F\Z23ZIVG\ ~ M AHEAD GEORGE S. BENSON Put Men / "Hcrlt*q Ce'.tcgt Ua^HSo Searey Jrijnset * Saddles Casper, Wyo., boa3ts a saddle maker who has been at the business I for forty years in that city. He knows his trade, a fact not hard to prove. You see there are a great many people in his state who know a good saddle when they see one and a saddle maker has to be good to stay in business long in Wyoming. Not many days ago I dropped into his shop and got intro- ' duced. I was a prospective customer. We need a couple of good saddles at the Harding College stable and had shopped close to home with no success. To my astonishment the Casper saddler was no better able to supply our needs than those in Memphis or Little Rock. He was able, however, to give me soma facts I had not learned before from any of the saddle stores visited earlier. Saddletrees Scarce. A good saddle is built on a wooden frame called a tree, much as a shoe is built on a wooden last, except that the tree is built into the saddle and becomes a - permanent part of lb Saddletrees are made by men of a highly specialized craft. Trees have to be shaped right, no bulkier and no heavier than strength and design require. Men able to do such things with wood are by no means common. During the war Uncle Sam needed skillful saddletree men in the construction" of "gliders. "The government employed most of them at about $160 a week," the saddler declared. Good saddles not being made any more, might have akyrocketed in price but the Office of Price Administration fixed a ceiling to stop it. Stocks of new saddles soon were bought up by users at ceiling prices. dut. the War b Over Now the glider business is slack. Wonders have been done with gliders and they are not being forgotten, but fewer are being built. Unemployed saddletree men would like to start building saddletrees again?there's quite a demand. Living costs have built up, however, and they think they ought to have $120 a week. That's $6,000 a year and 25% under their defense-plant scale of pay. * Saddle manufacturers, like the one in Casper, want trees because ?no trees, no saddles. They are willing to pay tree builders $120 a week and wouldn't kick a bit if saddles might be sold at prices they would easily bring. I guess there are thousands of customers besides me who are ready to pay mote for a saddle than it would have cost in the months immediately before the war. r?!1hi? I I?? >" ?a vu "If today I engaged a good tree builder," said the Wyoming saddler, "paid him $120 a week in return for his best services and most competent work, and then sold the total product at ceiling prices, it would pay about three-fourths of the wages of the man who made the tree." Obviously it is out of balance. Craftsmen, manufacturers, dealers and users are all waiting for ceilings to lift. The saddle busifiess is not large when you contrast it to automobiles and railroads, but it is no isolated case. ' Many small business men are smothering for sales that are tied up by O.P.A. Small plants, employing less than 1,000 men, provide Jobs for 78%. of industrial workers. Carried too far, this price pol- ' icy can bring panic and poverty. Liquidating some war-year bureaus would help balance the national budget and help clear the way for new and muqh needed production. BOYS REDUCE HOO COSTS ^Animal Husbandry Jack Kelley of the State College Extension Service advisee that a few acres of soybeans grown on the average North Carolina farm this year will reduce hog production costs by at least 25 per cent and at the same time, guarantee heal hie* norkie*. One acre of good soybeans will provide grazing for 15to 20 hog*, will save 15 per cent of grain feed aud vO to 40 per cent of the protein feed required in raising hogs, KeI-> ley says. "Hogs cau clean gracing or pasture are able to avoid parasites and diseases which live from year to year in the soil," the expert reports. " In avoiding infested soil, pigs have an opportunity to grow uniformly and rapidly." 1 According to the National Conservation bureau 20 percent of all drownings in 1944 occurred in July with a total of 82 percent coming ta the period from May through August. Drownings were the second largest 'cause of accidental deaths for childten from 5 to 14 yearn old and fourth nmong children under 4 years. ^ While only 20 percent of ^11 the high schools In the country offer driver education courses, 78 per seal
