But anybody who's ever run a farm or a factory knows that if you don't plan, you can't get the most out of what you have to work with. To plan properly, the farmer has to know about crops, soils, seasons, tools, and stock; and the man operating a factory has to know about machines, markets, science, and engineering. Yet for all this specialized knowledge which each of these activities requires, the managers of both farm and factory have much in common in their planning. They have the same problems to mention a few of em ployment and taxes, of costs and a fair profit, of setting aside reserves for a "rainy day." And they have the same objective in their planning to do everything they 'can for their country today, and, tomorrow, to make a fair living through greater service to their fellow Americans.
