WAGE-PRICE RECORD

The myth that large wage increases could be granted without the need for price increases has been completely exploded by the events in the first half of l946 Tn most recent evidence of the inadequacy of this theory is found in the 91censa-ton increase in the ceiling price of anthracite coal authorized to compensate producers for the increases recently granted The record is repete with similar experiences in other industries:
 STEEL-A wage increase of 182 cents an hour was accomplished by a price rise of $5 per ton, an amount equivalent to the entire wage increase.
 BITUMINOUS COAL-An increase of 1872 cents an hour plus extras made necessary rise of 40 cents a ton in the price.
 MEAT-An incease of Is cents an hour was ;com- panied by price increases equivalent to more than two thirds of that amount.
 RAILRoADs-An increase of l6 cents hour, later made 181s cents an hour led to the recently approved to per cent rise in freight rates.
 AUTOMOBILES-An 1872 cents hour increase made necessary an increase of $16 to $60 car for General Motors In addition further rise of 5 per has been permitted in order to compensate for the higher costs of steel and other parts which ir turn had been caused by higher wages.
 These instances typical. Building materials, work clothing textiles and many other products could be added to the list The full impact of these wage increases has not yet been felt This is particularly true concerning the price increases permitted for coal steel and freight rates. Clearly, workers cannot benefit from wage nceases which necessitate price increases and hence limit the rise in real earnings. The only fundamental basis for expansion in real income is found in increased productivity When wage increases sharply in excess of those that can be paid out of production the inevitable result will be higher prices.

Romance will flower today under the most favorable influences. Lov- CTS quarrels will be patched up. Proposals can hardly fail to pro- duce the desired response Weddings planned today will go through with out a flaw.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Those clinging to old methods of merchandising on the theory that the war has wrought no great changes in the nations thinking will do well to study the programs of the major industries. Current conditions are wholly unlike those prevailing before the war and the alert and progressive business man must keep abreast of the times or run the risk of being crowded out by newcomers.
 NATIONAL ISSUES The time is right for a thorough investigation into every institution in the United States in which men tai defectives are confined. Recent revelations have shocked the na- tion and the worst has not been told. A Congressional inquiry may be launched in the near future un- der the pressure of the many out ragged constituents who hold, justly that the Government should set and enforce minimum standards | for all such hospitals and asylums public and private.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 The friendly cooperation of this country and Mexico is more impor- tant to the United States than most realize. Mexico holds it in her power to be of inestimable aid to this country or to Ee a constant and dangerous threat to our secur- 1 ity An enduring friendship be- tween the two countries is indicat- ed.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of gratifying spiritual and menta growth.
 Children born today will have good minds and strong bodies. IT. their early years they may cause their parents some concern, but as adults they will be men and wo- men of strong character.

Cooking Giblets

The giblets are some of the least
appreciated yet most valuable parts
of chicken or turkey, say food sci.
entists of the department of agri-
culture. Too many home cooks
know only of their use in giblet
gravy and do not realize their pos,
sibilities for delicious main dishes
Chicken or turkey livers especially
offer rich value in iron and all vita.
Minis. Some retail markets today
sell giblets-hearts, ivers and giz
yards together-or ivers alone by
the pound. Giblets also are canned
In preparing giblets an important
point to remember is that gizzards
and hearts need long slow cooking
by simmering to make them tender
but livers are tender to begin with
so need only brief cooking. In gen
eral, gizzards and hearts of Older
birds take about twice as long tt
cook as those Of young birds. Glib
lets cook more quickly if they are
cut in pieces first.

Big Industry Grows
From USDA Research

An investment of 100000 in ag-
ricultural research has produced a
new industry worth fully $1,500,000
a year, officials of the department
of agriculture and the Farmers and
Manufacturers Beet Sugar associa-
ton point out in summarizing the
development of domestic sugar beet
seed production.
This sturdy oak sprouted from
the little acorn of a chance dis
covery at the New Mexico agri-
cultural experiment station in 1922,
say DR.. C. H. Coons and A. H. Nose
man of the departments bureau of
plant industry Workers there OBJ
served that fall-planted sugar beets
remained alive over winter and pro-
duced abundant seed the following
summer.
The former method was to grow
the roots one season, dig them for
storage over winter and replant
them the following season to pro-
duce the seed. These operations
required much hand labor, and
since they could be done cheaper
in Europe, seed was imported from
there. During World War I Euro
pean seed shipments to this coun-
try we're reduced to a trickle. But
by the time of World War II, the
United States could produce its own
requirements and more. By 1941
seed production had spread to nine
southwest and Pacific northwest
states, and now aggregate between
100000 and 17,000,0O0 pounds an
nually, of which about 100000
pounds are used by farmers in
Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Wiscon-
sin, according to the Farmers and
Manufacturers Beet Sugar associa-
ton.

inexpensive Safeguards
Protect Farm Crops

Plant pathologists have learned
a few simple, inexpensive safe
guards to protect farm crops against
the ravages of plant diseases brought
on by fungus.
First, the county agent, teacher
Of vocational agriculture, or expert
ment station can recommend many
high-yielding, well-adapted varieties
of farm crops that are resistant
against important crop diseases. If
you don't know whether your seed
comes from healthy field, plant
certified seed from inspected fields,
to avoid the diseases that are seed
borne but do not show in the seed.
There are effective protective
seed treatments for nearly all crops,
with the cost slight, but the advan-
tages great. In each area, tests
have shown that disease control and
better yields result from planting
each crop close to the time and at
the rate recommended by the ex-
pertinent station. Crop rotation,
weed control, and destruction of
crop residue by thorough plowing
(or, in some cases, burning) are
practices that protect crops by de-
stroying the germs and fungi of
plant disease.

