THURSDAY, MARCH 6, TELEPHONE ?1 i 4-H ¥ ON TOURS Older 4-H girls interested Sn impLoving then rooms attend ed the Eastern County 4-H \ Room Improvement Torn- a t 'Wolcott last Saturday. The giris in, the \Western County group will make a similai tour this Saturday, March 8, at Ontario. The Wolcott Tour was atteiid- * qd by a n interested group of ■ leaders, parents, and members. The first stop was at the home of Miss Eunice Terbush, 4-H -• leader of North Huron. Miss Terbush explained how she • built a much needed closet in h e r room and showed the girls how it was made The next visit : f'Was \at the home of Dorothy Johnson, in 8th year member. ^Dorothy proudly exhibited her newly papered room with its ■ pink dnd blue color scheme, told about her cut-down bed, show-' .-; ed her dressing table which she finished herself, her dresser Which ^ explained her future plans. The ( last, place visited was the cosy •room of Phyllis Fralick. Here j ..,the girls saw how curtains could 'dress up the windows and room, < a homemade dressing table, ■ another homemade built-in . closet and the interesting color '■scheme and arrangement of , furniture and pictures. In Ontario this Saturday the Western 4 H Room Improve- r ment Tour will start at the .Bowling Hall at 1:30 p. m. and will.include the rooms of Doro- ■ rthy Alborn and Mabel DeGroo-t.. Girls on-this tour will see-about the same type of rooms and im provements as those in Wolcott. The purpose of these bi-coun ty tours is to show the interest- 64 4-H members what a few older girls have already done in this field of 4-H room improve ment. Many of the visiting girls Will see changes and receive ideas which they can take back - and apply to their own rooms. The leaders will then learn from their own club members what they are interested in and cab request training for that particular work when Mrs. Ro man, specialist from Cornell, comes to Wayne April 3rd and 4th for the 4-H Leaders Train ing School. _; ' ■ ' », -i --------- O ---------- Business Outlook Portends Higlier Returns for Farms Following is a portion of a . In a perj0(j of generally rising comprehensive agricultural put- ^ falling prices, wages, distri- look for 1941 in New Y®rk State, bution costs, and, retail prices as compiled by the Extension! tend to change less than do Service staff of the 'Jjjew York -wholesale prices. Farmers, in State. College of Agriculture,1 general, sell at wholesale and Cornell University, Included are buy at retail. Therefore, a rise surveys of farm industries most in the general level of prices common to, Wayne County. ■ | would M p tQ correct the ,pre_ Indications point to a con- ' sent disparity between prices of tinued high level of business things farmers sell and of these activity in this cou.ntry during > they buy 1941. Brices of basic commodi ties were rising during the lat ter part of 1940 but were still about 10 per cent below the level of 1937. It is expected that there will be a further rise in basic-commodity prices a n d that this, rise may occur during the next year or two. Business activity in- this country rose about 10 per cent during the fall months of 1939 following the outbreak of the war and then declined during the Winter and spring of 1940 fid* a “little below where it was at the start of the rise. During the summer and fall of 1940, she had remodeled and business activity was rising and before the end of the year had more than recovered from the drop taken during the first p.art of the year. In late 1940, busi ness activity was nearly one- fifth above the average of 1929- 30. Defense Work is Stimulant A new factor that has ap peared in the business situation during the past year is the defense program. This’ will help to maintain the present high level of business activity and probably will increase it fur ther during 1941. Another im portant factor affecting busi ness activity is the building situation. Building activity in the United States goes through cycles of about eighteen years in length. The peak of the last cycle was in 1925 and the bot tom in 1933. ‘ Indications are that the building industry is definitely 'on the uphill side of the cycle and will be stimulated further by the defense program. Increased business activity means more employment, high er farm and city wages, and increased demand for farm products. During t,he latter part of il»t4 pricks of basic commodi ties in the United States were about one-sixth above the 1910- 1914 level. At the same time prices of farm products in this country were about at the 1910- 1914 level, farm wages about one-fourth above, retail prices of’ food about one-third, aboyg, cost of distributing food about three-fourths above, and cost of livifig about one-half above. Even with some improvement in the situation since 1933, farm prices are still badly out of line with farm wages, prices of farm supplies, and cost of living. Food Surpluses Noted . A. Berlin chemist, Fritz Frank, (.