The action of one of the larges
manufacturers in reducing lis
prices 10 ito 80 percent on man!
household appliances right aftel
New Years Day, means moderate
income families in 1856 will be able
to buy lab0r-saving home equip
ment at lower prices.
And what can keep production
humming and workers at their jobs
better than a steady stream ot
sales.
This price cut which other manu-
facturers will probably have to fol
low. actually is an admission that
the difference between manufactur
ing cost and retail list prices on
such appliances has long been un
necessarily high. In effect, it legal,
ICES the discounts at which many
stores have already been selling
such appliances.
This is the first time a big manu-,
facturer has disturbed the long
sacrfds, markups of retailers and
wholesale distributors. Tradition
ally the retailers get 36-40 percent
of the list price or appliances, and
the Wholesale jobbers another 1920
percent. Thus, il a vacuum cleaner
has a retail list price of $40, the
retailers and jobber's margins ac-
tually take about .$38, while the
entire manufacturing cost, even in
Guiding manufacturers profits and
advertising expense, is only $32.
The company that has announced
the price cuts is General Electric.
Tosaehieve. the. price cuts without
reducing quality GE in springing
this bombshell is cutting its own
margin as well as that of retailers
and jobbers.
The price cuts are beneficial not
only because they will enable more
people to enjoy labor-saving ap
pliances at, lower prices, but be-
cause they will help increase en-
ployment both in the manufacture
ing and selling ends of the ap
pliance industry.
So prices can be cut sharply
from today's high levels to the
benefit of production and retail
workers, Of families who want new
cleaners, mixers, steam irons and
other aids, and of retailers too. The
dealers may have to handle 1C
vacuum cleaners a day instead OF
just selling five but they now can
be mere certain folks will be able

We can't help being astonished
by the order of some Texas Com
pany oil official that workers would
have to give up any of their invest
ments "in conflict with the interest
of the Texas Co."
BY what right does the Texas
Co. group tell its workers in what
they may invest their savings.
The oil workers union has chel-
lenged the company's action. If the
Texas Co. fires a worker because Of
his investments, says the union,
there'll be a strike.
The union, obviously, is fighting
the good fight for free enterprise
free enterprise for workers as
well as for corporation capital.
So, if strike were to develop
and we trust none will be neces-
sary - perhaps it will get the ed
itorial support of the Chicago Tri-
bune and the Wall Street Journal.

1 per cent of insect damaged kernels
will be permitted after July 1, 1856.
In no case shall grain treated for di-
Sease control be permitted. Carl
Amstrup, grain dealer, stressed the
''why of grain sanitation" and he also
indicated that in all probability no
tolerance for rodent or grain insect
contamination will be permitted in the
not-too-distant future.
Second, car-lot seizures of contami-
mated grain from Montana entering in
terstate commerce have been low. We
must keep it that way. Mice are the
main communicating factor in Montana.
The All leaders received much helpful
information on the principles Of rodent
and insect control which will benefit
them in their club work as well as a
county program.
Third, many of the youth enrolled in
All Club work are going to be the
farmers or homemakers of tomorrow.
They can be prepared today to meet
the challenge of the future. Leaders
carry the ball in preparing the youth
of today for tomorrows future, But
the leaders must be kept abreast of
rapidly changing times. They need new
ideas, new techniques as well as con-
fidence in working with our youth.
Marketing Efficiency
M. M. KelSo, dean of the Division of
Agriculture at Montana State College,
told leaders that field crops account
for approximately per cent of the
net income annually earned in agricul-
ture. This is derived from the sale of
crops, including hay. An additional 20
per cent can be credited to feed grains
and hay fed to livestock Since field
crops account for major part of farm
or ranch income, Dean Kelso proposed
four points for increased efficiency in
marketing what we now produce.
1. Preventing contamination in stOr-
age.
2. Getting all we can out of quality
premiums available in the market
ESPECIALLY for protein and grade).
s. Marketing our crops intelligently
as to time, place and quality diff
ferentialS.
4. Avoiding mixing kinds and quail
ties of crops.
|. Grain Laboratory
A tour of the Montana Grain Inspec-
ton Laboratory was one of the high
lights of the four-day school. Purity
and termination testing is one of the
functions of the laboratory. The leaders
had the opportunity to see each phase
as it was being performed Grain grad
ing is a second function and the third
is protein testing. 1t was pointed out
that this service is available to all
farmers of Montana.
The tour followed sessions on grain
Identification and grain grading. Dave
Davis, superintendent of the Grain Lab
oratory, led each of these discussions
He displayed samples containing for
eign material, mixtures of other crops
damage of various kinds and other fac
tors which influence the grade of grail
at the market place. All of this involve
marketing efficiency.
