Farm fiocks laid a record Nov.
production of 1921, 100000 eggs
6 per cent more than in same
month last year and about 11a
times the 1936-45 average for Nov.
Most of this increase was attribut-
ed to a record rate of lay-5 per
cent above the previous high of
last year.
Egg production reached record
levels in the North Atlantic, East

where it exceeded last years pro-
duction from 10 to Is per cent. 1t

AS basis for a new agreement
between U. S. and Mexico, the
House Agricultural Subcommittee
on F-M disease submitted its rec
concentrations for continuing the
fight on FIN to the Mexican-U. S.
Commission just before the latter
met the fore part of last week.
Subcommittee said it should be
understood that present program
is not an abandonment, but a post
ponement, for the FIN eradication
effort. Briefly, here's what Sub
committee recommended:
1. About effort by U. S. and
Mexico to hold quarantine line
Immediately north of present in
fected area, including sterile
zone as wide as possible south of
such line in which all infected and
exposed animals will be subject to
immediate slaughter and burial.
2. Extension and enlargement of
that sterile zone as rapidly as Cir
cumstances will. permit, with vac
cination being employed by the
Commission only as an adjunct to
quarantine.
8. Research on prevention and
control of FIN and its economic
impact on u. S. and Mexico.
4. Creation of an office of execu-
tive director of the campaign, who
shall have full authority and be re-
sponsible only to the u. S. Secre-
tary of Agriculture.
5. There shall be Congrega-
tional observer to report to Con-
gress on progress of the campaign
from here on in.
6. Cost of the program shall be
shared by the two Governments on
substantially same basis as immed-
lately prior to Nov. 26.

Milk production on farms in U.
S. during November is estimated
at 81 billion lbs, 2 per cent below
same month in 1916 and lowest for
the month since 1943, BAE points
out in its Dec. 1 crop report.
Decrease was attributed to the
smaller number of milk cows being
fed less high-priced concentrate

Freight Rates

The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton opposes any further in
crease in freight rates. This fact
was impressed upon the Interstate
Commerce Commission, Dec. s, in
a statement in which Pres. Edw
A. O'Neal appealed to ICC to as
sumo its responsibility to the pub
lie during the present inflationary
crisis.
The Commissions responsibility
"Goes far beyond merely maintain
ing a profitable transportation sys-
tem," Pres. O'Neal stated, making
the point that freight rates should
be held at present levels until the
future is more clearly revealed.
1.-THE farmer knows that once
freight rates are increased they
tend to remain high after farm
prices have fallen" he said.
Quoting the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics, he said that in
1889 transportation accounted for
over 10 per cent of the spread be-
tween what the consumer paid and
what the farmer received for his
products.

New castle County Farm Bureau


Directors and members of the
New Castle County Farm Bureau
met at the office of the County Ag-
ricultural Agent last week to plan
the membership campaign for
194S.
Mr.. w. H. Jump of Houston, was
the principle speaker and told OF
the need for land owners to belong
70 an organization like the Farm
Bureau if they wished to see agri-
culture prosper. Mr.. Jump told
how farmers had to bear the tax
burden in former years without re-
lation to income. That taxes should
de assessed in relation to income
and not on property as many prop
erty owners are carrying heavy
mortgages. Mr.. Jump told of re-
cent attempts to shift more of the
taxes to real estate and urged
farmers to be ready through or
ganization to insist that taxes be
raised through income. That with
out income farm and home owners
cannot pay.

course, no axiom in economic the
ory and no principle in political
practice which says that govern
ment costs must remain below food
costs. But it would seem a good
deal more sensible if that were the
case.
Federal spending, per capita,was
S316 last year. Taking the round
number of $500, the per capital
outlay was S104 for defense, S54
for veterans aid, s45 for foreign
loans and similar items, S35 for in
terest, SIS for refunds, S11 for gen.
eral government expense, and the
remaining S36 for all other outlays.
Obviously, government outlays
will have to be brought within rea-
son. When half the federal bud
get is attributable to war and de-
fense items, however, the present
state of the world does not make
that goal seem attainable in the
very near future.

Four-Leaf Clover
From Joe Stain
APP Newsfeatures

Shanghai-Charles E. French,
of Huntington Park, Calf, has
been trying for several years to
get a four-leaf clover from So
Wet Premier Joseph Stain.
French. who calls himself
Glover Charlie, conveyed this
information to Mrs. Barbara
Violin, secretary of The Associ-
ated Press bureau in Shanghai,
to whom he wrote after seeing
a photo depicting her with a
pile of Chinese banknotes, rep
resenting a months salary.
French asked Barbara for q
four-leaf clover from Shanghai.
She replied they were hard to
get here. He wrote her again
and, in the course of his letter,
which he enjoined her to read
carefully, he said he had no
four-leaf clovers from Italy,
France or Yugoslavia, land
should you run across any from
any of those places, and can
spare them. I'd be rather tickled
to have them"
He had, he said, a letter from
Gen. Charles de Gaulle-"but
no clover"-and he expected
both a letter and a clover from
the Pope, to whom he intended
to write.

formerly worked in Gulfport and

City Of Future Will Be Smaller And
Cover More Area, Tax Institute Soys
APP Newsfeatures


New York;. S. cities had
better make up their minds
they will continue to lost popu-
lation and may eventually have
about half as many residents as
they have today, says the Tax
Institute in its quarterly pub
LEGATION TAX Policy.
The institute, a national or
ganization for the study of tax
problems, pictures the city of
the future not only as having
less people, but as being some
what larger in area. Transport
facilities are likely to take up
far more space than at present
and the institute believes there
should be spacious public build
ings; plazas; shopping, art, edu-
cation and religious centers;
parks and parkways.
Land in cities of the future
is likely to be a drug on the
market unless appropriated for
such purposes and in any ease
there is likely TO be consider
able reduction in land values,
the institute suggests. Detached
dwellings with grass plots may
well return to currently con-
gested areas.
Suggesting that traffic con-
gestion is one of the major
problems, the institute denoun-
ces current reasoning which
insists that "if We improve traf-
fic conditions, it will encour-
age more people to start COM
muting and that will intensity
urgan blight and also result in
further traffic congestion.
So, the institute says, we have
people advocating or at least
implying that we mustn't make
it easier for city dwellers TO
have cars and use them, that we
should discourage suburban de-
velopment, and that we should
try TO bait the outgoing popula-
ton back into the city"
A period of confusion is like
ly to prevail while the pres
ent cities are converted to their
future status, but the institute
predicts a greater stability for
urban land values once the pro-
cess is complete.
Surveying present trends, it
deduces a picture of the typical
future city. AS a political and
physical entity it would be
much less clearly defined than
the present city. 1t would merge
gradually into the countryside.
Although resident populations
might be only half as numerous
as at present, there would be
three other classes of population
which would be increasingly
important. There would be the
semi-residents who would often
leave the city for week-ends
and at other times. There
would be a sharp increase in
the number of commuters and
there would be a heavy increase
in Contact populations who
would work and live outside
the city but who would make
frequent trips to the metropoli-
tan area.
The city of the future will
be a "fluid city" ut will be
the hub of a great regional COM
munity, or community of COM
munities."
