Will Devine of Bsute 1 Shelby recently
worked oat a farm plan with
the assistance of the Broad Biver
aoil conservation district. As a part
of his farm plan, Mr. Devine will
have his farm terraced, establish and
follow a 2-year crop rotation of row
crops and small grain followed with
lespedeza. "1 consider terracing and
crop rotation two of the most important
steps toward soil conservation,"
says Mr. Devine.
Laurel E. Hoyle, a farmer near '
Lawndale, has several acrss of alfalfa
on his farm. Re says: "Alfalfa
will produce as much money per acre
as anything T can grow and it requires
less labor to grow than rem
crops. One of the most desirable fea
tures about growing alfalfa is t'.iprotection
from erosion it gives t- ]
the soil nn mv "
As a part of his farm plan, Lloyd
Wilson of near Fallsston will seed
several aerea of steep land to pasture.
Mr. Wilson says: "I realise that mr
farm, to raake the maximum profi*
should have a halanee between crops
and livestock. T plan to increase tlvnumber
of cattle on my farm, but
first I want adequnte pasture to sun
port them. Tbese steep areas will pro
vide economical feed and protect the
soil from- errosion."
The Soil Conservation Service Personnel
of the Cleveland County work
unit of the Broad River soil conservn
tion district recently conducted a
field tour for the Veterans' training
class of Bethware community. The
tour included visits to the following

The Office of Ptki Acftrvinistra
tioo died oOcteUy on Jane SO. 1946
Before it bad been inoperative tec
days, everybody whoee life anc
work were effected by II knew the
nation had sustained no serious loss
Calamities that were supposed V
fall upon the consumers of Anvw
lea did not happen. Some price*
roas a little; others fell. The la*
of supply and demand was stil
working. It had not been on vaca
tion.
In the building industries, amonj
real estate and lumber people, tim
id home seekers had predicted thi
wildest of run-away prices becausi
of the unprecedented housing de
mand. Everything necessary t<
make prioes sky-rocket was pres
ent, but the crepe-hangers were dia
appointed. Industrial leaders wen
into huddles and resolved for mod
eratkm, regardless ol piessure Iron
eager buyers.
Returned to Life
I Tbe deed bureau was lesnrrcctoc
on July 28 by political pressure. Otv
| powerful factor was tbe influence o
' thousands of bureaucrats whow
[ easy jobs were all but lost. Larai
i and weakened by legislative modi
flcatioos, the OPA lives and has cer
I tain functions. But those 28 inactivi
I days proved something: The long

government, whether they serve an;
useful purpose there or not, may to

the next few months, to justify i
supposed necessity for government
al price-Axing. In reality, increas

I upon to hold most prices dowr
Prices of some things will advanc
in spite of anything the OPA can dc
Look for Advances
In subsidized industries, wher
sharp advances were expected a
first, operators are using moders
tion in making upward revisions
While industrial leaders "hold th
price line," channels of trade ar
filling up steadily with new pre
duction and growing stocks hoi
prices down. Meat is only an ea
ample. Livestock hurries to mat
ket. Steaks and chops are on th
menu again.
There will be exceptions! It 5
likely that the human race wil
I never be free from opportunist
I ready to profiteer when there ar
i no restraints and crafty enough t
i run black-markets when res trie
Hons HTS in force. , Maybe ther
actually was an unhappy couple i
California on July 2, whose sand
| wiches advanced in price from 15
to 40c while they were being toasi
led. Anyway it was a good story.
Good Citizenship
We, the American people, ar
1 heirs of a dearly bought liberty. Wi
have an opportunity to prove tha
we are worthy to inherit it. We csu
do this by a fair approach to ever:
price problem. Whether we an
manufacturers, marketers, or con
turner), we have a part to play. W<
do not need anyone to play the roll
af dictator. Truly no price waa eve
Sxed successfully by statutory law
Consumers can keep prices righ

Lheir customers for suckers, by pa
Tonizing merchants who appreciafa
:heir confidence and by refusing fa
juy unnecessary things. We shoulc
De slow to retaliate against prici
rises that are needful. If workers
especially, will let growing produo
ion adjust prices before calling foi
ligher wages, it will go far towarc
lastening recovery for everybody.
