This "soil surgeon" is designed
for use in plowed field only. 1t
does the work of a double disc,
spike-toothed harrow and a float
and is said to give you finer,
smoother seeded in half the
time.
in the soil, thereby making for
quicker termination and a higher
yield.
Sturdy and simple, the soil sur
geon consists of two heavy steel
pans with raised sides, to permit
loading with dirt for added weight.
These may be used singly or bolted
together, depending on the desired
width to be covered.
To the bottom of each pan are
bolted 20 double-edged cultivator
knives, each provided with a bear
ing to permit it to follow easily
and automatically the tractors line
of travel. These heavy-duty knives
slice the four and one-haf inches of
soil into one-inch strips, while the
action of the pan pulverizes,
smooths and levels the sliced soil
in way not approached by any
other instrument currently in use
on the farm.
The field should first be worked
in the direction of blowing, using
as many sections side by side as
the tractor can pull with weight
adjusted. The final finish is OBJ
tanned by pulling the soil surgeon
across the line of burrows. The
soil surgeon should also be used as
a crust breaker for all oncoming
crops to mulch and kill small
weeds.

FIRST AID to the
- A|L|NG HOUSE
by Roger c. Whitman

QUESTION: Our builder made
the error of placing the finished
flooring in the same direction as
the sub-fooring, rather than have
the latter run diagonally. AS re-
suit, there is considerable vibra-
ton in our floors-both upstairs
and downstairs. Foundations, iron
columns, etc., seem to be in ac-
cord with good practice. Is there
any way this condition could be
corrected? I assume the only way
the second floor could be fixed is
to rip up the finished flooring.
ANSWER: Sometimes vibration
in floors is due to understood floor
joists, or too wide a spacing be-
tween them. 1t might be possible
to overcome the vibration by plac-
ing additional bridging in the form
of an "X' between the floor joists.
This can be cut from two-by-fours
or you can use a metal bridging
on sale at hardware stores and
building material yards. A girder
across the joists with an iron col
umn support will further reinforce
the floor. The second floor floor
ing will have to be taken up and
relaid but great care will be re-
CURED to avoid damaging the cell
ing. While the floor is up, see that
there is cross-bridging between
the joistS.

Soil Surgeon Declared
Seeded Making Boon
Performs Multiple Work.
Cuts Needed Time in Half

A new, efficient device for pro-
ducing finer, smoother seedbeds is
the "Soil Surgeon now on the mar
ket.
Designed for use in a plowed
field only, the device does the COM
bined work of a double-disc, spiked
toothed harrow and a foat-and
manufacturers declare it gives the
farmer a finer, smoother seeded
in half the ordinary time.
The exclusive use of the soil sur
geon after blowing does not turn up
dormant weed seeds or plowed-
under vegetation, thus giving a
cleaner growing crop and richer
soil. 1t levels the ground, fills all
air pockets, and seals the moisture

Gold Output

In the last 60 years, South At
rica's gold output totaled several
billio dollars. Before the war this
highly organized and mechanical
industry was producing IS much as
300 tons of gold year. The parti-
cles of gold mined are so small as
to be hardly visible, and are dis
tributed through rock that must be
crushed. 1t takes $4,000 tons of
rock to yield a ton of gold.

