r nut ruUil vcuuu attuuu puying Power 01 Farmers Reflected In National Trends Of AH Business By WHEELER MeMILLEN Editor-in-Chiid, Farm Journal. Farmers buy roughly one-fourth of the nation's steel and petroleum. In some proportion their purchas es affect directly or indirectly the curves of i-vrry bunms chait The agricultural outlook has to be taken into account in an estimate of the 1 1 1 o 1 1 1 1 1 : ahead. Despite high co-ilr for many of the product" farmers must buy, agricultural purchasing power dur ing 1949 may be expected to con tinue at high levels Sagging prices for corn, wheat and soybeans may slow up some areas, but less ex pensive feed; luffs in turn mean lower costs and better profits for the more extensive livestock, dairy and poultry sectors of agriculture Those who watch for signs of ag ricultural leccs-'ioii will need to take into account that the pattern which followed the first World war cannot well repeat itself The most striking change stands forth in the relationship if laiiners and land to customers. Little, it any, more land is cultivated mm than in 1920 The number of farmers has de clined. But the number of domes tic consumers has risen from 105; million in 192U to 145.000.1100 now. The addition of 40.000.000 custo- ' mers whose food and fiber must ; come from about the'same number of acres presents a ven different I picture. Meanwhile, the efficiency of the farm plant has improved. Neai I been dramatically j v all of World War I I food wa produced with horse power. Tractors, power-driven ma chincrv. trucks and electrification have come almost wholly since that time. The adjustment involved in the decline of horse and mule pop ulation from :t(). 00(1 000 to fewer than 10.000.000 has been accom plished. This uneasy transition from home-produced power to an J almost all-cash farm econnmv does NOTICE OK SPECIAL ELECTION FOR THE EXTENSION OF THE C'OKI'OKATE LIMITS OF THE TOWN OF WAVNESVTLLE, TO INCLl'DE THE AREA KNOWN AS ALLEN'S CREEK SECTION.

Output Per Man Even taking into account the ad vances with hybrid corn and the spectacularly favorable crop weath er of the 1940's, average yields per acre have not risen notably. The conspicuous increase has been made in the output per man, and coi responding in his income Political signs all point to con tinuation of support piice at a fairly high level. Whatever tin long-range soundness oi this policy which has its severe critics even among farmers themselves, the cur rent effect, of course, is to assure against any immediate severe col lapse. A great many farmers favor a support-price program while granting that it may not be a sound policy. They point out that sik numerous government-maintained rigidities have been intro duced into the economic system that either farmers must have cor responding advantages for agri culture or. what seems to them unlikely, the others must be re- lavid. They further argue that! in periods when the free markets ! are erinoeH hv nvrliiliiuu;il ivmi,, ! major farm products tend to be come serioush uiulcrpriced with consequences disastrous to them and injurious to the whole national economy. If the export requirements for (farmstuffs recede during 1949, some favorable effects are naturally expected to be left by the produc- ers most concerned. The high level of domestic consumption, however, will be counted upon to pravent such effects from being fell deeply. In fact, this prospect may already have been discounted in the prices offered during the autumn.

