Partial Relief From,
Drought In Rainfall

Rain on Monday followed by a
light drizzle Tuesday afternoon par
TALLY broke the grip of a late fall
drought and provided some moisture
for the parched Bluffton area farm
lands.
Not nearly enough moisture fell to
alleviate the serious drought condi-
tions on farms surrounding the town
however, and agricuIturaIists are
hoping for a continuation of rain
in the near future. The recently
sowed winter wheat crop is badly
in need of moisture.
This has ben an unusually dry
fall, and the situation was further
aggravated by unusually warm
weather which continued into the
early part of October.

AT Stafford, development work on

Cobalt, a rare domestic mineral,
has increased in value and develop

expected to furnish domestic
cobalt for the government.

she was highly interested" in

in Arizona which would fall under

Price and the Public

Almost everyone-as con-
sumer.-would like to see prices
lowered. But II they are to be
lowered, where is the shaving to
be done Where are costs to be
cut? The Twentieth Century
Fund has made scholarly study
of this question and concludes that
there is more chance of shaving
distribution costs than production
costs. On the average, SO cents
out of every dollar Americans pay
for an article goes for distribution,
The study points out.
Business has not completely ex-
plored this field of reduction in
distribution costs. But that is
partly because the American public
ia more than a little fastidious in
its demand for numerous services
for credit, delivery, style, variety,
and convenience-which put a
burden on the retailer and enter
into price.
The Twentieth Century Fund
study realizes fully that a high
distribution cost is part of the
price one pays for the economies
of mass production. Yet should
Americans, as an outcome of the
depression. become more interest
ed in price than in the "et ceteras"
of retailing, American business
genius no doubt could be counted
on to do some pairing on distribu-
tion costs. = Christian Science
Monitor.

1910 Census Will
Throw Light on Many
Subjects, Leave Some
In Dark.

BALTTMOPE-An editorial In
the Baltimore Sun points out that
the United States census to be
taken next year will provide valu-
able data on economic and socio-
logical matters but that no census
could reveal what a decade of de-
preston has done to the physical
and mental health of the Nation.
The editorial is reprinted here in
full:
The Bureau of the Census Is max.
ing preparations for the sixteenth
census of the United States, to be
taken in 1910. The tentative list OF
questions which has been prepared
is an interesting one, for It re-
fleets the increasing interest Of the
government in sociological prob
lens. The 1880 census asked Am
orleans such questions as, Have
Won a radio?" inserted at the re-
quest of business interests who
wanted more merchandising in
formation. In the 1910 list of ques-
tions. no less than nine out OF
twenty-eight deal with varHous
aspects of the query, Have you a
:ob?"
Five questions seek to obtain
data on housing conditions,
whereas others are directed at
such problems as education and
illiteracy, migrations of population
within the United States and the
source and level of each family's
income. After all the answers are
in We shall have some important
statistics on the economic welfare
of the Nation-not as much as we
need, perhaps. but enough to keep
sociologists and economists busy
for years to come. Unfortunately,
mere economic statistics do not
get to the heart of one OF the most
pressing questions. They do not
they cannot, tell us what de-
cade of depression and relief and
worry have done to the morale
and political convictions of the
American neople. And that is
something which it would be quite
pertinent to know. 1t is the kind OF
question which will remain more
important than statistics, long
after the statistics are ink.

Government To Widen
Scope Of Surplus
Food Stamp Plane

WASHINGTON-Successful IN
three cities, the governments fooo
stamp experiment will be extendeu
to three other communities during
August.
At the same time, the scope of
the plan will be extended to include
low income families not on relief.
Under the plan, sponsored by the
Federal Surplus Commodities Cor
poration and approved by the Ma
tional Food and Grocery Conference
Committe, relief clients gets so per
cent more food in designated sur
plus products.
For instance, the client with re-
lief money may buy twenty orange
stamps for IS, good for any gro
ceries. At the same time, he re-
ceives ten blue stamps, good for
$3.50 worth of specified surplus
foods, such as beans, flour, rice,
cabbage, prunes, corn meal eggs
and butter.
Rochester's Record
In Rochester, N. Y, where the
plan was first introduced in May,
$500 families are now participating.
During the first half of July they
received $4,000 worth of free food
stamps, which. it is estimated by
Surplus Commodities Corporation
officials. means an additional $780,
900 in food buying power going to
needy families in the city.
Not only does the plan provide
additional food for the needy, of
ficials say, but also purchase of
other supplies is greatly stimulat-
ed and it enables clients to spend
more for clothes and other neces-
stiles they had to go without before.
The plan then was extended to
Dayton, Ohio, and Seattle, Wash.
Now 1t will be tried in Birmingham,
Ala, Des Moines. Iowa, and Potta-
watomine County, Okla.
Two variations will be introduced
in the Oklahoma experiment. The
blue stamps will be handed out TO
certified relief families without
first requiring purchase of orange
stamps. Privately-employed famil-
les with a total income of not more
than $3.50 a week will be permit
ted to participate.
These experiments will be watch
ed closely, not only as broaden
ing of the plan to the point where
it becomes a general method OF
aiding the uhder-privileged, but
also as a more sensible way Of
getting rid of crop surplusses
rather than the substituting of ex-
ports at cut rates in the world
