What Is Mass Distribution?

Just what is “mass distribution ?” The mechanics of this method of selling goods are complex, but the principle is simple. It used to be that distribution was based upon a system of buying as cheaply as possible and selling as dearly as possible. That is still the case in many of the countries of the world. Mass distribution, U. S. style, marked a revolutionary departure. Its motivating principle is to buy as cheaply as possible and sell as cheaply as possible — in other words, to give more for the con-

Invest In America

A million new jobs a year call for at least $17,000 new capital investment per job — seventeen billion dollars per year. And at least another twenty billion dollars a year is needed to maintain the plants and machinary providing the 67 million jobs we now enjoy. Where is the money coming from? The answer: From the same source of capital that has provided it in the past — savings in the form of retained earnings of business enterprises and the savings of the American people — your savings.

Storm Os Opposition

A violent storm of opposition, fed by potent winds both in and out of Congress, has risen . against the Administrationbacked bill to levy a 20 per cent withholding tax on interest and dividend payments This, some have observed, amounts to saying that all recipients of such income are potential crooks. Others see it as a penalty against the many in order- to catch up with the derelictions of the few. Beyond this, some very cogent practical arguments are stressed. A staggering amount of bookkeeping, at unknown cost, would be required of enterprises paying interest or dividends. Individuals, too, would be plagued with new bookkeeping problems. The tax would be paid before it was actually due, and people who

FARM NOTEsl:Gjar=|

By DONALD FRANTZ Agriculture Extension Agent Some soybean fields are beginning to show signs of Manganese deficiency. This is the yellowing that usually shows up first in black soil and starts with a pale color between the veins in the leaf. The leaf veins will be darker than the area between them. The leaf goes from a pale green to yellow, then to a browning around the edges and dies. A foliar spray using 10 pounds of Manganese sulphate per acre in about 15 gallons of water. The exact amount of water is not important as it only serves to dissolve the Manganese sulphate and carry it to the plant. When the solution is dissolved well and the leaves of the beans are moistened then the job is sufficient. It is important though to use a low pressure spray. Plants can be hurt by driving the spray into the leaves at high pressure. I would say that 45 pounds' pressure is the limit. Most spraying jobs are done with low pressure weed sprayers. They are ideal tools for this, if they are clean and water alone won’t clean them. Sprayers that have been used for 2,4-D should be neutralized with ammonia. A i quart of household ammonia run through in about 10 gallons of water should do it. This ought to be done anyway to get the 2,4-D acid out when weed spraying is completed. d The Estes case has really dramatized the rapid growth of the use of anhydrous ammonia in farming. In most countries of the world the absolute difference between abundance and starvation is in finding away to adequately sup- 1 ply the soil with nitrogen. Yet over each square mile of earth there is an estimated 20 million tons of it as a part of the air. So the struggle for food has been in part a search for a method of cap-1

turing it from the air and putting it into the soil. This is the basis of crop rotations, legumes can do this little trick so we used clover and alfalfa to put the nitrogen in the soil and then grew corn which used it. The early nitrogen fertilizers were natural deposits, salt peter from India, nitrate of soda from Chile and hundreds of years’ accumulations of bird droppings. The quest for nitrogen has included endless toil in hauling and spreading of manure, both animal and human. We have never had this great problem in this country because population was not a problem and up until a few generations ago there was always new land. You really have to see the life and death struggle in the Orient to see what it is all about. It is not such a big joke to the Chinese to take their little wagons to the fields first thing in the morning to save the amount of nitrogen that we could buy for two cents or less. Like many scientific fetes, the capturing of nitrogen from the air was first accomplished in Germany but they did it primarily for military reasons. It was not until about 1930 that ammonia came into use in this country as a plant food when it was added to irrigation water. It had been used successfully in experiments in France and Russia at the turn of the century but their research wasn’t geared to go into improved living 'standards as ours is. | The use of anhydrous ammonia as a direct soil treatment was 1 first reported in 1930.

The practice moved i north into the com-belt until you ■ ■ cannot drive one mile through Illinois and lowa without seeing a tank or an applicator or bulk station.

sumer dollar. This isn’t because merchants are operating an eleemosynary institution. They certainly aren’t. But they have learned — in spite of early-day scoffers — that all benefit when a big volume of goods is moved at a small unit profit, instead of moving a small volume of goods at a big profit. - The chains pioneered mass distribution. Other kinds of merchants adapted it with complete success to their own enterprises. Much of the credit for the American standard of living belongs to it.

