Behind The Scenes In
American Business

New York (SpeciaD-The old
fashioned virtue of saving money
has seldom been more widely pur-
sued and at the same time
more heavily criticized than
now. Liquid savings, by one esti-
mate, have increased some $40
billion in the last seven years
above The $2l9 billion in l945
yet O. every side experts are
asking, why bother?"
Mona aAd more money is going
into savings accounts, pensions
and trust fands - but because of
initiation there is less buying po-
yrr il she banl, book. If the
& billion in l845 is considered
1dH1 then liquid savings now
~ $3.50 baiion actually are
- though rated at approximate
worth oaiy $le8 billion. So the
effect is a drop of approximately
$2l b1lisa instead of a gain.
Saving for emergencies OF
against the possibility of a re-
ceSsion makes sense. Critics point
out, however, that if a man were
saving, for example, to put q
larger down payment on a house
or Car - that interest charges
would be lower, then he is fol-
lowing a dubious procedure. Quite
often in such circumstances prices

saved. ~.

the answer to the problem Some

mandatory. Accordingly. Schen-

FOLKLORE AND FACTS -
The old belief that farmers tofed
in their fields from sunup to sun-
down was debated by figures re-
leased recently. In the old days
it seems, farmers spent consid,
cradle time working off the farm
while in modern times long hours
in the fields are more of real
ity.
| Department of Agriculture fig.
ures show that in 1899 only s.
cents of every dollar earned by
farmers was earned on the farm

earned by odd jobs or part-tims
employment elsewhere. BY 194!
the income from crop sales jump
ed to 70 cents of every farmer
earned dollar and last year thi.
rose to 70 cents.
Best guess as to the reason To-
this trend is that farmers hav'
less need for outside income be
cause of increased profits on in
creased farm output. The averag'
