The Profit
on Fertilizer?

Who makes the most money
from the sale of a ton of
fertilizer2 According to George
Vapaa, Kent county agent, this
is question that bears looking
into.
Vapaa explains that the peo-
pie In the fertilizer industry
have a chance to make some
money: the raw material sup
plier, the fertilizer manufac-
turer and the fertilizer deal
er. These people might make
as much as five to seven dol
lars on a ton of high analysis
fertilizer selling for 78 dollars.
But did you ever stop to
think how much the farmer can
make on the same ton of fer
tilizer2 The agent says that If
applied on ten acres of poor
to fairly fertile corn ground,
this 1000 pounds of plant food
can easily mean an extra l80
bushels of corn.
That's a gross return of l80
dollars If corn sells for dollar
a bushel. Even after subracting
the cost of the fertilizer, and
other increased costs, the far
liner still comes up with neat
profit of about 80 dollars on
a ton of fertilizer. That's 10
to is times what the manu-
facture or dealer can make.
Vapaa says farmers should
keep fertilizer on top of their
best buy list. And don't try to
economize on it; a penny saved
isn't always a penny earned.

Farmers Losing Price
By Not Storing Corn

Corn growers have two op-
borulnides to increase their
profits on their corn CORP
First by using top flight pro-
kduction methods and second BY
marketing their crop to the besi
advantage.
/ Delaware farmers have dem
konstrated they can grow corr

but too many farmers have bean
unwilling to apply this sane
saver to the important job 81
marketing. Too often they hav =
been content to sell their crop
Iout of the field for whatever
price that was being offered
Many lacked operating capital
and needed the money. Others

facilities to hold their crop un-

There is very little price risk
In storing corn. And aproducer
can usually make ten to fif-
teen cents per bushel over stor-
| age costs.
For the past twelve years
Delaware farmers have been
able to get an average of q
cents a bushel more by hold
ing their corn In storage for
|only three months. This was
la l7.6 per cent increase In
|price over the price at harvest

Expensive but adequate storage

Delaware farms that produce
corn for feed or as a cash

The great increase in the
Iamount of farm and CONNER
cial storage space In Delaware
in the last few years would In
dicate that storage has been
profitable. 1t might be worth
while to point out that as the
Iquantity of storage space In
lcreases the amount of the price
decline at harvest season de-
Icreases. So you can see, stor-
Iage may not be as profitable In
Ithe future as it has been In the
Ipast. On the other hand, as
Hong as Delaware is a corn def
ltcit area 1--WE use more corn
than we produce) we can expect
seasonal price advances which
lwill at least cover storage costs.
land there is a chance of max
sing some extra profit as there
| is always going to be a depressed
iprice for corn at harvest time
isince many farmers will always
prefer to sell rather than store.
A common question is what
Idoes 1t cost to store corn. Like
jail other costs these varywide-
lily. About one half of the total
Icost is likely to be for suit
liable storage facility. This is a
fixed cost and once the facility
| has been built you have the ex-
|pense whether it is used or
not. The annual fixed cost of a
corn bin or crib is between
5 1/2$ to 81. The variable
costs Those directly associ-
ated with placing and keeping
corn in storage--will make up
the other ~ of storage costs.
They include a charge for in
terest on the money invested in
stored crops, damages and loss
es (you don't take out quite
as much as you put in), also
insurance, and the added cost
of putting the corn in and
taking it out compared with
marketing directly from the
field. Total costs will run some
where between ll& anc l6&.
Since the average seasonal
lprice increase over the past
twelve years has been 22 cents
a bushel during the first three
months after harvest, you can
see there is a good chance
flor six to eleven cent a bush
lei profit. That's an added re-
Iturn of between five and eight
dollars an acre on an eighty
bushel per acre yield.

In view of all the major crises con-
fronting the American people at home
and abroad it seems doubtful that
even the most sensitive public pulse
taker would have chosen the proposed
federal income Withholding tax on in
terest and dividends as an issue that
would excite almost unprecedented
popular attention.
Yet this modest proposal embodied
in section 10 of complex 240-page
tax revision bill-already passed by
the House and now under Senate con-
sideration-has provoked a flood of
mail-almost all in opposition to the
measure-that some Senate veterans
claim is greater than any since the
Korean crisis more than decade ago.
Senator Paul Douglas, one of the
leading supporters of the withhold
ing tax, has been swamped with more
than $4,000 letters on the issue. Other
Senators report as many as several
thousand letters a day.

biological change was made here by
two top officials of the U. S. Depart
ment of Labor's Bureau of Labor Sta

BIS Commissioner EVAN Clague
and Leon Greenberg, a division chief,
made the prediction.
Their paper was given at Arden
House at the 21st American Assembly
of Columbia University. 1t was not
presented as the official view of the
Labor Department but the consid-
cred personal observations of two
of its top experts.
''It is important to restate that
these figures do not tell the whole
story" Clague and Greenberg said,
''but they suggest an order of the
magnitude and indicate the kind of
exploration that might be made in
further attempts to quantity the vol
ume of chronological displacement
and Unemployment
The figures were obtained by an
analysis of 201 sample industries that
in 1858 employed nearly 1875 million
workers. This represented about 70
per cent of all manufacturing.
The report stated, also, that COM
puter operations could seriously af-
feet job opportunities for women file
clerks and accountants. These were
not included in the 100000 to 3OO,-
600 figure.
Clague and Greenberg said that
the computer might also 'reduce job
for family breadwin-
ners normally employed in these oc-
equations" At the same time. they
said that there would be an increase
in programming jobs.

