agencies for securing credit for fl
nancing the marketing process"
Cost OF Production.
"A word must be said about the
cost of production and its relation to
selling price or value. Value (price)
depends upon two factors-utility and
scarcity. Cost Of production governs
supply, or the scarcity factor. Utility
governs the demand, and has no di-
rect relation to cost of production.
Hence cost of production is not the
correct basis of price, but is only one
important element in it. Any price
fixed by collective bargaining, collec-
tive selling, or otherwise, must actu-
ally reflect supply and demand, or it
will not stay fixed. For it will lead
either to surplus (Which the con-
sumner refuses to take except at price
concessions) or to a shortage, leading
consumers to bid up the price"
Merchandising the Product
We cannot omit brief mention of
what Professor Boyle said as to mer-
chandising, the last step in marketing
or the actual sale of the goods to final
consumers:
THE price problem is knotty
one" he said, "but we know that sup
ply and demand do determine general
prices. At least, they mark out d
sort of prize ring, and within this ring

IDA

@URIOUSLY enough, Ida and Ada
~ are practically synonymous, &C
cOrding to etymOlogists. Certainly the
names were used INTERCHANGEABLE. In
early times, Ada was thought to be
an entirely separate entity and was
believed to be derived from Adah,
meaning ornament and the name Adah
was given to the wife Of Lamech in
the Old Testament But later etymo-
logical authorities believe that Ada is
merely a latinized form Of Fad, mean
Ing happy or rich, and the same as the
German Ida.
Ida originates from Frau UOte, moth
er Of Friemhild, who interpreted her
dream and predicted the death of her
bridegroom, Ortwin Of Metz. A num-
Der Of feminine names came from Uote
or Uta, and finally the name Adur was
evolved. Audur was viking daugh-
ter. one Of the first Icelandic settlers.
In England, under Norman rule, there
appeared Auda and Aida, the latter
the wife Of Orlando the Paladin. An
other Aida was queen Of Italy in
926 and still another famous bearer
OF the name was a daughter Of the
house Of Este In 1893. High German
called the name Oda, but low German
made 1t Fad, and from this latter Ide
and Idette were evolved, both of which
became enormously popular.
Ida was the name given to the
granddaughter Of King Stephen. who
became the Countess Of Boulogne. Both
Ida and Ada, the simplest terms possible
OF any feminine name, have been the

this theory is correct the weed-cOntr0l
problem overshadows all others with
which the. farmer is confronted. Mod
ern agricultural science has discovered
much concerning the control and Grad
icati0n of these insidious land thieves.
The wild onion, for example, was con-
sidered hopeless problem from Mas
sachusetts to Georgia, and as far west
as Missouri and Arkansas until a weed
specialist in the Department Of Agri-
culture discovered that the plant pro-
duced two kinds Of bulbs. One type
was sOft-coated, and formed the new
plants during late summer and fall;
the other was hard so that 1t was un.
harmed by winter, and ready to form
the new plants in the spring. With
this to guide them the specialists
proved that the wild onion can be con.
trolled by blowing deeply in the late
fall to destroy the plants originating
from the soft-coated bulbs. and by
planting an intertilled crop, such as
corn, the following spring to kill the
plants that come up from the hard
coated bulbs.
Weedy rOadsides are constant
sources of trouble for the adjoining
farm lands. The seeds are carried
miles by automobiles, horses, and pass.
ing wagons, so that they become n
menace to the whole community. If
nothing better can be done with the
roadside weeds they can be moved
twice a year. This treatment, IL well
kept up, will effectively check the trou.

verified into lawn, or it can be used