You don’t have to own stock in a corporation to be a capitalist — an investor. That’s only one way. If you put your savings in a bank or savings and loan institution, or take out life insurance or buy real estate, your money — your savings — is put to work by business and industry to develop jobs, production of goods and services. That’s what investment means — putting money to work. Let’s voluntarily and wisely invest in Our funds and our faith in our future. We are all capitalists — investors of our savings.

might otherwise invest the money would be the losers. - The burden would fall primarily on people of small means who can least afford it. And many people, not understanding the routine involved in obtaining refunds over payment, might lose out entirely. The government, opponents go on, has other and fairer means of seeing to it that all taxpayers meet their obligations. For one thing, it is pointed out that the Internal Revenue Service is not taking fully effective advantage of the sources of information it now possesses. For another, the new electronic data equipment the Service is now obtaining will provide a virtually complete dossier on all of us, so far as tax matters are concerned. The vices inherent in the withholding scheme would far out weigh any virtues.

Little Chats ON Public Notice By James E. Pollard Copyright 1960 CHANGING A SHIP’S NAME (No. 43 in a Series) In Act H, Scene I, of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare has Juliet ask the famous question: “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” But there are names and names. And many kinds of names have property values which are both recognized and protected by law. To name just a few, among these are brand names, the names of horses, ships and registered dogs and cats, and even the names of your favorite newspaper or mazazine. Some time ago a southern newspaper carried a public notice to the effect that an order had been issued authorizing the name of a vessel, previously known as the “Lydia C,” to be changed to “Capmar.” The notice gave the date of the order, the official number of the vessel, the name of her owners, and her home port. It was signed by the deputy collector in charge of marine work and was to be run four times. Any owner has a right to change the name of a registered vessel so long as he gives proper notice and so long as the new name does not conflict with that of another registered vessel. But this small incident, involving only a routine change, illustrates again the wide use of the public notice for many purposes, as well as reliance upon the newspaper as the chief medium for publicizing such notices. Through the notice in question the change in name was given publicity. The action thereby became also one of further public record, thus serving the interests of the owners and of all persons who might be concerned with the change in a ship’s name.

HOW DO YOU CONTROL THE MAN?

Dear Amy: I have been seeing a very nice young man for several months, and we have pome to know each other very well. There have been no intimacies between us other than the usual kisses. Here of late he has become more demanding and it has become almost a continual struggle to fight him off. I like him very much and I know he cares for me, otherwise I would refuse to see him again. Have you any ideas on how I could continue going with him and still preserve my ‘dignity’? Marriage in Mind Dear Mind: Any woman can control the beast in a man if she’s ‘cagey* enough! If he respected your ‘dignity’, he would control his desires until he could put your name on a marriage license. Be bold in what you stand for and careful what you fall for! ♦ » » Dear Amy: I have a friend (a boy) who is going steady witil a girl I know 7 . One night he tried to kiss me. I tjld his girlfriend and she asked him if it were true and he is denying it. Shall I tell her it wasn’t true and make her mad at me or let her think he was lying and cause them to break up! Worried Dear Worried: If you let a cat out of the bag never try to cram it back again; his girl friend will find out about him sooner or later all by herself. Dear Amy: . I have known Stan for quite some time and like him very much. A few weeks ago he gave me a friendship ring. It’s not an expensive one, but very pretty and I had much pleasure in wearing it. That is, I did until my friends began making sarcastic remarks about it. Now I wear it on a chain around my neck. Stan is quite angry that I don’t wear it on my finger, but I can’t hurt his feelings and tell him what my friends say. What should I do? Terry Dear Terry: Although I can understand yrar concern about what y >ar friends say, there are times, in the process of growing up, vhen you must form your own opinions regardless of what theirs are.

When you accept a friendship ring from a boy you like very much, yon should wear it where it belongs. If you don’t, he’ll find someone who will. * * * Dear Amy: I beg you to print tLSs so that other women will have hopes for a drinking husband. Some months ago I saw a letter in your column which read like a carbon copy of my life. You offered to send the writer a letter of how one wife helped save her husband from alcoholism. I wrote you for that advice, too. I have three children and my husband had spent all his earnings drinking and gambling. He came home from work four nights out of five dog-drunk and if I opened my mouth, he would beat me black and blue, shout at me 'and one time even broke my arm. The children were scared to death oi him. I had thought of killing him many a night as he lay sprawled across my bed . . . drunk. We were deep in debt from him selling everything we had so that he could get a few 7 dollars for a I bottle. Now he admits (after reading the story you were kind enough to send me) that in a few months he would have been in the hospital for treatment as an alcoholic. I know I had grown bitter and nagged a lot so I really decided to do just what the letter said. Amy, in two short months, my husband has stopped drinking, stays at home and is kind and good to me and the babies. He takes time to talk and play with our 5 year old son, brings in little gifts, goes to church now and acts proud of us. He brings his check home and we figure it together. We have hopes of getting out of debt soon. I started fixing myself up and acting different. He says I don’t have to worry about fixing up that he loves me more than he ever has and has a new re ect me. This seems like Heaven on Earth. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
