TOWN OF WILL1AMSTON, C. M. Cobb,'Treasurer.
Old Axiom Is
True As Ever
New York.—For a while this
year it looked as though at least
one economic axiom no longer
held true: the one that says
neither farmers nor city folk can
prosper long separately. Accord
ing to winter and spring forecasts
by many economists, 1950 was to
be a year of depression for the
farmer, of continuing good times
for his city cousin. It doesn't look
that way today. Unless the Ko
rean war throws the entire econo
my out of whack, farm folk will
have prosperity this year too.
Overall national figures show a
dip in farm income to date, but
the trend appears to have turned
up again.
Agricultural economists are
now predicting that the Depart
ment of Agriculture will have to
revise earlier estimates that 1950
rural income would sink 17 per
cent below 1949 levels. In Indiana
—a typical corn-hog-cattle pro
ducing area in the great midwest
“breadbasket region" — farm
equipment sales (a good barom
eter to farm prosperity) are de
finitely on the upgrade. One deal
er reported an 80 percent sales
gain in May over the same month
of 1949. Good volume for tractors,
corn planters, and similar mach
inery was also maintained all
through June. "Farmers seem to
have changed their minds about
conditions,” says this dealer. “I
don't know whether it’s fear of
inflation, or the war scare, or
| what it is. But they're coming in
i and laying down the cash.”
That this is no isolated case
seems evident from the following
summary of the situation by Iowa
State College: “A boomlet . . .
a dose of mild inflation . , . the
outlook is good."

Master File Of
TheRacketeers
A master file of all prominent
racketeers is being prepared by
Senate crime investigators in
Washingtori, it was announced re
cently. Chairman Kefauver stat
ed that a special committee of
the Senate is engaged in compil
ing a file, cross-indexted, which
little by little may piece together
a pattern of how these crime oper
ations interlock. Senators can
cross check the records of every
suspected operator in the world of
gambling, narcotics, and other il
legal interests. Investigators will
use the records to trace the way
the underworld operates. The Se
nate Appropriations Committee
made public confidential testi
mony of F. B. I. Director J. Edgar
Hoover, saying that local and na
tional crimes have increased a
great deal. Mr. Hoover said that
"our crime picture today reflects
a much more serious problen
than during the pre-war years ’

the rapes, and a fourth of all rob
beries and larcenies.
