have some other groups in recent
years:
Farmers prices declined about "A
per cent since the peak in 1851.
met farm income declined about
80 per cent since the peak In l948.
4sThe parity ratio declined from 123
in 1916 to Sc in 1854 (December.) !"
In contrast to these declining
trends, the Federal Reserve reports
shows:
sNon-farm income is up about 43
per cent since 1948.
"The costs of farming have stayed
near peak levels-only two per
cent decline since 1851.
wages paid to factory workers
are at an all time high-three times
the 1910 level.
Farmers as group are relatively
worse off than at almost any time
since Just before World War III, the
report concludes.
The result of this worsening condi-
ton of agriculture, the Agricultural
leader concluded, is that more and
more farmers are being forced off
the farm-100,000 per year; the
whole economy is effected because
farmers cannot buy the farm machin-
cry and other goods they need in
their operations, which hurts the
farm machinery industry in particu-
lar, and the entire economy gener-
ally.

that needed no repeating and
that his speech was basically one
OF 'reiteration."
Mr. Dulles. dressed in a PIN
striped suit and wearing a green
and white striped tie, sat be-
tween guests in evening dress at
the speakers table. Some 1000
guests attended the dinner in
the Conrad Hilton Hotels grand

Mr.. Dulles said free Asiatic
leaders will not be easily duped"
by a Russian campaign of prom
Uses of aid to underdeveloped

are aware Of the danger Of COM

Because Of this, he asserted,

In his applause-sprinkled
speech. Mr.. Dulles said the ad-
ministration has mo doubt" that
Congress will periodically re-

giving aid to less developed
lands.
He placed no figure on the
amount Of appropriations which
would be sought, but said it
would be on the same order Of
magnitude as last year"
Mr.. Dulles recently reported
that the level of overall foreign
aid to friendly countries is s2.7

he said.
Mr.. Dulles, who helped form
the collective security program
under the Truman administra-
ton. added:
THAT program has now be-
come a reality"
The massive retaliation theme
was first advanced by Mr.. Dulles
In a speech January IL, 1854. He
said the United States would de-
pend primarily on "a great ca
pacity to retaliate instantly by
means and at places of our own
choosing" to any Communist at
tack.
Fears were voiced that this
might touch off World War III
If the United States reacted in
such a way to a minor Commu-
mist assault.
Mr.. Dulles later clarified,
qualified and explained his state
mentS. In substance, he said the
United States had no intention
of depending merely on its
capacity for massive atomic re-
taliation to scare off possible
Communist aggressors. Instead,
the United States would deal
separately with each case in the
most appropriate manner and
would make full use of local de-
tense forces.

The proposal had been that

Mrs. A. H. M, HydttsUille
At last I have a chance to
give a few tips after receiving
much advice from RICH.
To the lady who asked about
the use of a plastic coating
which is wiped on linoleum and
woodwork, I used it very sue
cessfully once on an old limo
leum which was very porous
and wax just seemed to soak
into it. After using the plastic
coating. it frightened the lino-
leum, made it much less por-
GUS and l found it looked very
nice without wax. I just had
to wipe it up and it took
less elbow grease to keep it
clean. Also. ! used it on a
dark linoleum that just seemed
impossible to keep clean. 1t
needed washing and waxing
very often and after l put the
plastic on it all I needed to do
was wipe over it and it needed
no wax.
I found that the plastic
coating was best put on the
last thing at night and left
until morning. A second coat
should be put on the same
way about a month later and
you'll find that in about a year
the coating will wear in the
more used spots and another
coat will be needed then. I
wouldn't use it on inlaid limo
leum that is fairly new because
you'll find that in adding coat
after coat the spots in the
linoleum that aren't so worn
will darken more than the used
spots.
I have a leaf1et on mildew
and if the lady who asked
about how to prevent mlldeW
on books will keep the books
in closed bookcases and dust
them at times with paraform-
aldehyde she will find help.
Use this chemical sparingly,
for it may be very irritating
to some persons. Another way
is to burn a small electric
light continuously in the book
