FARM BUSINESS COOPERATE
Regional business men, farmers
and static department executives
here at the capital this week heard
Delos E. James, manager of the
agricultural divison of the United
States chamber of commerce,
stress the vital necessity of close
cooperation between local business
men and agricultural groups. Dur
ing the next two . years, James
pointed out, our farm production
will find an adequate market, do
mestic and foreign. After that,
equipped with American machinery
and supervision, foreign producers
will supply their own markets and
start exportation into this country.
Farmers are industry"s best cus
tomer, purchasing between six and
eight billion in industrial products
yearly. If the farmer's purchasing
power can be sustained they will
modernize home, farm and farm
methods. If it cannot be maintained
and farm income declines from an
estimated all-time high of 23 bil
lion in 1944 to the record low of
6V2 billion in 1932, industrial pro
ducers and consumers will suffer
more acutely than they did during
the depression.

plan, with hospitalization and sur
eical coverage for state workers
and their families and a group life
insurance plan for the employees

Have Your Dollar Ready
The annual Red Cross membership drive is on
and Morrow county is down for $2,000. That is not
a big sum compared with some of the other fund
drives of recent years, yet unless every family is
represented by one or more memberships it will
not be easy to raise the quota.
Bear in mind that the people who solicit you
are your neighbors volunteers to do a not alto
gether pleasant job but prompted by a patriotic
urge to see that those dependent on us are not let
down. Your dollar will go towards maintaining
hospital care for veterans at home and abroad,
for maintaining services created by the war and
for which the Red Cross is responsible as long as
they are deemd necessary.
Voluntary, contributions wilt be gratefully re
ceived amounts considerably in excess of the
regular membership fee. But above all, remember
that the "Lord loveth a cheerful giver" and don't
do your bit grudgingly.

It might as well be spring from the cheery
bird songs heard this morning. Maybe they were
snow birds, though.
