All rights of republication of all other matter herein are also reserved, What of 1937? As the old year wanes, America turns hopefully to 1937, + gonfidently anticipating that it will bring better times. This is devoutly to be wished and business analysts agree | that, in the nation as a whole, material improvements are in sight. ,; A number of forecasts have been received by The Tribune, each purporting to give the real “low down.” Though they dif- fer a bit in detail all agree that the outlook is encouraging, If these prophets are correct we may expect from 1937: 1. Accelerated business activity all along the line with greatly increased building, higher prices for both things and wages and a sharp decrease in unemployment. If the present trend continues the jobless should be down to about 6,000,000 by the end of the year and of these 4,000,000 will be unemploy- pbles and the remainder casual workers who always have been casual workers. 2. As money flows into the hands of the people “sales resistance” will weaken and selling campaigns will be more successful. The public will again become a factor in the invest- ment market and a large share of its money will go into new homes. Those are the essential things and a number of other re- sults will stem from them. The federal budget will not be bal- anced but it will be nearly so and the prospect is for achieving balance in 1938. There will be labor troubles but they are not likely to seriously impede progress. Rents will be higher and children placed in school and college through the National Youth administration will be able to stay there on their own and their parents’ resources, Business and industrial records will surpass those of 1929 because the country is bigger now and the pros- perity level for the AVERAGE INDIVIDUAL will approach that of 1929. That all areas will share equally in the improvement, how- ever, is not the fact. Local conditions will help to determine the outlook in North Dakota. On the whole it is favorable. Prices for agricultural com- .. <zodities are the best in years. What production is obtained is quite likely to be profitable. Farming in the drouth areas has Ybeen so seriously reduced that it can go in no direction except upward. To share in the national prosperity we must have produc- tion and that depends, in our case, upon both man and nature. Seed loans are imperative if we are to plant anything approach- ing a normal acreage to grain. Many farmers must have feed loans if they are to carry their breeding and work stock through this winter in satisfactory condition. In the southwestern part of the state loans will be necessary to return to that section cattle to make full use of its grazing area, And, over and above all of these considerations, we must have rain enough to grow grain and grass. This is always an unknown factor in this area. On the whole the prospect here is hopeful. We easily could make a GREATER COMEBACK THAN OTHER PARTS OF THE NATION. Whether or not we will, depends upon both| our own initiative and enterprise and upon the fates which often make the plans of men no more consequential than those of mice. € But whatever the future holds, we face 1937 with faith and hope and even confidence. We have been chastened by ad- versity but we have pulled through. ‘ On this basis we are filled with cheer and optimism as we wish the subscribers and friends of The Tribune a Happy New Year. Farm Tenancy Problem Ample reason for the government’s interest in getting farm Jand back into the hands of owners who will operate it them- selves is seen in figures compiled by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. They figure that farm operators in North Dakota own only 88.9 per cent of the VALUE of the farms they operate. The rest belongs to non-farmers. The figure was arrived at by first counting out those who are frankly tenants and own no equity in the land. Then they counted out the mortgage indebtedness on land and buildings, since that share is owned by the mortgage holder. When this had been done and the regults totalled they found North Da- kota eighth from the bottom in the list of states, only seven others having a higher proportion of tenancy than is true here. In-the number of outright tenants an increase from two rer cent in 1880 to 39 per cent in 1935 has been recorded. These are convincing arguments as to the growth of the evil. Whether or not anything effective can be done about it is another matter. The Real Index “Purchasing power of the average weekly earnings of fac- tory workers at present is GREATER THAN AT ANY TIME _ IN 1929”-says the National Industrial Conference board in a year-end review. That is ample proof-that America is about to surpass its ' old standards in the benefits received by the average factory worker. : If and when we can say the same thing about the AVER- { AGE FARMER we will really be on our way to the heights | which all of us know are possible.

