The FEC apparently does not wholly
agree, for it followed this quotation
with its statement that "this view
does not appear to be universally
held; and evidence is available that
lengthy commercials result in listen
ers tuning out program"
Variety, the theatrical paper, said
May 2, 1945 that check-charts had
been made over two month period
of. Colgate program and show that
"the drama picks up rating shortly
after going on the air, and that every
time a commercial is spelled, the rat
ing says"
FEC suggests more time on the air
for labor, for educational programs,
for public forum events, and for the
views of significant minorities.
These and the control of advertising
excesses on the public's airways offer
fertile field for newly founded radio
listener councils.

Washington-(FP).-That long-suf-
fering soul, the poor radio listener,
can see a light of hope ahead in the
sensational 140 page report of the
Federal Communications Commissions
on "Public Service Responsibility of
Broadcast Licenses"
Though sensational, the report got
limited circulation in the daily press
because of its implied attacks on the
very advertisers that support the
newspapers.
In considering the role of the gen
eral public in connection with the
radio, FEC said "radio listener coun-
ellis can do much to improve the quail
ity of program service. Such councils,
notably in Cleveland, O., and Madison,
Wis, have already shown the posi-
bilities of independent listener organ

$10.68 to 1858 from their monthly

Lewis presented three page ac-

of the mining industry and charged
that "wilful negligence in the enforce

Radio Listener Councils Organized

needed channel through which listen
ers can convey to broadcasters the
wishes of the vast but not generally
articulate radio audience. Second, lis
tener councils can engage in much
needed research concerning public
tastes and attitudes. Third, listener
councils can check on the failure of
network affiliates to carry outstand-
ing network sustaining programs, and
on the local programs substituted.
Fourth, they can serve to publicize
and to promote outstanding programs
- especially sustaining programs
which at present suffer a serious ham
dicap for lack of the vast promotion
al enterprise which goes to publicize
many commercial programs.
"Other useful functions would no
doubt result from an increase in the
number and extension of the range of
activities of listener councils, cooper
ating with the broadcasting industry,
but speaking solely for the interest
of listeners themselves"
Although the FEC didn't name
"Pepsi-Cola's" musical jingled adver-
tising or the equally bad "G-G-G-
Washington" coffee tune, there is a
germ of suggestion for effort on the
part of radio listener councils in its
report that the FEC "has no desire
to concern itself with the particular
length, content, or irritating qualities
of particular commercial plugs"
Instead of operating as the law re-
quires, ain the public interest" radio
is going along on the theory expound-
ed by Duane Jones, of one of New
York's five largest advertising agen-
cies, that "the best radio program is
in the one that sells the most goods" "
Soap opera, the continued drama
tized story, is radios biggest support
er with Proctor & Gamble Uvory
Soap) spending $22 million on radio
advertising in 1914 for total of 1000
hours a week.
FEC quoted Duane Jones as argu-
ing that any arbitrary curtailment
of commercials would seriously i'm
pair the audience value of these
shows" and that "when we increase
the number and length of commercials
on the air to test our programs, IN
variably their Crossley ratings go up"

The worlds No. / problem today
confronts the United Nations Relief
and Rehabilitation Administration -
how to feed the starving populations
of Europe and Asia when the worlds
grain bins are bare. The shortage ex-
tends to other bread grains as well
as wheat, to rice, peas, beans, soy
beans and even animal fodder. At
stake are the lives of millions of peo-
pie.
Through June, the wheat consuming
countries in Europe and Asia must i'm
port more than 100000 tons OF
wheat, while only 100000 tons are
in sight. For the 9 liberated countries
in Europe and for China, which is
helping feed, UNRRA's minimum re-
quirements for bread grains alone are
100000 tons month. From all pos
sible sources, only part of this guam
tity will be available, according to
present indications.
Disastrous drought in 1915 hit most
of the worlds major grain sources.
Wars destruction ravaged the fertile
wheat fields of China and The
Ukraine. Throughout southeastern
Europe, liberated countries could only
take hobbling steps toward agricul-
tural recovery when the worst drought
in quarter of century shriveled and
shrank their first peacetime crops.
UNRRA's problem-the problem of
preventing mass starvation-is furth-
er complicated by the fact that in the
countries receiving assistance, bread
and grain comprise major part of
the diet. Fats and meats are SO scarce
as to be negligible.
Food supplies, which loomed largest
in UNRRA's total shipments in 1916
admittedly saved at least million
men, women and children from star
walton last year. For the coming year,
when shipments are scheduled to
reach climax, food still ranks first.
Fighting the food battle on all
fronts, UNRRA officials have been in
constant communication with officials
and ministries in the main supplying
countries = Australia, Canada, the
United Kingdom and the United
States-striving for maximum pos
sible ALLEGATIONS of the scarce but
desperately needed grain.
Early in February, when the grain
crisis came to head, Governor Leh-
man former head of UNRRA, cabled