-> has perfected a paper which will eiot burn even if subjected to a ‘heat of 700 degrees Centi- I f :al piece of: ordinary newspaper is, enclosed within a bag made of this paper, and the flaine of' a Bunsen burner ' is . turned upon the bag, no change . Will fake place in either the bag or thesfnewspaper. This inven- . tion is expected to prove invalu- ■> able for the preservation of im portant documents. An increase of from 30 to 40 per cent in -farm prices is need ed to restore a reasonable bal ance between prices at which farmers buy and sell. Such an increase in farm prices would not have a'm a terial effect on retail prices of food and cost of living, whigh are now high compared with farm prices be cause they stayed relatively high when the general price level fell drastically following the World War of 1914-1918 and again following 1929. In a per iod of generally rising prices, retail prices of food arid cost of living rise much less than do wholesale prices. In 1940,, the United States production and carry-over of “ “ allf'drksUc'; both wheat .and corn was about 15 per cent above the 1935-1939 average. This country also had larger-than-average crops of potatoes, beans, cabbage, and rice, and a 1940 production and carry-over of all feed grains of about 12 per cent above aver age. The United States stocks of food would be adequate but not excessive if the people who want food could get it. In this country, unemployment, low incomes, and high retail prices prevent many persons from buying the food they need. Blockades, trade barriers, and disrupted transportation facili ties limit exports of food to Europe and seem likely to con tinue to do so as long as the war continues. Imports Exceed Exports In the past twenty-five years, the population of this country “has increased about one-third but the total production of food j and Jeed crops has increased ;only about one-seventh. There- ' fore, per-capita production of , food and feed crops has de- ' elined about one-seventh. Prior to' 1923, the United States usu ally produced more food than it consumed and so exported more than it imported. Since 1923, this country has imported more food than it exported, and indi- • cations are that, except in war [ periods, there is little. likeli- | hopjd of the United; States., ex porting for any length of time more food than it imports. • Continued on Page Thirteen b ----------- Geography students have learned the island of Crete is a small body of land entirely sur rounded by international com plications. ON WAR AID Washington, March 4—A bar gain with .Great Britain, where by that nation would increase purchases of surplus American, farm products as partial corn- pens.ation for the,.United States giving full support' to the Brit ish war program,“is being urged by congressmen frpm rural areas. . * Farm groups, which a re back ing this proposal, point out that exports of farm products have fallen off alarmingly and that the lend-lease bill offers an op portunity to make a deal'to-re gain the lost British market, j The farm representatives axe also complaining that Great Britain is buying fan n ' products from other countries—cotton from Brazil and tobacco from Turkey—but is confining its purchases here to munitions. - | Last year, government experts estimate, U. S. exports of,cotton fell off 75 per cent, of wheat lover 50 per cent, and th a t the (decrease in exports of tobacco, fruit an 4 „ other products were Surplus crops have therefore become a more serious problem than ever. Question Turfis to Next Step When all doubt ended last week as to passage of the lend- lease bill, discussions here turn ed to what will happen .next. Those discussions r e v o l v e around the questions of how long we can keep out of'actual war, what new measures will he taken to speed up production of' planes and other needed equip ment and what methods will be used to meet the huge expense that this program will incur. It is feared that the answers to these problems will involve more squabbling and ill-feeling than the lend-lease bill itself, since many of the Republicans who opposed that bill did so be cause they didn’t want to give Mr. Roosevelt ‘‘dictatorial” pow ers—not because they were op posed to full aid to England. The revenue and defense pro duction programs, however*, are more entirely domestic -situa- tions — and the Republicans have, a strong du b to. back up their opinions on these -meas ures—namely, the business leaders who are called upon to produce the implements of wan- On the other hand, the admin istration feels it is necessary to give labor the best break possi ble. The administration may feel that it is playing ball with big business by placing business leaders in many key positions in the defense program, but it is evident that many business men don’t agree. Speaking in behalf of th e ‘National Association of Manufacturers, James Prestctn, Washington columnist, refers to government “plotters” who are “sniping at business men” and says, “If the sniping continues, it wouldn’t surprise many in Washington to see a whole group of business men*>tell the President that unless the firing ceases they will pack up their bags'. . . and go home.” Rough Road Ahead Jt is .expected • that, unless some super-plan is thought up to make peace between the ad ministration, business land la bor, the defense program is go ing to travel a rough road. Un founded reports that Wendell1 Willkie might head the Ameri can Federation -of Labor is an example of the type of move, which might be taken to im prove the situation. The new tax program, which will come up this month, is cer tain to put business on guard, ready to start battling all tax suggestions which would, fur ther reduce profits. I t is expect ed, however, that congress will try to spread taxes over,, all vvage-earners rather than raise funds by new “soak business” . or “soak the rich” -levies, and that efforts also will be made to , do much of the necessary bor rowing from the public at large. Informants close to the treas- ( ury department say that it i? considered essential that much of the increased national pur chasing power, resuMmg from the defense program,he loaned back to the government, or price inflation will' follow. They point out that a big public de mand for automobiles, and other luxuries people would buy as their incomes increase, would mean' that industries now doing | defense work, would not be able to supply the demands of the i Why complain public.
