Indiana Dirt Farmer Lists
‘Needed Props’ for Prosperity
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Service Correspondent
INDIANAPOLIS. — (NEA) — Hassil Schenck is
president of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation.
He owns and operates & 320-acre grain and stock
farm near Lebanon, Ind,, northwest of Indianapolis.
But an awful lot of his time is spent on Farm Bu
reau business — at his Indianapolis office, around
the state, testifying in Washington or at AFBF
:f" guarters in Chicago. . i
Indiana doesn’t have the system of Farm Bureau
control over county agents and government agri
cultural extension progranys found in other mid
western states. Hassil Schenck says he is just as
happy to operate under the Indiana system. He
therefore has no interest in the big Washington
ficht over legislation designed to diverce the De
partment of Agriculture from partial Farm Bureau
cirection. Schenck says he is a believer in states’
r.ahts, however, and if other states want to operate
that way, it's up to them.
On other major Farm Bureau programs, Schenck
soes along. He has opposed the Brannan plan, and
built up a pretty good support from Indiana Repub=
licans and Democrats who hold the same view,
Schenck says, however, that he believes there has
been too much emphasis on this discussion of price
supports. His contention is that price supports alone
do not make a farnr program.
He reaches in his coat pocket and pulls out a
card, It has a few typewritten lines on it. Hope
fully, you wonder if here is a man who has done
the undoable and written a farm program on a post
card, He has. But wait a minute,
There are 20 things that make up a complete farm
program, he explains, He has listed them on his
card. *I can,” he says, “give you anything from a
15-minute to a full hour’s speech on each of the 20
points.”
There just wasn’'t time for the full course. But
Mr, Schenck did furnish a copy of the card. And
the mere listing of his 20 points was sonrething of a
major feat in itself. If memeory serves a-right, never
has even the most dreamy-eyed planner in Wash
ingion dared to set down in one place all the things
he would like to have in the way of‘a farm pro
gram, of which price supports and /or the Brannan
plan would be only 5 percent of the total.
Not all of Mr, Schenck’s 20 points are what might
be called exclusively farm policies, Some .of them
effect the whole economy, non-farm as well as
farm. Yet he considers them essential to maintain
ing a sound agricultural situation,
THE PART DEPENDS ON HEALTHY WHOLE
For instance, he believes that there must be
sound monetary and fiscal policies for the whole
government and private business structure. For
without them, there could be no basis for exchange
of farm products on the market place and no in
centive to rroduce them. ;
Similarly, Mr. Schenck lists good federal debt
management as essential to farm prosperity, He be=
ligves, nevertheless, that the Congress should en
‘arge Commodity Credit’s lending authority by an
other $2,000,000,000. And he wants farm credit
policies liberalized.
Mr. Schenck endorses the reciprocal trqu agree
ments program as necessary to aid the export of
American farm surpluses. And he favors negotia
tion of further international commodity agreements,
like the wheat agreement now in operation,
Farm Bureau co-ops are strong in Indiana and
they compete with private business. The State
Chamber of Commerce battles the Farm Bureau on
‘the so-called tax exemptions for co-ops, yet Mr.
Schenck fights back, He is particularly strong for
continued and extended Rural Electrification Ad
ministration programs,
He favors extension of marketing agreement sys
tems and production adjustment syst'ems——market
ing quotas—to stabilize agriculture. Crop insurance
is still in the experimental stage but he lists it as a
necessary or at least desirale development,
The esetablished agricultural extension and soil
conservation programs are on the Schenck list.
Ha lists as necessary for further study and con
trol the subjects of distribution of farm products
and transportation of farm products. The farmer
gets only a few cents out of the cost of a loaf of
bread or a bottle of milk, and the other, non-farm
costs need bringing down. Inter-city heavy duty
trucks should pay a higher share of highway costs
because they are ruining farm roads. The use of
airplanes for transport of farm products is just be
ginning and needs encouragement.
Also on the list are three research programs on
the production, marketing and utilization of farm
products. And he wants a sound nutritional pro
gram developed because that determines what the
farmer raises. Finally, Mr, Schenck believes full
employment must be maintained to provide a cash
xrarket for farm preducts,

Course In Safe Driving
At The University
A course in safe driving is being given at the
University of Georgia this session,
We think that it will be productive of much good.
The course is being attended by school teachers,
most of whom conduct safety courses in the schools
where they are members of the faculty.
There was a time when this would be called a
“frill” and in no way connected with education,
That time has pgssed.
We now regard anything that helps a person learn
how to live a legitimate part of that person’s edu
cation. 4
There was a time when teaching'a person how to
cook was not regarded as a proper course in school
or college, but that has been changed, too, -
A wife who knows how to cook is better equipped
to manage a home properly, and protect the health
of her husband and children.
