Something New One of the characteristics of private enterprise is its proven ability, on occasion after occasion, to achieve what many have believed to be impossible. England will see a good example of it this spring. A heavily insulated tanker will slip alongside a jetty near London. Aboard will be a cargo of “frozen gas”, superrefrigerated to a temperature of minus 258 degrees Fahrenheit. It will be the first of many shipments destined to bring cheaper and more convenient heat and fuel to millions of people overseas. The freezing of natural gas has been in the project stage for years. There were grave doubts as to its feasibility, though there was no question that, if it could be successfully achieved, the benefits would be enormous —for instance, it takes only one barrel of storage space for the frozen

A Vital Key

Farm chemicals are a key to prosperity. That, in substance, is the ’authoritative opinion of Charles B. Shuman, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation. He offered it in »n address to the 30th Annual Meeting of the National .Agricultural Chemicals Association. To quote him exactly: “The average consumer probably does not realize that use of agricultural chemicals is one of the key factors in the technological revolution in farming that has resulted in an abundance of high quality, nutritious food, at bargain prices. The . . . other factors that have contributed to dur highly efficient system of farming are the application of power and genetic improvement. “ . . . farm production efficiency enables an hour’s work to buy 60 per cent more farm food than in 1947-49 ... increased efficiency over the years has freed manpower to develop and operate our mass production industrial and manfacturing system.” Mr. Shuman also said this: ”... sen-

Where's The Relief? (Indianapolis News) Have you noticed? The sales tax is becoming more popular every day. At least, that’s what Lt. Gov. Richard Ristine says. But the sales tax could only become popular with Hoosiers if it were doing the job it.was supposed to do: Provide relief from other taxes, notably the property tax. Instead, those who were led to expect the sales tax would reduce property taxes have been bitterly disillusioned. The Indiana Taxpayers Association Yevealed last month that 52 counties will have higher property taxes to be collected this year, despite the fact they received new money from the state to take care of

gas for each 600 barrels of space it occupies as a vapor. One by one the problems were solved. And a mammoth production project was pioneered by a group of enterprises — the Union Stock Yard and Transit Company of Chicago, Continental Oil Company and the Royal Dutch Shell Group, working with the Gas Council of Great Britain. ! The long-range are now probabilities. New opportunities are open for gas-hungry countries seeking a more economical fuel that cannot be served by pipelines. And it will make its mark here at home by aiding the V. S. gas industry to liquefy natural gas during offseasons for storage and later revaporize it to meet demands of peak periods. That old saying — “There’s nothing new under the sun” — needs revising 1

The pesticides, and the other proved agricultural chemicals, will be an essential element iin the solution. ”... all available research indicates”, said Mr. Shuman, “that the use of agricultural chemicals according to directions does not constitute a health hazard.”

added school and other needs. For example. Marion county’s property taxes for 1964 will be nearly sll4 million, higher than those of the entire state in 1944. In its report, the Indiana Taxpayers Association warned: “If the continuing growth of property tax is to be stopped, increased spending must be curtailed, a fixed limit placed on property tax rates and larger sums of money from new tax sources must be earmarked for the reduction of property tax levies.” Obviously, the sales tax which Ristine endorsed has not provided the’ much-ad-vertised relief it was supposed to. How popular, then, can it be?

cipally Georgia. North Carolina, Florida, and Alabama have come up very strongly. They do not produce , as. many eggs as the corn belt, but they are growing as the mid-west is declining. | There are several reasons why the south has grown as rapidly as it has. People on the land have not had the alternate choices that the indurtrial north has. Factory employment was | not available to as many people. | They have had a lower wage rate and an advantage tn a milder cli- | mate. They have had the disadvant.ages of being farther from the feed supply and farther from the markets. So far their advantages outweighs the disadvantages and'growth ; continues.
