CLUTTED MARKETS

Back in the days when Monroe county
figured prominently among farming COM
munities in Florida, some seasons were
good and some seasons bad, and similar
trend always has prevailed in the produc-
ton of crops.
Because of government subsidies dur
ing this decade, farming has been more
successful than ever before in the history of
the country. Some subsidies are still given
by the government, but they do not apply
TO citrus fruits as a result of which losses
among citrus growers in Florida the last
two years have been tremendous.
Though farmers feed the world, yet
their calling always has been precarious.
Too much rain and droughts lasting too
long have been the cause of great losses.
But that is not the only factor that has
kept down the regular receipts by farmers.
When they have good seasons, so far as
growing conditions are concerned, the pro-
duction has been so abundant markets
have been glutted, and prices have fallen
steadily.
Glutted markets were the cause Of
the falling off of profits for citrus fruits
during the last two years. Bumper crops
were produced by Florida, California and
Texas, and though much of the fruit was
shipped to foreign markets, the remainder
was still too abundant to be absorbed by
sales at home. F'~
Then came the recurrent freezes in
California and Texas this winter, and it
was thought that the losses of citrus fruits
in those states would boost prices for the
production in Florida. But that indication
did not prove to be true, though prices in
wholesale markets were higher, but not
high enough to provide sufficient profit.
But Florida growers are hopeful now, by
reducing their own shipments so that
markets will not be glutted, to hike prices
to profitable planes.

SCANDINAVIANS WARY

The Danish Government suggests that
the United States is not serving the cause
of world peace by insisting, as condition
for military aid, that Denmark and Nor
way participate in the North Atlantic
Pact.
The position of Denmark outlined by
Foreign Minister Gustav Rasmussen, is
that Denmark, Norway and Sweden are
in principle agreed on the original defense
pact among the three Scandinavian coun-
tries but, if one reads between the lines.
the Scandinavian countries wish to re-
ceive assistance from the United States in
the way of military supplies, equipment
and paraphernala.
The United States, which has been
somewhat insistent upon participation in
the North Atlantic Pact as a condition
precedent to the sending of supplies
seems to be veering to the position that
there is no objection to a Scandinavian
Pact and that the United States will not
deny arms to its members but that arms
in the first instance, will go to nations
associated with the United States in a Sc
curity plan.

TALK ABOUT GOOD CHILDREN"

We feel like commencing Judge Ber-
nard j. ROetzel, of Akron Ohio, because
he recently talked commonsense about
youth and its problems
Stressing the large percentage of
well-behaved children in his county the
Judge said that folks should stop dwelling
on the misdoings of about 800 boys and
girls in the county" and talk about the
good children for change" It's an idea
that might do some so-called moral lead
ers lot of good.
Judge ROetzel expressed the view
that today's children are stronger physi-
cally and more alert mentally than child
rem of old and, what is more, they are at
least as emotionally stable as their some
times very much disturbed parents"
Referring to the youngsters who came
before his juvenile court, the Judge de-
clared that three out of every four "never
get into any trouble again" He blamed
parents for some of the shortcomings of
misguided youth, declaring that chill
dren are. in most cases, mirrors of their
parents and asserting that "many par
ents are not willing to accept the onerous
duties of parenthood."