This is the fifth of the series, By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Dec, 31.—Crop insur- ance, farm tenancy legislation, and a possible strengthening of federal Congress must appropriate the $500,000,000 provided for the benefit payments and administration of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Al- lotment Act, successor to the old Agricultural Adjustment Act, which the U, S. Supreme Court killed. This is the chassis of the federal farm program and congress may make certain alterations to restore control powers which lapsed when the adjustment act was thrown out. The crop insurance scheme will be voluntary, premiums to be paid in kind, and designed to protect farm- ers against price crashes and bad weather. Farm tenancy legislation will more or less follow recommendations of a THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1936 DON'T TELL me To sCRAm, YOUNG FELLER? I aspicate! presidential committee now survey- ing the field. Secretary of Agricul- ture Henry A. Wallace is committee chairman, * * Cite Success of Tests There are two schools of thought as to the efficacy of the conservation- domestic allotment act as a method of crop control. Some authorities believe it can be used as effectively as the old AAA. They point out that the new act seems to have worked well toward keeping cotton and tobacco produc- tion within bounds and probably will do just as well as the old system did with wheat, where the adjustment act never was as effective as anti- cipated, Under the conservation act, farm- ers are compensated for shifting from such “soil-depleting” crops as corn, cotton, and tobacco to such “soil-building crops” as clover and alfalfa. Secretary Wallace, however, has warned that even with the crop in- surance-ever normal granary pro- gram which he proposes, some crop control will be necessary. Administrator H. R. Tolley of AAA says farmers need “a new and better plan for production control” to take care of emergencies. Whether any such proposal will be made to con- gress is uncertain, but farm leaders are likely to make the demand, The present program calls for ad- ministration of the conservation- domestic allotment law to be turned over to the states in 1938, along with added authority for regulation of pro- duction and maintenance of farm in- come. However, it’s not unlikely that congress will be asked to amend the law to keep administration of the act in Washington and confer those added powers on AAA. * % % How Insurance Will Work Congress must decide whether the crop insurance plan worked out by Wallace's experts is to be applied at first only to wheat, or should also be applied at once to two or three other crops, such as corn and cotton, In years of surplus, this plan pro- poses, farmers would pay their prem- jums in the form of crop surplus. Indemnities for loss through drouth or other weather factors would be paid to the insured farmer in his bad crop years, either in cash or in quantities of the stored surplus. This will be an administration answer to the triple problem of low prices in bumper crop years, periodic distress when crops are destroyed by weather factors, and the shortage of farm supplies sometimes caused by drouth, Wallace's committee of experts urges that only a plan for insurance of wheat be recommended to congress for 1937. Only in counties where a sufficient minimum of farmers par- ticipate, probably up to 30 per cent, would the plan be placed in effect, The rate of premiums payable in bushels would vary greatly, but in event of crop failure the insured farmer would be entitled to draw from a government warehouse wheat equal to three-quarters of his normal yield. Wallace suggests records for the 1930-35 period as a base for comput- ing normal yield. Roosevelt and Wallace have ack- nowledged the evils of a situation which now’ finds 42.6 per cent of American farmers in the tenant category, with 40,000 farmers pass- ing from ownership to tenancy each year. But Wallace has warned against large annual appropriations for pur- chase of land and sale to tenants, pointing out that many tenants have never demonstrated desire or capacity for ownership. ** * : Help for Tenants The committee probably will recom- mend a modified version of the Bankhead-Jones farm tenancy act, which once passed the senate, pro- viding individual ownership through payment of long-term annuities, renting from the federal government, — Your Personal Health By William Brady, M.