MEDICAL WONDERS SAVED
UNITED STATES
DR.. Sophia Brunson

1 General James S. Simmons has
said that if it had not been for
great medical progress, the United
States would have lost World War
II swiftly. The medical personnel
has done wonderful work in life
saving. Many of them followed the
troops closely, and while exposed
to great dangers they toiled unre-
mitingly day and night to save our
fighting men.
The doctors risked their lives
with the rest of the soldiers. They
jumped from planes and landed
with parachutes in enemy territory
always fully equipped and ready to
begin their work for the wounded.
Medical research went forward at
a rapid rate during the war. IN
dreamed of discoveries have been
made that have put into the hands
Of the medical profession remedies
that are curing diseases more swift
five or ten years ago.
Only few years ago, medical
students were taught that it took
years of treatment to cure syphilis.
Very few who acquired it ever per-
sisted until they were we'll, and
even then they could not be sure
that they would not have syphilitic
ichildren or return of the disease.
Today, using penicillin, the treat
ment lasts only two weeks and the
results appear to be good. Syphilis
lis latent disease, and it will take
time to prove whether the cure is
permanent or not.
1t is of vast Importance that the
military forces sponsored so broad
medical research projects, costing
SIT, 100000. Three examples of
the results are the Red Cross plas-
ma, the development Of penicillin
and D. D. t., the insect powder.
"1t is my belief" Simmons de-
clared, "that the D. D. T. gives
promise of being one of the great
est contributions ever made to world
health"
Typhus fever used to be the
scourge of all armies and civilians.
Fleas and lice carried the infection.
These parasites fed upon rats that
spread the disease wherever they
went.
Soldiers died from typhus by the
thousands. The D. D. T. powder is
white and odorless. It destroys
these insects and promises to pre-
vent typhus, which is one of the
worst killers known in wars.
We now have vaccines which
practically prevent typhoid fever
and cholera.

Citrus Fruits

While most people know that or
ange juice is a high-powered drink
for vitamin C, nutritionists say that
all of the familiar citrus fruits are
bountiful sources of this vitamin
A half glass a ounces) of orange
or grapefruit juice will go far to
ward supplying a days needs o.
vitamin c. So will half a grape
fruit, or a whole orange, or a cou
pie of tangerines or lemons. Be
cause pulp, as well as juice, con
tains vitamin G, there is vitami1
thrift in serving juice unstrained
and even higher vitamin economy il
eating citrus fruit simply halved
sliced or sectioned. So destructiv,
are heat and air to vitamin C in Gu
or juiced fruit that the vitamin
thrifty homemaker takes specia
care to keep them under control
To this end, the nutritionists advis,
cutting or slicing citrus fruit a
near as possible to serving time.

DAIRY HERD RECORDS ESSEN.
TIAL TO EFFICIENT DAIRY
PRODUCTION

With the high cost of dairy feec
and farm labor, it is imperative that
the dairy farmer have individual rec.
c,ds on his cows if he is to operate
his dairy business successfully.
According to Dr. S. H. Default
Agricultural Economist of the Uni
versity of Maryland, "the price of
wholesale milk in Maryland has in
creased sixty percent, the price of
feed has increased sixty-four percent
and the farm wage rates have in
creased one hundred thirty-two per-
cent. Feed and labor generally con-
stitute eighty to eighty-five percent
of the dairyman's cost of producing
milk" Other items such as pals, milk
cans, building and repair costs have
almost doubled prewar costs.
There has been a constant increase
in the cost of producing milk above
the prices received by farmers in the
past year or so; therefore the dairy
man is in very unfavorable econom-
ic position.
The dairyman who belongs to a
dairy herd improvement association,
making good use of his individual
cow records for milk production as
we'll as herd improvement, is going
to be ahead when any adjustments
come in the dairy industry.
The Importance OF records cannot
be over-emphasized when it comes to
herd improvement. With no records,
it is practically guess whether or
not the herd production will be raised,
lowered, or remain the same.
"Records on eighty-two proved
bulls in Maryland the last two years
indicate that many herd sires are not
worth their keep says Floyd J Arm
old, Extension Dairyman of the Uni
versity of Maryland.
The aim of a progressive dairy
man is to raise the herd milk pro-
duction by selective breeding yet of
the eighty-two bulls which were
thought to be good sires when pur-
chased or raised, only one-fourth of
them increased the average milk pro-
duction of their daughters over the
dams. Another quarter showed hardly
any change, and the other half, on
the average, had daughters producing
less than their dams. Without pro-
duction records, dairymen are guess
ing. Dairy records will assist the
dairyman to Gull herd sres as well as
poor cows.
Joining a dairy herd Improvement
association and artificial breeding of
cattle is one of the most important
steps a dairy farmer can take to-
ward efficient dairy production.
