'Cool damp and cloudy weather
make ideal conditions for cotton
insects. 7 The recent cold snap link
ed with damp cloudy days might
cost the cotton farmer in both
time and. money. These few days
will allow a buildup of cotton in
sects. Most of the cotton in the
county has reached the 8 leaf
stage and most of it needs dusting
or spraying.
Many of the cotton farmers have
already put down an application of
nitrogen and the cotton is respond
ing nicely.
It seems that taking the county
at large we have a better, more
uniform stand of cotton than last
year even with the unfavorable
conditions. With the proper use
of recommended insecticides we
should expect one of the largest
cotton yields.
Small Grain
About all the oats and barley
have been cut and as the wheat
ripens it too is being combined.
Proper storage should be of
great concern to all of us. Keep
it so it will not be exposed to
weather, leaks, blowing rain, and
bins that are pushing out at the
sides or bottom.
Small grain is a favorite food
for rats and mice. They spoil
countless bushels each year in this 1
county alone. By tightening up on I
our grainerys and old buildings
where grain is stored will help a
lot. By the way, small grain is
heavy when it is poured out loose
we are deceived as to the weight
we try to put in our old building.
I’he sides spread and the bottom
drops—additional losses.
Insects can be controlled early
and inexpensively. By cleaning the
bins and spraying with recom
mended insecticides —- Malathion
gives good control, and applying
the premium grade of Malathion
directly to the grain at the rate of
60 'pounds of 1% dust for each
1000 bushels as grain is being
loaded or turned into final stor
age. A spray of 1 pint of premium
grade Malathion 57% emulsified
liquid in 2-5 gallons of water to
each 1000 bushels of the grain.
This treatment protects against
insects and is long lasting, does
not affect germination and does
not., affect the milling properties
;when treated with recommended
amounts of Malathion. ~ ~

Now that the Federal Trade
Commission is no longer head
ed by Earl Kintner who made
such splashy headlines unearth
ing who gave disc jockeys $10
neckties for Christmas, it would
appear the FTC is getting down
to serious business.
* * *
The FTC Is now questioning
some 213
department

the nation on
the a c c e P‘
tance of al
lowances of
discounts,
usually made
under the
guise of pn
motion or ad-1

ers. Under the law. It Is Illegal
te accept any special allow
ances net made avaffal^e te all.
_ - * •
This could be 8M>;
of something trig,- wh&h if
carried on & the food' field,
could point toward . th£ end of
the chain system of huge food
super markets in favor of re
turning a greater share of gro
cery volume to independents.
SCO
At a recent meeting of the
Super Market Institute, the di
rector of research released
some very challenging facts,
shewing all Is not well In the
so-called “modern method** of
food retailing.
• os
As a matter of fact, he es
tablished some points which a
special sub committee of the
Senate Small Business Com
mittee, headed by Sen. Hubert
Humphrey had long been try
ing to get the FTC to unearth.
* * *
The report to the Super Mar
ket Institute stated flatly that
of the super markets opened in
Fedgration of Indepfindnt Boptaggi
I960, two out of three are doing
less volume than anticipated
* * *
The report further shows that
sales per square foot in the
average super market have
dropped 27% in one year.
* * *
Yet it seems to be evident
that the big super markets must
average a 21% mark up on the
sales of foods to break even.
♦ * *
This, then, explains why so
many supers are constantly
seeking special deals, display
allowances, discounts.
■ * * *
Far from being efficient op
erations, the super markets are
plagued with high priced or
ganised help, with big adminis
trative overhead loads.
* * •
The peak hour jam at the
checkout counters is becoming
more and more an aggravation
to consumers especially as they
learn they -■ are not saving
money.
a * •
This trend seems nationwide.
For example, in California, one
major chain which five years
ago led the natlea in sales per
square foot, last year did $10ft
million in 1M stores, showed a
profit of only $38 thousand, or
less than 2-5ths of 1%.
• e e
This breakdown of huge super
market system over past five
years, and rapidly accelerated
in 1960, is one of the most en
couraging things to happen for
the independent retailer.
* * *
It is qnite apparent if the
Federal Trade Commission will
quickly and energetically en
force the anti trust laws so that
there is no favoritism at the
wholesale level in the market
place, the pendulum will swing
back very rapidly in favor of the
soundly operated independent
retail outlet. This is quite an
exciting trend to contemplate.
