ers in commercial areas should
eliminate much administrative cost
and bother to small farmers" Mr..
Wilson said, without limiting tint
effectiveness of the plan. Although
potatoes are grown on more than
three million farms In the United
States, three quarters of all the
countryis potatoes are grown on less
than 100000 farms in TAO counties,
Acreage sterilization should
tend toward a less variable supply
of potatoes to be marketed each
year, at a price level fair to both
producers and consumers. In the
past shifts in acreage have resulted
in disastrously low prices during
years of large acreage, followed by
years of small acreage at inordln-
ately high prices. Acreage stabiliza~
ton, of course, does not provide fog
fluctuations in yield. Marketing
agreements can meet many of these
problems, so that those two types
of potato programs supplement-
each other in encouraging stable
potato production"

EDITORIAL

After a trial this institution OF
supervised study doesn't seem SO
confusing as it was at first feared
it would be. Now that we've broken
away from the old method, the
utility of being able to obtain help
when we need it, with the added
convenience of less home work is
being met with approval by the ma
jority of the students. So not only
is it working, but it is proving
practical. Which all goes to show
that something new can be Just as
beneficial as that which has been
the custom for years Nor is it
likely that this will be the only
call to adapt ourselves to changes,
and it hasn't been hard so far.
