H has hopd fo good wath that h might havst cops at thi bst and without too much xta labo. What a gambl th fam is! Not only a gambl but h is th gatst optimist among all classs of mn. Fams and Oth Businssmn Last wk at th agicultual-industial confnc hld in East Lansing w w mindd of th gat numb of suicids among bus-inss mn as compad to fams. Th ason givn was that industy had suffd so much mo than agicultu duing a dpssion. But in my judgmnt th al ason fo this diffnc is that th fam fom boyhood on has had his lif masud and stngthnd -..-M=R...S.-....~...i"-~~-- though advsity and disappointmnt. H has nv bn ctain that h can do o hav all that h had a ight to bliv would b his tun fo his wok o invstmnt. Th vy typ of lif that h livs has mad him mo abl to "tak it on th chin" and hop that nxt tim will b btt. H livs in th hop of a bight tomoow. Should Know Each Oth Btt I can s th nd of a much clos lationship btwn th fams and th manufactus of th commoditis that th fam quis in his businss. W nd a btt undstanding of ach oth's poblms. Phaps som might b smoothd ov fo both of us if w could wok thm out togth. Now I don't man that fams should not b on thi tos to guad thi own intsts fo aft mingling with th 25 o 30 psntativs of industy and listning to thm agu fom a thoough knowldg of thi industis I'm thooughly convincd th fam should know his own job a gat dal btt than h dos if h xpcts to div many bagains with thm. ThY' tll us thi only ason fo bing in businss is fo th fam's bnfit and to mak a pofit. Som claimd to b losing mony. W know that without th fam thy would hav no businss whatv. Ou job is to know what w will nd and to know without any hsitation what out businss will waant us to spnd fo thi poduction. Putting Th Bst Foot Fist I am mindd somtims of th tactics sotd toby a local livstock buy som yas ago who always whn h did not mak th pofit h had plannd on lt us know that h had givn us all a Chistmas psnt o a good will offing o somthing of th sot.

W w givn scads of advic on how whn and what of agicultual poducts to put bfo th public. W Can Hlp Ouslvs Popl a all human and w can sing th sam old song of "lss than cost of poduction" but not many will volunt to giv us mo. But w can vlastingly pach ou quality goods.

Stoy on Machi ny W w told by th fam machiny psntativs that th labo costs a 2% tims mo than bfo th wa. W w told that only 4% of th fam's incom is spnt fo machiny.

Fam Pics Can Stat Pospity Thy admittd thy passd such xpnditus as taxs on to th consum and that th asist plac to stat pospity is by incasing pics!paid to th fam. Thy also said if all labo was mployd fam pics would b much high. Whn th qustion of labo was und discussion many instancs w citd to pov th incasd labo cost in manufactus' pics all of which must pov to th thinking fam that a mo thoough oganization must dvlo-p among fam popl if th poduc v finds himslf civing his fai sha of th consum's dolla.
