Sharp dents are made less noticeable if the process is repeated and the wood sanded smooth. Or use a shellac stick which your paint store car ries in a shade to match the finish. Apply it with a sol dering iron just hot enough to melt the stick. Level the shellac oft with a spatula or knife.

Agricultnie In Action O.N PRIDE AND PRICES Talking to thi.s farmer the oth er day. ^ “I lose about ten jjer cent on every individual item I sell off my farm,” he said. “Have to ' make ur.y profit on volume.” He was joking. Things aren’t , that bad. Almost, though. A far mer has to figure close these , daj’8 to come out ahead. Still, the ! margin is getting slimmer. i The figures show it. From 1947 ; to 1964, gross U. S. farm income i leaped from about $34 billion to ' $42 billion. That’s an increase of more than 22 percent. Didn’t help murti, rhough. Be- i cause, in the meantime, farm j production expenses went up I from $17 billion to over $29 bil- i lion. That’s an increase of al- j most 72 percent. The result? Realized farm net income over those years dropped from some $17 billion d.c,w'n to a little over $12 billion. A decrease ol over 27 percent, ecen with that big hike In the .gross figure. Yeah, things are tough. Still many of us are shocked that agriculture flunks sore people. We shouldn’t be surprised at the dropout rate. Something like 20 percent of all new retail busi nesses fail in their first yesr. Those farmers who have sur vived the growing cutback in farms should be proud. They can’t :be called "average” far mers. A farmer who is just aver age can't make it anymore. Still, he can say he failed on his own. What about that profit prob lem? Administration horn-toot- ers seem to be saying that sweat and close figuring and market improvement are out. What’s in, they tell us, is the farm subsidy. The government hand-out. In other words, if times aren’t good, Uncle Sam can pay you enough so you won't realize it. Think we’ll go talk that far mer again. Bet he’d rather work for himself than the government. Even with that ten per cent loss he was laughing about. Drilling for underwater oil is several times more expensive than land drilling. A test well costs about $3-million. STRICTLY FRESH "Where did he get that black eye?” “He was the best man and kissed the bride after the wedding.” “What’B wrong with that?” “It was a year after the wedding.”^ ^ ^ An applicant for an in surance policy, asked what his father liad died of, re plied, ‘1 forgot, but it was nothing Serious.”^ The young man had been dating the same girl for more than a year and one evening the girl’s father confronted him and want ed to know whether the lad’s intentions toward his daughter were honorable or dishonorable. “Gee,” said the younjf beau, swallowing hat'd. “» didn’t know I bad • choice."
