In a recent statement, O. M. Clark, Agricultural Economist, of Clemson Agricultural College of South Carolina, said that farmers have paid dearly for the high prices of 1917-20, and that every effort should be made to forestall a repeti tion of this situation. Mr. Clark's statement appears in | Clemson Agricultural College Cir cular 215, June issue, entitled "The Effects of Inflation with Special Reference to Farm People," and closes with suggestions to individuals for preventing inflation. His advice fo!16Ws When the amount of money avail able for purchasing goods changes in comparison with the amount of goods to be purchased, a change in the price results. When the amount of money increases as compared with the amount of the goods, the price goes up, and when there is relative ly less money than goods, the price | goes down. It appears now that in 1942 tl e to tal inoome available for buying goods for civilian use will be greater by about 25 per cent than the value of the available goods at the expected 1942 prices. If prices are left un checked they will simply rise en ough to take up all of this money This would not add any more goods for civilian use but would add bil lions to the cost of the war, would make the war harder to win, and would be setting the stage for a dis astrous inflation later. It is to be remembered in this connection that paying higher prices for land, livestock, etc., than the pro ductivity and prevailing prices ot the products would justify, with the expectation that prices will be high er later, is a form of speculation which tends to force prices up. It is to be further remembered that all forms of credit and install ment buying have the effect of add ing to the amount of money avail able for purchasing goods and serv ices and to that degree will tend to push prices up. When prices are in flated is a good time to pay off debts and mortgages but a poor time to make them. People generally can contribute to the war effort and help prevent inflation by buying war bonds and stamps. This would put money into uses which would not tend to stim ulate inflation and would make less burdensome the taxes necessary for paying off these bonds in after years. Besides, it would be otherwise high ly desirable to have these bonds in the hands of as many citizens as possible Farmers could help the situation by producing their own needs as far as conditions would permit. This would reduce to that degree their own cost of living, relieve to that extent the burden upon our trans portation facilities, and tend to les sen the price-raising influences by reducing the demand for these prod ucts on the market. ^Th^^hole^rf^lem^)f^reventin^ \?eeping in the By MISS RATHE Some people might call the fol-1 lowing an example of progress, but we've another name for it. Anyway, perhaps you haven't heard about the rural mail carrier in a little Carolina town. It seems that Mr. R. M. T.'s buggy was in right foul shape, and for days he'd been complaining about his smooth tires. But wheh his gas tank finally sprung a leak, the ole 1 boy decided to brooch Uncle Sam j about the whole thing. So the gov- I ernment agreed that Mr. Rural Mail Toter should continue hauling farm ers their Sears and Roebuck cata- | logues, and later granted him the I wherewithal to purchase a buggy But R. T., who we must remind you had always driven one of Henry's Fords, evidently disagreed with U. S.'s "Live As Usual Whenever Pos sible" theory, for he immediately purchased a new Cadillac. Now, prog ress or not. instead of that thing we'd prefer to bump over country roads in a peanut picker. Things To Watch For In The Future New type freight cars with fibre board sides instead of steel ? being tested by Canadian Pacific ... A bi cycle "hitch" for autos that lets the bike roll along behind, like a dory towed by a launch . Among strange things being considered by U. S. Department of Agriculture are: cac tus plants as a source of granulated sugar, orange pulp as a source of gun powder, and milkweed fibre for use as mattress stuffing . . Pocket flash lights with strictly non-metallic bar rels?of five-ply fibre ... A new coin bank, shaped like a bomb, and designed to hold $18.75, the price of a War Bond. 1 Seedlings May Be Ordered /Voir From State Nurseries R. W. Graeber, extension forester, has just announced that certain tree seedlings may be ordered now from State nurseries in Johnston and Hen derson counties for fall and spring planting Loblolly, longleaf, short^ leaf, slash, and 2-year-oJd white pines may be secured for $2 a thous and delivered, or '$1:80, f.o.b , the nurseries. The same price prevails for white ash and cypress. Three year old white pine and red cedar sell for $2.50 a thousand delivered or $2.25 f.o.b., the nurseries. Orders may be placed with Mr. Graeber at State College, Raleigh. <t> Mrs. Gussie Burroughs has return ed home after a week's visit in Nor folk with her daughter, Mrs. Bren non Thatch, and Mr. Gussie Bur roughs. inflation might be considered as a battle to aid in winning the war and to have a sound economic situation after the war is over. Every individ ual might consider himself a soldier in the fight, and like a good soldier conduct himself as if the whole re sults depended upon what he did. Battles are not won by soldiers who shirk their duty. RINE MANNING | And while we're on the subject of I progress, have you all noticed the I people that are progressin' there, here, and there again huntin' defense jobs? If the procession continues moving from Williamston, we hard ly think there'll be enough people left to trample down the sprigs of grass that we've noticed shovin' themselves through the pavement of the Main Drag But there's one consolation ... All of Williamston ain't dead. Oh No! In fact the local bus terminal is the first cousin of a New York subway. But the greatest miracle that's blessed us all this week is that relief from the heat wave. Ain't it won derful to glimpse your neighbor in the morning, and to know you can again took at a human being instead of that bleary-eyed bundle of nerves which the heat kept awake every night last week?

(Central Prcti) American Business Converts For War A footnote on the lengths to which American industries have gone in converting themselves from civil ian to war goods production is seen in news that the incendiary bombs dropped on Tokyo and other Japan ese cities by the General Doolittle expedition were made by a com pany whose pre-Pearl Harbor busi ness was the manufacture of wall paper . .
