CleanUp!
• Why is it im portent to prerent Ktter
and safeguard beauty? Litter is not
only a health and safety menace, but N
expensive to clean up. Some $500 mi-
lion in tax money is spent each year to
de-litter highways, city streets, parks,
beaches and other public areas according
to Keep America Beautiful, Inc.
Conversely, a clean well-kept com
munity generates citixen pride, indicates
stability and property values hold up.
Then what can the average person
do about it? A great deal. In fact, he
is the only one who can stop it because
he is largely responsible for it. Here
are some specific do’s and dont’s: Keep
a neat litter-free home and back yard.
Teach your children not to litter and
most important of ail set a good exam
ple by not littering yourself. A good
example will rub off on your children-
also on your neighbors.
Always carry a litterbag in your car
and be sure to use it. Encourage local
youth groups to sponsor anti-litter proj
ects.
Remember only people are litter-
bugs. And people's habits can be chang
ed.
state of their affairs and what govern
ment intends to do abotjtt, it. The cart has
somehow been hitched to the wrong end
of the horse and the wonder is that so
?ew people seem to notice the error.
It is time that the people decided
whether they really want to be cared
fbr as serfs on their own land. After
that is settled, they should make their
decision known to their elected officials
at the polls at every opportunity.
The Last School Bell
For millions of school children, the
time of respite from books, homework
and tests is almost at hand. Thoughts
of a summer job, the playground, a
camping trip, or a swim in the neigh
borhood pool are intruding more and
more on academic pursuits. Both the
young and the old need a time to refresh
their spirits, soak up what they have
learned and take a look at the course of
their life and work.
For many high school and college
students, the last school bell of this year
will mean graduation- and the greater
responsibility of putting to use what
they have learned in productive work in
their communities, their nation and
their families. The habit of learning is
the most valuable lesson they can carry
away from their days of formal educa
tion. The abiltiy to learn and adapt is
part of living in this fast changing
world. It is still true that knowledge
without action is futile, but it ia more
valid than ever before to observe that
action without knowledge is disaster.
The last school bell of the year
brings change. It brings the fun of
summer. May it bring also a time for
young people to gain new resolve to pur
sue the knowledge that awaits them in
"the school rooms to come and in all the
years of their lives that lie ahead.
ONE ANSWER!
Babson’s Point of View
On Future of Farming
By ROGER W. BABSON
Babson Park, Mass., May 5—Over the
past quarter-century, we have been watch
ing ciosely the revolutionary changes that
have taken place on the nation's farms. Ma
chines have been replacing men at an explos
ive rate, and now U. S. agriculture is a huge,
modern industry. It is, in fact, our largest
industry, providing income of $14 billion in
1965, a boost of $1 billion over 1964. We think
this farm income growth is going to con
tinue.
FEWER. BIGGER—AND RICHER
While the small, general purpose farms
have been.fading out, the streamlined type
of modern family operation has been moving
triumphantly ahead. Naturally, this kind of
farming takes plenty of outlay for mechani
zation. and far greater technical skill. But.
where the management is competent and
well informed, the profits more than make
up for the costs of machinery and the study
required to develop more advanced techni
cal know-how.
Over the past five years, net income per
farm has pushed upward 40 per cent to a new
all-time high of $4,190. Perhaps even more
significant is the fact that, in the same pe
riod. per capita income of farmers has ad
vanced 35 per cent while income; for the re-
maiijder of the population has risen only 20
ptr cent. Farm labor costs have, of course,
been drifting downward for years because
oi agricultural mechanization, and acreage
has been climbing steadily for the individual
farms These latter trends are bound to
continue.
STRONG SUPPORTS
There have been many related reasons
for the healthier demand for agricultural
products and for rising profits. The most
elementary but important cause is the enor
mously broader spending for foods of all
sorts, due to large increases in population,
soaring spendable income, and richer eating
habits. Exports of farm produce have been
on the upward path for a long while. Mar-,*
kets have been particularly well sustained in -

Horse Latitudes
A certain area of the Atlantic Ocean is noted
fer its long calms—periods in which there is-lit-
tle or no wind. The area is north of, and paral
lel to, the equator.
During Colonial American,, times, sailing
ships sometimes were stranded for extended per-
riods in this calm area. Some carried horses to
the West Indies. When one of the ships became
stranded, the fresh water supply rah low. and the
horses died of thirst.
The dead horses were dumped overboard,
and thus that area of the Atlantic became known
as the “horse latitudes.”

Who’s A Serf?
A couple of hundred years ago, the
first Spanish soldiers and missionaries
came to California. A scant hundred
years later, the first transcontinental
railroad Blast and West was joined to
gether near Ogden, Utah, and the Unit
ed States as one nation stretched from
„the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. This
in 1869 and since that event the
American people have accomplishe
what would have taken a thousand
years of history in a slower moving
time.
They were able to do this becain
they lived under a government restrain
ed by the Constitution from indulging
in political oppression or confiscating
for the uses of the “Crown” the prop
erty and income of the people.
“But the times seem to have changed

HARVESTS COULD BE
GREATLY INCREASED
In spite of the phasing out of great num
bers of marginal farms, the strong nucelus
of larger units that are left could dramati
cally step up agricultural production. Total
harvests during 1965 smashed all previous
records. Experts feel that even these highs
could be upped some 20 per cent in a couple
of years if federal acreage controls were
done away with. Some interested parties
are suggesting that 55 million idle crop
acres be replanted, especially in view of the
number of countries where starvation ac
tually threatens.
What would be the effect of sudden re
moval of acreage restrictions? Prices would
tend to fall unless demand could be kept in
line with outturn. Since world markets are
a strong part of the success key for Ameri
can farmers, exports would have to be main
tained—even increased—if price softening
were to be prevented. However, we feel
that—under present conditions and with this
dire world need—there may be dangers of
shortages, at least in some grains and other
basic farm products. Certainly, if under
developed customer-countries on a wide
scale could be brought up to the economic
level of Canada or Japan, our farmers could
whistle a happy tune for a long time.