Misconceptions On Dividend Withholding

DECEPTIVE PROPAGANDA
BEHIND LETTER BARRAGE

Behind this outpouring of public
opposition is barrage of deceptive
propaganda laid down by banks and
savings and loan companies which has
frightened countless numbers of eld-
erly people, widows, and others who
depend for their livelihood on interest
and dividend income into believing
the government is preparing major
raid on their modest holdings. They
have risen up in protest, and, at the
urging of the financial institutions,
they are registering their protest with
Congress through the mails.
The effectiveness of the savings
institutions efforts to defeat the
withholding tax is a striking ex-
ample of the pressure of public
opinion that can be generated by a
planned campaign based on lies,
half-truths, and distortions.
1t is clear from the Senators mail
that large proportion of the opposi-
ton stems from number of miscon-
ceptions concerning the tax proposal,
most of them fostered by the savings
institutions advertising campaign.
Among the misconceptions are these
NOT A NEW TAX
The withholding tax on interest |
and dividends is considered by many |
to be new tax.
This is false. The measure is |
aimed at gathering in existing tax
obligations which are not now being |
collected because, either carelessly |
or by design, they are not reported
on income tax returns. Secretary of |
the Treasury Douglas Dillon told the
Senate Finance Committee the gov
eminent stands to lose one billion
dollars in tax revenues each year I'M
less the measure is passed.
1t is claimed the Withholding sys-
tenn will work hardship on retired
persons, widows, and orphans whose
incomes from interest and dividends
are so small that their income tax
liability is zero.
This claim-an effective tear-j jerk
er-overlooks the provision exempt
ing persons under eighteen years, the
many tax privileges granted to elder
" persons. which would exempt vir- :
.ually everyone over sixty-five, and 9
he exemption for anyone between +
hese ages who files an affidavit de- q
.laring that he had no federal income h
AK liability. Only one per cent of all b
dividends paid goes to persons whose +
Incomes are so low they pay no feder- a
i income tax. Furthermore, seventy Il
ne per cent of unreported interest is II
eceived by those with incomes of :
nore than $4,000 a year. p

much as $4,000 in interest or divi- e

come from wages. In addition. the
proposed law provides for refunds OF
quarterly basis-four times as fire.
quently as refunds of the tax on
wages.
. Another argument against the
syStem-this one raised mainly by
the financial institutions rather than
individuals-is that compliance would
be difficult and expensive.
COMPLIANCE COULD
HARDLY BE SIMPLER"
The truth is that compliance could
hardly be simpler. If a corporation
paid out one million dollars in divi-
dends, for example, if would merely
transmit twenty per cent-S200,O
to the Treasury, and pay eighty per
cent of the dividend to the share
holder. 1t is not required that the cor
poration report each individual ac-
count. Similarly, when banks pay in
terest, they would merely transmit
twenty per cent of the total paid, but
not the depositors' names and
amounts withheld. Filing of the an
nual personal income tax has been
equally simplified.
Largely because of the miscon-
cepions concerning the ease of COM
pliance, it is claimed the Withholding
system would cost more to administer
than the increase in revenue would
In remarkable piece of testimony
before the Senate Finance Committee,
a prominent banker cut the ground
from under this argument. To the
great surprise of the Committee, the
plan received enthusiastic
support from John Sladick, vice presi-
lent and controller of the Franklin |
Bank of Long Island, the |
hirty-second largest commercial bank |
n the country, with deposits totalling |
more than three-quarters of a billion |
dollars. Sadlick, who had done his |
better than the opposition,
the only concrete testimony
the cost to banks of ad-
the Withholding tax,
which he estimated at seven-tenths of
ne per cent of the amount withheld
he first year, and less than half that
n subsequent years. Bank profits
7ould be reduced one-fourth of one
er cent the first year, less than half
hat thereafter.
''In view of our findings" Sad
dick concluded. chow could our
bank or any other bank jusifi-
ably refuse to cooperate with the
Treasury in helping to close this
important loophole?"
In spite of the overwhelming evil
ence favoring Withholding on inter-
It and dividends the measure is in
ouble in the Senate, largely because
the huge volume of mail promoted
z the devious propaganda of the
INKS and savings and loans associa-
ons. President Kennedy himself, at