W organ OF france TO nall the
administration program as def
nitely socialistic. Most of the rest
of the French press took about the
same view, even to the somewhat
lonely, pro-capitalistic Figaro which
said the message was "close" to
socialism.
The same view was taken by the
left-wing press in other European
countries-Q'm not counting the
Communists who merely rang the
old propaganda changes). How
ever, the independent Manchester
Guardian, long known as the rock
of liberalism and likewise as an
outstanding voice in British journal
ism, took a different tone. The
Guardian always has been exceed
ingly well informed concerning the
United States and probably under
stands America as well as any
foreign newspaper. 1t said:
"Mr. Humans program is
an indication that socialism is
not the only path for the left.
Its goal might be called the in
surance state. Its method the
deliberate shortening of the odds
against the weak. But without
abandoning the basically indi-
vidualist way of life which is
accepted as enthusiastically
American"
SOFT sol,
in this country, in congress and
out, chose to see Skipper Truman
charting a course for the Ship of
State which veered far to the left
of center, in fact headed straight
for the rocks on which free enter
prise, individual initiative, in fact
all phases of capitalism, would be
sunk without trace.
That, however, was not the
opinion of the majority of the Re-
publican party, and, already signs
are showing that it isn't the in
tention of the majority of the
Democrats to let such a catastrophe
overtake us, even if they think the
Skipper would be willing to risk it,
which they don't believe he is.
The alarmists point to the rather
startling suggestion on the part of
the President that the government
study production with a view to
offering loans to the steel and other
industries for expansion of plants
and increased production.
If the companies refuse to CO.
operate, it was suggested the
government-owned steel plants
would be erected. That does
sound like long step toward
naturalization of industry. But
other observers, both those who
consider the idea fatal to free
enterprise and those who be-
lieve in such gOvernment-run
ventures as the Tennessee Val
ley Authority, consider it more
of threat than a promise.
In that connection the recent con-
troversy behind the iron curtain
which had finally leaked out in
specific and detailed form is inter-
esting. One document consists of
reports of a three-day conference
of Soviet economists held last May,
the other is a study of Russian
economy during World War II, by
a member of the all-powerful
politburo. Both documents attack
the theories of Eugene Varga, in
ternationally known Russian econ
omist and former director of the
World Institute of Economics in
Moscow.

The Truman administration
soon will put pressure on Congress
for power to discourage ribbon
clerks" from speculating in the
grain, cotton and other farm
product markets.
Ribbon clerks" are the amateur
and small-fry traders who get the
urge to take a fling in the market
Also known in market circles as
lambs" they usually are f1eeced
by the market wolves"
The administration wants con-
trolls over the markets which
could be used to discourage the
nonprofesional from dabbling in
commodities.
Recalls 1947 Boom
In his recent economic report
to Congress, President Truman
said excessive speculation in
grains, cotton and other agricul-
tural commodities results in wide
and harmful fluctuations in
prices" :"
He recalled the great speculative
activity in commodities in the
fall of 1947. Grain prices We're
pushed to record levels. but in the
spring of 1948 prices tumbled
sharply and threw scare into the
public that the country was

Gulf have been finished. Util-
tiles, including railroads, high
ways and communications lines,
have been elevated at Krotz
Springs. Utility crossings are
being raised at Melville, and
plans are complete for a dam
structure at Morganza which
will carry utilities there.
Lock System Planned
When Morganza floodway /
opened, engineers say, much
water will flow through this
opening which otherwise would
race through Old River and the
Atchafalaya River and con-
tribute to their continued en-
largement.
The engineers plan to con-
troll the flow of water between
the Mississippi and Atchafa-
laya Rivers by building a new
spillway and navigation lock
in the Old River area. This
spillway would include a
needledam similar to that in
the Bonnet Care spillway, Is
miles above New Orleans.
1t would halt enlargement OF
Old River without eliminating
the Atchafalaya Basin as an
outlet for Mississippi River
floodwaters. 1t would permit
the engineers to control the
diversion of Mississippi River
water into the Atchafalaya
River in times of low stages.
when salt water from the Gulf
backs into the river at New
Orleans and creates a serious
problem.
An auxiliary part Of the Old
River area project would be q
levee system to limit the back
ing of water into the Red River
backward area, relieving some
areas now repeatedly flooded by
back water.
Folks who have been watch
ing the Mississippi River a long
time are confident that $29,-
OOO,0 900 or more will be spent to
keep Old Man River from me-
andering off and leaving the
city.

Secretary of Agriculture Brannan
said did not justify the tumble
He blamed excessive speculation.
The administration says it rec
ognizes that in the commodity
futures markets there is need fol
some speculation. Merchants ano
professors use such markets to
insure themselves against losses in
the value of their inventories OF
farm products. or losses on sales OF
processed products made for later
delivery.
The speculator performs func-
ton here in taking the price risk
Because merchants are able to
pass this risk on to spectators
they can sell their finished prod
ucts more cheaply.
The trouble comes. the admin
istration says, when too many
spectators and too much specula-
tive money get into the markets
Such dealings do not directly
involve the commodity, but pieces
of paper committing the traders to
deliver or take over a speclf1ed
quantity at some future date, or
to make a cash settlement.
If the trader buys" on the
theory that prices will 60 up, and
they do, he collects the difference
between his buying" price and
the price prevailing on the date OF
settlement.
