He drives the 20 miles to Logan from the family farm in East Garland each day, and finds time to combine practical farm work with his scholastic pursuits. This year for the first time the national Future Farmers of America and the English counterpart young farmer organization got together and decided to s exchange outstanding young of their countries, to foster better understanding and relabetween tionships Englands and the United States farm groups. Hansen was one of the four United States F. F. A. members selected to make the trip to England, along with young farmers from Pennsylvania, and Missouri. They were in England from July 1 to August 14, with the exception of in Paris. The three nights Parisians, Hansen explains, warn their guests that time in Paris is counted in nights, not days. Hansen found that English farms live up to their reputation of being the most efficient and highly mechanized in the world, although the English manner of dividing them into fields with hedge rows or stone as fences strikes an American strange. With abundant rainfall, the English farmer never has to worry about adequate moisture, although sometimes drainage is a problem. But under the socialist government, with nationalization of industries, utilities and many services, high taxes, rationing and other restrictions, individual initiative is virtually dead in Britain, Hansen reports as his observation reminding h i s hearers that the F. F. A. avoids politics. Without exception, he found that the 'English farmrrs are opposed most of them 'bitterly opposed to the socialist governments 'program. A few guessed that some particular phase might be doing some people some good, but in general farm opposition to the government is unrelieved. One or two farmers said maybe socialized medicine was bringing medical aid to some get it people who wouldnt otherwise, Hansen reports, but a young farmer my age pays $100 a year for his medical insurance. Im sure there are private companies with health insurance policies in the United offering better medical service for much less money. Hansen got a definite impression that the only point of focus for the English farmer's initiative now is to beat taxes, rationing and other government regulations. For example, a farmer is allowed to kill two pits a year for his own familys use. On one farm Hansen saw three pigs, and ask. ed about it. That largest one, the farmer told him, pointing out a perfectly healthy animal, is a mighty sick pig. I doubt if he'll last out the week. So Ive already got the two other one to take his place." Railroads, coal mines and other nationalized British industries lost millions of dollars last year. The entire country is operating under a false economy, Hansen believes. If Marshall plan support from the United States were withdrawn, the British economy would top from? is the money coming Hansen asked them. They admitted that was what worried them, he reports. They said they thought probably the United States would do something about it. There were only 40 people in all England with incomes over $25,000 last year, Hansen learned. The income tax rate on incomes over $25,000 is $3.90 on every $4.00 the former value of the pound. Hansen stayed with one farmer who owned a lace factory. He told me he used to go to his factory at 7 o'clock in the morning and work until 8 oclock at night, try to find more favorable markets for his product, try to find w'here he could add an employee here or there to increase production and efficiency. Mow, he said, the government tells him how many people he must hire, where he must sell his product and for how much. So he spends only a couple hours a day at his factory, if he goes down at all. He prefers to spend his time at his farm. By allowing his factory to lose $20,000 a year, he can .balance it against his farms earnings and avoid a lot 1 AGE EIGJt BOX ELDER Brigham Nelda Parsons, son and Dean nied by Erma cellent cla iy.RNAL Ada" Crompt'o000 at th results fied ads secure68''10 We're Closing Out Entire Stock Of JOHNSON SEAHORSE , crops young to Mrs. Charles Kimber, society to discuss British politics withler continued.
