Not Rolling In Prosperity The farmers of the nation, as a whole, are enjoying larger incomes, retiring their debts and adding to their financial assets. When World War II began, the financial resources of farmers were 'estimated at $5,250,000,000 and their -total debts approximated $10,000, 000,00X This has been reversed and, at the end of 1945, the liabilities of farmers were estimated at $5,000, 000,000, with cash resources of more than three times that amount. The 1946 income of American farmers is estimated at $26,000,000, 000,000, compared with $21,468, 000,000 in 1945 and $21,038,000,000 in 1944. These figures will probably lead some Americans to conclude that the average farmer is rolling in pros perity, but they should not overlook the fact that wages for farm hands have steadily increased and that pro duction costs have gone up consider ably. The situation, according to the Alexander Hamilton Institute, which is not partial to farmers, is that, de spite the record income, the purchas ing power of American farmers, based on 1929 as 100, declined both in 1944 and 1945. This is due to the fact that the increase in agricultural prices was not sufficient to offset the rise in the prices of goods bought by the farmers. This trend is expected to be reflected in the figures for 1946, due to higher prices for manu factured goods caused by recent wage increases. The increased wages that factory workers are now receiving are ex pected to strengthen the strong de mand for all farm products and to prevent any material deflation in farm prices. How To Start Fires With the approach of cold weather, the nation will witness an increase in the number of fires, in homes, in business places and in the forests, and, consequently, the public is be ing offered plenty of free advice on the methods they should adopt in or der to prevent fires.

Coltrane, Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture, who released figures on recent analyses completed at the State Department of Agriculture.

In order o be accepted for enlistment under hese provisions the following steps - ; : v This is interestinir. Rv reversing must be used, Navy personnel and a series of "don'ts." sent out by the former members of the Coast Guard Fire Protection Institute, we are able ' must bring along with their dis- to balance the propaganda and to give our readers the latest expert sugges tions on the best methods of start ing incendiary blazes at this time of the year. Here they are: 1. Smoke in bed. 2. Leave the electric iron turned on while you gossip over the back fence with a neighbor. 3. Hang your fire extinguisher in a dark corner, behind boxes, brooms and ironing board. Never inspect or refill it. 4. Use a wastebasket for cigaret ashes never use an ash tray. 5. Hang filmy curtains on kitchen windows, with sufficient length to blow over any open llame on the range. 6. Store cans of gasoline, oil and grease in the garage and be sure that there is no fire extinguisher near your automobile. 7. Forget the Fire Department's telephone number and, if possible, misplace the telephone directory. 8. Always use inflammable fluids to clean clothing, especially if work ing near an open flame. It is a help- ful idea to smoke a cigaret while do ing this work. 9. Never put a fire screen in front of your open hearth fires, re- i gardless of how high the fuel is piled. 10. Do not bother to inspect elec tric wiring, or replace frayed wires ' on electrical appliances. 11. Keep a large pile of oil-soaketi s rags and mops in a remote corner of ' the house. Spontaneous combustion ''will provide a good fire and it will be especially dangerous if it begins un der the stairs. 12. When cooking on a gas stove, -leave pots boiling. Sometimes the liquid will overflow and extinguish the flame, thus, permitting the gas to fill the room. The pilot light will eventually, provide the fireworks. 13. JSy ' following the above ug stions, you and your family will shortly be , living in a tent .This is not to" bad because outdoor life is healthy.' but if t you do not correct your habits it won't be long before charge Nav-pers. Form 553 (Navy and Coast Guard separation record). This is for verification of prior ser vice. Former members of the Marine Corps must have their Nav MC Form 78-P, (Marine Corp Separation Rec ord). The Army urgently needs men who are qualified in the specialties listed under this order.
