In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
There are two interesting
tales in the news his morn
ing. They are curiously inter
related. Here is Tale No. 1:
The department of agricul
ture said American farmers
are producing the largest crop
in history this year. Overall
crop production will be up
.seven per cent from last year.
Cotton is up six per cent over
1957. Soybeans will hit all
time new highs. All wheat
and barley crops are of rec
ord size. Corn and hay crops
are expected to be at least the
second largest in history.
Oats, potatoes and sugar crops
(beet, cane, etc.) are far above
averaged
And
All this is being done on
THE SMALLEST ACREAGE
IN 40 YEARS.
ILL that should be good
news.
But IS IT?
fNE WONDERS.
" ' All over America the
warehouses are bulging with
carried-over surpluses from
former years. These surpluses
hang over the agricultural
markets like a dark thunder
cloud. Inevitably, this ques
tion arises:
What will an all-time rec
ord crop do to PRICES?
That remains to be seen.
Nobody knows.
HERE is tale No. 2:
The senate has given final
congressional approval to a
compromise four-year exten
sion to the nation's RECIPRO
CAL TRADE bill. The meas
ure gives President Eisenhow
er most of the tariff-cutting
power he has asked for.
, It is assumed that he will
sign the bill into law.
I1THY is that related to our
' record-breaking crop of
this year?
It's like this:
' American farmers have
demonstrated that they are
the most efficient producers
of food in the world. Over
the world as a whole, there
isn't food enough to go
around. Millions of people are
hungry.
Consider this fact:
If American farmers who
this year will produce the big
gest crop in history on the
smallest acreage in history
could dispose of their surplus
to the peoples who are hung
ry, everything would be rosy.
THAT can come about only
by means of TRADE.
Trade is a two-way street.
Before people elsewhere can
buy the food we are able to
produce in such abundance,
they must be able to sell to us
the things they produce in
abundance.
If we are to sell, we must
also buy.
That is the first law of
commerce.
Plans Being Made
For B-E Day Here
Plans are being made for
business education day in
Medford Sept. 11, according
to Don McNeil, Jackson Coun
ty Chamber of Commerce
manager.
On that day, Medford school
teachers will be invited to
visit firms assigned them.
Firm executives will discuss
with them every day business
problems.
Subjects for discussion may
include employment and train
ing procedures, selling, busi
ness problems, and contribu
tion to community, the cham
ber manager said.
The latter subject would
