With GEORGE A. and
EDITH ANN BURKE
GOODMAN ACE who with his
wife Jane formed one of the most
popular and entertaining teams in
network radio, the: “Easy Aces” is
essentially a writer. Not only does
he write his own material but wrote
for Tallulah Bankhead’s “Big Show’
on radio, and this current season
has been chief writer on the Milton
Berle TV Show.
Ace was born in Kansas City, Mo.,
January 15, 1899. He became a re-
porter on the Kansas City Post, after
studying journalism at Kansas City
Junior College. Later promoted to
drama and movie reviewer, he alter-
nately infuriated and delighted his
publisher with his barbed, witty
criticisms,
In 1927, he married Jane Sher-
wood, a high school sweetheart. The
following year, to supplement his
newspaper income, he inaugurated a
15-minute weekly radio show, at
$10 per show. He read comics and
broadcast part of his column, at-
tempting to be informative and in-
formal.
“Easy Aces” evolved one day
when the performers on the follow-
ing quarter-hour program failed to
arrive at the station. Signalled to
continue talking, Ace called in Jane,
who was waiting outside and they
ad-libbed a conversation about the
bridge game they had played the
night before.
So favorable was listener response
that the Aces were soon being
heard three ‘times a week and on
their way to a network showing.
The Aces live in a midtown New
York apartment. Goodman, in addi-
tion, to turning out high-priced
comedy scripts, keeps his hand in
as columnist by reviewing radio and
television for the Saturday Review.
Jane collects records and is an avid
baseball fan. They're planning a
TV version of the Aces so, soon, we
may be getting new Jane-isms such
as ‘“She’s putting on the rich” and
“Familiarity breeds attempt.”
THE KENTUCKY DERBY turf-
doom’s greatest race of the season
will be on (CBS-TV this Saturday
from 5:15 to 5:45 p.m. The Derby,
the most colorful jewel in racing’s
famous Triple Crown (the others
are the Preakness and Belmont) will
be shown directly from Churchill
Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. Race
caller will be veteran turf broad-
caster, Fred Capossela, while Win
Elliott, popular emcee and sports-
caster will handle the “color.” Sorry,
we can’t “Tout” you on to the
winner. We'll be just watching, not
betting, and interesting watching it
should be.
MAMA, ‘the series which topped
family popularity polls since its be-
ginning in 1949, will receive the
first tribute ever paid a TV show by
the American Mothers Committee.
The group which annually designates
the Mother of the Year will give the
award to ‘Mama’ tonight, at the
organization’s 20th Annual Awards
Luncheon because of what they
term “its constructive portrayal of
of highest standards of love of God,
sanctity of the home and personal
sacrifice.”
NELSON EDDY and Gale Sher-
wood are the stars in Sigmund Rom-
berg’s wonderful operetta “The
Desert Song,” this [Saturday 9:00
to 10:30 p.m. on NBC. It should be
enjoyable to hear Nelson sing such
favorites as ‘Desert Song,” “One
Alone,” “Sabre Song” and “Ro-
mance.” We wish, of course, that he
could be teamed with his long-time
movie partner, Jeanette MacDonald,
but it should make fine viewing and
listening, nevertheless.

Babson Park, Mass.—The small,
non-progressive farmer is gradually
being forced out of business. The
trend is toward large mechanized
farms. I forecast that this trend will
continue. The stubborn farmer simp-
ly cannot compete, over the long
term, with the low-cost mass-pro-
duction methods of the modern
mechanized farm. He has not suf-
ficient land and will not buy the
necessary equipment.
Small Farmers Hit Hardest
Farm income has
average about 8 per cent since
1951. This decline has been felt
by all farmens, but particularly by
the smaller operators whose costs
are high. Some have had to close
up shop. Those in the Dust Bowl
area were dealt another severe blow
recently when Federal Crop Insur-
ance was discontinued in certain
sections. Withdrawal of this insur-
ance will be felt especially by the
small marginal farmer. Banks which
heretofore have been willing to
make loans to marginal farmers
with crop insurance protection are
now neither willing nor able to risk
their depositors’ funds. Someday it
may be possible to predict and con-
trol the weather. This should be a
great help to the farmer, but would
apply only to production, not to de-
mand. \
Government acreage control has
helped the small farmer compete
against his bigger brother to the ex-
tent that the large mechanized
operator has been forced to restrict
his output. This, however, is only a
stopgap measure and is unfair to
the mass-production farmer because
he cannot make full use of his
facilities. This reduces his efficiency
and ups his costs. Someday mechan-
ized farmers will revolt against this
artificial restriction in much the
same manner as the discount hous-
es are currently overthrowing the
Fair Trade laws.
Push-button Farming
Although the day of wholly-mech-
anized farms is still in the distant
future, some amazing devices have
been developed and are now in use.
The farmer can now push a button
to grind, mix, and serve feed to a
barnful of cows. Pushing another
button changes the feed formula and
the machine serves the hogs; push-
ing a third button prepares and
serves feed to the chickens. Talk
about the big-city automatic res-
taurants! Those who have done
chores on a farm will readily ap-
preciate the time and back-breaking
labor these machines save. I fore-

cast that women will supersede men
in running certain farms.
Another valuable machine is the
hay and grain dryer, which roughly
corresponds to the ‘ housewife’s
clothes dryer. The dryer makes the
farmer less dependent on the weath-
er and lets him harvest at his con-
venience. It reduces spoilage and
gives him more value from his crop.
In addition, there are machines for
planting, spraying and harvesting,
plus countless practical gadgets that
efficient.
What Farmers’ Sons Should Do
I forecast the future is bright for
farmers who have well-located farms
and will adopt the new equipment,
and for the makers of this new farm
equipment; but I fear the days of
many stubborn, small marginal
farmers are numbered. Fortunately,
the impact of mechanization will be
gradual, but this is a problem which
should be recognized and planned
for now by the farmer and his chil-
dren. Government should get to-
gether with industry and try ‘to
make this transition as easy as pos-
sible. Farm workers especially
should face up to the situation
realistically.
In industry, the man who finds
work in his own line diminishing,
turns to another type of business.
He frequently does much better in
the new endeavor. In this connec-
tion, many small farmers and farm
workers have nothing to lose. Most
farm people have character, cour-
age and good health. They often
have the advantage of being handy
with tools. In planning and running
their farms they have had valuable
administrative and supervisory ex-
perience. What does this all mean?
To me it means that one of the
farmer’s sons or daughters might
do well to adopt the new conditions
and remain with the farm; but the
“hired men” with ambition had bet-
ter get jobs elsewhere. Employers
may well use the “Help Wanted”
ads in farm areas as job opportuni-
ties arise.
