your face before its final lathering. Bob Hope and Wally Beery are ambidextrous shavers who can cut their whiskers and nick their chins with either hand. OPEN 1 and Jos eph F.
