The Mas‘er of the -National
Grange warned oui - President that, |
unless we redevelop the grasslands
of the great West, we will have an-
other “dust bowl” There
have been such warnings, for seme
time and not much has been dene |
to protect the vast acres against the
devastation of a severe dust storm.
The cause of the present danger is
mainly due to the high prices and
demand for wheat. The farmer did
not want to maintain pastures when
he could turn ‘o the handsome prof-
it in grain. Memory isn't so short

TOMATOES AT STAKE
Champions of technique lead with
their

are divided opinions on the proper
way of treating the plants. One
school of thought is to let the vines
ge as they will, ano‘her
pruning to a single stalk and stalk-
ing.. a third to allowing the vine to |
seek a wav over a frame. The easi-
let the vines wander on
but this is also the easi-
est way of not having tomatoes.
These for pruining and staking in-
bas a superior rich-
ness in flavor, is better formed. One
thing no grower of tomatces can de-

DIMINISHING MARGIN
The retail stores of the United
States are constantly operating more
| efficiently—and are constantly fight-
ing the expense preblem in order to
hold down prices to encourage trade.
And their unit sales profits have
been decreasing.
That is the gist of a report by
Professor Malcom McNair,
Harvard Graduate
ness. He analyzed the expenses and
profits of 328 like firms for the
years 1947 and 1946. and found that
their net profits before Federal in-
come taxes dropped 2.4 per cent.
Futhermore, his report said, in re-
[cent years all stores reporting to
[Harvard had shown a net profit—but
fin 1947 a number of stores earned
no profit at all,
