price is $2.00 per year.
SCARE BUYING
Pushed by public sentiment,
the Federal Government is rapid-
ly moving toward controls and
regulations. Much of that senti-
ment is occasioned by scare buy-
ing and hoarding. There is some
reason to a portion of the buying,
with higher prices on many items
a foregone conclusion.
When the price of cotton mov-
ed from 30 to 38 cents a pound,
any school girl would know that
prices of cotton goods would be
higher.
Automobile dealers are booked
ahead for new cars: probably
three times as many tires bought
in July as the normal demand,
and big home appliance dealers
have done a land office business.
Bed sheets, pillow cases, under-
wear, nylon hosiery, wool blan-
kets, sugar and other items. If
this buying spree keeps up, con-
trols will be clamped on. Sensi-
ble buying might delay or pre-
vent it.
On the other hand, if the Ko-
rean war develops into a world-
wide conflict, including atomic
war, anything the army needs
will be confiscated.

The Agriculture Department
announced Friday that it will
support grower prices of 1950
crop cotton at an average of
29.45c a pound, gross weight, of
15-16-inch middling grade and
staple length. With enforced cur-
tailment of the crop amounting
to about 60 per cent, there will
be little use for the support
prices this year. Price now is
about 38 cents a pound and will
probably go higher, due to scar-
city.
