THREE YEARS TO LEARN
We see by the newspapers that a
man in Lousiana has been sentenced
to three years in prison for refusing
to register under the Selective Ser
vice Act
The man says that the preamble
to the Constitution does not give the
goevrnment the right to deprive him
of his "right at free liberty." More
over, he avers, "there is nothing in
America worth fighting for."
During the service of his sentence
he will probably learn a little bit
about the Constitution and he might
even conclude that there is some
thing worth fighting for in this
country.
CANCER IS CURABLE
It is encouraging to hear the Amer
ican College of Surgeons report that
there are 36,078 five-year "cancer
cures" in the United States.
This means that there are that
many persons who had cancer but,
five years after treatment, are now
free of the disease.
The figures mean that cancer is
not incurable. It also shows that
there is an increasing number of
"cured" persons, because in 1981 a
similar report showed only about
20,000 five-year cures.
The news involved in this an
nouncement ought to encourage all
sufferers and, more important, it
ought to stimulate all citizens to con
sult medical men promptly in case of
suspicious lumps and sores.
$240,000,000 WORTH OF TOYS
Regardless of the war, it looks like
the toy manufacturers of the United
States will be ready to lend Santa
Clans a helping hand this Christmas.
The toy manufacturers announce
that they have $240,000,000 worth of
toys ready fear the holiday season, in
chiding 100,000 new ones to gladden
the hearts of American childhood.
Naturally, national defense prepa
rations are reflected in die new bat
tleships, airplanes and anti-aircraft
guns but the old standby* will be
available, including a new doll with
a magnetic hand, able to hold what
ever is placed in it, and one with a

baby's.

COTTON CHOP LARGER
The 1940-41 world's cotton crop is

The U. S. Bureau of Agricultural
Economics estimates that the 1941
farm income .will be about $9,000,000
and may reaehxthe highest point
since 1929.

come, fncluritng Government pay
ments, is expected to exceed 49,OQO,
000,000, and may be the largest since
1929. A part of the increase in in
come m 1941 over 1940 will be offset
by increased costs of commodities
arid services used in farm production.
The remainder will go for improve
ments in tiie agricultural plant and a
better level of farm family living.
The. favorable farm outlook for
1941 is contingent, it was indicated,
upon an agricultural production of
about the same volume as in 1940,
since with large carryover stocks of
several commodities the total supply
of farm products will be fully ade
quate for the country's needs.
Excerpts from the report published
by the Bureau in the October "Agri
cultural Situation" follow:
I Greater consumer purchasing pow
?er in the United States in 1941 com
pared with 1940 is expected to result
in improved demand for farm prod
ucts. Consumer incomes will reflect
not only a substantial gain in indus
trial production, but also' the gradual
cumulative effects of the general im
provement in business conditions
during the past 2 years. The rapidly
expanding program for national de
fense is chiefly to be credited with
the anticipated increase in industrial
production, employment and consum
er incomes.; / .y
Export demand for United states
| farm products is likely to be worse
gin 1941 than it was in 1940. Con
tinental European markets are vir
tually closed. They will be closed
so long as present hostilities con
tinue. Exports of soybeans, feed
stuffs, and other products to Den
mark, the Netherlands, or other
contintenal countries will be greatly
reduced.
Cotton exports to Great Britain
and other countries are expected
to be much smaller in 1941 than in
1940. World suppplies of wheat are
large, Great\ Britain can obtain all
'heeded supplies from the domin
ions. War restrictions on imports
of fruits and miscellaneous products
by the United Kingdam will be ocri
tinued and may be jgpre stringent in I
1941 than in-1940.
Larger cash income- from market-1
ings of farm products and increased
coats-of farm prodnctidh are . in pros
pect for 194). Basis for this outlook
is a prospective increase in prices of
farm products and an increase in the
general level of prices of commodities
and services used in farm production.
The higher prices of farm prod
ucts will be induced by improvement
in consumer buying power and a rise
in the general level of wholesale
prices of commodities and services
used in farm production are expected
to result from the increased demand
for materials and men in the produc
tion of industrial goods' for national
defense. '
The exact extent of the prospective
rise-in prices of farm products and in J
the costs of production cannot be
predicted. It is probable, however,

?milter than, in 1940. ^Mreaaed in
comes from poultry product! are in- :
dicated by prospects for more nearly
normal supplies in 1941 and for im
proved consumer Improve
ment in the income from crops ap- -
pears most likely in the returns from
vegetables and from fruits consumed j
largely in domestic markets. Income I
from grains, cotton, and tobacoo is
tike& to be maintained by loan pto- J
grams despite refctively large carry- |
overs and small export outlets.
The rise in prices of farm products J
is likely to be most pronounced for
commodities which ace normally con
sumed almost entirely in'the United]
States. This applies especially to;
seme fruits and vegetables, and most
livestock and n livestock products.
Prices of most commodities largely
dependent on world markets, or which
are being supported by Government
loan programs, probably will not be
very different in 1941 than in 1940. I
Both the production and prices of fl
dairy products are expected to aver
fcge slightly higher in 1941, a pros
pective decline in hog production will
be offset in part by increased sales
efother meat animals, and the favor*
able influence of rising consumer in
comes upon the prices of meat I
thronghl941.
: As for costs of production, fewer
workers will be available for 'farm
employment than in 1940 because of
the higher level of industrial activity
and the increase in the armed forces
of the country. Farm wages proba
bly will be somewhat higher than in
,1940.
Prices of farm machinery, automo
biles, and building materials also
(may average slightly higher in 1941
because of the large requirements
I for steel and lumber products in the
| defense program. The moderate ad
vance in prices of fertilizer materials
may be reflected in higher retail
prices for fertilizer materials used
in 1941 production.
In a few years the new crop of
Frenchmen will believe that some-*
body pushed France into war vrith
Germany against the will of the
French people.
