If high tariffs and other price-sup-1 porting devices for industrial prod ucts have (1) adversely affected the foreign market for farm products or (2) increased living and production costs of fanners in this country, then the fanner is entitled to similar "protection" from the government There seems to be no' doubt bat that certain policies of the Federal government, adopted to "protect" in dustry and labor, have impaired the foreign markets for oar export crops. The figures also reveal that the prices of farm products in relation to non farm prices are about 225 per cent below a normal relationship. Consequently, in our opinion, there is the most complete justification for compensating "protection" for farm ers in the form of cash benefits, often referred to as the "farmers' tariff." Now, let us proceed another step. If cash benefits to farmers are justi . fied by the fact that Federal policies have aided industry and increased the costs of what the farmers have to buy then the fact emerges that both policies increas the costs of liv ing to all consumers. The question arises, "What shall the government do for the rest of the people who do not receive benefits, like industry, and agriculture?" Should there be other benefits ? Would it be simpler to abolish all benefits? FARMERS AND THE PRICE RATIO Fanners should not lose sight of the ratio that exists between ? the prices they have to pay for the things they buy and the prices they get for the things they sell. For example, the price of cotton and wheat might double but if the things that cotton and wheat growers buy triple the plight of the growers would become worse despite the in creased price they get for their crops. This is what has happened in the nation during the past quarter of a century. Prices for the products of. the farm have not attained pre-war figures but prices of non-agricultural products are above them. The surpluses that have plagued the farmers of the nation are being slowly disposed of under present methods of crop control. Agriculture in the United States is on a limited production basis but prices continue below pre-war figures. Agriculture win only attain its pre-war status when there is available a market, at fair prices, for the production of the natron's farms without crop control. The reader win note that we said "wiU only attain its pre-war status" in the above paragraph. It is afcfll questionable whether the pre-war status of agriculture is sufficient, either from the standpoint of the farmers or the welfare of the nation, as a whole.

Snapp,] senior entomologist of &e U. S. De-| partment of Agriculture, at the peaeh l insect laboratory at Fort Valley, Gal Bo well says that the emulsion has! many advantages over the previous-! ly recommended paradichlorobeiisenB j crystal method. For one thing, it is effective at low soil temperatures] and ean therefore be used late in thai fall and early in the spring, whsn it] is too cold for the P.D.B. crystal s to I be effective. Also it is effective and | safe for use on young trees as well! as old trees. J The entomologist further explain- ( ed that the ethylene dichloride treat- J ment requires a minimum of prep-] aration of the soil before treatment, j and no attention subsequent to mounding after treatment Just as J good results are obtained by pouring! it around the trees as by the use of] a sprayer. The cost is lees than that] of P. D. B. The emulsion is available in a ] commercial preparation, which is ] recommended for small orehardbts,] but Rowell said that large growers] may find it more economical to *mix their own. He offered to furnish full]1 details to all interested persons who j write him at State College, Raleigh. I He said, however, that most county b farm agents are in a position to ad- j vise farmers on the source and] methods of using ethylene dichloride I j emulsion.
