Wayne Elsen and Robert Koester of the Soil Conservation Service discuss terrace redesign on the Elsen farm. Old terraces with steep sides and sharp corners are being replaced with flat channels and larger, straighter cut and fill designs. The updated layout increases water holding capacity and erosion protection.

Stabilization Of Flour Use Signals Wheat Industry Hope
The Nebraska Wheat Division notes a six year span with little change in per capita flour consumption, ranging 112 to 114 pounds. 1968 and 1967 each stood at 113 pounds, marking the longest stabilization in the 20th century and guiding higher total domestic flour use due to population growth. Total U S flour use rose by 1,922,000 hundredweights in 1968, with continued gains over six years.

The exhibit features butter statuary showing a working man and an upper class businessman collaborating in reconstruction.
