A A A HOARDING HYSTERIA U.S. Has Greatest Food Supply Of Any Country in World Today A Michigan farmer drove up to his grocery store with 250 pounds of sugar in the back seat of his automobile. He told the merchant he had purchased the sujar before World War II and wanted to exchange it for a fresh supply. The merchant told him, not too politely, whore to go. That, perhaps, was an unusual incident, but throughout the nation the greedy have been rushing to purchase large supplies of sugar, ny-lons, cigarettes, liquor, sheets and even automobiles and household ap- - pliances. In some instances the icare buying has reached almost hysterical proportions. The average citizen, who remem-bers the shortage of World War II, is not entirely to blame. Inclined to believe the hints and rumors that always prevail in time of na-tional emergencies, the consumer has been listening and following the nudging of many retailers and manufacturers that there will be future shortages. In one southern town, for instance, a shoe store called its regular custo-mers and told them to come in and buy two or three pairs of shoes be-fore leather became scarce. Warehouses Overflowing One customer replied he had need for only one pair of shoes, a steel-to- e pair with which to plant a swift kick to the merchant's posterior. For every one of those per-sons who are hoarding, how-ever, there are hundreds who listen to the voice of the govern-ment proclaiming there will be no shortages. And for every merchant that urges scare buy-ing, there are hundreds who have advertised In newspapers telling consumers their stocks are adequate. Some stores are offering large sacks with the word "hoarder" in large letters to . their customers who they suspect of buying more than their immediate needs. Many others are refusing to sell in large quantities. All this excess buying and short-age hysteria is about the silliest thing that has overtaken the Ameri-can public since the wave of gold-fish gulping by college boys a number of years ago. Food, for instance, is overflowing government warehouses. The de-partment of agriculture has so much wheat, corn, eggs, milk, but-ter, and other farm commodities on hand it would like to give them away. The government actually doesn't have room to store all of its surplus stocks. On top of this, farm crops are expected to be near record peaks this year and meat production will top last year. While the scare buying and hoard-ing appears ridiculous, it has a serious and almost tragic angle, too. American's are undermining their own economy, forcing prices upward, and thus presenting the possibility of defeat from within. Americans are remembering 1942 and trying to put the same coat of circumstances on 1950. It will not fit, however. In 1942 this country took up-on itself to feed most of the world, while today we have only ourselves to feed. Barring the kind of buying that brings on controls there will be enough of everything for every Ameri-can. In 1942 the United States had to build war plants. Today they are waiting to be reopened and retooled. During the last war our supply lines reached in every direction, extending thousands of miles over the oceans of the world. Today they stretch across the Pacific ocean where there are no submarines to hinder shipment. This country has stockpiles of strategic materials such as lead, bauxite, mica and raw rubber. We have numerous government owned synthetic rubber plants that can more than fill our needs. Farm Production High Steel production is greater now than at any time during the war and the petroleum industry has in-creased production far bvyond the peak World War II output. The farmers of the nation more than anyone else realize how silly it is to hoard. Here are some of the reasons: Fats and Oils Stocks are ample because of our near rec-ord supplies of cotton seed, soy-beans and lard. Meat We have over 80 mil-lion head of rattle, over GO mil-lion hogs, and the annual out-put of meat Is rising steadily. Milk Production will reach a new all-tim- e high this year. Wheat We have on hand right now a surplus of nearly 500,000,-00- 0 bushels a half year's sup-ply left over from last year's crop. Corn We have a surplus sup-ply of nearly billion bushels half again as much as In 1941. These supplies could be doubled if necessary, because: 1. Tractors have more than doubled on our farms since 1941, with over 3Vi million of them multi-plying farm production today. 2. Animals are bred to far better production: a dairy cow now gives one-fift- h more milk than one did 25 years ago; a hen lays 43 more eggs per year than one did 15 years ago. 3. Chemical fertilizers have more than doubled in farm use since 1941, greatly increasing crop yields. 4. Over two million trucks, and nearly 6 million automobiles prac-tically one to each farm are speed-ing all farm work. 5. Electrification has spread to over 4 out of 5 farms, vastly in-creasing use of power equipment. In 1941, only about one-thir- d of our farms were electrified. Sugar Stocks Adequate The American people do not like rationing and price controls be-cause it smacks of regimentation and dictatorship, but continued scare buying and hoarding will bring it about quicker than any-thing except total war. Sugar buying is perhaps the sil-liest of all hoarding. Americans generally don't seem to think so. The agriculture department re-ports the nation's primary distribu-tors sold 37 per cent more sugar during the first three weeks of July than in the corresponding period a year ago. A total of 880,695 tons were distributed between July 1 and July 22, compared with 554,-30- 9 in the like period last year. What makes this ridiculous is the fact the government has made ar-rangements to purchase Cuba's en-tire reserve stocks of sugar, total-ing some 600,000 tons. This is on top of the largest stock of sugar this country has ever held. The total available for consump-tion in 1950 is 8,450,000 tons, com-pared with the peak consumption of 7,500,000 tons of last year. Shairan Wit A married man can do any-thing he likes if his wife doesn't mind; a widower can't be too careful. Martyrdom is the only way in which a man can become famous without ability. My way of joking is to tell the truth; it's the funniest joke in the world. Success covers a multitude of blunders. There is only one religion, though there are a hundred ver-sions of it. Right as Rain There may be some doubt as to who are the best people to have charge of children, but there can be no doubt that parents are the worst. The things most people want to know about are usually none of their business. The truth is the one thing that nobody will believe. HASHES?

J J 1 W-- - Sour Note for Sugar Hoarders A Washington, D. C, grocer recently stacked sugar outside his store and put up a sign reading, "Special, Five Pounds Sugar, 98c." Lines formed, he said, and he sold about 800 pounds in four hours. Grocers across the street continued selling sugar at five pounds for 59c and had no rush. "I just wanted to see the reaction," the grocer said. "I wanted to prove that the price doesn't mean a thing. If they want it they buy it." 40 |
