Better Balanced Farming
Thr success of agriculture ir. the future rests not
with a form of dole, but in an assured protection of
the farmer s labor and the natural resources on his
lands that will make for a more balanced farming
system. A recent bulletin of the I'nitcd Slates I>e
partment of Agriculture says, in this connection, the
following;
"ITotecting the land and |>rotecting the income
of those who depend U|*jn the land inevitably go to

pluses. lowers fertility and ecposes the land to erosion
by wind and water Through this process the soil re
sources of present and future generations are de
stroyed.
"Without nation-wide cooperation to secure better
balanced farming, many larmers may be compelled by
the force of competition to sell the production re
sources ol their land and disregard their own and thr

Types of development uhidi hastened naste of soil
were encouraged in tke period of pioneering and by
abnormal wartime demand. Waste of soil has been
so extensive that conservation of soil resources has
become a national problem. Tke need now is to pre
serve the productivity of tke land upon which tke
nation must deprnd lor the bulk of its food and fiber.
These are the reasons why the AAA conservation pro
gram operates through a system of payments enabling
farmers to cuoserve soil on the individual farms of
the country , and why the Federal Government makes
funds available for this purpose "

The apparent unfairness of chronicling the hirfi in

no mention of the income tax has been pumted out
Ike case ot llenrv Luce, magazine man. was cited.
Luce had an estimated income of 51.200,000 last year,
but the Federal income lasers get around $700,000.
and the Slate of New York extracts SSSjOOO more,
leaving Mr. Luce with about $415,000 net. They are
sizeable reductions, all right, but that $415,000 net
is quite a tidy sum, it must be admitted.

Airship vs. Battleship
Smfoit \etn-HtrmU
it is our belief that until the world is ready to con
son with peace as an international and national pol
icy. the stress in construction ol the machines of war
should be laid on the airship instead ui the battleship.
We fully realize what effect this will have upon com
munities largely dependent upon government navy
yards and shipbuilding plants. But if the nations of
the earth will abandon aggressive warfare as a policy
and turn their efforts to the arts of pace employ their
money and their resources for the conservation instead
or the iir-truction of life and property, these mam
moth [ilants will enjoy a prosperity never hitherto
known.
