SURPLUS FARM CROPS

Due to overproduction of several farm crops last year, particularly cot ton and corn, with the inevitable low ering of prices, plans for reviving the situation thus created are being ear nestly considered by farm organiza- tions.
 Bills looking to federal assistance in disposing of surplus crops are be- ing proposed in Congress, while farm bureaus and other similar bodies are urging a curtailment of acreage to be devoted to certain products next year.
 That something should be done to- ward stabalizing prices of farm pro- ducts is indisputable. Just what should be done, or can be done, pre- sents difficult problem.
 The natural tendency of production of given crop to "see-saw" is we'll known. A short crop in one year causes high prices, which encourage larger plantings next year. Then, if weather conditions are especially favorable, great overproduction re- suits and prices tumble, often caus- ing the farmer to suffer an actual loss in spite of the big crop.
 Theoretically, the farmers have the regulation of crop production in their own hands, through greater diver sification and the limiting of acreage devoted to crops likely to show a sur plus. But it is hard to secure coop eration on large scale. This is we'll illustrated by study of cotton acre age, which has increased steadily in

which has increased steadily, in spite of repeated and insistent warnings from year to year
 Cooperative marketing has secured good results in many instances, but even cooperative marketing can af ford only small measure of relief When there is great surplus of any crop throughout the world, the law of supply and demand will govern prices to a large extent, in spite o1 the artificial means which may be de vised to stabalize them.

lost sale is what his competitors ad- vertising cost him.
 You have, perhaps, wondered how some stores can afford to spend so much money for advertising. That is easy to fathom Their competitor, who doesn't advertise and whose bus mess they take, pays for their adver- Using.
 Say the Jones family is a customer at your store. They have $60 which they intend to spend with you. They read the advertising of your compet- itor and are induced to spend their S6O with him instead of spending it with you. The store makes twenty per cent, or SIP on the sale. They deduct, we will say, the $1 advertis- ing cost and have S1L profit left. The advertising has cost them nothing, they got back it's cost and had S11 profit they would not have had only for their advertising.
 Who paid for this advertising? Did the advertiser pay? No. He got the cost back, and profit besides. Did the purchaser pay? No. He paid only the regular price. Then who did pay?
 The store that did not advertise paid for his competitors advertising He not only paid for the other mans advertising, but he paid out of his cash drawer the profit his competitor made on the sale. The store that does not advertise pays the advertis. ing bill for the one that does. He
 pays in loss of sales, profits, and in creased costs.
 The store that loses business thru not advertising has such high over. head and unit sale cost that it cannot
 possibly sell goods as cheaply as the
 store that increases it's sales and re-
 duces it's cost with advertising.

WHOSE ADVERTISING BILLS DO
 YOU PAY?

The store that doesn't advertise pays the advertising bill for the one that does.
 Every merchant in business pays for the advertising whether he uses it or not. If competitors advertising takes any business away from him. the profits he would have made on the

Editorial Comment
Our DeIiberative Senate
(The Public Ledger)


The Senate has used a great many
days in an alleged debate over the
Migratory Bird Bill. This. it seems,
was so important that every avenue
of discussion must be explored. Then
the Senate turns around and without
so much as fifteen minutes Of debate
passes the SS5,000,000 naval air bill
authorizing a five-year building pro-
gram. About 1000 planes. two diri-
gibles, each three times larger than
the wrecked Shenandoah, and numer-
GUS other matters are included in the
measure which has passed the House.
The whole business took sixteen
minutes. including the reading of the
bill section by section. Some changes
made by the Senate in the House
mea sure will call for a joint confer
ence, but the naval air program may
be regarded as approved. Sometimes
the Senate is truly the most deliber-
alive body in the worldA At other
times it is about as deliberate as d
setter pup. .,.-.

"Now, where shall go for an adj.
venture?" thought the little rabbit
as he hoped out of the last story
into this one, and past the Big Red
Barn he went, clipperty clip, lip
perty lip, and down the old lane
leading to the Pleasant Pasture.
Between the gray and messy old
stone fences Mrs. Cow had cropped
the turf until it. looked like a we'll
kept lawn. Yes, 1t was almost as
neat as dear Uncle Lucky's, in the
very center of which stood his red
shingled house at the corner of Let
tuce Avenue and Carrot Street.
Many a hard days toll had the
Kind Farmer given to build the old
fences, grubbing from the rocky
fields the stones with which to make
the border to the Pleasant Pasture.
Year by year the woodbine had
covered them with its trailing vines,
and half hidden among the network
of green wild. rose and azalea sent
forth a lovely fragrance.
Here and there along the stony
line stood forth a red cedar tree,
and patches of raspberry and black
berry vines with their thorny fingers
had snatched off bits of wool from
sheep that had pressed too near.
Dearest me. I must be careful.
Danny Fox might be lurking here.
well hidden, with a watchful eye on
the Kind Farmers chicken coop"
thought the bunny boy, as on he
hoped past the white azaleas and
over the nodding buttercups.
"Where are you going, young Hip
perty\ Hop?
Over the buttercups clipperty clop?
Or seeking adventure along this old
/. lane.
Where Bobbie. Redvest's singing his
sweetest refrain?"
all of a sudden shouted a voice.
Dearest me, I'm glad it's you and
not Danny Fox" gasped the timid
little rabbit, as Chatterbox, the Red
Squirrel, peeped down from his nest
in the red cedar tree. But where
did you learn that pretty piece of
poetry?"
"Just made IT. up" retorted Chat
terbox. Don't think I'm always
scotd. I'm the smallest of the tree
squirrels, you must remember. A
little scolding once in a while, and
maybe oftener." With wink at the
rabbit,-"keeps the other fellow from
getting the better of one. ! do my

MATTER OF NATIONAL
REFERENDUM

"The Constitution Is a grant OF
powers. These powers are limited.
and such limits are not to be tran
scended. A national referendum is
not provided for, and it Is our BELIEF
that it was not the intention of the
trainers of the Constitution that a
national referendum would ever be
attempted. No laws have been
enacted which provide for a mach
inery for the holding Of such ref
erendum."
One wishing to give this matter OF
referendum on the Eighteenth
Amendment intelligent consideration
better give the above attention. 1t is
a. paragraph that sticks out of the
conclusions of sub committee of
the Senate to which t. Edge reso-
luton for a national referendum on
prohibition was referred.
We fail to find wherein this con-
clusion isn't logical Evidently 1t
wasn't the intention of the founders
to empower the national government
with provision for national referen-
dunn otherwise than by method al
ready provided for changing the Con-
stitution. A national referendum
may be had either by getting 81
states to ask for it or prevailing on
Congress by two-thirds majority
to submit the matter to the vote OF
the people. Changing the Constitu-
ton is not an easy matter, and 1t
shouldn't be. If the law Is as bad
as its opponents claim, 1t ought TO
be no more difficult to get 1t re-
pealed than it was to get 1t into the
Constitution in the first place.
