immorality to call young men to the
colors—young men who may never
come back, or if they do, return
maimed and shattered—to take them
from their homes and careers and
leave others to profit and profiteer.”
This sentiment is widespread in the
United States and there are numerous
complaints about price increases and
the hoarding of goods. Consequently,
a growing movement exists in Con
gress to impose wage and price con
trols and perhaps, rationing. The ob
jective is, of course, to permit all
Americans to share equally in avail-'
able goods and to curb, inflationary
tendencies immediately.
With congressional opinion divided
as to a mandatory roll-back of prices,
advocates of immediate action sug
gest that the President be given price
wage control and rationing powers on
a stand-by basis. It is recalled that
the President asked Congress several
times during the inflationary period,
just after the war ended, to provide
such authority. Even this suggestion
fails to secure anything like unani
mous support but Senator Ralph E.
Flanders, of Vermont, who does not
think that the present emergency
warrants drastic action, points out
that “there’s another emergency show
ing up.”
Mr. Flanders says that “consumers
have lost their heads and started
hoarding. Business men have lost

Should this lack of control continue,
he adds, “and lead us into the trap
of a new price-wage spiral,” the ap
plication of rigid controls will “become
imperative."
We give above the general-round-up
1 of the views exprsesed on price-wage
1 controls and rationing because, we
1 think, the people of this country are
willing to have such controls if they
! are necessary to prevent hoarding,

with Mr. Baruch as to the “immorali

r Improved Pasture Is
■ Cheap Livestock Feed
r -- -
t Improved pasture is the most eco
■ nomical livestock feed and should be
i the main source of feed wherever wea
-1 ther conditions permit, says W. W.
t McPherson, agricultural economist
I with the North Carolina Experiment
Station.
McPherson list two main types of
land where pastures may be planted
I to supply inexpensive feed for live
r stock. The first type mentioned is
II idle land. Many farms, he says, con
; tain small acreages of such land. The
(state has over 900,000 acres in this
i category.
: The cost of establishing pasture
- may be distributed over five years
J since the average permanent pasture
- produces that long. One-fifth the cost
3 of establishing pasture on cleared land
t plus the annual maintenance cost
1 amounts to about S2O per acre per
- year. Hence, if pasture is developed
on idle land, any income over S2O
- per acre is an addition to the farmer’s
i returft for his labor and investment.
f The other sources of pasture land

native uses to improved pastures. Un
der this system, pastures must com
pete with other feed crops and with
cash crops.
As shown on the chart, pasture com
petes very favorably with other feed
crops because of the saving on har
vesting and feeding costs. With corn,
the most common livestock feed, it
cost $1.77 to produce 100 pounds of
total digestible nutrients, assuming a
corn yield of 50 bushels per acre. With
pasture the cost is 0n1y.58 cents.
The question of whether pasture will
compete with cash crops for land
acreage depends on individual circum
stances. In many cases, especially
on small farms or large farms where
enough labor is available, pasture can
not “out compete” allotted acreages
of cash crops.
However, this may not always be
true, says McPherson. If the economy
of North Carolina and the United
States continues to grow, an increas
ing proportion of the people will be
concentrated in non-farming occupa
tions. One result will be an increase
in the demand for livestock products
over that for cash crops. A second
effect will be to decrease the supply
of farm labor and thereby increase
labor expenses to the farmer. This
may mean that improved pastures
could “out-compete” cash crops.
We do not care to listen to people
with few ideas who always repeat
them.
