Air Streams Are
Rated A Mystery
The Navy has undertaken an in
vestigation of the ghost rivers of
air which were first discovered
during World War II. These
streams of air, which move several
hundred miles an hour, have been
responsible for many strange ex

Timely Answers
What is the purpose of the an
nual State Farm Census?
The main purpose ol the State
Farm Census, now in its M4th
year, is to meet the local de
mand for annual county statistics
on agriculture m greater geo
graphic detail than has been pro
vided by any other service. The
Federal agricultural census does
not provide data by counties at
sufficiently frequent intervals to
meet the statistical needs of the
county and State agricultural
agencies, and other users of this
service
There is a strong demand for
agricultural statistics covering
farming operations on the county
level This information is re
quested and used by individuals,
j public agencies, and by local
groups as well as State and nat ,
ional organizations. The annual
collection of county farm facts
enables agricultural workers at
all levels to prepare effective
farm programs which are in the
interest of the farmers' welfare.
In a basically agricultural State
any improvement in the economic
well-being of farmers means an
improved economic status for all
other citizens as well.
The State Farm Census pro
vides the only satisfactory basis
for compiling reliable annual
county estimates of crop acreages
and other far mfacts. Thus the
increasing demand for annual
county estimates of the acreage
and production of all crops is
being met. The need for re
liable county estimates is especi
ally emphasized by acreage allot
ment arid control programs These
piograms can be more fairly ad
ministered where annual Farm
Census records are available.

Say North Pole
Moving Around
Dr.1*. Walter Munk and Roger
Revelle, of the Seripps Institution
of Oceanography, have eoneluded
that the North Pole moved about
10 feet toward Greenland between
1900 and 1925. Since Hint time,
however, they think it might have
retreated by a foot or two. This
inhumation will not revolution
ize the world, although it is inter
esting to note thid the two ocean
ographers believe that the amount
of water m the sen alters the dis
tribution of matter and mass in
our early planet.
In other words, thi theory is
that rises and falls in sea level
caused by melting ice on Green
land, oi perhaps melting Antare
tie ice caps, change the map of th
planets and lengthen the days and,
sometimes, move the poles.
One theory is that the poles, or
more“Voi rectlv, the lands under
them, have shifted greatly since
the earth was formed. The South
Pole is said to have been located
