WHY Is it that the men who
w talk about labor costs
don't know how much labor
costs?
Why is it they know how to
break a JOB down into hum
dred different operations, but
they can't tell you how break
ing down job breaks down a
worker?
They've got it all figured out
with blueprints and fancy math-
ematical formulas; they know
which operation is slowing down
the job; and they can figure
how to put that job together
again to iron out all the
wrinkles.
HERE" they say, pointing
at a blueprint, have these wo-
men cut out craws. That'll
speed it up. So. they cut
craws, hour after hour, day
after day, week after week.

prevails in times of prosperity; in
depression the tide is the other way,
and during the last depression the
cities lost population.
There are two economic systems.
One, in agriculture, is competition;
the other, in industry, is maintain
ing price by cutting production. The
farmers system is fortunate in that
though they produce at half price,
or less, their increased production
reduces the relief payments.
Another significant contribution
to national economy is the roll of
farmers as custodians of the ma
TONS most valuable resource, the
soil. From it comes plant life to
maintain animal life. Serious think
ing brought about the rather recent
program of conservation. The user
of the land possesses it only during
his lifetime and although he should
conserve it for the use of his sue
cessor, to be a conserver he must
have enough income to be a success
full custodian.
AS to what is ahead for agri-
culture, the speaker stated the
American farmer is now in the best
position he has known; but, Tootell
asked, as this going to last?" AL
though students say farm prices are
due to go down, and dropped 60 to
60 per cent after the first World
war, it may not happen this time.
Manufacturers received cost-plus
during the war; farmers had sup
port prices, and will have 80 per
cent of parity for two years after
the wars end. An average price
drop of 20 per cent is expected in
1947.
Two factors will have much to do
with future prices: Working people
with money to buy; the extent to
which this country can find outlets
for surplus agricultural products.
A depressing surplus is expected
in the next few years, but Ameri-
cans are smart when it comes to
producing and it is reasonable to
assume they will be smart enough

I've got to admit there's some

about little things, like a woman's
