Ford on Technocracy
TTTHIIiE we are not much of an admirer of the philosophy
of Henry Ford, his optimism is in cheerful contrast with
the prevailing blues of most of our captains of industry, Mr.
Ford in a copyrighted interview in the New York Times de
clares that these are not bad times but good ones, and that
we are on the threshold of an inconceivably bright future. The
development of machines he predicts will bring the bright new
era. Of technocracy he says :
Mr. Ford is probably more responsible than any one else
for the evils engendered by the machine age, for he it was who
perfected mass production and put people on wheels and so
accelerated life. He has done his best to standardize humanity
into robots. Yet he sees a bright future and declares that "the
machine age is barely started. In the real machine age which
is to come the dirt and ugliness of confusion and noise and dis
regard of human rights which are all about us today will be
done away with. This is only the ox cart stage of the machine
age. I wish I might live to see the real thing when it comes. "
He declares)
Technocracy seems to me misnamed. X see little evidence of
technical experience in it. Its diagnosis of present conditions
are permanent, when It forgets the fluid and progressive elem
ents in life, It simply goes on the rocks. life has a funny way of
pushing out where we least expect It. It breaks up aU our
diagrams. AU that has happened now, as I see It, Is that life
has broken out. We had thought it nicely stabilized In certain
financial and industrial patterns. People say something has
broken down. I say that life has simply broken out. It always
does. There will never be a technocracy In the sense of a ruling
mechanical oligarchy, because life will not stand for it.
This period that we are going through right now is the re
covery. The bad times were back In 1920 and before. That was
the real panic that so-called prosperous period. Business, at
bottom, never was so bad as It was In what ws called boom
times. The managers were off the Job. People weren't really
working or really thinking. Now they are. We are seeing cow
the passing of an old era and the beginning of a new one
better tba anything the world has known before.

Cost of Pear Production

Yield Through Irrigation
Study by Aldrich Shows Valley Costs
Too High in Comparison With
Other Producing Regions
Ed. Note: The following discussion of pear Irrigation studies In the
Interests of lowering production cunts
U. 8. department of agriculture at the
Growers league:
CHAPTER I.
In the previous talk Mr. Work ex.
plained (1) that only part of the
moisture In the soil is available to
the pear tree; and (2) that up to SO
per oent of the maximum available
moisture. Increasing the available
soil moisture has resulted In lncreas
ed tree responses. I shall discuss
some of the pear tree responses to
increases In available soil moisture,
and shall point out the value ot In
creased soil moisture in relation to
profitable pear growing.
At present, pear growing la oor
talnly not profitable. To make it
profitable growers must obtain not
only working capital and markets tor
their fruit, but alu must reduce the
existing cost of producing the fruit.
If production costs can be reduced,
profits can be obtained at market
prices hitherto unprofitable, xne
world over, manufacturers strive "O
reduce production costs, to enable
them to meet the prices of competi
tors and still make a profit. Similar
ly, the pear growers of this valley
are faced with the problem of cutting

down their operating costs so they
can compete with the other pear dis

Although we should always strive o
Increase our market prices by better
harvesting, storage and advertising
methods, we must also learn to pro
duce our pears more cheaply than
we have In the past.
Our present cost of production
seems to be higher than that for
competing sections. From published
surveys, giving average yield per acre
and average cost of production. I have
taken the following figures and esti
mated the cost of producing a box
of pears for this and tor competing
sections. I realise these averages
may be misleading, but the figures
strongly suggest that this valley has
the lowest yield per acre and that lis
production coats per box are much
higher than those for Wenatchee,

harvesting costs) Medford pear grow
ers can reduce their cost of produc
tion per box It they can Increase their
yield per acre.
Our recent experimental work Is
showing that the proper use of irri
gation can greatly Increase the yield
per acre.
Yield can be Increased In two ways:
(1) Increasing sire of fruit, and (2)
increasing the number ot fruits per
tree. Our experimental work has al
ready shown that Irrigation can be
used to lnerease the size of the fruit.
During the past summer, while Mr.
Work was studying the effeot of dif
ferent irrigation treatments upon
available soil moisture, I obtained
records of fruit growth. From 4o to
00 fruits per plot were measured at
semi-weekly or weekly Intervals from
May until harvest. Spring rains
maintained the soil moisture fairly
high until early June, but after the
middle of June, when distinct differ
ences in soil moisture appeared In
the different plots, differences in
fruit growth were observed. From