Learning how to cook, if one happens not to have
had that important training in the home, most
surely belongs in the realm of education and has a
place in the high school or college curriculum,
Perennial Postal Deficit |
Needs Careful Analysis
Bills to rescind the Post Office Department’s re
cent cuts in mail service await floor action in both
houses of Congress. But the lawmakers might bet
ter devote their energy to something else, for these
measures won’t mean anything even should they
hecome law.
The reason is simple: Congress won't provide the‘
money needed to restore the service reductions, In
fact, the department in all likelihood will enter the
1950-51 fiscal year with its budget somewhat trim
med.
It’'s another case of legislators trying to have
their cake and eat it, too. Post Office deficits are
chronic. The Congress never has faced up to the
problem of how to put the department on a consist
ently paying basis. This year postal operations are
$545,000,000 in the red. Ao
If the cuts ordered by Postmaster General Don
aldson serve to stir the public enough to push the
lawmakers toward some real solution, they may be
a good thing. Even though, according to an early
survey of the effects of the changes, a considerable
number of business firms are suffering.
The reductions in service themselves are cer
tainly no solution. At best it was hoped they would
chop $30,000,000 off operating costs, but experience
to date suggests the saving may be substantially
less.
Each of the red-ink services ought to be exam- ‘
ined closely by Congress with a view to streamlin
ing it and gettting it onto the most efficient basis
possible.. Wherever they apply, the recomnrenda
tions of the Hoover Commission should be adopted.
If such revamping does not produce the ecoro
mies needed to wipe out the deficits in these cate
gories, then Congress would seem to have no choice
but to raise rates so operations can get into the
black,
Any other course amounts to flat acknowledge
ment that Congress is prepared to carry the Post
Office Department indefinitely as a cumbersome,
inefficient giant that cannot earn its salt.
If the lawmakers should surprise by really buck
ling down to this task, they ought also end for all
time the absurd fiction of “air mail subsidies” to
the airlines. American civil aviation may need sub
sidy to survive; that's a problem of another sort.
But what is thought wise for the airlines has noth
ing to do with running the air mail service, which
should function according to costs and standards
suitable to its own special nature,
.
A Healthy Sign
The Bonn government of West Germany has
acted to place the German people once more with
in the broad family of peace-loving European
nations. It has approved joining the fledgling Coun
cil of Europe.
Not since 1936, when Nazi Germany stalked out
of the League of Nations in one of the preludes to
World War 11, has this nation been linked in any
way with an international body devoted to peace
and order. i
The action in Bonn is but a bare beginning. West
Germany is half a country, and the Council of Eu
rope the merest shell of a European parliament.
Yet the signs are healthy. All the freedom-loving
peoples should hail this step. They should hope,
too, that it is only the forerunner of others which
some day will carry a united Germany the whole
way into the comrpany of the democratic nations.

Farly Treafment Of Varicose
Veins Hélp's Prevent Ulcers
BY EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D,
Written for NEA Service
The veins which carry the blood
from the feet and legs back toward
the heart are equipped with small
valves which keep the blood from
flowing backward. If it were not
for these valves, the blood would
press hard on the walls of these
veins merely because of the long
column which would have to‘be
raised against the force of gravity.
Unfortunately, during the mid
dle and later years of life, these
valves tend to break down, the
pressure of blood against the walls
of the veins increases, and the
veins become more conspicuous.
This leads to a condition known
as “varicose veins.” Varicose veins
are near the surface because the
deeper veins get more support
from the muscle and other tissues
around them, which helps to pre
vent their enlargement and swell
mg. : i i g b
Varicose veins slow the circula
tion. This frequently results in
breaking down of the skin and
surrounding tissue with the forma
tion of large ulcers, which are an
noying, unsightly, and rather dif
ficult to cure. Ulcers, however, |
do not as a rule occur until the
varicose veins have been present
for a long time.
There are several ways of treat
ing varicose veins and ulcers and
in recent years many of these have
had a good deal of success. The
use of elastic bandages which sup
port the widened and enlarged va
ricose veins is, of course, an old
remedy and helpful in many cases.
Elastic bandages are also often
used—at least for a while—after
other forms of treatment, Varicose
veins are sometimes removed by
surgery, but this may require a
long cut and result in an unde
sirable scar. The use of injections
from varicose veins has proved of
value in some cases. This treat- |
men closes the opening of the
varicose vein entirely so that the
blood must flow through some
other vein which is either normal
or lies deeper in the tissue.
There are enough veins in the
legs so that this does not seriously
hurt the circulation. However, at |
present the use of surgery seems
