In a lashing editorial on the folly and fail- ure of our governments agricultural policies, publisher Tom Anderson of Farm And Ranch writes : Government control will work only in Heaven where they dont need it or in hell where they already have it. Lets get the government out ! Lets set the farmer free 1 It is argued, of course, that government supports and controls are essential to the very existence of farming, and that chaos would reign if they were dropped or even materially reduced in size and scope. But those arguments have a mighty tenuous base so far as fact is concerned. All the evidence indicates that the surplus problem has been the direct and inevitable result of government policy. Instead of proto meet public demand, farmers producing duce to meet a political condition. For example, Dr. Herrell De Graff of Cornell, who is one of the most highly regarded agricultural economists in the country, has said this: Over the past 35 years, during which surpluses have been almost chronic, a modest 2 increase in livestock could have eaten up all of the surpluses. This would have happened had agriculture been free. Other agricultural economists are now emphasizing the need for an expanding animal agriculture which, incidentally, is long-establish- ed so-call- ed free market agriculture. Meat animals convert grains into foods which practically everyone wants, needs and likes. It would certainly seem high time the government thought in terms of putting instead of into crops to productive use storage. That will be done if we set the farmer free to produce what consumers will buy. on t AN IRONY OF THE CENTURY This has been a century of medical milestones. Since 1900, life expectancy has risen from 47 years to nearly 70 years. Since 1900, the nations population has doubled. , Lut the number of Americans 65 years old and over from 3,000,000 has more than quadrupled to 14,000,000. Among Americans 65 and over, most killing diseases of the past have been effectively controlled. Since 1900, influenza and pneumonia deaths have declined nearly 80 per cent in persons over 65 while tuberculosis deaths have been reduced by 85 per cent. The cancer death rate, on the other hand, has risen 91 per cent sirice 1900. And unless this rate is checked, the annual death toll from cancer will double within the next 50 years. The disease already claims 255,000 Americans a year, half of them 65 and over. By 1975, the number of Americans over 65 years old is expected to exceed 20,000,000. Must we be resigned to a formula which states that more life is equal to more cancer? Obviously not. The problem of cancer has a solution. This disease will be overcome as other dread afflictions have been overcome. If cancer has lasted longer, it is proof only that more must be done to conquer it. More research is needed. That means more scientists, more equipment, more centers for training and instruction. Public education must be stepped up. The cancer patient needs more and better care. Our doctors need more information on the best means of diagnosis and treatment of cancer. To achieve these objectives, the fight against cancer needs more money. How much more? As much as it will take to eliminate cancer as a major killing disease. That would be an attainment, cheap at any price. The goal of the 1959 Cancer Crusade is a vital one. The goal is unlimited. No price should be put on the lives of the 40,000,000 Americans who will some day get cancer. Let all of us give support to the American Cancer Society for its unlimited drive against cancer. all-o- ut I scratched the fender a little, SOME ARE LIKE THAT If you want to look at it, A certain car, manufacturer its in the back seat. once advertised that he could put SS a car together in seven minutes.'
