Fixed Laws
Economic laws are laws of nature,
rigid. They are divine laws in the
same sense that the law of gravity
is a law of God. Such laws were in
force long before the first man-made
statute was ever written, and no
natural law was ever repealed by
act of parliament. Natural laws can
be broken but they all carry within
themselves suitable penalties for
violation; hard to escape.
Under natural law, every producer
earns a profit when he serves the
public well; takes a loss when he
serves the public poorly. When
manipulators, government planners
or any other kind, use artificial price
controls, they violate natural law.
It makes no difference whether the
aim is greed or to protect "lame
ducks" from loss. Price controls en
courage incompetence.
Wheat Price Parity
Claude R. Wickard, Secretary of
Agriculture, recently told an audi
ence of wheat growers in St. Paul
that U. S. production last year was
1100 million bushels compared to
800 million in a typical prewar year.
This is deemed to forecast a post
war over-production of 180 million i
bushels or more a year. There is a
law compelling government to hold
up wheat prices for two years after
the war.
i Taxpayers may as well brace
themselves. It is time to start won
dering what it's going to cost per
bushel to prop up the wheat price
aad hold it at parity; or what bonus
per acre must be paid to non-grow- 1
era of wheat for no* growing wheat.
Another wonder: Can the price sup
port be removed after two years or
must the taxpayers continue guaran
fist. / I

Observe Natural Law
There is an honorable way: Leave
each industry's problem (or men of
that industry to solve. Using
wheat as an example, permit the
Department of Agriculture to pre
pare such data as Mr. Wickard
gave the farmers and make the
figures available to the whole in
dustry. Let the farmers use their
own judgment in the light of the
facts. They will do a better job than
government men, and it will not
cost the taxpayers anything.
One advantage is obvious: Men
of an industry can consider an
industrial problem unblinded by a
dust storm of political considera
tions. Government's proper func
tion is to serve the citizens. Govern
ment can get statistics more con
veniently than an organization of
business men, and government ex
perts undoubtedly can olTer valuable
interpretations, but interference is
not halp.
Men Can Think
Business men can understand
government figures, interpret them
and apply what they have learned.
Figures from the Department of
Commerce and the Census Bureau
have benefited many industries in
the past, interpreted by statisticians
in the employ of trade associations.
If wheat is over-produced one year, ?
bread will be cheap. The next year, !
wheat men can plan more cau
tiously.
What did the cotton subsidy do
but open the gate for rayon to storm !
the cotton planter's market? A fic- !
titlous wheat price can only bring
that industry some similar calamity.
It is bad enough to have loyal citi
zens taxed without mercy to build
a false price structure; worse when
you know that the result will be to
lift a big essential industry off its
economic foundation and perma
nently cripple it.
In County Court
A resolution calling for con
tinued effort of (the citizens of
this community in rededicating
themselves in the defeat of Ja
pan, was passed by the general
county court committee on reso
lutions Monday following the
V-E Day announcement.
Only five cases were heard,
they were as follows;
Alex Ray, driving after his li-!
cense was revoked; prayer for
judgment continued, $15 and
cost.
J. W. Wall, driving after his li
cense was revoked; found not
guilty.
John Wright, assault; case
continued.
Bennie H. Smith, driving
drunk; 4 months, suspended,
$75 and cost
D. P. Shoffner, non-support of
illegal child; ordered by court to
pay $250 settlement to the prose
cuting witness for the benefit of
the child and cost.
At Service Center
TJie Home Demonstration club
of Bethany community, with
Mrs. Lacy Cheek in charge of
arrangements, was hostess at
the Service Men's center during
the week-end. There were six
overnight guests and nine for
breakfast on Sunday morning
which was served by Reed Cheek
and W. L. White.
The service men were from
Camp Butner, Cherry Point and
)uke university; six states were
?epresented.
During the week-end the regu
lar donations of coffee, bread, ice
ir/1 milk were made in addition
to the many corttrfcutions from
he hostess group.
Ocean Water
There are six kinds of water in
the North Pacific ocean, says Dr. H.
U. Sverdrup, director of the Scripps
Institution of Oceanography. To be
sure, they are all salt sea water,
but there are distinct and recogniz
able differences in both saltiness and
temperature, according to location
and depth.
Over the bottom of the whole
ocean, below a depth of 5,000 to
6,000 feet, lies a mass of water that 1
is a little saltier than the rest of 1
the ocean, as well as a good deal
colder; it always hovers only a few i
degrees above freezing point. Above
this, the ocean is divided into five
great blocks or segments: subarc- ,
tic, equatorial, intermediate, east
ern and western, respectively. Each 1
has its own characteristic range of
temperature and salinity. ,

Treat Potatoes
Many Irish seed potatoes set aside
for spring planting are infected with
fungus diseases that cut down
stand. Injure the roots, cripple the
potatoes, and reduce yields. Or
ganisms that cause common black
scurf or rhizoctonia and under cer
tain conditions common scale and
black leg, usually can be controlled
by treating afflicted seed with for
maldehyde. While seed potatoes are
usually treated Just before planting,
the work may be done with equal
success at any time in the winter or
spring, provided the potatoes are
dried properly or are not reinfected
by storing in old containers or bins
which have not been disinfected.
It is in fact an advantage to treat
potatoes some time in advance of
planting so that if the sprouts are
injured, new ones may form.
