A UD survey of 12 counties shows seven increased output mainly by more land use, while irrigating marginal areas remains limited. FAO aims to adapt Great Plains practices to drier regions amid scarce water. Louisville AP notes 18-year-old Mike Rogers moved and reassembled a large pipe organ in Ashland, guided by a library book and local tips.

Americans Spend at Torrid Pace, Says AP Report
Americans keep spending at a torrid pace despite higher taxes and inflation. Detroit reports Aug 1–10 auto sales set a record at 197,110 passenger cars, up 8.5 percent from last August and 3.8 percent from 1966’s early August record. July retail sales hit a record $29.06 billion, up 3 percent from June and 10 percent from July 1967. Personal income rose in July to a record annual rate of $689.2 billion. Industrial orders and production showed mixed signals as inventories lagged behind sales. The U.S. Treasury set a 2.5 percent duty on French goods beginning Sept. 1 to offset subsidized prices. Steel output declined for the seventh straight week to 2,068,000 tons. Howard Hughes moved to buy Air West for over $81 million, with executives split on the offer.
