HOW A NATURAL LAW WORKS

HOW A NATURAL LAW WORKS
Have you ever wondered who sets live
stock and meat prices? Probably most of us
have, particularly in periods of rising prices.
The fact is that nobody sets the prices
but something does. That something goes
by the name of the law of supply and de-
mand.
Francis A. Kutish of Iowa State College
has explained how this law works in the
case of meat. The main thing in the de-
mand part of the picture is the number of
dollars in the consumer meat budgets. "But,
he writes, consumer income doesn't change
much from one day or week or month to the
next. So when livestock marketings go up,
about the same number of dollars are stretch
ed over a larger meat supply-and prices
have to give. Then when marketings go
down, consumers pay higher prices for the
smaller meat supply"
Of the producers situation, Mr.. Kutish
says: Each livestock raiser has his own
ideas about how much to produce and when
to sell. With several million separate decis-
ions being made, there's bound to be lot of
ups and downs in the amount and kind of
meat Sold"
Finally, Mr.. Kutish disposes of the idea
that packers or retailers can set the prices.
There are more than 5000 packers and 10,-
900 other commercial killers, and the 100000
retailers who sell meat. To quote him again,
''That means no one meat packer can get
away with low-price buying-or retailer
with high-price selling-for very long. If
they didn't get back into line in hurry,
! informed producers and consumers would
simply deal with someone else"

HOW TO PREVENT FAMINE
An executive of one of the leading farm
equipment manufacturers says: "As / see it,
this country may be faced with two farm
problems that are rather paradoxical. For
the short range we have the problem of sur
plus; for the long range we may have the
problem of shortage of food"
The reason for this paradox, of course,
is the rapid rise in population-not only in
this country, but throughout the world.
World population is increasing at a rate of
about 36.5 million year, and some scien-
lists believe that the Explosion point, -
where known resources would no longer suf-
flee to feed all human life could be reached
as soon as 1887.
There are many possibilities for solving
the food problem, running the gamut from
scientifically controlled weather to the use
of the plankton and algae in which the seas
abound. Whether or not such revolutionary
steps will prove feasible or possible is now
a question mark. However, as the spOkeS-
man for the equipment maker said, g.
there is one avenue for improving food sup
plies that we can be sure holds promise.
That is the avenue of continued research to
improve farming techniques and increase
yields on land now under cultivation. This
approach to the problem will call for con-
tinued research to develop better and hard
ier plants and animals, research to develop
better fertilizers research to point the way
to more economical farming practices, and
research to provide better farm machinery"
We don't have to run the risk of eventual
famine herei

THOSE VICIOUS AUTOMOBILES

Judging by news reports of automobile
accidents, modern cars with their multi-hun-
dred horsepower engines and super-sonic
speeds react in strange ways to the temper
aments of their drivers. Almost daily one
reads "car left highway on curve, crashed
into tree and killed driver" Or "car pulled
out of traffic line without warning, struck
oncoming car head on-occupants of both
cars dead" Or scar went out of control and
rolled over bank into rivar-bodies not yet
found"
What ails the modern automobile? Why
has it taken on these homicdal tendencies?
Are automobiles irritated because their driv-
ers hold them back on curves? Do they be-
come impatient when a timid driver tries to
keep them from going 80 or 80 miles an hour
to pass another car and keep ahead of every
thing on the road? Do they imagine when
coming to curve that they can spread their
tenders like wings to cross a canyon like an
airplane and connect with the road on the
other side? What are their motives?
Owners must be protected from the ire
sponsible actions of cars or it will soon be
suicide to drive one of them.
One way to show your car you are boss
when it shows signs of taking the bit In its
teeth" is to cut its feed supply and spur it
with well-adjusted brakes-that might teach
it p lesson, if you live through the expert
ment.

Lion S Nemesis,
John H. Johnson,
Now In Lion S Den

Detroit Lions Coach Buddy
Parker announced Tuesday that
he had traded two of his veteran
backs to. San. Francisco '49ers
for Halfback John Henry John
son.
Fullback Bill Bowman and
defensive Halfback Bill Sits
were traded for the brilliant
Johnson. whom Parker intend
to convert to the fullback po-
sifion.
The move strengthened both
teams, inasmuch as the Lions
have needed a hard-running,
blocking fullback for several
seasons and the '49ers sought a
first class defensive back, and
they have them in Johnson and
Sits, respectively.
Johnson, for the past three
years, has been the Lions No. l
nemesis. He is a big Cos lbs.)
brusing back with speed and a
superb blocker. He is also the
first Negro to play for the Lions
since 1854 when Elijah Chill
ders played the last third of the
season at tackle.
Bowman, on the other hand,
last season, his second year. was
plagued by injuries while Stitts
also in his second year, saw
very little action.
John Henry gained 301 yards
last year on 80 ball-carrying at
tempts. He scored a paid Of
touchdowns, and his long gair
was 81 yards. Bowman carried
only 20 times, picked up 81
yards and had a long gain of /;
yards.
In addition to his ball carry
ing, Johnson caught eight passe
for 90 yards, an average of H.
per catch.