Dr. Brady or diag! ia, ady in care of The Tribun: stamped, celf-adéressed on: PYORRHEA AND GINGIVITIS Pyorrhes is suppurative inflammation of the periosteum or bone-covering membrane lining the tooth sockets, with shrinkage or atrophy of the gums and loosening of the teeth. Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums. Both are essentially the same degenerative disease and, according to modern , Rige’s disease, ition varior called alveolaris, authorities, the condition usly pyorrhea tally feaeatiog chronic gingivitis and Fauchard’s disease, is of faulty nutrition, ‘We can offer only general information and advice concerning causes, prevention and relief. It remains for your own dentor to treat specific con- ditions in your case. He knows best whether your teeth require for instance scaling to remove tartar or calcareous deposits or perhaps other prophy- lactic measures to maintain as nearly as possible normal function. Remem- ber, regular use is the best prevention against atrophy, shrinkage or wasting of tissues. ‘With respect to the conservation of the teeth, people too often forget that non-use, whether of some of the teeth on one aide or of all of the teeth, inevitably leads to weakening, wasting or atrophy. Critical inspection of the mouth of the pyorrhea patient usually shows plainly that the patient, in earlier years, has neglected to have necessary dental treatment and repairs or has indulged in the false economy of makeshift work by dental quacks or cheapjohns. = One who has any trouble with a tooth can make no better investment than the services of a dentor whose skill may save that tooth. An individual who appreciates the value of health and physical efficiency will never hes- itate to spend a week's income on the effort to save or restore the damaged or decayed tooth. On the other hand any fool can and probably will con- clude at once that extraction of the troublesome tooth is the right solution. Today you can buy a fine set of teeth for a thousand dollars, but not for s thousand dollars a tooth can you buy ‘em as good as your own were before you allowed them to fall into disuse and dis-ease. The principal nutritional deficiencies which competent investigators consider factors of pyorrhea are: (1) diet poor in calclum (lime) and phos- phorus, (2) too little food requiring chewing, (3) lack of vitamin A which is concerned especially in the development of the soft tissues about the teeth. (4) lack of vitamin C and (5) lack of vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin, which is essential for proper utilization of calcium and phosphorus. Besides these causes, at least in the opinion of some doctors and dentors, neglect of regular brushing or improper technic in the brushing of the teeth is a con- NEWS FROM ALBERTA (New York Times) * From Alberta, that fruitful mother of innovations comes a new political theory. Mr, Walter Kuhl, Social Credit member for Jasper Edson, solemnly avers, ang will aver more loudly at Ottawa next month, that since Dec. 11, 1931, the Canadian Sen- | ate and House of Commons have had | from it. no legal existence, The Statute of Westminster suspended the British North America Act. Since the pas- sage of the former each Province has become a sovereign State: The sovereign status came to Canada by virtue of the Statute of Westminster, but neither prior to nor since have the Provinces With Other E agreed to federaté. This trans- ferred sovereign powers to the Provinces, not the Dominion Par- Mament, which has no legal pow- ers to operate, This curious reading of history and Jaw is interesting in itself and for the conclusions which Mr, Kuhl draws Alberta can do what she pleases, freed from the restraints of the North America Act. Thus a wider scope will be given to her financial genius, But isn’t there an easier and surer way out of her troubles? ‘The Dominion Department of Mines and Resources includes Indian Affairs. Minister Crerar is going to bestow vocational training upon the Indians. He will even teach them trapping and DITORS Reprinted to show what they say We may or may not egree with them. hunting, arts which they are supposed to have taught the white man. In- dian farming too, at least, in Alberta, might perhaps be better learned than taught by its white farmers. There are some 6,000 Indians of the Sarcee tribe in Northern Alberta. Is'| Oscar Otter, who has a quarter-sec- tion of land near Calgary, a typical Sarcee farmer? He has had a fat wheat crop this year. He owns thirty head of cattle and 140 horses, “I am @ good farmer,” he says. “I have not one single debt.” And “Indians are good farmers.” Oscar Otter ought to be Minister of Agriculture. Perhaps he ought to be Minister of Finance. He needs no “prosperity dollars.” He knows how to farm and to keep out of debt. = BIt OF HUMOR NOW AND THEN 8 RELISHED BY THE BEST OF MEN Joe — Dearest, I want you to marry me. ‘Dots — But have you seen father?
