Strontium 90, which re-

by the human body in place

The argument in the scientific

Of small amounts Of radio

is an improved possibility Of

Quoting a Midwestern Dean of
Agriculture, Wilson said, mot only
do we get our fo0dstuffs in Ameri-
ca with much less time spent earn
ing it, but we eat more and better
foodstuffs than ever before in our
history. We're all eating higher on
the hog and enjoying it tremend-
Ously. And it doesn't cost us very
much to do it either. The thing that
bothers most of us in America to-
day is not so much the cost of
living as it is the cost of high liv-
ing
Wages paid for an average hour
of manufacturing labor will now
buy 80 percent more food than an
hours wages would buy in 1899.
That hours wages will buy 81 per-
cent more milk and rs percent more
eggs than it would in 1889. And
the farmer is getting only 36 per-
cent of each dollar spent for food, .
Wilson said.
"If today's farmers were using
1940's methods of production the
consumer food bill would be 13
billion dollars more than it is" he
said. 2
Wilson also emphasized the i'm
portance of farmers to the national
economy. Agriculture is the big
gest buyer, seller and borrower in
the United States. The inventory of
farm machinery alone is greater
than the assets of the American
steel industry and five times that
of the automobile industry
'sOf 81 million workers in this
country, rs million are in agricul-
ture and related industries" he
said.
He told the audience of farmers
and people associated with agricul-
ture that it was their job to tell
agriculture's story to the nom
farm population. He finished his
speech with this poem:
isn't it strange that princes
and kings
And clowns that caper in sawdust
rings
And common folk like you and
me
Are builders of eternity.
To each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass, a book of
rules
And each must make ere life is
flown

stone.
