TODAY'S
BUSINESS
MIRROR
BY SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK N-The move to
get government out Of business
is getting up steam. And at the
same time the move to encour-
age business by incentive tax-cuts
seems little closer to reality.
Action on both sides Of the At
lantic this week point up the trend
away from big government and
toward more reliance on indiYid-
uals and private business to do
the job when the incentives are
there.
The rubber industry and the pri-
vate electric power industry are
the latest to have their hopes
aroused.
President Eisenhower has given
his blessing to the plan to sell the
government owned synthetic rub
Der plants to private companies
for production Of this wartime es.
sential and highly successful peace
time commodity.
Former President Hoover is urg
ing that the government halt its
inroads into the electric power
business and put its reliance on
private initiative and competition.
Bankers and investors have al
ready seen the relaxing Of the
U. S. Treasury's hold on interest
rates and cheap money, and the
return Of the management Of the
money and credit supply to the
Federal Reserve Banks. The heav-
lily 0yersubscribed new Iong-term
government bond offered this week
IS but the latest IN several steps
in this direction.
Earlier, too, were the ending Of
price and wage controls, and the
relaxing Of most material con-
trois.
Business, finance and industry
thus are working back toward the
free economy Of an earlier period.
Through periods Of war and de-
precision the government steadily
moved into business. II built and
operated plants. It is a sort Of
guaranteeing partner Of the farm
er and the home builder. For a
time it was the sole purchaser
and seller Of such commodities
as tin and rubber. II prodded the
steel industry into building more
mills by threatening otherwise to
build government steel plants.
The switch back may be slow,
| but It is steady and those bust.
nessmen who criticized the for
mer trend toward big government
are now taking heart.
Another step eagerly urged by
many businessmen is the prom
ised cut il taxes TO provide IL
centives for more efficient busi-
ness management and increased
investments.
Americans note today that the
British have beat them 70 it. Lon.
don Is cutting taxes. Personal and
corporate income taxes are going
down. Businessmen are getting
more liberal depreciation allow
ances. And the excess profits tax
is to end Jan. /.
The British treasury could use
all these revenues il is foregoing.
But the London government aims
at higher and more efficient In
dustrial production and says that
lower taxes win furnish the incen-
tive. Chancellor Of the Exchequer
Butler says: I'VE must Danish The
hopeless feeling that extra effort
! Is not worthwhile. =

when he can retire and get monthly

widow and children would get
monthly benefit payments if any

He pointed out that under the sur

"If this country ever expects to
really make fire prevention work, il
will have to come through a program
directed to the children i'm the schools
of the nation"
This solemn warning was given by
William Ecton, President Of the
Washington County Firemens AS
sociation, who was the guest speaker
at the regular weekly luncheon meet
ing of the Kiwanis Club held at the
Hotel Alexander on Thursday
In the absence of President Hart
sock, who was attending the Kiwanis
Convention in Richmond, Virginia,
the meeting was presided over by
Walter M. Daniels.
Mr. Ecton,, who was introduced
by Roy A. Letter, chairman of the
reception committee, spoke in con
nection with Fire Prevention Week
which is now being held, and opened
his talk on a rather dramatic note,
when he stated that Fire Chief John
Hall and Kiwanian Bill Paulsgrove
were unable to be present, as they
were at that very moment fighting a
fire in the 100 block of South
Potomac Street
The speaker said that Fire Pre-
vention Week across the nation al
ways comes in the week in which
October 9 falls, that being the day
back in 1871, when the great Chicago
fire took place He said that origin
ally it was Fire Prevention Day, but
it was not long before the fire chiefs
throughout the nation realized that
it would take more than one day a
year to awaken the public to the dan
gers of fire, and so it has been OK
tended for the full week. After
giving a number of statistics on the
damage of fire through the years
and what caused them, Mr.. Ecton
got down to the meat Of the subject
and that was: What can be done to
lessen the number Of fires"
The speaker then pointed out that
although tremendous damage and
loss of life has resulted from fires
started by people smoking in bed, il
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1953-10-15