that the Assembly take "such action
as may seem fit and as may prompt

tries to utilize their imports and in

Pig Crop Expansion
By II Pct. Sought
In Next 8 Months

Maryland farmers have been re-
quested by the Agriculture Depart
ment to increase pig production by
II per cent during the first six
months of 1947, Joseph H. Bland
ford, State Production Marketing
Administration director, said last
week.
This means. Mr. Blandford said,
that Maryland farmers will be asked
to provide for the farrowing OF
"a, 900 sows, as compared to 1000
farrowed in l945.
Mr.. Blandford explained that hog
production in Maryland decreased
sharply during the war years be-
cause Of the short supplies Of grains
and feed. He said the prospects for
abundant feed supplies next year
should promote increases in live
stock production.
Mr.. Blandford also noted that
production figures just released OF,
farm machinery and equipment in
dicate a 13 per cent increase over
the July production figures.
The gains, Mr.. Blandford said,
were reflected in nearly all types
of farm equipment. including trac-
tors, dairy equipment and farm ma
chinery parts.
For example, he said, the July
production of tractors totaled Is, COL
while in August 23,8H came of the
assembly lines. Mr.. Blandford
warned, however, that present short
ages of steel may further hamper
production of farm machinery at
this time.

Prices Paid Farmers
Rise 1873 Per Cent

The Bureau Of Agricultural Eco
nomics reported last week that the
index of prices received by farmers
increased 1873 per cent, or 80 points
during the month which ended
October IS. The gains, led by all
time high hog prices, boosted the
index to 273 per cent of the 1909
1914 average, the bureau said.
At the same time, prices paid by
farmers for commodities bought for
family maintenance reached new
peak at 231 per cent of their 1909
1914 average.
The bureau said the parity index
prices paid, interest and taxes
advanced seven points. or 3.5 per
cent to 207 per cent of the 1s10-1914
average. This places the average
parity ratio at 1872, or nine points up
from the previous record of 1913, the

Pot Bulbs Now for Early Bloom
Simple Rules With Eye on Temperature
Will Make Task Easy and Pleasant
By Wilbur H. Younemon

Potted flowers are especially de-
sirable in early spring and FORE
sighted gardeners set aside a few
bulbs now for potting. Even the
snowdrops. ory-of-the-snow, and
crocus make a pleasing show in
doors, but tulips, hyacinths and DAFT
fodils are the most SNOWY and the
ones most generally potted.
Simple rules should be observed.
Obtain shallow pots, commonly
known as bulb pans. A 6-inch bulb
pan will hold four to six tulip bulbs,
three hyacinths, three daffodils or
eight to ten crocus, snowdrops or
scilla. The smaller sized pan is
preferred.
How to Mix Soil.
The soil mixture should provide
good drainage yet be rententive of
moisture. Two parts Of good gar
den loam, two of sand, two of leaf
mold or peat moss, and one of we'll
rotted manure is a good mixture.
Lacking the cow manure, peat moss
and q light sprinkling of COM
pIete commercial fertilizer may be
substituted. Mix carefully before
using.
Place a layer of broken pots or
gravel in the bottom and cover with
peat moss. An inch layer of soil is
placed on top and the bulbs are
then placed in position. The re-
mainder of the soil is added and
firmed. The soil should be about
one-half inch below the pot rim.
Place in some sheltered situation
out of doors where they will be
thoroughly chilled, but where freez-
ing is unlikely. Tender bulbs should
be kept in a cool, dark but FROST
proof place indoors.
The bulbs should be ready to be
brought indoors after six or eight
weeks. The exact time will depend
upon the time of Towering de-
sired. but can begin as soon as suf-
ficient root growth has taken place.
This is easily checked by lifting a
pot and noting if the roots are
showing through the drainage hole
in the bottom of the pot.
Indoors, the pots should first be
placed in a cool and not too light
room. While we talk of forcing
bulbs, this refers to the season and
not to the temperature. Actually
the hardy, early spring Towering
