REGULATION =
NOT DOMINATION

Attempts TO regulate" human
shortcomings out OF existence, and
create a perfect society by rule of
law, are doomed to failure. History
is strewn with the wreckage OF ma
tions that have tried it.
Money and credit, and institutions
such as banking which govern their
flow and use, are often condemned as
the root of economic upheavals that
put thousands in the breadlines. But
they are merely the tools with which
any modern people must be equipped
to maintain industries, homes and
farms. When such tools fail to func-
tion properly, 1t is due to the human
shortcomings of millions-not just to
shortcomings of a few bankers"
There are laws to check the bank
er in handling the money Of Amer
ica's sixty million depositors. These
laws properly come under the head
ing of regulation. They are designed
to protect the private property Csav-
ings) of the private citizen against
improper manipulation by the bank
en-. but they cannot protect the citi-
zen against all his own mistakes OF
Judgment which the banker too often
has ia assume. They are designed to
preserve our system OF free enter
prise, rather than undermine it. They
are far cry from the type of 'regu
Iation" which seeks TO erase the
shortcomings Of the people as
whole by taking over control of their
financial system. Usually when this
Kind of regulation appears, the rights
OF the people begin to disappear
II is exceedingly dangerous to be-
come overly enthused about meas
ures which the politicians hold forth
as economic cure-alls, particularly
in the field of money and credit. The
surest way to destroy individual lib
erty-and security-is TO let gov
ernment invade this field with laws
which seek not to regulate, but TO
dominate.
1t is admittedly a difficult distinc-
tion for the layman to make at
times. But make it he husband
without error.

No Monopoly

In a recent talk. Corwin d. Ed
wards, Economist OF the Department
OF Justice, said: There is a wide
spread impression that in any COM
petition based upon efficiency, the
chains must inevitably drive out the
independents and thus confront the
American people with monopoly.
Evidence does not support this view.
Chain stores do not appear to
have cost advantage over indepen-
dents of substantial size"
There is nothing mysterious about
the way chains effect their operating
economies. They buy in large guam
titles, and so obtain the lowest
wholesale price. They plan their
stocks with extreme care, so that
turnover is fast, and there are no
dead" items on their. shelves. They
are continually on the watch for
ways and means of cutting costs
without damaging their standards of
service.
Any kind of store is free to imi-
tate the cost-saving methods devel-
oped by the chains and to improve
on them if it can. And thousands of
Independent merchants have done
just that. They too operate central
buying organizations, which enable
them to obtain goods at the lowest
prices. They too successfully follow
the small-profit, big-turnover prin-
ciple. They too advertise widely and
their wares attractively. And
they keep their old customers and
gain new ones.
Due to the aggressive spirit dem
by the intelligent indepen-
dents, the chain stores now do a
smaller percentage of the
nations total retail trade than they
did five years ago. There isn't the
slightest danger of a retail mono
poly" under the open competitive
system. That goes for foods, cloth
ing, household goods, and everything
else. And don't forget that the open
system, which offers a
to each merchant to outdo
his rivals, is largely responsible for
the American standard of living.

SECOND DAIRY LETTER
LISTS PASTURE FACTS

AS the second in a series of six
dairy farm management informa-
tion letters, Delaware county agri-
cultural agents have just mailed a
letter on summer pasture to dairy
farmers. The letters are a part of
tine Delaware Dairy Feeding and
Homegrown Feed Production Pro-
gram being sponsored by dairy far
mers and the Delaware Agricultural
Extension Service.
The illustrated pasture letter is
punched to fit in a handy paper
cover furnished dairymen with the
first letter.
In the pasture letter, signed by
the county agricultural agents, X.
w. Baker, farm management special
list for the Extension Service, states;
Many dairy cows drop off In milk
production and young stock often
stops growing during July and Au-
gust because OF a shortage of pas
ture. A little planning now will go
a long way toward providing ample
pasture during midsummer. No one
thing you can do is of greater inn
portance in reducing the cost of
milk production than providing good
pasture for your herd over just as
long a period of time as possible.
Careful studies have shown that
pasturage can furnish about one
third the total feed for the whole
year at a cost Of about one-seventh
the annual feed bill"
The letter gives facts on grazing
new hay seedlings, grazing the af-
termath of the hay crop and the
production of emergency pasture.
Sudan grass is mentioned prominent
ly as an emergency pasture crop.
The new Extension Service Mimeo
Circular No. 3 entitled Delaware
Pastures" is referred to by the ag-
agents in the second dairy
letter. Copies of the circular may
be obtained from county extension
offices.
The first two dairy farm manage
ment information letters and the
cover to hold these and future let
ters will be supplied Delaware
dairy farmers who request them
from the county agricultural agents.

Water and Fire Fighting

Many a fire which should have
been quickly eXtinguished has got
ten out of hand due to the made
quacy or failure of the local water
supply. The best fire department on
earth is next to helpless if water
facilities are inadequate.
The National Board of Fire I'm
derwriters, S5 John street, New York
City, has issued a leafet on Water
Supply for Municipal Fire Fighting"
which contains a great deal of infor-
native and valuable data. The leaf
let observes that the question of ade-
quacy OF water supply lis one which
did not receive nearly enough at
tention in the past. Even today full
realization of the needs of the fire
service is not as evident as it should
be-"
The leafiet points out that it is of
importance for every fire department
to know the ultimate capacity of its
water system-and that is particu-
larly true of small communities. 1t
is a mistake to use too many streams
which cut down pressure to where
none are effective, instead of a small
number properly located. Where the
pumps in water system have a ca
pacity of 1000 gallons a minute, not
more than eight 2I5-inch lines
should be used.
Adequacy of water supply, fur
thcrmore, is not simply a question of
the total amount of water available.
Having enough hydrants to permit
fighting the fire without use of ex-
cessively long hose lines is equally
important, and many towns are
faulty in this respect.
A towns water needs change as 1t
develops Sections that once were
occupied by well-spaced, single
family dwellings may become the
location of multi-storied apartment
houses. This results in lowered
pressrres and inadequate water flow.
These are but few of the points
the National Board leafiet covers.
Every community wishing. to bring
its fire fighting facilities to maxi
mum efficiency should obtain a copy.

GROW YOUR OWN

A new section that has just been
added TO the National Defense Com
mission will handle questions of
priorities for agriculture. Farms and
new gardens are expected to show
increased activities in 1941. Tens of
thousands of new homes are to be
built as part of the national de-
Tense program. Increasing prices Of
farm and garden crops furnish an
incentive to homefolks to put in their
own gardens.
II is apparent that substantial
savings in the family food budget
may be realized, and after all there
is fun as well as profit to be dug
out of the good earth. Ferry Morse,
the leading seed concern of the coun-
try, recommends. the planting of
fast growing crops such as spinach
and radishes, with slow growing
Milford chronicle., 1941-03-14

vegetables like tomatoes, cabbage
and lettuce between the rows. The
second objective in successful gar
dening may be obtained by repeat
paintings of such major crops as
beans, sweet corn, carrots, radieshes,
beets and lettuce. Gardeners are ur-
ged not to overlook the food possibil-
tiles of moderate new paintings
made at regular intervals during
the early part Of the season since
this progressive method guarantees
a steady supply of fresh vegetables
until the seasons end.
Federal funds have recently been
allocated for 6S,432 new dwelling
units, and the activities of public
health and welfare farms and gar
dens are represented in increased
Departmental activities of
agencies looking after nutrition, rec
reation and out of door activities for
home owners and gardeners.