is almost impossible TO stop the
dangerous habit because the average
man or woman believes there is no
danger in the habit, and they al
ways come up with the answer: ut
was just someone who was careless,
and we are always very careful"
Mr.. Ecton then touched on another
fire hazard that has resulted, not only
in terriically heavy damages, but
also in an alarming loss of life -
the use of exposed lighted candles.
In this connection, Mr. Ecton told
of an incident that happened a couple
Of years ago when the Firemen's
Association Of Washington County
put on a campaign to stop the use OF
open lighted candles at religious
services. Mr. Ecton said that it was
his job TO contact some Of the min
listers and ask for their cooperation,
and he said that when he called on
one minister in Hagerstown, the
answer he got was, Owe been using
lighted candles in special religious
services for twenty years, and I'm
not going to stop now"
Mr.. Ecton then told of a happier
ending to the firemen's campaign re-
garding the use Of these candles.
When the matter was brought to the
attention Of the School Board and
the Board Of County Commissioners,
the firemen received full cooperation
from both parties, and now the use of
/ exposed lighted candles in the
schools, for parties, etc, is strictly
forbidden.
In conclusion, Mr. Ecton made the
statemeDt regarding the program
in the schools, explaining that if the
children Of the nation were made to
realize the real danger Of fire, they
would carry that realization into
their adult lives, and so we would
eventually have a generation of men
| and women who are really fire pre-
vention conscious.
Mr. Ecton also highly praised the
work of John Hall, the Chief of the
Hagerstown Fire Department, and
appealed to all Kiwanians to give
him their fullest cooperation

off the sprink1ers for a few days
during this slack period. You'll save
water and labor.
2. Apply only enough water to fill
the soil with moisture throughout
the root zone Often when estab-
fishing new crops only few inches
of surface soil need be moistened.
The sprinkler system should be OPP
Grated long enough to supply this
moisture.
One of the most common abuses
is to operate it full-time throughout
the entire irrigation season when it
has been designed for full-time OPP
Grafton only during the period of
peak moisture demand, which usu-
ally occurs during the midsummer
months. This over-irrigation and
the resulting loss of water occurs in
the spring and fall.
In addition to the cost of the extra
water as well as the cost of apply
ing it, overirrigation may carry val
liable soluble nitrates below the
reach of the plant roots. This would
require the farmer to apply more
fertilizer to obtain good crop pro-
duction.
Overirrigation may also cause
drainage problems. If your sprin-
kler system is designed to cover the
farm in 10 days during the peak wa
ter-use period, running continuous
ly, then in the spring and fall it
will need to run only one-third to
one-half that time.
For successful results with a
sprinkler system, an adequate and
proper design cannot be over-em-
phasized. Information on proper de-
sign may be obtained from the deal
er, Agricultural Extension Service,
and Soil Conservation Service, the
Bureau of Reclamation, and private
irrigation engineers. With prop
erly designed sprinkler system
properly operated, you should pro-
duce as much as or more than you1
neighbor, regardless of his method
of irrigation.

Grain Program
lust Postponed

THE WHEAT PROGRAM of the
Food and Drug Administration has
been temporarily postponed on wee
vii infestation and rodent contain
nation to allow an accelerated edu-
cationa1 program to reach the grain
industry, especially at the country
level. There has been no change
with respect to mercuric treated
grain or distinctly low quality grain
or plugged cars.
Federal grain standards consider
a sample weevilly which contains
two or more live weevil per 1000
grams. 1000 grams is approximately
11s quarts. Weevilly grain refers
to all storage insects and includes
all grain storage insects which are
injurious to grain, such as granary
weevil, rice angoumois moth and
numerous grain beetles.
Weevil damaged kernels count in
the total damage allowance for each
grade. Such kernels have no value
for flour production and are undesir-
able because of reduced flour yield
and an added insect fragment in
the flour.
Grain storage insects can be great
1y reduced and perhaps eliminated
by proper housekeeping in granaries
and farm elevators. Many growers
deliver clean wheat free of grain
storage insect and rodent contamina-
ton. They keep their grain clean by
keeping the interior and exterior
premises clean. Spoiled grain is
never allowed to accumulate under
or near the farm bins. Grain stor-
age insects, rats and mice will all
stay where there is ample food for
them.
