SELECT NEXT YEAR'S SMALL GRAIN SEED Now is the time for small grain growers of North Carolina to take inventory, says A. D. Stuart, Ex tension Seed Specialist at State College. "It is best to take stock of next year's seed supply," he said, "be fore it is too late to remember Which lot of grain was the best qaulity. and had the highest purity i in the field." Next year's plant-1 ing seed should be saved now and set aside where damage from in sects and rodents will not be likely, i he added. A-Oarge crop of grata- now uaual ly means that very little attention, will] be paid to seed planted this fall. The wise farmer will see that enough good seed is avail able to sow his acres because qual ity will again count in the product grown. Poor quality seed will now take its accustomed place at the bottom of the ladder of quality and low return to the farmer. If 'your fields were severely damaged by disease this year or if nematode appeared in your wheat, you should plan now to get and use good seed for next year's crop, adding that if possi ble, seed of certified quality should be used.

Many folks talk about profit! at though they were injurious.- These lolksTn dulge in side-glances, as if profits were a vicious imposition upon the people. Profits, to some who are misled or misinformed, have as* sumed a negative sound. The fal lacy is that industry arrives at sell ing prices by piling onto production costs as much profit as the traffic will bear; This is not the way profits are calculated. Sales priccs on the tags are the prime consideration. In a free com- | petitive market, the price tag is not marked according to preconceived notions of what the profit ought to be. Another fallacy, that free en terprise makes goods for profit rath er?than for use. comes to light here. The consumer is king in a free mar- - ket: the price tag is slave to the demands of a price-conscious buy ing public. This is one game in which the consumer takes the sweep itakes. Efficiency Is King Tou and I manufacture radios. We meet squarely in the market, where mine Is priced at $100 and yours at $75. If the quality is the same, I must either lower my selling price to compete or give to the customer one-third greater value than you do. rhe lower the price and the more quality included, the better off each Df us will be?saleswise. And the flrst one of us to achieve quantity | lales, or real mass production, will be the first one to give the customer lower prices and better quality. Competition thus regulates the sell ing price regardless of my costs. The cycle is just that simple. To Keep factories running, the goal of Dur industries is to make a better product available to a larger num ber of people through mass produc tion and lower selling costs. After deducting costs from the customer's price the result may or may not'be i profit. When the margin is un eomfortably close, the next logical ptep will be toward more efficient production. Efficiency of operation means to Industry the ability to keep down posts of making and selling a prod act. The object is a favorable po iltion on the open market. This means that factories must be busy eonstantly, taking up the unem ployed, supplying products at lower posts to an ever increasing buying public. Not only idle men, but idle money, is called for to provide the tools to increase output. Hie Public Profits Winner of this game is the buying public. Because of the profit incen* tive and free competition, the public reaps huge dividends in the form of better merchandise at fair prices, to the average eitizen of socialistic snd totalitarian countries, where I Have observed' that these things are sever duplicated, these simple facts teem sn unattainable dream. What American would wish to exchange ftxis system for methods that?have aever succeeded half so well? Profit is no parasite feeding on our economic systeiq. Profit is the life blood of the industrial and busi ness enterprises responsible for the highest level of civilization the world aas known. Freedom to compete ?gainst skill and efficiency by using better skill and more efficiency means a progressive civilization?not i static economy that either withers iway or makes spoilage for the ilers. .