Dr. I. O. Schaub. director of the North Caro lina Agricultural Extension Service, ; said this week in urging Tar Heel ! farmers to participate in the U. S. savings bond "Opportunity Drive," I May 16-,Iune 20. "Even at its best, farming is a I highly speculative business," Dr. I Scaub asserted. "To meet unexpect I ed reverses, farmers need to keep a financial reserve in a sale dui readily available form. An ideal way of doing this is to invest in U. S. savings bonds." "Many farmers have surplus funds which they plan to invest in new equipment as soon as prices come down," the Tar Heel agri cultural leader continued. "As every good businessman knows, it's better to put such extra mohey to work rather than let it lie idle. Dollars invested in savings bonds will return good dividends over a period of years." The confidence of the people in the savings bond program, Dr. Schaub said, is shown by the fact that sales in Narth Carolina from May, 1941. through December, 1948, readied the amazing total of $916, Probably great numbers in agrl culluie concluded that for them nidation had come to an end when prices of major commodities slid off during the year. Others were able to pieceive that the creation of excessive money supply is en tirely unrelated to supply and de mand and that their selling prices were being affected by large sup tion was still driving upward some plies on the one hand, while Infla of the materials they were having 10 ouy. Since few farmers expect their selling prices to rise higher, more intensive effort to reduce costs of production will be made. This ef fort will be reflected in sales of time-saving equipment and of yield-increasing materials such as fertilizers, insecticides and chemi cal weed-killers. LAFF - fajifay' N. ("All I baatoafog'CEorge Wit to broU Vftgfjcg THE WAYNESVILLE MOITNTAINEEB ,?? X 1 WASHINGTON The American dead of World War II who will not be reburied in this country will rest permanently overseas in especially-planned cemeteries soon to be established in 14 different areas. The cemeteries 10 in the Eur opean theater, three in the Medi terranean and one in the Pacific are being set up by the American Rattle Monuments Commission with funds appropriated by the 80th Congress. In addition, the World' War 1 cemetery at Surcsnes, France, overlooking the city of Paris, is being converted as a shrine to the dead of both great wars. Recently 24 World War II "unknown" were buried there beside the 1.541 dead of World War I. Suresnes, because of its acces sibility, is where most official mem orial ceremonies are held honoring the American war dead in Eur opean theater. Addition of two wings to the devotional chapel are planned. Plans for the 14 new cemeteries are already well under way. Brig. Gen. Thomas North, Secretary, of the Monuments Commission says. Individual architects, employed for each cemetery, have already sub mitted plans for memorials and chapels. AH but three of these have been okayed by the Fine Arts Commit sion and others involved in the building of the cemeteries. Each cemetery will have a small non-sectarian chapel. It will have a museum chamber in which the achievements of the men who fought and died in the region are recorded in stone. Upon the walls, or immediately adjacent thereto, will be inscribed also the names of war dead wno have no known graves the missing dead. Gen. North says the commission is about to start placing orders for headstones for the estimated 115, 000 World War II dead whose bodies will not be brought home. These will be exactly the same as those marking graves of dead of World War I of white stone or marble in the shape of a modified latin cross, three feet three inches high. Actual work on the cemeteries is expected to get started this sum- 342,549. The State goal in the cur rent "Opportunity Drive" is $12 -000,000. A - DAY SAYS DON'T BURN GRASS AMHERST.

(UP) When buses arrive at the Chesaco Ayenue bridge here, they stop and the passengers get out and walk across the bridge. Then the buses cross the bridge and pick up the passengers again. The bridge is on a vital arttery, but its weight limits has just been cut to three tons. The ancient Romans often built huge ponds in which they kept decorative fish. mer. In the meantime, the remains of dead to stay overseas are in temporary cemeteries maintained by the Army. The Battle Monu ments Commission is responsible for the construction and mainten ance of cemeteries in foreign coun tries. In addition to the proposed new cemeteries it is charged with eight World War L American mili tary cemeteries in Europe contain ing the graves of 30,908 dead of that war. i4?4$s fir Bendix announces the newest, simplest, automatic washer at world's lowest price!

By CYNTHIA LOWltY AP N't wsfeat ores Writer The editor f a Chinese daily oaoer. oMe Kung Tehpo, recently advised in print the acting pres ident nf China not to listen to his wife een If nhe were right. Editor Kuna went on to say that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and the late Sun Yat-sen, hist presi dent of th? Chinese Republic, had been "disastrous failures" because thev had fallen into the pitfall of heeding distaff advice "... When a hen crows to an nounce the dawn it signifies mis fortune for the family," Kung editorialized solemnly. "Similar ly, when a woman interferes in the government it presages disaster tor the nation." It might be a little presump tuous to suggest that maybe many of China's troubles s;tem Irom at titudes like that taken by Editor Kung. In a republic called the United States, it is deemed a sign of virtue for a man to pay atten tion to the advice of his partner, In fact, lie boasts about it openly. During a recent presidential campaign, a man named Harry Truman appeared on the rear plat form of a train many times, and almost invariably brought his wife forward with words like "And now I want you to meet the boss." Then his daughter came forward to his introduction "Meet the boss' boss" The people loved it,- 'because it was home-spun humor that had more Hum a grain of truth in it. At about the same time, Editor Kung, another fellow was barn storming (he country with the idea ! of becoming president. In press conferences, over the air and on other occasions this man, named Thomas E. Dewey, explained that Mrs. Dewey was his toughest critic and most severe editor. She went over every speech before he gave it. and blue -pencilled things she didn't like, lie talked over all his problems with her. lie said. Messrs. Truman and Dewey are merely rather flashy examples of a common practice in this country, Editor Kung. and il seems to have worked out rather well. Some times, in fact, women have been able to come up with suggestions political and domestic which made some sense. Just the other day in my neck of the woods.

It just might be that the wife of the acting president of China might be able to tell her husband to administer a strategic kick which would solve the prob lems of a government, instead of a hot water heater. Maybe not, of course. And while we're on the subject, Mr. Kung, I'd love a little ex planation of that ancient Chinese axiom about the hen crowing at dawn. It was obviously torn from its frame of reference, and it doesn't seem to have any applica tion here.
