tant about his supporting the
measure.
Yes, as think about it, it seems
to me that Farm Bureau pretty
well agrees on the kind of legis-
lation it believes is best for all
the farmers; then it helps the
congress to weigh the merits of
the bill; it then uses its influence
to win support of the measure.
After the legislation is enacted
and the program is put in force,
it tries to follow through to see
.hat il is properly executed as
efficiently and economically as
possible.
Now, honestly, Bill, don't you
think that an organization that
does that is worthy of your mem
bership? Come on across with

Letters To A Former
Dear Bill:

I'm glad you and Mary dropped
by to visit with me the other
night, but I'm still sorter at outs
with you because you wouldn't
give me your Farm Bureau men,
bership dues. Maybe l shouldn't
be too provoked with you, because
to tell you the truth you have
made me do some thinking, and |
guess that is good for anybody.
l kept thinking, Bill, about
what you said about Farm Bureau
not being worth your ten dollars.
Now I'm not the smartest guy in
the world, and / don't understand
everything about how laws are
made, how farm programs come
into being. or how policies affect
ing agriculture are set. Just from
where / sit on my own farm, it
sometimes looks like. lot of these
things are determined by people
who don't understand farming or
farmers. That's why it is so i'm
portant for farmers to see that
their wants are made known in
some way.
Now, you said the other night
that you voted for the senator and
congressman to do the job for you,
and that you are looking to them
to see that the right sort of laws
affecting you as a farmer are pas
sed. That's right. The only hitch
is that they can't always do it..
Now that doesn't reflect on their
ability: it simply means that no
one person - even a senator -
is smart enough to be able to
study and analyze the thousands
of bills that pass through the hop
per each year. The Washington
office of the American Farm
Bureau tries to acquaint the con-
gress with the merits or dement's
of each bill affecting agriculture.
That is tremendous help to the
congressman.
But, Bill, the greatest help from
Farm Bureau comes when the
vote is cast in congress. I've never
been to Washington, but / know
that sectional and partisan lines
are pretty clear-cut when most
measures come up, and that even
the best congressman Gas ours are)
can control only so many votes. He
may swap few more. But on the
really big issues somebody, some
where, has to be strong enough to
persuade congressman from other
sections of the country and on the
other side of the fence to vote
with us.
And that's where Farm Bureau
comes in, Bill, they are the some
body who, during the last decade
have been able to line up congress
so that every major piece of legis-
lation affecting the farmer has
been, the kind of legislation that
the members of Farm Bureau
want. They have done it by plan
ming a program that helps the
farmer regardless of where he
lives or to what political party
he belongs. Then they have ac-
quainted their legislators with
their desires and asked their sup
port. And, just maybe. some
times they have been quite insis-

do not put a freezer tightly
into a niche with walls on 3 sides
because circulation of air is need
ed to carry off the heat gener-
ated."
A further point stressed is the
importance Of strong flooring.
Even an empty freezer is heavy.
An upright freezer puts more
weight per square foot on a floor
than a horizontal one of the same
capacity.
Whensa family seeks the best
place for a freezer, usual pros
poets are the kitchen, utility room,
basement. and garage. In some
localities, a back porch or shed or
other clubhouse may provide suit
able temperature, dryness, and
flooring.
While the kitchen often seems
the handiest place for home
freezer" DR.. McCracken COM
ments, convenience can usually
play second fiddle to good operat-
ing conditions because the freezer
need be opened only once or twice
a day. A point to consider is that
a kitchen or utility room is likely
to be warm, and operation of a
freezer will add heat.
''If basement location is con-
|, sidered, keep the freezer well
apart from the furnace. Don't
put a freezer in a basement if
there is a chance of flooding"
Last but not least, adds the ply
sicist, if a freezer is to be carried
through doorways or up or down
stairs, it is wise family that
takes measurements before the
freezer comes home.

Behind The Scenes In
American Business
by Reynolds Knight

NEW YORK, April IL - Last
week the Federal Reserve board
reduced its margin requirements
on listed stocks. This means that
now you have to put up only $50
in cash for each $500 of securities
you buy - instead of SIS, as be-
fore. The step was taken, the
Board said, in the light of gen.
eral credit conditions"
So once again an economic body
takes an action that could only
have had it's inspiration in poll
tics. Back in November, the au-
thorities were demanding they be
given laws and more laws to con-
troll initiation. Prices were just
running away, they said, and
more laws were needed in the
public interest. Suddenly they
reversed their field. The prob
lem, they apparently discovered,
was not initiation but "disinfla-
ton" This last word was a nice
nelly way of admitting that peo-
pie were buying less and prices
were falling. So now the authori-
ties want to puff some more air
in the balloon. First they eased
installment credit terms, making
it easier for people to buy goods
on time. And now they are try
ing to give the stock market a
shot in the arm. But they still
want more laws and more con-
trolls.
MULTIPLE PERSONALITY -
A current trend of u. S. industry
to swing into diversified realms
of activity is regarded by pro-
gressive business leaders as high
ly beneficial to both the country
and to industry.
BY putting its eggs in several
baskets, a company not only bene-
fits from a broader base Of opera
tons, but also adds to the general
economy through increased en-
ployment.
A prime example of this "mul-
tiple personality" is that of
Schenley Industries, Inc, a firm
usually associated with produc-
ton of distilled beverages only.
This company also turns out large
quantities of feed by-products for
livestock, and is one of the ma
TONS largest producers of PENCIL
lin.
It's application of production
know-how to penicillin output
has resulted in series of % price
reductions of the drug since 1945.

INITIATION
 FLUTTERING
 IN CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, Dac. 5-R- Warnings of imitation are flutterine again in the capital, but most oi the economic lookouts discount any immediate peril. They see. fairly steady, prosperous sailing through cut 1850.
 President Truman is not expected to revive his demands of a yeal ago for drastic standby" anti imitation powers. This is despite the rise in credit to new peaks, the firming of prices, and the fall inn provement in business and en- ployment.
 Government economists and some private experts report the revival Of an "inflationary potential
 They base the report mainly on heavy in-the-red spending by the government and on the new round of age-and-pension increases.
 Yet few of them expect a major price whirl in the next 12 months.
 FORECASTS
 The "disinflation" is not over for some important industries. Many economists believe the long-range hazard is deflation.
 A consensus of the forecasts might boil down to this:
 1850 will be another year of high income and high production, on a level of prosperity not too unlike l949 and not far below record- smashing l948.
 Imitation warnings have been uttered by two bank presidents and ether witnesses before Senator Douglas (D-IlD economic suhcom- mittee. These have stirred specula- ton whether MT. Truman will again seek controls over prices, wages, commodity trading and ma terials allocation.
 AWAIT MESSAGE
 The decision, if it is not already made, will come in the next month as the President prepares his an- nual economic message to the new session of Congress.
 Persons in close touch with White House planning say a new bid TOT controls is unlikely and, even II one comes, would be turned down by Congress.
 This view is voiced by Senator Flanders of Vermont, a Republican manufacturer and a member of the Senate House Economic Committee who usually votes with the Demo- cratic majority:
 T don't see any reason for any imitation controls at all at this time. I think we are on pretty even keel right now"
