Babson Discusses Eating Costs
New York City, April 2. — .The
taking off of price controls has
caused some prices to advance; but
most prices have remained constant
or have decreased. I am convinced
that free competition, which now is
being tried, will ul
timately reduce the
cost of foods.
Be Patient
There will be a
lag between the
wholesale price
drop and the retail
prices. In Florida
I own a cattle
ranch. Steers which
_ ^ sold on the hoof at
Bogtr W. Bab— 30 cents a pound
two years ago now sell for ten cents.
Cows which then sold at $200 can be
bought for $60.
Readers wonder ^hy the retail
price of beef is still high. The an
swer is that the beef now in the
stores for sale was purchased by
the packers at high prices. We must
wait until this high-priced beef is
eaten before the retail price will
drop further. This may take four to
six months. The same principle ap
plies to many foods.
Advice About Home Freezers
Deep freezers are good for the
home and good for the nation as a
whole. These, however, should be
filled intelligently. To get the most
from buying in quantity, the fam
ily should give real study to seasons,
crop reports, and other factors. The

for better pastures
Armour's High Analysis is ideal for
improving pastures. Pastures grow
greener and thicker, make more nutri
tious grass, clover or hay. You save on
dry feeds, beef cattle gain weight faster-
and cows give more milk. For greener
pastures more months out of the year,
order Armour's High Analysis.

****•.,. .... ^
first verse of the third chapter of the
Bible Book of Ecclesiastes gives good
advic^e to those who buy food for
storing.
We should buy in quantity when
beef, fruit, vegetables, etc., are cheap
but we should also consider quality
as well as price. It is wise perhaps
to buy some meats now; but wait
before storing beef.
Political Aspects
While such lower food prices please
city dwellers, falling prices cause
much grief to millions of rural fam
ilies. Cattlemen are now taking big
losses. City folks laugh, about the
dairy mess and similar mistakes, but
they all have a sad human side of
grief,, loss and disappointment. Let
us be sympathetic with all unfor-
tunate rural people. *
President Eisenhower is getting
thousands of letters every day from
honest, hard-working farmers who
are being “ruined.” This probably
accounts for his urging Secretary
Benson to “go slowly.” Otherwise,
he may fear that the Republicans
will lose control of Congress in 1954.
Customs which have existed for
twenty years cannot be corrected
quickly. The same principle involves
tariff changes.
Radio Market News
Radio news of wholesale farm
prices is good for the farmers, fruit
growers and others; but such news
does not help the housewife much.
Hense, newspapers could help con
sumers to interpret properly the val
uable food advertisements in their
papers by reporting weekly the
amount of fresh, canned and frozen
food products on the market.
Every housewife should carefully
read all advertisements, especially
the ads on the reliable super-mark
ets. How to study local advertise
ments is a work which Women’s
Clubs could take up.
Farmers Need Self-Control
Don’t blame salesmen of fertili
zers, seeds, farm machinery, and
real e$taite for urging farmers to pro
duce more. Yet, the fact that some
farmers have not the good sense and
self-control to properly weigh such
sales . talks is one reason for their
troubles today. It might be a good
idea this year to devote the State
Agricultural Fairs to teaching farm
ers some simple economic truths.
Neither farmers nor consumers can
depend upon most politicians for
honest advice. Tj^is applies especial
ly to the promoters of certain un
needed irrigation projects. Farmers
could get into the same box in 1954
that Wall Street speculators got into
in 1929, because every farmer is
forced to speculate on weather and
other unpredictable factors. Another
thought:'Buy - thiTigs“from your locai-
stores and, if possible, buy home
made products. If farm organiza
tions would teach sane economics,
there nneed be no more “Butter
Scandals” and the entire dairy in
dustry would ultimately benefit.

ANNOUNCES NEW
LOWER PRICES!
Now! Greater Value Than Ever
Substantial Reductions on All ’53 Models!
Effective immediately, the retail prices of all 1953 Plymouth cars arc
substantially reduced, bringing you the greatest Plymouth value in his
tory!
When the 1953 Plymouths were introduced last fall, even though com
pletely new and advanced in design, they were priced on a “hold-the-
line” basis. We emphasized then our constant aim of quality, perform
ance, safety and comfort, at decreased rather than increased prices. And
we pinned our faith on volume to achieve this objective.
The removal of production controls has made it possible to produce Ply
mouth cars at the highest rate in many months. Now that higher volume
is being achieved and we may reasonably expect it to continue, we are
lowering prices accordingly.
Price reduction apply to the entire Plymouth line ... all nine body types.
We will be glad to give you complete details about the new prices.
Plymouth, long famous for greater value, continues to bring you the qual
ity features of high-priced cars . . . now at even lower ct»st to you!
