Small dents may be re
moved from wooden objects
by placing a damp cloth
over them and applying a
hot iron. 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.

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. “»
