The California Potato Growers as
i sociation wants the government's
price support program for po
, tatoes abolished, the acre limita-
lion removed and a new govern
ment subsidy plan established.
The association adopted resolu
I tions at its mectinz here vesterdav
embodying the recommended
changes. R. W. Ferguson, chair
man, said the new plan would
work this way:
Say a grower spends 110,000 pre
paring an acre of potatoes for mar
ket. He sells in an uncontrolled
market and realizes only $8,000.
The government would pav him
onehalf of his 52,000 loss, of 11,000.
One resolution stated the asso
ciation is "unalterably opposed to
the potato marketing agreement as
proposed by the secretary of agri
culture, as well as the present
price support program and the
so-called Brannan plan."
"We believe there, should be no
legal restriction upon the equality
of opportunity to produce crops,"
stated another resolution adopted
Dy tne association.

Nitrogen Boost
Advised For Soil
Give your pastures a boost with
an application of nitrogen.
That's the suggestion of Arthur
S. King, OSC extension soil con
servation specialist, who adds that
peak feed production from either
grazing or silage will be available
a month earlier on fertilized pas
tures. He stales that good pasture seed
lings will profit from an applica
tion which contains 30 to 40 pounds
of actual nitrogen per acre.
This quantity of nitrogen would
be supplied in 150 to 200 pounds
of ammonium sulphate or its equi
valent in other nitrogen fertilizers.
On good seeding of mixed
grasses and legumes. King as
serts the use of 200 pounds of am
monium sulphate or its eouivalent
win produce enougn extra teed
equal to more than a ton of eood
hay. Nitrogen applications made at
any time during the year will in
crease pasture growth, but early
spring applications are especially
effective.

ing on fall seeded grains to be cut
for either hay or grain offers
another possibility for increasing
feed production. Twenty to 30
pounds of available nitrogen ap
plied at this season of the year
as a top dressing will result in
profit, the specialist believes, add
ing that heavier applications may
be in order on poorer soils.
Growers of perennial grass who
cut their crops for seed generally
recognize the need for spring nitro
gen applications of between 30 to
60 pounds of nitrogen per acre
the late, wet spring this year
has delayed application of nitro
gen bearing fertilizers on many
farms in the state. Some grower."
King states, are making use o

vantage. Wet soil could easily dc
lay ground applications until they
win be loo late to promote early
spring growth.

! Supply, Demand
Law Determines
Price Of Hogs
WASHINGTON, April 3 (,P
The economic law of supply and
demand is free to set prices in
the nation's hog markets.
An agriculture department com
mitment to keep prices from drop
ping below levels declared to be
"fair" to both farmers and con
sumers expired Friday night be
cause of lack of funds to finance
possible support operations.
Only once since supports were
first set up for hogs in 1941 did
the government find it necessary to
carry out its commitment and that
was in 1944. Lxcept for a few oc
casions, prices have averaged
amive support levels.
But withdrawal of the govern
ment price prop ccmes at a time
when marketings of hogs are ex
pected to increase and prices to
decline. Even as the support pro
gram lepsed, prices averaged
slighlly below the March floor of
$16 20 for 100 pounds.
But the government is expected
to relurn to the markets with price
supports if and when Congress ap
proves an administration request
for an additional $2,000,000,000 to
finance farm support programs.
The House has passed legislalion
granting the request, but a modi
fied version is pending in the Sen
ate. The government already has
more than $4,000,000,000 of its $4 -750.000,000
price support poll in
vested in farm surpluses. Commit-

There are still some merchants in business today (believe it or
not) who are skeptical of the value of advertising who say that
"people are going to buy anyway" and point to their sales figures
as proof-positive.
HERE IS WHAT EARL LIFSHEY
EDITOR, "RETAILING DAILY"-SAYS:
"Of course advertising pays. And when I meet a merchant who declares
he doesn't regard advertising as important and points to his business as 'proof
I've never yet gotten a completely satisfactory answer when I asked: 'But how
much better would your business be if you did advertise? How do you know how
much business you're losing because you don't advertise?' It not only pays to
advertise it pays even more when you know where your advertising is supposed
to take you and why. Advertising is the handmaiden of merchandising ... It
always has been and always will be."
