I'M The AR FORCE"
By EIoIno ToNnssnd DicIsrson

Sunday was opening duck season
here in Kansas. Hayes and Fred
Shirley assembled their hunting
gear and were ready for the first
day. I told Fred to come eat with
rs and then only one wife would
have to rise early.
The more the boys talked about
duck hunting the more others be-
came interested. So yesterday NOR
ming at 8 a. m, I got up to prepare
breakfast for six hungry hunters.
Hungry? I mean famishedl Those
Air Force boys consumed a pitcher
full Of orange juice, Is eggs, two
pounds Of bacon, two dozen rolls,
mound Of jelly, and is cups Of
cCnee. I'm surprised they could
even walk to their ponds. but ap-
parently they go to where the ducks
were. because at noon they beam
ingly placed % sad little ducks on
our front lawn.
While they were gone eight Of
us helped Betty Mutual celebrate
her BLANK-eth birthday. We all
took silly gifts to her, took our cof-
feet pots along and brought rolls
and buns, too. It helps make a
birthday kinda special away from
ones family. when neighbors help
celebrate.
Hayes tonight is at the municipal
airport, checking over his plane for
his all day fight to Delaware. The
base weather man forecasts tail
winds tomorrow and he is anxious
for everything to be all set with
the PAGER in the morning. So when

go above average. This means
plenty of the Boston speciality for
all hands! The U. S. rice crop naay
amount to about 48,700,000 bags-
an amount easily sufficient FOR all
requirements. The potato crop
(grOwn in % states) of 313 3,527 900
bushels is about average size, and
should have no difficulty meeting
late fall and winter needs. Prices
should work higher later on.
Farmers Should Continue To Do
Fairly Well
All this adds up to fairly good
times for the American farmer,
although prices of farm products
for the first eight months of this
year averaged about SO lower
than in the corresponding period
of 1854. Efficient, welllmanaged
farms are still making money,
despite the fact that the cost of
things the farmer buys is still
relatively high. The going, OF
course. is tough and always has
been for the small, inefhcient farm
but, as / view the situation, Ameri-
can agriculture is doing well.
Since 1856 is a presidential cleo
ton year, the farmers well-being
will top the agenda when Congress
reconvenes in January. Whether
high, h,rigid supports viii be re-
stored, or the flexible system fur
ther extended, remains to be seen

Wheat And Other Summer Crops
A number Of summer crops al
ready have been harvested, and
the final official tallies probably
will not differ materially from
the published estimates. Although
the total wheat crop of nearly
917, 100000 bushels is down 20ao
from the 1944-1953 average, total
supplies for the current season are
huge, since the carryOver last July
topped a billion bushels by a size
able margin. Most of it, however,
was in government hands. This
fact, plus the government loan on
the 1855 crop, may result in higher
average wheat prices letter in the
season.
The barley crop is the second
largest on record,-some SS6,0OO,O0O
bushels. This is enough to 60

ful supply, with the crop the third

HUMANS ARE FALLIBLE

eve ask those who seek to Shackle Tree
and open competition to reflect on the con-
sequences said Henry Ford, ii, recently.
"The short-range effect might be to afford
a measure of protection for those in a weak
or competitive position. The lOng-range eff
feet could only be to put damper on Amer
ica's constantly rising standard OF living by
penaliZing the most important man in our
economic systematic consumer.
There is another important factor inVolV-
ed here. Human fallibility being what it is,
no one is wise enough to say with accuracy
who may be and who may not be in a weak
competitive position. No one can do more
than offer an opinion which time may prove
to have been in grave error. A perfect eX-
ample is found in the campaign of. 2O-Odd
years ago to shackle the chains with punitive
taxes and other class legislation, on the
grounds that this was the only way to save
the independents from extinction. Had that
goal been accomplished on a national scale,
/ it is obvious that competition would have
been lessened, at a tremendous cost to con-
sumers. Luckily it didn't happen. But the
independents didn't die either. They met the
chain competition with merchandising tech
niques that pleased the public. So today
chains and independents operate cOmpeti-
lively side by side, with each doing well, and
each with its established and respected place
in the community.
When we attempt to replace natural eco
nOmic law with human judgment-and par
ticularly, political jUdgment--We are begg-

A RELEVANT QUESTION

According to Newsweek, "Business is in
for its worst political pounding in years in
a series of Investigations covering nearly
every phase of enterprise"
Without debating the merit or justice of
any particular investigation, this question
seems relevant: Will purely political cOnsid-
erations, in an election year, lead to a ruth
less below-the-belt attack on the enterprises
and institutions which have given this cOun-
try full employment, record purchasing pow
er. and working and living conditions which
would seem all but unbelievable in most Of
the rest of the world?
