It wasn’t long before Zurfi
was completely confused. He
stopped and searched on his
on his map. He asked several
times at homes of Earth beings,
but soon afterwards he again
would be lost. And so it is that,
somewhere in the Corn Belt
is a lost, confused Alphecuan.
Probably his space ship went
olf the road and crashed and
he found, too late, that driving
at night in the United States
not only confusing and frust-
rating but dangerous.

Investments in rice farming,’’
said Mr. Walkc-. Walker, who
farms south of Danbury at
Hosk ns Mound, has just com-
pleted leveling i 135-acre field
that was covered with mounds
and ‘hog wallows”. According
to Mr. Walker, his leveled rice-
land last year produced 35 per
cent more rice than land in the
same field that had not been
leveled.
Mr McLemore is preparing
land to plant 10 acres of Dallis-
grass and 10 acres of Alyce
clover on his farm one mile
northeast of Alvin. Feriilizing

the soil prior o planting the
Dallisgrass seed. Mr McLe-
more believes that there is
enough seed on the other 10
acres to give a good stand of
clover by applying 100 pounds
of 6-24-24 fertilizer before
disking since this 10-acre block
of clover was allowed to make
seed last year.

Zurfi was a simple being.
He enjoyed a tireless, simple
existence on Alphecca. And
now he had a simple plan. He
wanted to go to Earth—16 mil-
lion miles aw’ay.
Why not, Zurfi thought. Al-
phessans had gone to the
planet Sasimum, the planet
Bartese (a most unprofitable
venture—all that sulphur), had
even gone to Mars. Why not
Earth?
So Zurfi went.
His modest space ship land-
ed in New York City’s Times
Square, but it caused little stir
in the crowd passing by
(“Aren’t car designs getting
terribly extreme?”). So w’ith a
minimum of fuss and bother
Zurfi picked up a map and
started out to explore. Once
around auC! then I’ll go home,
he decided.
He headed along a roadway
