time goods.
What probably surprised the
light business and industrial lead
ers most in their initial meeting
with the chief executive Wednes-
day was his statement that since
congress eliminated the national
resources planning board several
months ago he has no overall long
range planning agency and no
funds with which to do such
work.
Congress-, Mr.. Roosevelt is re-
ported to have added, often moves
by trends and the present trend
appears unfavorable to basis ad-
ministration planning.
Consequently several of the bus
mess men came away with the
feeling, later expressed, that pres
ent government efforts to arrange
for returning the country to
peace econ1my are developing
without much overall coordination,
and will continue to do so unless
the President and his assistants,
already janmed with immediate
problems of the war, can find time
to do the Job.

The returns over and above feed
costs indicate that a combination
of more frequent irrigations and
manure was much more profitable
than either practice alone. For
example, returns on the area receiv-
ing five irrigations were 5000 per
irrigations and manure, S8704; on
the area with proper irrigation but
no manure, $80.14; but by using
both proper irrigation and manure,
$108.O3.
With the food situation here at
home apparently more critical than
the military outlook abroad, no one
can be excused who fails to get the
maximum possible returns from
every acre of his farm. Take advan-
tage of the help available to you
