he arrner and the rood supply Editor of Arizona Republican,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear Sir: Tn your issue of Sunday. April 18th. appeared an article headed. New Farm Reports Reveal Prospect of Food Shortage" quoting from state ments by Geo. B. Waters.
 While the. statements made are cor rect in fact. they are. unless more fully explained, apt to be misleading. The subject is such that a correct under standing is righly desirable.
 The article infers that farmers ace stopping the raising of cattle and hogs because labor is not available. It is true they are cutting down on the pro- : duction of such lines but the labor shortage is but an indirect cause. The real cause is Q relative over production. Tn the first place, considering farm products only. there is. relative to the demand. greater supply of finished porducts such as beef pork and dairy goods than there is of the raw prod . ucts which produce these finished art icles. That is to say. corn, oats, barley hay, etc, are in greater demand and bring d better price as raw materials than they do when marketed in the form Of the finished products which they produce. Thus, the cutting down in merely q question Of reestabiishin2 n2 a correct balance on the farm. The same pFlncipie IS opefatl1g Io eslapHSG a correct balance between the supply of farm products and the supply of saon- farm products. Relatively, though not actually. there is an supply of farm products. and lahor is gravi tatng to those industries where the demand is greatest and the profit therefore largest.
 When the balance is reached this process will stop naturally. so there need be no fear Of any catastrophe re- sulting from a small temporary cessa- tion of farm production.

At the nearby table in the restaurant two young women discussing the age of a man employed the office where they worked.

 But he doesn't look it." argued the first T know he doesn't, but he's old, just the same,
 How do you know?"
 Well the other day heard him speak of his wife as the old woman and if she's old woman he can't be so young do you think ?"
 Yes" decided the first young woman, T guess you're right. When they begin referring to their wives the old woman they're old, or oidern The moral? As obvious the your face: Don't let anyone hear you call your wife the old woman" Not your wife.
