Some grim spots nonetheless mar the glowing predictions. The nation's harvest of oats will plummet 24% below last year's, to 499 million bu.-the lowest level in 95 years-and the output of barley will drop 19%, to 311 million bu. Part of the reason is that the largest oats- and barley-producing states are bedeviled by drought. Most agricultural counties in the Dakotas, Wisconsin and Minnesota are critically dry; many have been declared disaster areas. The situation is so bad for farmers, says Agronomist Howard Wilkins of North Dakota State University, that "Santa Claus...
...populist community of the air -using many CB sets with illegally high power output-has overflowed the banks of its 23 federally assigned channels, filling the air with errant electromagnetic waves. Complaints from TV, radio and even stereo users are flooding Federal Communications Commission offices across the land. Some vigilantes with axes and sledges have invaded base stations (home-based CB transmitters) to smash offending sets...
...after most of the 1975 crop had been harvested, so it did not cut exports immediately, but now the impact of the shortage has hit. It will continue to be felt for quite a while too, since newly planted coffee trees take three years to come into production, and output in other countries, such as Colombia, cannot make up for the losses in Brazil...
...booming at the same time. Today the recovery is sufficiently uneven-Britain and Italy are notable laggards-to prevent the kind of frantic scramble for raw materials that went on three years ago. In addition, many commodity producers are still operating well below capacity and have room to expand output to fill demand. For example, production in copper-mining countries has been running about 15% below normal levels for more than a year...
...have the Swiss done it? Partly -and paradoxically-by going through a recession that, according to some measures, was the worst in any industrialized nation. Switzerland's real output of goods and services last year dropped 7%,* compared with declines of 2% in the U.S. and 2.5% in the nine-nation European Community. This year real gross national product is expected to rise about 2% in Switzerland, v. 6% or more in the U.S., West Germany and France. Bankruptcies have increased, and some of the country's largest companies, including Alusuisse (aluminum) and Société Suisse...
