This has been the case for weeks and we, predict a continu- ance for some When they get nearer normal, supply and demand will regulate, This is as it should be. One of the biggest drops in food came immediately following Christ- mas when butter dropped ten cents per pound. The price of eggs also dropped sharply. ® eo 0 CAREFUL WITH THE COOKIES Extension eof canning sugar stamps was a relief to houscholds, but we had hoped that by this time there would be a greater supply on hand. Cane sugar shipped from Cuba is in smaller quantity this year than last. Sugar sent to Europe dips into eur supply. With an in- crease in the country’s population the domestic sugar allotment ef a : half-million tons more will have to ¢ go farther. The whole world’s sugar i production for this year is the least jf has been in 25 years. Prospects or next year point to an increase but it is reported to be so small hat the housewife will still have o watch in ‘her baking, table use nd canning. 1 ® ® 0 PLEASE, NOT THAT!

Soil is not like natural resources. Land that is fer- bad we can’t dig deeper as surface soil becomes poor, and strike washed away it is gone and it takes gener:tions to replace its richness. Replacirg topsoil restores the land's security, and it that we should lose our source of ford because of ignorance or neglect of it. In the earlier days when the pepulation was not so great, farmers didn’t think it so necessary to protect the soil. Today having little undiscovered product- ive land, we must maintain that which we till. All types of mech- anized equipment as cotton pick- ers, combines, corn-pickers, milk- ing machines, tractors, increase production but without fertile soil the equipment is of litle use. We know of the help of the Soil Conservation Department, of the splendid work «of the agents in districts through-cut . the country. Information is available to any one through this agency and al agri- culturists shold take advantage of their service. oo 0 REGISTER A PROTEST To reise the standard of radio programs it is up to the radio lis- teners ic demand better ones. The daytime schedules of soap operas. me following another with little difference in content, brings com- plaint frem those who would like better balanced radio diet. such programs are the least ex- pensive network shows, the weekly cost of an ordinary soap opera is said to be less foy five fifteen-min- ute periods than some advertisers spend on one “spot” announcement, The advertiser uses this means to sell his product and if such attracts more listeners who than those who seek grams, you will get soap operas. We cite this type of program but there are other kinds of broadcasts that show a profit to the advert- iser but none to the listener. Since better pro- air channels and the public owns | those channels. Profits from radio | are therefore large. The public | spends $25 for receiving equipment | for every $1 the broadcasters spend | for transmitting equipment. We pay 83 to every $2 the advertiser spends | to keep the program going and we | buy the advertiser's preducts be- | sides. Citizens should get their | money’s worth. In some areas com- | mittees of radio listeners work | through the local station to raise the standard of programs. The Fed- eral Communications Commission determines whether a station's ap- plication for broadcasting can go through. The public has the power to ask this board for satisfaction before they renew the station’s contract. This encourages better radio programs and will add more interested listeners to the com- mercials.
