big volume included improvements
in crop varieties, increased use of
fertilizers, expansion of irrigated
acreage, and advances in control

In this year's harvest, the only
major crops produced in less than
average volume were wheat, dry

" Shivers, who rejected Adlai Sie

he could never support Stevenson.
He said at a news Conference
yesterday that Stevenson was "the
ultimate" among Democrats who
have "sought to impose their own
ideas of the party" rather than
advocate its traditional beliefs.
Shivers said that the Americans
