The 1948 corn goal was set at 90,-
700,000 acres. The department has
suggested 92.120,000. Last year the
crop dropped to 86.424.000 acres

ing to a major depression—is .6ver-

in 1948* 0 I ft
Outlook For 1948 1 **
I am dflten asked if the break in
stock and commodity prices is the
| beginning of such a toboggan slide.
' Even if the remarkable rate of ac-
! tivity registered in 1947 is not en-
I tirely duplicated this year, the av
erage decline should be small. In
fact, we expect a five percent decline
in 1948 business volume from the ex
tremely high 1947 volume.
Purchasing power will move along
at a very high level. I forecast that
the national income for 1948 will
about equal the $190 billions estimat
ed for 1947.. The individual tax
bill may be somewhat lower. There
fore, the general picture is one of
plentiful buying power. Farm in
comes may possibly suffer some loss
es, but should not fall more than 20 j»
percent below current levels which ^
are well above parity. «
Wholesale Commodity Prices
Whether 'the inflation spiral ib
wholesale commodity prices has yet &
fully run its course, remains to be $
seen. The recent drastic slump in the]|-j
i major commodity futures market :^
may well have marked the turning'j-j
j point; but it would be unwise to be
too inflexible on this score. A ser- ♦>
ious crop failure, plus a third round 8
of wage increases could result in
commodity prices again turning up
ward.

i ' Record domestic employment lev- ft

tinued large public purchasing pow- ft

Johnson Cited
For College Work
Dr. J. K. Roberts, of Danville, Va., 1
in a chaptel talk at the college last
week paid tribute to the Presbyterian
college director of athletics, Walter
A. Johnson: • ?
“Walter Johnson’s name is synony
mous with all that is good and clean
and honest. Wherever the name of
Presbyterian college is mentioned,
people' think of this great,, man.'8
Coach, we hope you live to be 100 ; ft
years old, and when you ..have gone, ] 8
I hope that we will pla£e a large por- i %
trait of you in the gymnasium as a' g
reminder^to those of us who may be i ft
tottering around* that the noble spirit |-
of a%i^-eat man is still'With us.”
So sincere was the speaker in this
tribute to Johnson, that the audience
of students and faculty members ap-.
plauded with dignity and a feeling
closely akin to reverence,, The Blue
Stocking reported.