that soil moisture remained highest
In the plot Irrigated frequently all

crease In fruit sire was the greatest
in the most frequently Irrigated plot,
and leas in the plot irrigated only

season ths soil moisture decreased
during August, and likewise the rate
of fruit growth decreased during Au
gust. Thus, our experiments have
shown that In clay abode soil, when
the available soli moisture Is Increas

growth to Irrigation has been care
fully proven, and Is an established
fact. Whether or not you can utlllre
this discovery is a matter for each
grower to decide tor his particular
orchard conditions.

New York landlords have some
thing new to worry about. An organ
ization of legal talent has been
formed for the avowed purpose of
advising tenants how to get out of

tenants. Real estate people are froth

about It.
Don't be surprised If William H.
Woodin head of American Car and
Foundry turns up In Atlee Pome
rene'a Job as chairman of R. P. C.
It is in the cards.
Woodin has been quietly playing
around In politics for some time. He
was on friendly terms with the Hy
lan and Walker lammany adminis
trations and had something to say
about where the city's money was de
posited. Also he has worked closely
with Baruch and Raskob.
It ts said that Woodin prefers a
cabinet Job but his close connections
with Wall Street hardly make him a
suitable candidate. His claim for at
tention Is based on financial services

Gentlemen at the transom report
that when Mr. Roosevelt strolled
Into the Hoover conference, he said:
"Well, I see we did a good Job on
Japan."
He was referring apparently to the
action taken the FOLLOWING day
by the League of Nations. That waa
when the committee of nineteen de
cided to proceed with the Manchur
lan matter over Japanese protest.
Those In highest authority here are
known to have been advised of the
league step at least 34 hours before
It was taken. There are other indi
cations they may have been a party
to It,
The league stacked th? sub-committee
named to handle the situa
tion. The authorities here were quite
satisfied.
Nevertheless, down underneath,
they all know the league will do
nothing outstanding. The purpose
was to frighten Japan out of her
military campaign Into southern
China. All the powers were advised
confidentially that waa the objective
of the Jehol actlvttlea.
It will work out fine If Japan Is
frightened. But if she calls the bluff
om sanctions there may be trouble.
The league has no army to try driv
ing the Japs out of Asia. The other
nations think too much of their
armies to use them for that purpose
in these days. The United States
would never be a party to the use of
such forceful measures.
In the end, neither wlU the league.

Your Income Tax
A series of dally articles based on
revenue act of 1032 and designed
to aid those required to file In
come tax returns for year 1033
Personal Exemptions.
In addition to the personal ex
emption of $1000 for single persons
and $2500 for married persons living
together and for heads of families,
a taxpayer is entitled to a credit of
$400 for each dependent, defined by
Income tax law and regulations as a
person under 18 years of age or In
capable of self-support because men
tally or physically defective. The term
"mentally or physically defective'
means not only cripples and those
mentally defective, but persons In 111
health and the aged.
In order to be entitled to the $400
credit, the taxpayer must furnish the
dependent his or her chief support.
Tho credit Is based upon actual finan
cial dependency and not mere legal
dependency. For example, a father
whose children receive half or more
of their support from a trust fund
or other separate source Is not en
titled to the credit.
Neither relationship nor residence
are factors In the allowance of the
$400 credit for a dependent. The tax
payer and the dependent may be resi
dents of different cities. If husband
and wife both contribute to the sup
port of a dependent, the $400 credit
may be taken by the one contribut
ing the chief support, and may not
be divided between them.
A single person who supports In
his home an aged mother Is entitled
not only to the $400 credit for a de
pendent, but also to the personal ex
emption of $2500 as the head of a
family. A widower supporting under
similar circumstances a dependent
child under 18 years of age also la
entitled to the personal exemption
of $2600 as the head of a family, plus
the $400 credit for a dependent.
Under the revenue act of 1932, both
the personal exemption and the credit
for dependents are required to be
pro-rated where the status of the tax
payer changed during the year.
