Night club patrons bored with the
usual routine OF dancers, singers and
comedians making with the enter
tainment at most After Dark spots,
are promised something different
this week by the Shoreham's Blue
Room. Appearing with Gomez and
Beatrice dancers, are the Inka
Taxi Trio. They are natives of
Peru, and feature songs of that re-
gion as we'll as South American folk
ballads and the more widely-known
rumbas.
The group made recent appear
ance here at a concert at the Pan
American Union. Max Lowe, the
Shoreham's entertainment overseer,
heard about them and dashed 6f
waving a contract.
Featured is Senorita Imma Su-
mack. According to her teacher,
Morises Bivanco, also a member of
the trio, she can sing in three reg
listers and compete with Lily Pons
right down to the wire when 1t
comes to hitting the high notes.
The three accompany themselves
on Inka 1--WE protested it was spelled
Inca, but Senor Bivanco protested
right back instruments.
In this country since 1916, they
have played hotel and concert dates

pearances at New York's Carnegie
Hall are booked for the Peruvians.

1t is to be hoped that this plan will be
carried out in an energetic and constructive
way in cooperation with state organiza-
lions. All too frequently in the past the en-
gineering phases of irrigation and other de-
velopment projects nave been completed
far ahead of any accompanying agricultural
conservation programs.
AS the department of agriculture now
points out, the two phases of basin devel-
opment should proceed together.

animals are bred, involving a period of
three to five years for beef animals"
The senator points out that after the
long-range section of the new law becomes
effective Jan. l, 1850, the secretary of agri-
culture could announce that the price of
wheat would be supported at a minimum of
80 percent of parity, for instance, during
the forthcoming marketing year. Then on
July l next, when the crop or marketing
year for wheat began, the secretary could
announce the actual support price COM
puted on the basis of 80 percent of parity.
Farmers who planted winter wheat that
fall, as well as those who seeded spring
wheat the following spring, would then
adjust their plans as they saw fit. Acreage
that would be Improbable on the an
nounced price basis could be withdrawn
from production.
In a similar way, the secretary could an
nounce the support prices for so-called
nonbasic commodities we'll ahead of the
planting season.
The hope behind the forward pricing
plan is that farmers will adjust acreage in
accordance with the announced price,
keeping production in reasonable balance
with demand and thus making marketing
quotas and acreage allotments unneces-
sary. There is considerable doubt that the
program would work that smoothly but
even if only partially effective it would
lessen the task of dealing with the surplus
problem.

flation of farm prices that followed World
war l because there is now a we'll estab-
lished national policy providing reasonable
price supports for farm markets. But they
know the days of easy profits are tapering
off and that good management and effici-
ency will become more and more important
in the years ahead.
So prudent operators are studying their
enterprises with an eye to the probable
price conditions of the years ahead. They
are deciding what to do with grain land
that won't be profitable to cultivate if
wheat sells for $1.50, or perhaps less. And
stockgrowers are considering what changes
will be necessary in their operations when
livestock prices get down to postwar nor
mails. They dom know what those levels
are going to be but they know that they
will be a good deal lower than they are
now.
AS one Montana farmer put it recently,
Anybody can make money the way things
have been the last few years but it won't
be long before it will take more than a
heavy foot on the throttle to make a profit"

Straws in the Wind

Competition between feeder buyers and
packer buyers is an important factor in
determining the number of calves available
for feedlots. Feeder buyers ordinarily pay
more for range calves when cattle numbers
are increasing than do the packers. But
when cattle are scarce it often works the
other way. Condition of the calves is also
an important factor. Last year the average
price paid for stock calves was only 2 per-
cent higher than for slaughter calves. That
is why a larger than normal percentage of
calves wen to the killers. Calf slaughter
under federal inspection last year was the
largest on record and As percent greater
than the average of the five-year period
1938-42.
Medium sized farms On the average make
a little larger net income than either large
farms or small farms in Illinois, a recent
survey shows. In Illinois, by medium
sized" they mean 40 to 299 acres. Labor
difficulties and costs nave been a serious
problem on overly large farms, whether
they are in Illinois or Montana.
Parity is "modernized" in the farm bill
enacted at the last session of congress.
After 1919 it will be based on a moving
average for the last 10 years. This formula
will result in higher parity for livestock
and livestock products but lower parity
for most crops, particularly grains.
Most market observers agree that price
peaks for numerous farm commodities have
already been seen. Grain in particular has
broken sharply from levels of last Janu-
airy. 1t is going to take better planning for
profitable operations during the next few
years.

