Although the U. 8S. has had two bumper crops, export demands have drawn wheat out of the mills faster than the farms can replace it. Nations "on relief" are asking 25 to 30 per cent more wheat than UNRRA had planned for. Countries that buy our wheat have increased their import requests similarly.

Harry C. Ingles, above, helped supervise the extraordinary feat of establishing radar contact with the moon, achieved by Army Signal Corps scientists from the Evans Signal Laboratory at Belmar, N. J. 238,857 Miles Distant Using specially-designed equip- ment, pulses of extremely high fre- quency energy were shot into space at'the speed of light--186,000 miles a second--and the echoes detected some 2 1-2 seconds later. The moon is about 238,857 miles distant, on the average, as both it and the earth move around tha sun, ; - "The Guard Corps experiments Lave valuable peacetime as well ag wartime applications, although if is impossible at this stage to: pre- dict with certainty what these will be", the War Department said.
