This concession had been
made by Dr. Jackson when he

„ Thp FiV( . Tcn Cent
Remedy”
A story has been told ... of , two .
young people who were about
to break up a love affair be-
cause of the young man’s ne-
j gleet of !he young lady. The
young man was unwiilling to
break up the love affair and
therefore confessed his neglect
and offered to the young lady a
present as a .seal lo their re¬
stored relationship if she would
give to him another chance and
settle the matter with him. She
agreed to the proposal. He
took her down town In the most
exclusive section,
several stores until he finally
came to the “right, store,” the
five and ten cent store of the
town. When they entered, he
said to her, “Choose whatever
you want.”
This story might be oniy
amusing to many of us today.
But Is it unlike many real life
situations that can easily Ibe
carried over even Into world
situations of today? It is said
that a .drowning man will
make any kind of promise un-
tiil he Is rescued. He will then
make any k ind of plan to evade
the promise. Emergencies hi
life keenly reminds us of those
things that we have left un¬
done. Many times, however,
the emergencies must remain
with us if we are to do those
things. It Is not hard for us
to reach even difficult conclu¬
sions concerning what “we are
going to do” with the next op¬
portunlty which comes our way,
while we are going through
the emergency. Usually the
emergency Is gone when the
next opportunity comes. We
meet It with another story If
we are not reminded of our
promise very keenly.
During the stress and strain
of war, we dream of the many
opportunities which we abused
during peace time. It is easy
to correct our mistakes while
we dream but hard to make
them real when the emergen¬
cies are over. When the curse
of disorder and confusion and
discontentment are reborn to
us from our misuse or our fail¬
ing to use opportunities, we
long for another chance. Each
chance that we are granted we
use it over and over in an at¬
tempt to full’ll promises in
the “five and ten cent” sec¬
tions of our efforts and abil¬
ities.
That which we speak about
peace is applicable to brother¬
hood, equal rights, neighborli¬
ness and many other princi¬
ples where opportunities *are
j opened for our contribution to
progress in human relations.
Sometimes I think that more
promises are made on Janu¬
ary 1 and during election year
than any other seasons. While
}l ! ydo not think that character promis-

USDA Economist Receives
Award for Research Work
' Dr. Walter G. Miller, an agrj-
| cultural economist of the U. S,
Department of Agriculture, has
| been awarded a certificate of merit
! and $250 for the most outstanding
, land economics , research , reported , i
j during 1959.
! The award was made to the
Jamaica-horn economist by the
Amevienn Farm Economics Asso-
ciiittin at a- recent annual con
vent on at Iowa State University.
Similar awards went to two other
agricultural economists: J. F.
Hudson of Louisiana State Uni¬
versity, and Richard Andrews of
the University of New Hampshire.
Dr. Miller’s research is an ex¬
ploration of methods that might
be used in analyzing farm ineffi¬
ciencies due to tenure. The work
was done under a cooperative ar¬
rangement between USDA’s Agri¬
cultural Research Service and the
Agricultural Experiment Stations
of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and
Nebraska.
The study will help to open the
way to the solution of a complex
farm problem. For many years
agricultural economists have been
interested in determining the ex¬
tent to which the tenure status
(full owners, pnrt owners, cash
renters, and sharecroppers) of
farm operators affects their effi¬
ciency.
Different theories dealing with
the subject have been evolved, hut
only a few empirical studies have
been made to test their validity.
This deficiency in agricultural
economics research is said to arise,
at least partly, from the need for
techniques and procedures that will
deal adequately with the problems
involved.
1)V. Miller’s study helps to fill
this need. His research is report
ed In the January, 1959, issue of
“Agricultural Economics Ri
search,” a USDA quarterly. The
title of his report is: “Compara¬
tive Efficiency of Farm Tenure
Classes in the Combination of Re¬
sources.”
The economist first became In¬
terested in how tenure affects
farm efficiency in his native Ja¬
maica where he worked in the
Land Department, assisting in the
resettlement of farm families.
A search for the answer brought
him to the United States. Here he
earned B. S. and M. S. degrees in
agricultural economics at the Uni¬
versity of California, and the Ph.
D. degree in the field at Iowa State
University. The latter was award¬
ed in 1956.
As a research associate at fowa
State during his student days, Dr.
Miller did most of the research for
which he was cited. In his posi-
tion with the Land and Water
| Research Branch of USDA’s Agri-
|rulw cultural ,„, Research Service, ... he ... is
continuing the study of land-ten-
I ore problems.