DURING the war years and thus far
- in the postwar period, maximum farm
production has been both patriotic and
profitable. Spurred on by high prices for
farm products and the governmental urg-
ing to produce to the limit, farm and ranch
people have been operating on an about
basis except where shortage of labor or
equipment proved a limiting factor.
The result of this strenuous program
coupled with favorable growing conditions
has been record breaking production in
nearly every line. And in the process farm
ers have made substantial progress in pay
ing their debts and building up reserves for
less favorable times.
Now, thoughtful producers are beginning
to ~readjust their thinking and planning
from volume production regardless of cost
to a program of efficient low-cost produc-
ton. They note the indications of an early
falling off of the export market and they
are convinced that the peak of prices for
most farm products has been passed.
They do not anticipate the destructive de-

Forward Pricing After 1850

ONE of the serious defects of price sup
port programs in the past has been the
delay in announcing the basis on which
supports would be provided. Crops were
planted before the farmer knew the degree
of price support that would be maintained.
Farm leaders have long urged that pro-
vision be made for forward pricing so the
grower would know what he could depend
on before he put the seed in the ground.
If there were a shortage of the particular
commodity an attractive support basis
would encourage greater production. On
the other hand, if a surplus threatened and
a more moderate support level were indi-
Gated, farmers would be in a position to
reduce acreage.
1t is encouraging to know that the long
range section of the farm bill enacted at
the last session of congress makes such for
ward pricing possible. This was made clear
by Sen. George Aiken, chairman of the
senate agriculture committee in a recent
statement.
81 want to point out that in working out
the senate portion of the farm bill, the
committee worked closely with the experts
in the department of agriculture and that,
according to legal experts in the depart
ment, the bill definitely does permit for
ward pricing, at least for a considerable pc
Rod, say one year, on such commodities as
wheat and corn.
with regard to forward pricing in the
case of meat animals, I think it is question
able whether such pricing should ever go

United States and Britain, she holds
the secret of the atom bomb and
she has relatively small but tough
airforce, navy and army, which con-
tributed materially to victory in
World War II.
Some people say this is despite
Mackenzie King rather than be-
cause of him. Some say he has re-.
tarded the nation rather than de-
veloped it. Some say he has allowed
it to be drawn too much within the
economic and political orbit of the
United States. Some say he still
holds too much to the sentimental
ties of Britains apron strings.
Role of Interpreter
Actually, his own view is that
Canada should stand between Brit
ain and the United States, inter-
preting one country to the other.
In that capacity, there obviously is
less danger of Canada losing its
identity through submergence by its
big southern neighbor or by undue
enmeshment with British Empire
affairs.

Mackenzie King Says
Avoid Mistakes
To Succeed
By Robert BunneIle

L \
Mackenzie King is a plain, plump,
little man who has walked the mid
die of the road to fame.
Nobody would notice him in a
crowd of strangers. But when he
retires toward the end Of this year
he will have been Prime Minister of
Canada longer than any one else
ever has held an equivalent post in
Britain or the United States.
Why?
Mr.. King, who already has headed
Canada's government more than 20
years, in effect cultivates humble
effacement to achieve the spectacu-
lar. Although he sometimes jokes
with reporters about his sober lack
of showmanship, he really uses
mediocrity as a kind of protective
coloring.
Has Simple Formula
A man who has integrated and
guided. his country from little more
than colonial status to leadership
among the middle nations of the
world, Mr.. King often is asked his
formula for political success.
Oversimplified, it's approximately
this: Avoid mistakes"
From discussions and quotations,
Mr.. Kings political philosophy can
be summarized in somewhat this
way:
What is prevented often is more
important than what is performed.
The more experience gain in pub
lie life, the more and more I realize
it is the greatest mistake to take too
decided a position at the outset.
Too rigid a position creates opposi-
ton. 1t is better to get our point
without saying anything"
Mr.. King feels there is force in
human affairs which keeps them
going toward good ends if nothing
interferes and that the political job
is to prevent such interference.
That, he says, is unspectacular, but
it succeeds.
He compares the process to pre-
ventive medicine. Some day." he
says, some of the things I have
prevented will become known
Although the strain of the war
and postwar problems show plainly
in his face and manner, Mr.. King
at 73 still has surprising bouyancy.
Increased Canada's Stature
Mr.. Kings hard work shows best
in Canada's emergency as a nation.
His first step in this direction was
taken at the British Imperial Con-
ference in London in 1926. There
Mr.. King made strong but care
fully reasoned plea for autonomy
within the British Empire, paving
the way for the Statute of West
minister in 1881. ..lg -....
Often accused by his foes of
bumbling. muddling, weakness and
indecision, Mr.. King was the man
probably most responsible for the
historic declaration of the 1926
meeting of British countries:
They are autonomous communi-
ties within the British Empire, equal
in status, in no way subordinate one
to another in any aspect of their
domestic or external affairs, though
united by common allegiance to
the crown and freely associated as
members of the British Common
wealth of Nations"
A few years later Mr. King inaug-
urated Canadas foreign diplomatic
service to send its representatives
throughout the world promoting its
trade and prestige.
