ulate their purchasing by common
sense rather than by fad or habit
That great buyer, the housewife, has
been partially taught to buy rice
when rice Is abundant and potatoes
are scarce. And she has been par
TALLY taught to direct her other pur-
chases in accordance with market
conditions. 1t is true that only lit
tie has been accomplished along this
line. but 1t Is a step in the right di-
rection.
These same principles which have
made farm prosperity far more per-
manent than in earlier days can be
applied to make business prosperity
more permanent In detail. this works
out as follows:
l. Business men will be educated
to diver sify their interests. The "one-
CROP system must be abandoned in
the factory as well as upon the farm.
The automobile manufacturer will
make both trucks and trailers, so
that depression in truck sales will
be offset by activity in trailer sales.
The merchant will be prepared to
cater either to classes or masses ac-
cording as the two groups see-saw up
and down the teeterboard of funda-
mental conditions. The same man
will operate a wooden mill and shoddy
mill. one of which will always be
active when the other is dull. There
will also be diversification of sales
territories; and there will be sea-
sonal diversification.
2. If sufficient pressure is exerted,
the government will provide business
information as well as crop informa-
tion. The census of manufacturers is
a beginning which must be perfected
and supplemented by census of
trade.
Technique Of Business.
3. There can be developed a tech

the improved methods Of agriculture
Even modern business is hardly more

"systelnatizing" movement and the
efficiency" movement are but inti-

of these movements were concerned

with attention to those mainsprings
of action-the emotions.
4. Purchasers must be taught their
power and how to use 1t. Send your
money to the bank and it builds
houses. factories. machinery and
other capital wealth. Send your
money to the jewellers and it opens
diamond mines. Both jewels and flour
mills are well to have-but in proper

of the whole subject. There is no
such thing as overproduction: the
trouble is always due to unbalanced

This is the tenth Of = series Of articles
BY Mr.. Bab.on to be published in The
Star. The eleventh will appear In next
Saturdays Business Section.
This series of articles began with
the following words:
Fundamentally, this country is
sound.
Temporarily, it's business is sick.
"It is a good thing when we are
sick to become we'll again, but 1t is
a better thing to seek way to
stamp out our malady for all time
to come
There was a time when men and
women looked upon smallpox as a
scourge from God, terrible, but un-
avoidable. This was before we
learned how to combat 1T. Today
smallpox is no longer plague.
There was a time when whole
communities were shattered. and-in
an economic senSe-were all but
annihilated by terrible crop failures
The farmers still have their troubles.
Crop failures are still reported. But
a modern crop failure is mild indeed
compared with the devastating ruin
that befell farmers in previous dec
ades. Crop failures are no longer a
plague.
Business, 1 believe, is i'll with a
preventable malady. Business de-
stamped out if we but knew what to
do.
Can we eliminate this disastrous
succession of reckless ups and sick
ening downs? 1 believe so.
Can we make prosperity perma-
nent? I believe so.'
Let US review specifically the
things that have been done to elimi-
nate crop failures and see if the
same principles might not be fol-
lowed in eliminating the plague of
periodic business depressions.
1. Farmers have been educated to
diversity their crops. Instead of stalk
ing all upon cotton. the more pro-
gressive farmers of the south are de-
veloping food crops and livestock.
The same principle is being worked
out in other sections. The one-crop
system is everywhere being replaced
by diversification. If one product Is
a failure, the farmer has other prod
ucts to fall back upon.
2. Instead of working blindly in the
dark the farmer now has informa-
tion to guide him, both in production
and distribution. If he sees a ten
dency toward excessive production of
some one product-as clearly indi-
Gated by the crop reports from year
to year-he can gradually shift his
production to other crops. If GER
tain market is reported as glutted, he
can divert his products to point
where conditions are more favorable.
3. The farmer has been educated to
better methods. A superior agricul-
tural technique has been developed
and taught. Farm efficiency has in
creased. Farm equipment has i'm
proved.
4. At least a beginning has been
made in educating the public to reg

In Japan today one Of the pressing
economic problems is the rapid In

threshed but the crop be fed as hay"
He said he did not think the elevators
were receiving but from 1-3 to II as
much wheat as was delivered from the
machines last summer. They are pay
ing $1.15 for No. 2.
Walter Mathews reported on Tues
day night that no oats had been de-
livered so far at Centerville on the new
crop, but that the threshers were now
at work on odd oat crops, here and
there. Wheat is coming in right along,
said he, and "our price today is
$1.10."
Daily Exports 100000 Bushels.
Official exports of wheat and flour
from the United States for the 1920-'21
season ended June 80 were 365 900 900
bushels, practically 100000 bushels
per day, and are the largest on record,
comparing with 220,000,000 bushels the
previous year and 1000, 900 bushels
| in 1914'15, which was a record. The
| United Kingdom took around 100,0 00,-
900 bushels against 100000 bushels
the previous year.
Beware of Poison Ivy.
Be not lured by the floral beauty of
the plant with the handsome green
leaves and the whitish berries, admon-
ishes the latest health department bull
letin. 1t is poison ivy, bushy vine
which abounds in Indiana.
| The infected skin surface should be
bathed or swabed with alcohol, follow
ed by washing with soap and water"
continues the bulletin. IF the hands
and arms are affected be careful m
wash down instead of UP so as to avoid
spreading the poison oil over other
surfaces.
When the poisoning is well estab-
lished, soothing applications should be
applied; and where the itching is in

carbolic acid will usually give relief"
The area planted to potatoes in
Canada this year is placed by the

SUGAR PRICE DROP
REFLECTED IN LIFE
OF CUBAN P0PULACE
(By Associated Press

HAVANA, July 20.-Signs of Cuba's
business and financial depression are
evident to the most casual observer.
Three big banks, with scores of
branches, are closed. The parks are
full of idlers. Stores are blazoning
what they call bargain sales, with
goods marked down sometimes as
much as five per cent from mid-war
prices, which is the Spanish merchant s
idea of sacrificing profits.
The papers are full of the govern
mental plans for buying 100000 tons
of surplus sugar at a price that will
save producers and dealers from ruin,
for re-establishing banking facilities
that will relieve the pressing scarcity
of currency, for cutting the cost OF
600, 900 to about $50, 100, 900 year and
for reducing the cost of living.
Labor is Plentiful.
Politicians within reaching distance
of the political plum basket are logged
day and night by swarms of job hunt
ers. Hundreds of stocks Gallegos, the
