1028 Feeding Tests to Help Your Chicks
Grow Faster |
All through 1950, Purina Research worked to make the
1951 Purina Chick Startena the best ever. It took 1028
separate feeding tests to find the
right combination of APF, Vitamin
B-12 Supplement... Antibiotics . . .
and Growth Vitamins. That's why
the new growth boost added to 1951
Startena is called “Formula 1028.”

“Are you going to believe me, who’s been here 10 years,
or a time clock that’s been here a week!”
By Roger W. Babson
There is no more certain way
of wrecking our economy and our
democracy than by allowing the
value of our dollar to continue to
decline. Many are finding it ex-
tremely difficult today to make
ends meet with a fifty-seven cent
dollar in this most prosperous era
America has ever known.
, Inflation Marches On
In 1940, a friend of mine got
an air mail letter from Greece.
The amount of postage on the
envelope was 30 drachmas, or
about sixty-five cents. Just the
other day, he received an air mail
letter of the same weight from
Athens. He counted the postage—
9700 drachmas—323 times as
much as it took in 1940! How
would you like to hold life insur-
ance policies in an Athenian com-
pany, or to have bought Greek
Government bonds in 1940? Both
are being paid as they become
due; but in almost worthless
money.
It can’t happen here? It al-
ready has happened. By the time
you get around to cash your 1953
Series E Bonds which you bought
in 1943, you will have lost an
appreciable amount of money in
terms of what your dollars can buy.
It already takes twice as many
dollars as in 1940 to buy the aver-
age car. Food costs are up over
100%; clothing costs by about 95
per cent; and rent costs by about
20%. Almost anything you can
name ‘has spiralled since Korea.
The Air Force alone reports that
the decline in the dollar has eaten
out of its budget seven hundred
and fifty jet fighters.
Causes of Dollar Decline
Management blames the decline
of the dollar on wage raises. The
wage earner blames management
for price hiking in a seller's
market. Both groups are at fault.
But the real difficulty lies with
the fact that the production of
goods is not keeping up with the
demand. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics reveals an average hourly
pay rise in the manufacturing in-
dustries from a low of $1.00 in
1946 to $1.50 in 1950, or 50
per cent. During the same time,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics’
Consumer Index rose 36.9%. This
meant an average hourly increase
of around 10% in actual purchas-
ing power of workers.
From 1946 to 1950, corporate
profits rose, before taxes, from 23.6
billion to around 37 billion in 1950,
or an approximate 57% increase.
After paying taxes, however, 1946
corporate gains were 13.6 billion,
and rose to 21.5 billion in 1950,
and compare fairly well with the
increase in wages and prices. This
is a good illustration of the law of
supply and demand—action and re-
action—which ultimately takes
care of unbalances. The desire of
all of us for more play and less
work is the real cause of our de-

Why Inflation Marches On
clining dollar. The Korean war
simply brought our precarious
economic status into sharper focus.
More Controls Coming
I hate the idea of more govern-
ment in business. I always will
be vigorously opposed to unneces-
sary government controls. We can
no more control inflation wvolun-
tarily with our present Government
in a wartime economy than we can
raise a ten million man army vol-
untarily. It is, therefore, with
reluctance that I have come to the
conclusion that the only cure for
inflation is through stringent regi-
mentation of our economy—but
only for as long as war lasts.
This means stiff taxes and a big
reduction of all expenditures not
required by the war preparations,
in order to put the war on a pay-
as-you-go basis. It means prices,
wages, and profits must be con-
trolled. It means an end to all
subsidies to farmers, laborers, and
businessmen. It means unloading
the billions of dollars of farm in-
ventories now stockpiled by the
Government. It means a drastic
reduction in the heavily overloaded
executive branch of the Govern-
ment. It means all-out mobiliza-
tion, not a piecemeal mobilization
which encourages inflation. Unless
we immediately take these drastic
steps, unpleasant as they may be,
our dollar may become worth only
twenty-five cents.

“WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR TEAM?"
“WE REPLACED 'EM WITH A
MASSEY-HARRIS PONY."

® . .. and it didn't take much convincing when my Massey-Harris Dealer
showed me the different jobs I can do with the Pony. Not only that, but I'm plon-
ning on putting a couple of cows on the pasture that kept my team. You know,
I never realized what a genuine pleasure farming with a tractor is as compared
to farming with a team. The best part of it is my Pony has the power, weight,
traction and tools to handle every 1l-plow job on the place. And I do my work
in less time too. Believe me, I'm sure glad I asked for a demonstration right here
on my own farm. If I were you, I'd look into the Pony way of farming—it can't be
beat in the 1-plow class.”
