tically everybody talks about it, but
nobody does anything about it.
Fact is that there is not much to
be done, other than to turn the pub
lie spotlight on margins that are
out of line and profits that are too
big. This, of course, takes study
:. and Benson has promised more
attention to the matter.
Department n 81 d s, meantime,
point out that the increased marketing
margin in the past few years has been
primarily due to higher wages"
(which also increase demand for food.
Higher freight rates are marked out
as another important factor in spread
ing margins.
Here are some key figures on the
spread situation: In 1855, the farmer
received an estimated Al cents of the
consumer food dollar. That compares
with the historic low of SO cents in
1889. The all-time high share for the
| farmer was reached in 1945 when the
figure was So cents.
Opinion of most farm and food men
is that the farmers share is on de-
clining long-term trend due to rising
consumer demand for convenience
foods and ''built-in kitchen services"
SOIL BANK 'BUGS"
Plenty of bugs are turning up in
the sOil-bank idea as a method of
controlling production, increasing
farm income, and ''stOring fertili-
ty.'' An important question for cat
tiemen is whether any plan finally
approved will permit grazing on
acres taken out of crOpland and put
to grass.
Livestock groups are vocal in their
insistence that grazing should be pro-
hibited. Jay Taylor, head of the Amer
lean National Cattlemen's Association,
has said that grazing of converted acres
would be disastrous"
Some soil bank schemes would allow
grazing; others would not. Many Off
Gals think that whether it is allowed
or not, there would be grazing of con-
verted acres-and that it would be i'm
possible to prevent it.
Another major criticism of the soil
bank is that it would not help pro-
ducers who need it most. Reasoning is
that the man who has only few acres
could not afford to set many, if any
into a reserve-unless payments were
so high as to break the us. Treasury
Farm group leaders, at a back room
session here recently, endorsed The
soil bank idea-almost unanimously
| Among them were dairy people whit
| have reason to be chary of incentives
| to grazing and still greater milk pro
| duction.
| It was agreed by all hands that Their
1 are many objections to the soil banl
| notion. The consensus was sounded

one.

PRICE SUPPORT CHANGES

PRICE SUPPORT CHANGES
TwO-pricing along with equality

attention of Congress in considering
farm price-suppOrt changes. Wheat
and rice lead the list of cOmmOdi-
ties to get attention on two pricing.

advocates, would bring less re-
lance on artificial props help

Leaders of farm groups and food in
dustries have been asked by Chairman
Ellender of Senate Agriculture COM
mittee ''to assist in drafting language

has indicated he might approve 80 per
cent support for top quality output of
a given commodity, providing lower
grade stuff were propped at lower

FARMERS TAX GUIDE
A new tax booklet you may find
useful is now rolling off the presses
in Washington. Prepared by the
Internal Revenue Service, it is said
to be phrased in ''plain language"
=. to tell you step by step how
to fill out those forms.
Most of the booklets are to be sent
to county agents who will give you
copy for free. Or you may pick one
up at the nearest field office of the
Internal Revenue Service. If you can
not get one at either of these places,
you can write for a free copy. Address
the Internal Revenue Service, Wash
ington IS, DC, asking for the Farm
ers' Tax Guide Publication No. 225.
FEED OUTLOOK
The feed outlook is good, maybe
as good as it has ever been. All
hands at USDA agree on that much.
Getting to the key question first:
VIII feeding continue to pay off
some better as has been the case
lately?
Yes, say USDA forecasters, through
this winter at least. Beyond that the
guessers hedge their bets.
Supply of US. feed grains and con-
centrates is now greater than ever be-
fore, in the aggregate as we'll as in
amount per animal unit Supply per
unit is 7 per cent more than a year
ago over the nation.
Total us. feed grain supply is up
about 10 per cent from a year ago.
In hay the situation is some differ
ent. Supply over the nation is larger
than ever before, but hay per animal
unit in coming months will be only
Slightly above average nationally.
How about feed prices? They will &c
down some more, say the forecaSters
''at least through this winter" In the
spring. there may be some seasonal
rise.
Price supports for oats, barley, anC
sorghum grain-not yet set for 1856
are 20 per cent on SIS crops. That il
81 cents per bushel, national average
, for oats; for barley, "a cents pc
bushel, and for sorghum, $17S per hun
bred.
Support for SIS crop corn is 81 pc
cent in the commercial area or SIS
per bushel. In noncommercia1 growing
areas support is rs per cent of tn
i commercial rate.
: Will or won't Mr.. Benson raise o
e lower 1856 feed supports? We woul
0 say Mr.. Benson will leave support

Today's hand is a simple illus
tration Of correct trump man
agement. In following columns
we will consider cases where de-
clarer can safely pull just one
round of trumps, but no more !;
cases where his best play is to
try to cash as many as three
rounds of a side suit while there
is still trump outstanding; and
other more complex situations.
Trumps are precious to a de-
clarer. The power of trumps is
dramatically illustrated by the
fact that slams are often made
when the offensive partnership
holds as little as half the deck
In high cards.
Counting your winners at the
start of hand is an important
element in deciding whether or
not to lead trumps. In today's
hand. for example. Mr.. Masters
realized that it would be silly
to take even one round of trumps.
Mrs. Keen led the queen of
clubs and it was permitted to
win. She continued with the
jack of clubs and again Mr.
Masters refused to cover with
dummy's king. The shift at trick
three was to trump and dunn
my'S king. The shift at trick
three was to a trump and dunn
my's ten won.
MI. Masters saw that he had
only two winners in the side suits
the ace of spades and the ace
Of diamonds. 1t was therefore
necessary to win no less than
eight tricks in the trump suit
itself. That would be impossible
If he led another round of hearts
at this point.
He therefore led to the ace
OF diamonds, returned a dia-
mond and ruffed it. He cashed
the ace of spades, led another
spade and ruffed in his hand.
Diamonds and spades were cross
ruffed to win a total of 10 tricks.
True there was the possibility
that one of the defenders would
overruff and lead back a trump.
However, that was a chance
which had to be taken, for the
simple reason that no other line
OF play offered any chance at
all for the contract.

point, in the 105-year history of the

organization meeting last week.
Receipts for 1856 totaling S73, ,560.61

years fair receipts to help pay for
the $24 4,601.29 worth of permanent
improvements. The county board Of
commissioners is limited to spending
not more than $4,000 a year for
such improvements.
