Compact Bullt-lns Make
Perfect Room for Boy

Want to know how to trans
form a tiny room into a 10-year-
old boys paradise? Ask Bill
Christman, of Gaithersburg.
Mr.. Christman's son, Bill Jr.,
lives in a little room that con-
tains everything to make small
boy happy, including a wall-rack
for his cowboy guns. His father,
a machinist, rebuilt the room
as he did most of the rest of
their 30-odd year old house on
James Street.
Originally Billy's room was a
little upstairs bedroom with one
window and a big brick chimney
next to the door. When the
Christmas moved in eight years
ago, Mr.. Christman took out the
chimney, a leftover from an old
stove heating system.
Then he cut another window
in the room, to brighten it. The
ceiling was covered with square
white panels of a construction
material, and he paneled the
walls with a wood material, in
maple, with a surface texture OF
verticle stripes.

duced this past year," he said, Consumers
would have spent slightly larger total
amount for meat The farm prices of meat
animals would have been more than 10 per
cent higher The cost of producing, market
ing, processing and retailing 212 billion
pounds of meat would have been saved and
added to the net income of meat producers.
The new record of 81 billion pounds of red
meat production in 1855 was established at
a terrific cost to livestock producers"
Unfortunately the production control
urged by the Wichita banker is difficult to
achieve on any continuing basis. The in
dividual cattle grower can never be sure
that if he limits production the other fellow
will do likewise. AS is natural, most live
stock producers react to price. When prices
are unfavorable and production costs rela-
lively high, the Stockgrower markets more
females and reduces his output. But when
prices go up he is inclined to increase pro-
duction to take full advantage Of the more
favorable situation.
Perhaps cattlemen can become SO fully
organized that they can control the produc-
ton of their industry in such a way as to
bring real price sterilization. Then the dips
and rises of the production and price cycle,
as well as of the producers bank balance,
will level out as never before.
The only grower who would be disap-
pointed with that kind of a situation would
be the one who gets his biggest thrill from
Out-gueSSing the market.

THERE IS ROOM for realistic OPP
timism in the long time outlook for cattle
men," DR.. P. H. Stephens, Director of Re
search for the Farm Credit District of
Wichita told Stockmen attending the recent
convention of the American National Cat
tlemen's Association. Dr. Stephens predicted
that cattle prices will increase by so per
cent in the next five years.
He feels this is a reasonable assumption
because by 1860 there will be about 8 per
cent more consumers, each with Is per cent
more money to spend. And the downtrend
in production will mean that there will be
fewer beef cows and perhaps Is per cent
less beef produced per capita.
The speaker advocated sterilization of
production and prices but said this is job
cattlemen must do for themselves. He Sug-
gested a production of 20 pounds of beef
per capita as the optimum level for profit
able operations More than that depresses
prices And smaller production, as few
years ago, leads to an under-Supply and in
flationary increases in price which in turn
lead again to an over-supply. Pointing to
the fact that production capacity exceeds eff
fective demand at profitable prices, DR..
Stephens reminded the cattlemen that they
would have to use considerable restraint in
mapping out their production programs if
prices are to be stabilized permanently on
satisfactory level.

The bureau decided that the difference
of $96, 900 was earned equally in years that

amount of tax that should have been paid
on this basis with penalties, and assessed
the estate accordingly. The executors took
the matter to court and the court rendered

Canada has signed a three-year wheat
pact with Soviet Russia. Under the agree
ment Russia will buy "A to SIS million bush
els of wheat during the three-year period.
In return Canada will give Russia most
favored nation" policy on Russian imports.
This will put Russia on the same basis with
the United States in trading with Canada
However, the Russian grain purchase won't
put much of a dent in Canada'S surplus of
500 million bushels of wheat.
Some farmers have been trying to out
guess the federal crop insurance program
by taking out insurance only when moisture
reserves are low or some other adverse fac
tor indicates that they may experience crop
failure. When the outlook is favorable, the
inclination is to save the cost of the insur-
ance The director of the Federal Crop In
Surance Corporation recently warned that
the in-and-outerS may not be able to follow
this practice much longer. He explains that
the FCIC is trying to build a sound, perma-
nent insurance program and cannot succeed
in this objective if too many farmers insure
only when they "feel crop disaster breath
ing down their neckS."
Before World War Ill families with an
income of over $4,000 a year consumed an
average of 1,036 pounds of dairy foods per
person. If the much larger percentage of
American families enjoying that income
now should bring their dairy products con-
sumption up to this pre-war average, the
demand for dairy products could expand to
a per capita figure 40 per cent above the
1855 level within the next few years. This
is why officials of the National Dairy Coun-
Gil are pushing for more advertising and
promotion of milk products.
About 16 million American children are
now drinking milk under the school lunch
and special school milk programs. These
children are consuming about Is million
half-pints of milk every school day, or 3
billion pounds of milk in fluid form and

amounts to about 212 per cent of the an
nual U.s. milk production.

of steam behind the demand for similar pro-
grams for wheat and other basics.
There appears to be growing feeling
among producers that the ultimate answer
to the farm problem, as far as basic crops
are concerned, will be either a direct pay
ment plan or some form Of two-price plan
coupled with unit (bushel or bale) allotments.
