FARM PRICES
This is a subject we approach
with a good deal of doubt and un
certainty
For many years, farmers have
been encouraged
to think that
they do not get
a large enough
share of the
country s in
come -that they
do not K e t
enough of the
money the con
sumer pays for
the products of
KyeS
agriculture
There is » lot of truth in that
statement
It is recognized in
Washington and the senators and
representative» of farming states
have constantly talked and worked
to get higher prices for everything
.the farmer raises
Perhaps one of the things many
of us have overlooked in thinking
about the economics of this farm
price situation is ’hat no price evci
stands by itself The price of any
one commodity is related to the
4>nce of every other commodity
That must be true just as long as
all of us are independent, not onh
upon what we produce ourselvei
but upon what others produce
The price paid to the produce
should yield enough to cover th.
total cost of production, plus
profit That profit is the thing w
are working for but it cannot I
measured entirely by dollars ai
cents The real value of t)
profit anybody earns is purchasir
power
We have established money as
convenient measure of value, t
we -an’ afford to fool oursd
about the value of money itself
is actually worth only what it
buy

Lamb Pelts With
Short Wool Needed
America’s air force is appealing
to sheep raisers of the country to
time the shearing of their spring
lambs and yearlings so that the
pelts at slaughtering time will
have just the right amount of
wool needed for manufacturing
warm flying suits for the airmen,
says Dean William A. Schoenfeld
of Oregon State college.
"This may sound like a peculiar
request, but it is made in dead
earnest, according to information
received at my offile,” said Dean
Schoenfeld. “It seems that wool
on skins used in manufacturing
flying suits must be between one-
fourth inch and one inch in length.
If wool is more than an inch long
at slaughtering time, it is both
difficult and expensive to trim the
wool to the required length after
th» palt is removed
