Two Czech Agricultural Engineers Tour Farms Two agricultural engineers from Czechoslovakia were a- mong guests at the meeting of the Chicago Farmers Club on July 19. Lad Ezr, with his wife, Vlasta, visited four different farms in McHenry county as guests of the club on July 20. Mr. and Mrs. Ezr, who man­ age an 11,200-acre communal farm in their homeland, ob­ served Bert Getz's beef farm ̂ T-LV> VAI ir*rr rvniilfrv farm, Arnold May's Hillview hog farms, and Harry Pierce's White Deer dairy farm. After looking over the mod­ ernized, automative agricultur­ al industry in McHenry county, Ezr said, through an interpre­ ter, "We need your technology and chemistry." The fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides used in many American farms are not found in Czechoslovakia. The Ezra need these products because, "We must produce the most crops in the least acreage." Americans, Ezr feels, will profit from expanding their farms into large production u- nits. "Giant farms will operate more easily here than in Czech­ oslovakia because of America's small population density and freedom of economy." Czechoslovakia's economy, he believes, has been strang- ^ Sat. 9-6 Sun. 10-5 Fsk jp A D a c r o n " - C o t t o n K n i t S k i r t s R a t e A - P l u s !

"The party leaders used to dictate what goods could be grown in what acres. Al­ though this repression has been somewhat lifted, we still are not allowed to work up to our capabilities." In an attempt to allow Czech- olovakia to work to her full potential, the Czech party lea­ ders tried to break away from >•"> Cnuint niic«ifln catollito ewo. tem. This bid for freedom af­ fected the Ezrs and their com­ munal workers as well as the residents of the cities into which Russian tanks rolled. "Our lea­ ders wanted us to prosper. This was intolerable to our Soviet overseers, so they marched up-, on us." Ezr explains. Ezr and his wife, both grad­ uates from the University of Prague, are in the United States for two months. "Maybe we'll spend more time if I can ar­ range it," he said with a laugh. "It is quite an experience for me to watch the superb Amer­ ican agriculture in operation." If Alaska's coastline could be stretched out into a straight line, it would reach completely around the world at the equa­ tor, with enough left over to reach from New York City to Tokyo, Japan.
