AID TO FARM PURCHASES The new plan to aid tenants, and other qualified and worthy farmers to buy their own farms on easy terms, went into effect recently in Georgia, with the closing of the first insured farm purchase loan under the the various farm organizations. The new plan® supplements the Bankhead-Jones Plan'and is. intended to ‘encourage the ownership of land by providing the neces- saryveredit. Under the plan in »effect, those who have the essential qualifications of health, industry, ambition and agricultural know- how, put up ten per cent of the purchase pricé of -a family-type farm and. borrow the other ninety per cent from a private lending source, The Farmers’ Home Ad- ministration insures the loan which must be paid off in a maximum of forty years. The borrower pays three and one-half per gent interest. The lender receives two and one-half per cent, which is a good re- turn for a Government-guaranteed loan. The new plan will no doubt have a good effect throughout the country but even its advocates realize that the current high level of farm land prices makes it neceguary to exercise caution in respect to loans; Under the _ Bankhead-Jones Act, thoserwho bought their farms got them at prices way below the present market values. Present-day purchasers may suf- fer some losses whey farm land values go down, The way to live. well is to work well. It is easy to get support for almost any cause until the time comes for a cash con- tribution, ® ~ Trading at home, whenever possible, is sound policy; the dollar that stays around might come back.

Kingfish were trolled for in those enough wind for trolling, the fisherman gigged for kingfish. And he did not have to go far from shore to catch them. Some- times he could land as many as he wanted without leaving the Main Ship Channel. Runners, another surface fish, were caught from wharves or in the immediate harbor. Fish are still plentiful in Key West waters, but they were abundant in the old days. But with fish, as with game generally, the greater the spread of: popu- lation of man the less the number of fish or wild land animals in the populous areas. a ceempemathonae dues aad When the average sweet young thing finally makes up her mind that he is her best chance, he has lost his last chance. RETAILER'S PROFIT A factual analysis of high foo. prices has just been released by the Staff of the Congressional: Joint Committee on the Economic Report. As part of the analysis, the sales and profits of eight large retail food distributors were studied, and a comparison made between 1946 and the 1935-39 period. It was found that the rate of profit on sales, after payment of taxes, has changed only by two-tenths of ‘one per cent. And if profits were entirely eliminated, the report'/goes on, “It would not appreciably affect the total price of food to the consumer.” That statement, coming from an of- ficial source, should help dissipate the dangerous and unjust theory that retail business is responsible for high prices. The margin of profit earned by stores in selling general commodities must, in many cases, be higher than that earned on foods, But, regardléss of the character of goods sold, the profit margin is almost always a very small part of the price charged the consumer. The extremely keen com- petition between stores is in itself an as- surance of that. Exhorbitant profits in re- tail trade are impossible under a system in which chains and independents, de- partment stores and specialty shops, su- per-markets and family-operated corner groceries, are all exerting themselves to the limit-to gain consumer favor and pa- tronage. Retail prices will come down when and if wholesale prices come down. Wholesale prices will come down when and if manufaeturers can produce more cheaply. That is the substance of the price problem. In the meantime, the profit earned by your retailer is one of the lesser items in your cost of living. A mother-in-law should be a mother- in-equity. ‘ NOT PROPAGANDA For some reason, the idea is being cir- culated in the United States that the Eu- roiean erisis represents some clever pro- Paganda on the part of greedy Europeans to mileh the United States. Facts and figures assembled by re- sponsible Americans make little impres- sion on those who are already convinced that Americans are incapable of protect- ing themselves from being “outsmarted.” It would be unfortunate if any consid- erable portion of the American public jumps ta the conclusion that distress, suf- feying and starvation in Europé is a myth and-not a reality. The results in interna- tional affairs would be uncomfortable to this country if not disastrous, n Post in The Key West In | fishermen who | : have been coming to Key West 80 years | __ Days Go Gone ne B One fisherman remarked ‘that he did not see much difference in the number of ‘mackerel in local waters now as compared with the schools of mackerel the first sea-|Porter Dock Company, © He is in a position to kilow, because he has not missed a season in coming finda condition, regarding fish of all. types, altogether different from what it In those days anybody could catch all'the mackerel he wished, when they were in -season, fishing from any of the wharves along’ the northwesterly side of the island.
